L is to Love
My theme for this year’s Blogging from A to Z April Challenge is Marriage from A to Z in 55 Words. L is to Love in Marriage!
‘Why are you buying those herbs when you will never use them?’, she asked with irritation.
‘Can I do something without your nagging, please’, he retaliated.
‘Here we go, again’, she muttered.
‘I didn’t hear that’, he said sarcastically.
Amidst giving cold shoulder to each other, he held her hand as they crossed the street.
A Word to the Wise
I love you. Not despite your flaws, but because of them. Your flaws make you, you. And I love all you not, just the good bits. – Christopher Donovan Rowell

Loving inspite of the flaws is the purest form of love!!

What a way to love, truly, Shilpa 🙂 To love because of the flaws, not in spite of them. You touched my heart with that. And the image of him taking her hand, even after a squabble. Sigh…

Not the direction I was expecting the piece to take, but I like it. Very true to life. Everything isn’t perfect all the time, but that doesn’t mean the feelings aren’t still there.

Aww… that was so sweet 🙂

That is so cool, Shilpa! I pinned the drawing of the old couple with the umbrella. It reminds me of my husband’s paternal grandparents. I’ve heard you could hear their arguments several houses away. And although I never got to meet his “Papaw”, I can tell from the way “Mamaw” talked about him that she loved him very much.

Shilpa this idea of loving your spouse is interesting. I have experienced it quite a number of times. The image of the old couple is very cute.

Sweet, this one is. Love is very important,and being in love means being able to look beyond all differences ! 🙂
April 14, 2014 10:37 am|
how sweet!! yep..that is what ideal partnerships are made of….
April 14, 2014 10:38 am|
Thats sweet and thats the way married life is 🙂
We love we nag the person we love unconditionally 🙂
April 14, 2014 11:09 am|
oh yes.. I completely agree!! Even when we fight – we make sure we take care of each other!! 🙂
This was sweet Shilpa 🙂

for me there is no diff between love and true friendship and I had come across this photostand that had… “True firensdship is when silence between two people is comfortable”

Wow didn’t expect that direction…n loved the picture… says it all!

Ability to accept imperfections and moving on with them – true love. Nice quote.
April 14, 2014 1:36 pm|
So true…We should love each other ( in a marriage I mean) for what we are, good and bad together…
April 14, 2014 2:05 pm|
Happens with me all the time! Despite the disagreements we keep smiling and laughing at each other.
April 14, 2014 2:22 pm|
Haha That’s so me and my husband. I can imagine ourselves old and fighting in another 30 years 😉
April 14, 2014 2:48 pm|
Very cute..n very true. There just cant be another example to explain disagreements n care in the same line. Perfect example to describe love.
April 14, 2014 2:58 pm|
The picture says it all.
That is Love 😉
April 14, 2014 3:08 pm|
Especially when angry 🙂 We nag those we love, don’t know why? Lovely observation, marriages are so complicated…
April 14, 2014 3:50 pm|
Exactly…for a love and marriage to last there must be unconditional love. No one is perfect and you must love and accept each other for who they are. Lovely post for L.♥
April 14, 2014 4:12 pm|
Awwwww 😎 i was telling my best friend that I nag people I love and it is so true esp in marriages nah ??? Lovely post!

That’s what love is ….perfectly alright even in our imperfections 🙂
April 14, 2014 4:54 pm|
A very good portrayal of real love in marriage, love that sustains, that bears everything, that sticks around. Loving the other not despite but because of all the flaws in the other, loving in that deep caring for the other. Very nicely done, Shilpa 🙂
April 14, 2014 5:10 pm|
Awww that is the sweetest post today 🙂
April 14, 2014 5:23 pm|
Love is wonderful. Love is magical. Love is everything. Love is precious.
April 14, 2014 5:30 pm|
so cute … and it is also true..in all the husband wife relationships I have seen till now, this is the most beautiful part… its not about never fighting … but about always sticking together in all situations that keeps the boat floating

Shilpa,
Read 2 posts now. Very sensible advice in previous one. We have been following many of those. Love is to accept partner as he or she is without demanding him or her to change while making all efforts to overcome own weak points.
Take care
April 14, 2014 10:11 pm|
That is quite true SG
April 14, 2014 10:56 pm|
Each and every post here is amazing Shilpa! I just smile and wonder yes this is how couples are, this is what happens exactly. This is truth with no fairy tale stuff and reality is lovely and interesting even though painful at times….
April 14, 2014 11:14 pm|
Love your post Shilpa, touched my heart and this is my last comment for today 🙂
April 14, 2014 11:55 pm|
I believe the ability to love and respect in spite of differences is the key to forever love.
I love that graphic and post it often on fb.
April 15, 2014 7:11 am|
That was so sweet. Sometimes loving is just such a habit you don’t even think about it. Super take Shilpa.
April 15, 2014 9:01 am|
Beautiful.. Touched my heart Shilpa 🙂
April 15, 2014 1:09 pm|
Awww….so sweet! Yes that’s love!
April 15, 2014 1:26 pm|
Read a few of these now, Shilpa. Amusing and poignant slices of life. Great stuff! Best wishes and stay in touch. Rich
April 15, 2014 8:29 pm|
Good one! 🙂 When you love someone, it has to be “warts and all”, otherwise it’s not true love.
April 16, 2014 8:17 am|
What a perfect post. It sometimes is so hard to remember why your mad, but more often then not it isn’t hard to remember why you love someone.
April 16, 2014 6:27 pm|
Love is a natural outcome of anger
April 17, 2014 10:31 am|
beautifully conveyed the emotion in your 55er and the photo complements your thoughts. lovely, shilpa:)

That’s such a lovely story…and such a cute photo in the end! 😀
May 2, 2014 1:28 pm|
It happens. And that is exactly what I love about love. 🙂
