durangod said:I dont want to change the tone or focus of this post but to explain my comment, what i am referring to when i say "overrated" are generally 3 things.
1. Todays love and devotion compared to love and devotion of the my parents generation. Back then love was not overated, love was real and devotion was real. Today that is not the case. People today change partners like changing the toilet paper roll, it seems just that thoughtless. So compared to the old days, yes today love is overrated.
2. Many of todays couples dont get into it for love, they get into it for financial gain, its easier for two incomes to make a living than it is one. So many make the mistake of marrying for the wrong reason. They marry for money, they marry to get out of their parents home, they marry when they are not mentally prepared for what it takes to make it work, or they marry because one is pregnant. Love and friendship is the only reason to ever get married, because when the looks and the money is gone, if you dont have your best friend then its over.
3. Majority not minority - There are exceptions Larry and Oldgator, but for the majority of the US population, they dont share your experience and who knows why. But for some like yourselves (minority) love is a very special thing. But for most (majority) love is indeed overrated, and that is reality.
I am happy for you both
