This post is a little different from my ush because rather than blanketed advice, I'm sharing certain principles that improve communication in my marriage. You'll hopefully notice a common theme, and I do my best to make that clear throughout.

What is Love? Many are still asking this same question today, and I think the pendulum is always swinging. Through generations and culture, one day this is Love and the next it's not. For me, Love is unchanging; it's people who change. Since we live in a culture where we are constantly bombarded and consumed by the sharing of information and social influence, we're still bound to be surprised by these common myths about Love.

I'm taken back by many things being stated that imply his supposed desire for marriage...when they actually don't. Sure, there are limitless subtle cues that say he desires marriage (one day), can see himself marrying you or that there's simply long-term relationship potential. And yet those things don't necessarily mean he's ready to get down on one knee, make you his wife, be your husband, commit to you *that way*, or say I Do to you.
