I have yet to meet my partner in life, but this is how I think true love can grow and bind two people.
DEEPEST LOVE
It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 am, when an elderly gentleman, in his 80's, presented to have sutures (stitches) removed from his thumb. He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.
I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him.
I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.
While taking care of his wound, we began to engage in conversation. I asked him if he had a doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.
I then inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer Disease.
As we talked, and I finished dressing his wound, I asked if she would be worried if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.
I was surprised, and asked him. "And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?" He smiled as he patted my hand and said. "She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is."
I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, "That is the kind of love I want in my life."
True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

This is a beautiful story of love. A love that is faithful and true. One only similar in comparison when against God's perfect love for us.
This story brings up some interesting thoughts.
Marry someone who will be there to hold you when your hurting
Marry someone who loves you for you
Marry someone who respects their parents and yours also..
Think about weather this person will be around to hold your hand, comfort and console you if you lose a loved one.
Does he/she have characteristics of faithfulness
Would you want your child to marry someone like them?If he/she would cheat on their taxes, lie to have favor of man..anything similar--know they will cheat on you, and you should not be surprised
A friend and I were discussing the man in Florida, I believe, who was stanidn by his wife's side. She has been in a coma for the past 13yrs. He wants to keep her on life support..Her parents (understandably) want to end her 'suffering' . My girlfriend was saying she couldnt understand why he was even still married to her.. that, the wife was no longer his wife, atleast not for 13yrs . I could understand I told her..
He has a "Deepest Love" for his wife
When we stop ignoring the 'red flags' the road smooths out as we come to know more about who we are...what we will or wont accept nor compromise on..when we accept people for who they are, just as they are...without trying to change them we can by faith through Jesus Christ have our own Deepest Love

And now abideth faith, hope, charity (love), these three; but the greatest of these is charity (love)
