Couple Love - Journey in the same boat

Each one of us as human being must experiencing the word 'love' in our life. Not necessary to be in romantic kind of relationship or sexual relationship, even into the experiencing the love of parent (mum and dad) or brotherly love between own blood or close friendship, or love between human and God.

The meaning of Love can be interpret into the context of religion. Each religion give the wonderful mean of it Love from God to Man. In Christian context the word love can be put into several categories i.e. 1)Agape - charitable, selfless, altruistic, and unconditional love, 2) Phileo - brotherly love, 3) Eros - Sexual love, and 4)Storge - child-to-parent love. Christian believe that the whole salvation history is derives from God's Love unto us. Because of Love, God send his only Son, Jesus into the world for us and for mankind. Even until today, to work of God's Love still can be experiencing today by each individual. Or in Buddhism, Love can be put into 3 meaning i.e. 1) Kama - sexual love, Karuna - compassion and mercy, 3) Adve sa & Maitri - benevolent love , unconditional love. Well if you wan to know detail of each religion about Love, you may search in wikipedia or in the Internet.

The Love I would like to share is the love of affection and sexual attraction between man and woman, or boy and girl. This is the kind of love that will lead to relationship as being couple. And eventually will lead to marriage life. This kind of love can be wonderful or can be stressful... It can happen to everyone who undergo this kind of relationships. When the couple are in the in love to each other, they are begin to journey into the same boat. Imagine the boat sail from one place to another location. Alone the journey, it will not be a smooth journey. The sea surely will not calm all the way. There may be rain, storm, sun shine, or windy, but what important is the couple must face it together in the same boat. This can be challenging for everyone, not even before enter into marriage life. It just the beginning. Once the couple be able to go through all the rough sea together, surely they will be able to start the new journey in marriage life, and as later as parent. The journey will start when both are into the serious relationship as so called boyfriend-girlfriend. It will be the test for each to be together and to work together out of respect to love each other. If each of the couple were in deeply in love, surely they will encounter the problem together no matter what happen. It is because the bond of love is so great. One the bond of love is so great, no matter what happen, surely is will be unbreakable and noting will be able to break off the chain of it.
