Once you have found love, i suppose some people just sit back and accept that they have found the right person. They stop looking for love, and bask in the glory.
However, there are people who find their perfect love, and they continue to look for others. Almost as if continually checking if 'the grass is greener'. Can the grass ever be greener though?
You here stories, i'm one myself, where you have a perfect marriage/relationship and still your mind occasionally wanders and you end up making a stupid mistake... sometimes these mistakes are cast aside and you try and try again. But other end of divorce, in seperation... in disaster.
People do this is their first 12 months, or sometimes after 20 years... But why?
Should you live you life always searching for something more, or should you be happy with your lot?
As humans we are programmed to strive for the best. Better education, better career, better house, better holidays... and better relationships.
What i mean by this is that when things are good, things are brilliant, a couple is totally happy. they think life is wonderful and therefore they do not have this need to look for more.
However, then things are shite. rows are in abundance and people turn ugly. in because of this, the human nature of 'i will begin the quest for something better' kicks in.
But as we so often see, the grass so frequently turns from green to black when you make the jump over the fence.

Love is a promise that is never broken.
Debatable I think.
People promise that they love all the time and they don't mean it, but in saying that, can that me classed as pure and honest love?
The debate between real love and fake love is something that I think will appear continually throughout this blog.
Love as a promise is a notion that I'm inclined to agree with though.
When you tell someone you love them, you are making them a promise that they are the most important thing in your world. You are promising them that you will do anything In your not to hurt, or deceive them and to protect them from anything and everything.
But can that promise ever be broken? If you fall out of love, do you break your promise? Or is your promise simply no longer there?
If someone hurts you, are you allowed to break away and rescind your promise? Or are you bound to love forever by your promise?
I think that in some way, when you promise your love to someone there is a part that you can never take back. There is always that bond, whatever happens.

Welcome.
This is my blog on love, inspired by a book with the same title by David Baird.
I came across this book whilst wandering around Waterstones and I couldn't help but be taken in.
As a 21 year old who has spent her teenage years falling in and out of love, finally falling for the perfect guy at 16, love is something that resonates in my every atom.
Adam is my world, my love, my best friend and my worst enemy. We've been together 5 years in October, and I couldn't wish for anything more.
love is what makes my world go round.
But this is not simply a blog about me and Adam. This blog is for exploring the corners of love, opening up the crevices and seeing what we really think.
Comments are welcome, and I hope you enjoy it.
