The Power of Love

Love is a very strong word as some people would say. For some individuals however, it is a very complicated word. The concept of love may be accepted positively by those who are in love. On the contrary, those who have been heartbroken may have a more negative reaction when this topic is discussed.


There are various expressions of love. You can either share it with a friend, your siblings, your family members but the most meaningful form of expression of love would have to be that with your significant other.

Finding the right person to share the rest of your life with could either be easy or a struggle for some. Majority of us have to go through several failed relationships before finding the person who we could refer to as “the right one”. However, there are a few lucky individuals who find their perfect lifetime partners without the need of experiencing several heartbreaks.

Once you find that person whom you feel is the “the right one” you, everything around you just seems to be RIGHT. The only thing left for you to do is make an effort to keep the relationship. If you are thinking that everything stops at finding “the right one”, then you are absolutely wrong. The next thing you need to work on is keeping the right one.

A relationship involves two persons working together to make it grow. Both partners should exert an effort in adjusting and understanding each other’s behaviour and more importantly, learn how to compromise.

Another important factor at keeping the love alive is expressing your love for one another. Most couples (especially those have been married for quite some time) tend to forget to tell each other the most important words – “I LOVE YOU”. We may ask ourselves, how difficult is it to say I love you? Hearing those words from someone you love, and for him or her to say it not as a response to something you might have done for him or her, definitely uplifts the spirit. We need to hear it to be reassured of the love that our partner feels for us.

Uttering the words “I LOVE YOU” to a person you love and not getting any response or reaction at all can also be very hurting. Sadly some people have to go through this. It may be difficult to believe but I know of someone who has claimed to have stopped believing in love and what it has to offer. I feel for the person who has said “I LOVE YOU” to him when he could not say the same words to her.

That’s the power of love. I can brighten up your day and give you reasons to live your life. On the contrary, it also has the power to destroy your day and let you stop living your life. Either way, you do have a choice. To borrow a line from the movie Megamind: “Destiny is not the path that's given to us, but the path that we choose for ourselves”
