Love is Boring!

In my unpacking today, I came across some old correspondence with past "loves". In rereading some of it, it occurred to me how unlike my marriage is to my past relationships. To put it simply, It's boring! I think real love is patient. Love is not jealous. It's unchanging. It's predictable. It is not hysterics. It is not screaming and name calling. Love is not dysfunctional. There is no physical or verbal abuse in love. Love is not a game. Manipulation and guilt are not love. Control is not love. Fear and uncertainty are not love. Betrayal is not love. Love is peaceful. It's compassion. It's shared, exchanged, given, and taken. There is no one side. There are no lies. Love is acceptance and understanding. It's listening. Love is pretty fair. It is not filled with anxiety. It's not a rollercoaster. Love is constant. Love is not a mess. It's really not that complicated. It is not insecurity or sleepless nights. There is no punching in love. No kicking! No choking! Hugs...there is hugs. Holding and kissing. Love is connection. It's warm. Love is calm. Love is comfort. Love is everyday and every night. Real love is so much less dramatic. Love is safe. Love is home. Love is steady. It doesn't hurt. Truth be told true love is kinda boring!
