Some of the elements in the love story have changed over

time. In the ancient world and during the Middle Ages, love

stories did not have happy endings, and they focused on love

outside of social and economic status. This was an innovation

at that time, because most marriages were arranged and the

partners were of the same social class. Beginning in the late

Middle Ages and the Renaissance, love stories began to have

happy endings, because marriage was coming to be rooted in

feelings of truelove and couples came together by personal

choice.

Modern

love

stories

are

influenced

by

Hollywood,

and

often

feature pre-marital and extra-marital sexual relationships,

and

single

parents

with

children.

Over

the

years,

a

conventional format was followed. As entertainment and moral

values changed, however, the distinction between convention

and innovation became blurred.

The

conventional love story formula

has several

We'd like to share some of the positive meanings love has

for us.

Love means that I know the person I love. I'm aware of the

many sides of the other person -- not just the beautiful side

but also the limitations, inconsistencies and faults. I have

an

awareness

of

the

other's

feelings

and

thoughts,

and

I

experience

something

of

the

core

of

that

person.

I

can

penetrate

social

masks

and

roles

and

see

the

other

person

on

a

deeper

level.

Love means that I care about the welfare of the person I

love.

To

the

extent

that

it

is

genuine,

my

caring

is

not

possessive, nor does it hold the other person back. On the

contrary, my caring frees both of us. If I care about you, I'm

concerned

about

your

growth,

and

I

hope

you

will

become

all

that

you

can

become.

Consequently,

I

don't

put

up

obstacles

to

what

you

do

that

enhances

you

as

a

person,

even

though

it

may

result

in my discomfort at times.

Love means having respect for the dignity of the person I

love. If I love you, I can see you as a separate person, with

your

own

values

and

thoughts and

feelings, and I

do

not

insist

that you surrender your identity to match an image of what I

expect

you

to

be

for

me.

I

can

allow

and

encourage

you

to

stand

alone

and

to

be

who

you

are,

and

I

avoid

treating

you

as

an

object

or using you primarily to satisfy my own needs.

Love

means

having

a

responsibility

toward

the

person

I

love.

If

I

love

you,

I

respond

to

most

of

your

major

needs

as

a

person.

This

responsibility

does

not

include

my

doing

for

you

what

you

are capable of doing for yourself; nor does it mean that I run

your life for you. It does mean acknowledging that what I am

and what I do affects you, so that I am directly involved in

your

happiness

and

your

suffering.

A

lover

does

have

the

capacity to hurt or ignore the loved one, and in this sense we

see

that

love

involves

an

acceptance

of

some

responsibility

for

the impact my way of being has on you.

Love means making a commitment to the person I love. This

commitment

does

not

mean

surrendering

our

total

selves

to

each

other; nor does it imply that the relationship is necessarily

permanent.

It

does

involve

a

willingness

to

stay

with

each

other

in times of pain, struggle, and despair, as well as in times

of calm and enjoyment.

Love

means

trusting

the

person

I

love.

If

I

love

you,

I

trust

that you will accept my caring and my love and that you won't

deliberately

hurt

me.

I

trust

that

you

will

find

me

attractive,

and

that

you

won't

abandon

me;

I

trust

the

mutual

nature

of

our

love.

If

we

trust

each

other,

we

are

willing

to

be

open

to

each

other and reveal our true selves.

Love can tolerate imperfection. In a love relationship

there are times when I am bored, times when I may feel like

giving up, times of real strain, and times I feel I can't move

forward. Authentic love does not imply enduring happiness. I

can stay during rough times, however, because I can remember

what

we

had

together

in

the

past,

and

I

can

picture

what

we

will

have together in our future if we care enough to face our

problems

and

work

them

through.

We

agree

with

the

idea

that

love

is a spirit that changes life. Love is a way of life that is

creative and that transforms. However, love not reserved for

a perfect world. Love is meant for our imperfect world where

things go wrong. Love is meant to be a spirit that works in

painful situations. Love is meant to bring meaning into life

where

nonsense

appears

to

rule.

In

other

words,

love

comes

into

an imperfect world to make it possible to live.

Love is open. If I love you, I encourage you to reach out

and develop other relationships. Although our love for each

other and our commitment to each other might prohibit certain
