I Love You. Now What?: Falling in Love is a Mystery, Keeping It Isn't
No other human activity is initiated with such powerful hopes and expectations as an amorous relationship. This is true even for those who have failed or encountered obstacles in the past with other relationships. At the start of a new relationship, the enthusiasm of gambling on love is renewed always. And, unlike most of life’s activities, falling in love is not something we can plan ahead of time. It just happens.
It also happens, sometimes, without us realizing it. For example, we may find ourselves involved in a relationship and ask ourselves, “How did I get to this point?” Then we realize that the words “I love you” have escaped our hearts, our lips. It is at this point that our mind asks, “What now?”
As long as we are willing to admit it, every human being in some way goes through this at some point in life. It’s that marvelous aspect of love and relationships that cannot be controlled like other activities that develop normally in our lives. And this is how all of these questions arise after we hear ourselves affirm “I love you.”
