What is love... baby dont hurt me, dont hurt me no more.

So Ive her everything from "nice guys finish last", to "love is friendship set on fire", to something about not being in the friends category cause she wont want to date you. The Bible talks about love is patient and kind and all that stuff, but what about the real deal. You can "love" your friend and not be "in love" with them. My granddad told me that in order to fully love someone you have to respect them. Honestly, hes the only man Id take love advice from. He hustled his whiskey rations in Korea to put my grandmother through nursing school and would take care of her until the lung cancer took her away form him. I think love is just another word, a game to most people. A way to get what you want or to get laid. But what is love in the context of marriage? To be willing to stick by your wife while she slowly dies, or for you (the wife) to stick by your man if he pulls a gun on you in the middle of the night because he had another war nightmare. Through rich and poor is just a ironic and over used BS said at weddings. Yeah people have standers and what they want but dang if they don't settle for less. I don't know, I'm 20 years old and busy as can be. I still have a while before I think about who I'm going to marry and crap, but whats the point if its a game. I mean marriage is suppose to be full of the unknown. The unknown of sex, and living with someone and even parenthood. And I'm sure I'll get married one day and start a family and all that but, I want the girl God wants for me. He knows who she is and I'm not worried about it... its just that people today make me sick.Kids in middle school saying how much they love so and so and how they are the one. No wonder middle schoolers are becoming parents. Welcome to the new age. Get married in Vegas and wake up the next day, not remember it and make it all go away for a small fee. Call me old school, but what happen to the generation that would kiss their service man in the middle of the streets of New York when he came home. The couples who have been together for 50 plus years. She would fix him dinner and make sure he go his pills. I'm tired of it, and I don't want to be that couple who fight and argue and divorce, I refuse. I refuse to think about marrying a girl unless she meets all of the standers and things I want. And its funny someone wished me luck when I said I wanted a virgin and I just kinda laughed. The longer my list gets the smaller the choice of women gets, that makes it that much easier to pick her out. Lets face it, we don't have a sign that says they are the one for you. Anyway, that's my venting about love and the crap its been drug though.
