Romantic Feelings Don’t Equal Love

Victor and Victorine were infatuated, they couldn’t wait to get enough of each other. They believed they have found their respective soul-mates. They were already making serious commitments, against the wishes of family and friends, who knew better, that these two didn’t belong  together.

They were simply driven by nothing but raw emotion, that consumed them night and day. Victorine felt she had found the missing piece of her life because Victor made here feel complete. Also, Victor thought he had found the bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. Amidst all these, Victorine had never made any attempts to find out anything about Victor’s family history. Both were determined to unravel the bliss of Soul-mate chemistry. Finally, after six months,they both danced joyfully down the aisle of the church altar to vows as husband and wife. Soon after the marriage, the scale of emotions that had beclouded their eyes of judgement, was broken. Fighting, bickering and quarelling about everything, became the order of the day.

If only they had slowed down a bit to discover each other’s family background; If they had put their emotions in check, and not allowed emotions to becloud their judgement. If they had used their brains, perhaps they would have been a lot happier.But they bought into the lie that romantic feelings equal love, and thought that such feelings last forever. Any relationship built on emotionalism is already headed for a serious crash!
