Health benefits of love!
I came acroos this article on health benefits of love the other day and it got me thinking. Does love really have its benefits?
Ok so my take on the subject....
The article says "It takes a calmer, more stable form of love to yield clear health benefits". And I would have to completely agree with this statement, even though reaching that state of peace and stability in love can be difficult and is not a place you stay at for too long for you keep oscillating between peaceful and edgy states (or atleast I do).
Once you have been in a relationship for a while a certain stability and monotony sets in. This can be both good and bad. Bad because you tend to take each other of granted and this is where the terrible terrible fights begin. Good because you've given enough time to understand each other and have finally reached a stage where you can have a life in and around that comfort zone.
I am happy to state that I am at that blissful place right now in life. I have my moments and days of insecurity and attention deprivation. But for most part of the week I am content just being under the same roof with my husband and each of us doing our own thing. It gives both of us emotional space and time and mind space to do what we like. I want my time alone with myself in a day and I defend my right to that very vehemently.
We've had that rosy time in life where all we could think of doing each evening was to be with each other. It felt damn good. But, I think it also left me with very little time to think about anything else. I like the place we are in our relationship. It's a great sense of contentment and happiness that I feel now. I am at peace with myself, with my marriage and with life, in general.
If you ask me today what marriage means to me... I'd say it means "independence". That's what my marriage to A got me. I feel free. Free to do what I like. I've done an almost 90 degree (if not 180) change in life since I met him. I am a more confident, more open-minded person than I used to be. He's given me independence to be me. I think just that feeling is what makes me healthier everyday. I feel am growing younger every day!
found this somewhere... on someone's profile... like the thought...
"Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free till they find someone just as wild to run with them."
A- All Thanks to you! Love you loads!
