All that we learned and heard about love, we had to unlearn. This is the story of that painful, but necessary journey. Like many we minimized love to a series of transactions driven by pride and confused as love. Fifty-fifty is not enough to sustain love, and if you are counting or in any way tracking, that is also not love but a business transaction disguised as love.

Love, as we learned through trials, tests, tribulations, and triumphs, is much more than a feeling; deeper than knowledge and stronger than determination-it’s the enemy of pride. Love grows uncontrollably deeper and more authentic, the more you give it, not the more you expect it.

Love defies logic.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

Maya Angelou
