Yes, Romeo, as in a few sparks kindling a then slowly growing fire of love.

What happens when a spark cannot kindle a romantic fire, when love does not come to warm the heart after all?

Is that what happened to our parents? Did they then stay together out of courtesy?

Or did they have to marry according to the social or political standings of their respective clans, right from the start?

Oh Romeo, what a world do we live in! People marry for love, sex, family, lineage, and then some.

Yes, they do. As long as the love is good enough. As long as sex, family, or lineage can compensate for little love.

Now Romeo, let's not be too harsh on people. They have to make due one way or another, you know.

If you wait for true love and it never comes, you'll be sorry one day as well. Isn't a little love better than no love at all?

Juliet, you're so compassionate. Are you saying that even with experiencing just a little love, people can find meaning in life?

Yes, they do it seems! Some also turn to faith for meaning. St. Augustine already conjured that the greatest love is that of God.

God or not, I say find that one person with whom you can be in love. And then work on that love and your lives together...

And know what love is and what it isn't? I mean sex, family, lineage, and money aren't love, even though they substitute.

And do not mistake fascination, empathy, lusting, compassion, pity, devotion, or just plain liking for love, either.
