I don't believe so and if there is another way, I don't want to know about it. Beautifully said, stephen.

As you can see...we are in agreement... Thank you.

For some there is only one way to love - per chance for others perhaps another way..each has his/her own way - nicely put!

Thanks for sharing and submitting to

Love is not a 50/50 thing...it is a 100/100 thing...something done halfway is not love...it is something else...

I agree Steve, love is 100 or 110% at times, never below.
