Week 1 Question 3

“What we talk about when we talk about love,” does not challenge my beliefs about romantic love. I believe that marriage does not create or keep romantic love. In order to love someone, and for that love to endure, one requires the ability to see his or her couple with clarity. Also, I believe that love does not teach couples to communicate or to keep their love going for the rest of their life but why is that? I think the answer is simple most couples never learn to keep a loving marriage. Romantic love produces any kind of excitement for most people who fall in love. In the short reading, we can identify two couples. One couple has been married for one year and their love is still young full of joy and happiness. In the other hand, the couple represented by Mel and Terri has been married for five years. This couple has been married for a long time now. As we can see, personages of this couple feel alone and they usually find faults on each other becoming jealous, angry and cynical to each other. So, romantic love is the one that keeps couples united the rest of their life no matter the time or the experience if two individuals love each other they will keep love alive for the rest of their life.
