Post log 200808062233 love

Yes, watching Battlestar Galactica with spouse is always fun. Never thought my spouse would get hooked onto it - likes the drama, the action, everything. Didn't much care for Stargate SG-1 but like Atlantis.

Watched the movie "La Chamade" - interesting, very real life. A woman for whom love and the good life don't mix, and in the end, she loses both. Seems like. However, the way men look at her and are enamoured with her, she can get the good life back if she so choses.
Now love, that's a different story, she's just happy being with Antoine and only wishes that he only love her - she even claims that he's the only one she'll ever love and I think she meant it.

Cave man theory for love is the desire to be with someone, more than anyone else (and for some at that moment - Don Juan deMarco said, "I've loved only one woman .... at a time").
The basic purpose of the man on this earth is procreation, since before all, above all, man is a living organism. As man has "civilized" and evolved, this basic purpose has taken on complex meaning in life, including love. (Hind sight being 20-20, how many of our crushes felt like love, while they were in progress).
Love is stubbornness ... it is perfect for raising a family. I think that is the reason people separate after being together for decades. Children are a great "on".
That is the reason why "arranged-marriage" has worked so well and continues to do so. It depends on the ability of humans to compromise and chart a common goal in life.
"Love-marriage" is an arrangement which you make on your own, all the way.
We have turn-ons and turn-offs in life, whoever fits and stays on the "on" side, will continue to make us happy, else people suffer or separate or both.
