The Ontology of Love within the Context of Romantic Relationships. Content Warning.
Love, as such an intricate and complex phenomenon, occupies such a central space in human experience. While so ordinary and ubiquitous, its real nature remains a mystery, especially in romantic relationships. Scholars and practitioners alike have been trying to define the boundaries of love, which, by its very nature, is constantly in flux with the unfolding of time, psychological, and relational changes. In its essence, love is a relationship that moves beyond fleeting emotions or whimsical infatuations to encompass a deep and lasting connection founded on trust, respect, and selflessness. This relational model is mutualistic, requiring both the ability to give and the ability to receive, and it provides the foundation for healthy relational functioning. An advanced understanding of the ontology of love helps individuals and pairs build relationships marked by resilience, emotional depth, and lasting satisfaction.

Marriage is a Deep, Deep Subject
This is my first entry into the Vocal "Marriage" community. I've been avoiding it. I didn't want to write my thoughts or opinions about it because they are often deep and abstract. I've been single, married, and divorced. I know what all three "titles" feel like. I was single for 40 years, married for 12 years, and now I've been divorced since November 2023. Do I have anything to say here in this community that won't come across as jaded, bitter, or cynical? Yes. Do I have anything to say here in this community that is thoughtful, honest, important, necessary, or kind? Yes. So here I am after waiting out the entire year of 2024 as the "divorcee" ready to speak about marriage again to those who still enjoy the conversation or institution of marriage.
