What the What

Bmom, I was clicking the refferal links from the blog and came upon this gem of a response to you from your local. I didn't want you to miss it.
baconsmom:

There is no "One". Lasting love is a choice, not a feeling, and you're not going to be hit over the head with "Romance" when you find some guy to marry. 

Make sure - before you date, if possible - that the guy shares your values and morals, agrees with the things that are most important to you. You should agree on money, sex, and kids - the big three reasons of divorces - and you should get along well day-to-day as friends.

Until you find someone like that, do your own thing. Be yourself, enjoy being in your own skin and in your own life, and you'll find someone if you're open to it.  

I could not agree with this less. I really disliked my DH for over a year. One night we got drunk, had a little fun and quickly fell madly in love. He is not a choice, he is the love of my life and it is whole heartedly. It has nothing to do with my brain, in fact my brain is usually mad at him.

    Oh holy crapmonkeys. Divorce in 5...4....

    I'm sure there are plenty of libertarian-thinking, smart, handy, handsome men with whom I'd get along famously, and who'd be willing to put up with me for the next 60 years or so. I happened to meet the one who became my husband, but no one's going to convince me we were destined to be together, and that no one else in the world could be deserving of my love. 

    And yeah, love is a choice. Especially after ten or fifteen years, when they guy at work is flirting with you and your kids are bratty teenagers and you have nothing to talk about at the dinner table - at that point, staying married isn't about being "in love", it's about loving, which is an action.
