I do believe that true love exists...but it's not the stuff of fairy tales. I wrote a blog a while ago called 3 must haves for a strong committed relationship - solely based on my personal exepriences of failed relationships, what went wrong, and how I finally hit the jackpot with my husband. I've said it before and I'll say it again: we aren't perfect, but we're perfect for each other. :) Here's the link to the blog if you're interested. https://steemit.com/relationships/@merej99/relationships-three-must-haves-for-a-strong-committed-relationship

As for defining love... I simply can't do that. It's like a wordless entity. Everyone has an interpretation of it. Sometimes it's confused with lust, but love is like faith for me. I believe in a higher power and love ranks up there.
