Summary

Alfred Lord Tennyson very famously in his poem, ‘In Memoriam' in 1849 said, “It is better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all”. Although written to commemorate the memory of his best friend, Arthur Henry Hallam, sixteen years after his death in 1933, it is quoted widely today in context with romantic relationships.

It puts into perspective how in spite of all the heartache and pain that love may bring; the joy, sorrow, and euphoria that can come along with it is something that everyone has to experience atleast once in their lifetime. 

 

Michael Smith put it beautifully in his most memorable song,

“Love in your heart wasn’t put there to stay.
Love is not love until you give it away”.

Such a beautiful thought and how more beautiful if we could actually hold onto it!

 

There are few things more exquisite to watch in this world than a couple deeply in love. Use some of the above mentioned quotes  every day and watch you and partner grow and become one of those few lucky souls; ringing in year after year of never falling out of love with one another.
