Some people feel a relationship is total intimacy and involvement. Others think it is simply loving coexistence. Some lovers agree with the French writer, Jean Anouilh, when he said, "Love is, above all, the gift of oneself." Others agree with another Frenchman, the author of The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, who felt "Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction." Where do we get such diverse convictions of what love should be and how lovers should behave? What you expect from a relationship comes from your experience with love. #point noted.
