The article I read was very interesting and very true on many different levels. Like I have said before in my Love Story paper, showing love does not consist of buying new jewelry, clothes, or cars. It is caring for one another when they are up and down. My grandparents show this love all the time - 24 hours a day. They are older and do not necessarily have the ability to buy the latest luxuries. They show their love by saying good morning, holding hands, and having a great conversation. In addition, my parents also show this love to one another. My parents are currently paying for tuition's as well as some apartment charges for my sisters and me. Therefore, they are not always buying the latest items. They may have busy lives, but at the end of the day they lie in bed together and talk about their days - the good and bad parts. In conclusion, love is not buying new rings, cars, bracelets, or clothes. I believe love is learning how to live with your soul mate without all of the amenities. Living a simple life with the one you love should be all one needs. We can all admit it is nice to receive gifts; however, a strong relationship will always last if a couple can live without the luxuries.
