Should one acquire something special to be successful in Love?

Every thing is right in love and war - is the commonest quote. Many may not agree to another quote which came to my mind a few seconds ago. That "every adult is in love", whether s/he recognises the feeling and laments it as LOVE or not, is the million doller quiestion. Some one passes you as a speedy vehicle, and for a moment you admire her; your eyes follows her for some minutes in the bussy trafic and you wait for her to return a glance. There can be many occaision such as the one narrated above. Do you lament such encoounters as Love or atleast begining of Love? Those who have prospered in their love life must have started in the same manner. Then why a large chunk of men and women fail in their attempt to begin a serious relationship after their first meetings. Or in other words do "the successful in love" have something special in their personallity and behavior. I guess - yes; they indeed have some very special accumen in their personality and behavior. I will invite the experts - those who are successful in Love.

For me love can never just happen simply because you saw a person on a speeding vehicle. I always think that love is not on the first sight. Love is a process. Love develops and love grows, and with this, i always believe that love involves time. Time so that you will be able to fully know a person, and grow in love with him/her. As with regards to acquiring something, everyone is capable of loving, we dont need to own a special thing to succeed in love. Everyone can love and be love, that is the human nature. For me there is no such thing as a failre love, because love does not fail. It never does. You just love, it cannot be measured.

Indeed love develops and grows: love involves time - I agree. But it is a different perspective all together. Have you ever thought of those who live together for some weeks and then depart to lead lives as strangers? Why are so many love marriages unsuccessful in a sense that those who loved each other fight in court while seeking divorse. I thing there are things one must learn; say for example - to remain sincere to his/her spouse and respect each others preference,priorities and choice; to understand and acknowledge each other's need and try to fulfill it. Love at first sight indeed is unique in a sense that it is either divine or short lived.

For me, those who got divorce, it was not love. If you love, you are willing to commit, sacrifice, and submit.
