love in two phases

for me marriage absolutely carrys no meaning when it comes to differentiate love between the two phases, marriage for me just growns my love, for me love is love, either before marriage and after it!

Truth be told each type of love can hold its own intensity. I have experienced both and I can safely say that they both have their kind of intesity. True you have the passion, desire, and lust which comes with new love. This can make it seem intense beyond all measure. However, even after marraige you can sustain this intesity through the right course of action. This is not to say that you should. I have found that love after marriage carries its own intensity. Because once you are married for a few years you know each other so well that you can anticipate each others needs. This is not necessarily true of all marriages, but I have found it to be so. The passion and lust may wane, but the love grows deeper if it is true. This deeper love and understanding can be even more intense than the love you share before you are married. It all depends how you view marriage really. If you view marraige as a chore or an undesired result then you will not have this intense rich love. But if you view marriage as acontinuation and growth of the love you first shared then you will know that this continuation can create an even more intense love which will last for a lifetime. Which do I prefer then? Love before or love after marriage? Well I cannot really choose one over the other, having experienced both, I would say they are equally intense in their own ways and to choose one over the other would be to negate both.
