A lot of us have had childhood sweethearts. Is the person you are with now the person you thought you would be with when you were younger? My childhood sweetheart and I went separate ways for a time. Throughout those years I would often think of him and wonder how he was doing and what his life was like. I always hoped that we would be together. No one compared to him and I really just wanted to be with him. He was my best and dearest friend. I'm happy that we were able to get back together. He had felt the same way about me and cared for me deeply. We were childhood sweethearts and now we are married and hope we will be together always.

A very nice topic. Well yes we all have small dreams which grow bigger as we too grow up by the time. All dreams may or may not change, but just one dream never changes or tends to change ever and that is that one special person who we want in our life forever. Not everyone is very lucky to find a person so similarly resembling to their dream boy or girl. I also wish for a person who has been with me all my life but now i want him to arise alive and stay with me. I hope i too get my dream man someday. Thugs! in my heart.

I agree with you. Most of us have thought about the type of person we want in our life, what we want them to be like, etc. I too hope that you are able to find and meet someone who cares about you deeply and who wants to share his life wife you. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me.

ohh that's so sweet for you. you know in most cases people have ended up with people they don't love because rel love is just for one person and the moment they live you, you may never love again. the other challenge is that in most cases you find the person you love so much doesn't love you as much and also the one he she loves so much doesn't love them so love remains a mystery.me i love my wife so much but i think she doesn't love me like i do

All the situations that you mentioned can be very difficult and hard to understand. I think a lot of the time we have a hard time communicating how we feel and what we think to our spouses and vice versa. I'm happy that you love your wife and I hope that she will come to love you as much as you need her to and communicate effectively with you so that you both get what you need out of your marriage.

I never thought that I would be with the person who I am with today. I was "in love" with one person for four years of my life between the ages of 15 and 19, and I was perfectly convinced that I would have to be with that person or I would not be happy. However, when I was 20 I met my current partner and he just made all feelings that I'd ever had for this other guy seem really silly and not love at all. We got together and have been together ever since; it's just lovely, and it goes to prove that you do find love in unexpected places.

Sometimes you wont get what you desire, but some are lucky though to get what they wish for that may not be luck though, they may work hard on to achieve what they want, sitting idle and thinking of what we need is dumb, than if you want to achieve something you have to go for it and work your way to achieve that goal,if you dont get something you wished and worked hard for may it is good for the future may hold someone better. Infact be happy with what you get.

I appreciate your thoughts. It is very important to work hard to get what you want. I agree with you a lot, that most of the time people who have what they want it's because they have worked to get the desired results they are looking for. Like you mentioned just thinking about isn't going to do us much good we have to make practical application in our lives if we are to improve our situation.

I'm happy for you girl. You're lucky because you are with the person you mostly loved ever since your young. That is very interesting story. You're married with the person you thought you'll never be with but now you are so inlove. In my situation I might be with the person I'm with now because I really inlove with her..

For me if it has unity in your relationship and have the law by Jehovah God it will be up until the end.

thats a lovely story you share here. I met the love of my life in 1998 but sadly he only wanted the fun in a relationship, to be cared for and pampered and he didnt want to take any relationship responsibility. So we had to part ways though it was very painful.
Luckily I had just met someone online who helped me so I would not land in the absolute dumps and this is the one who married me later and I am still married to today almost 9 years later.

I love my finance. But he is not the man who i want to marry two years ago. Ya, i always depicted my hubby in my mind. He must has a handsome face, good figure, good educational background. So i refused to be my finance's girlfriend six years ago. Cauze he doesnt meet my criterion. But during these years, i found that i fell in love with him. My parents and friend never think abt that i'll marry to him. Yes, the criterion is not for the one who u want to be with but for urself. And the criterion is changing day after day, but love dont.

I have been with my husband for a year now and he is not my childhood sweetheart. I did have a lot of exes but nothing compares to him. He's also the father of my first child and I have promised to myself that I would settle down completely once I started my own family. Marriage is not an issue for me anymore as long as my family is with me and we have a great time together.
