Does love like this exist in real life?

[Dhoulmagus]

Love his wife as he loves himself. I like that even though I'm not Christian.

I interpret it like this: if you make a mistake, you won't overlook it. You will fix this mistake and will punish yourself for it if you keep making this mistake. Treat women the same. That doesn't mean just punish them when they make mistakes, but you get the idea of how to treat yourself (and thus, her).

Yeah, guy spin plates and talks to other women, but gets scared and posts on sosuave when he sees a girl has a tinder on her phone. Guys here tell him to dump that hoe lol.

Does love like that exist...

It's a movie, bub. If the sh*t that happens in a movie happened in real life, people wouldn't feel the need to spend $15 to watch the movie.

Tell you what happens in real life.... constipation. I don't see a whole lot of movies out there about constipation.

The more I think about it, the more I think there would need to be some pretty unique circumstances:

1) Both would have to be really attracted to each other to begin with

2) Would need to be in High School or College where parents play a big role in the approval of the boyfriend because they are more likely to live at home

3) Parents would have to disapprove and try to get her to stop seeing him or forbid them from seeing each other which creates an environment where she rebels against the parents overbearing and protection and makes her own decisions, and feeling that he is the "only one who understands me" so they feel they have no one to turn to but that person leading to a situation where they are desperate to keep that person in their life, almost like they are solely reliant on them.

4) The guy is the first person she had sex with, leading to always remembering him and most likely having some type of special feeling for him even if they don't fall in love...

5) The guy has to return her feelings and in some way encourage them to keep growing

6) They likely move in together or on their own away from family and friends again leading to a solely reliant on each other, "us against the world" mentality...

I think its a unique set of circumstances that creates the perfect storm that leads up to this...

I've noticed most of the couples I know who have stayed together the longest got married very young, and started a family. Maybe the fact that they haven't been out banging a large number of sexual partners increases the loyalty factor. I think there are studies out there that show that the more partners a woman has, the less likely she is to bond with one of them.

This is kind of strange, because when I was growing up, I always heard that the longer you waited to get married, the better your chances of staying together. I think when they do research studies, they look at the age they got married, come back five years later and check them, say "are you still married? Great", and call it a day. I've seen a lot of marriage studies that only use a five year survival rate as criteria - sort of like cancer, lol.

Definitely a LOT of young people who get married end up crashing and burning, but I wonder if some of the longest lasting marriages come out of that group as well?
