What is Love Dad? When Is Love Good For Me?

No. This is not the What is Love song from Night at the Roxbury. But the question is the same.

I have two daughters who have longer term boyfriends. I have my own questions about love and romance in the relationship I've been in and out of (mostly in) for a while.

Then I saw this in quite by accident in the opening pages of a book I was cataloguing for my library and listing for possible sale. Published in 1999, author Mira Kirshenbaum, title: Women & Love.

We Know Love Is Good. What Makes It Good For You?

-It's not just how you feel about him. It's much more how he makes you feel about yourself.
-It's not about losing yourself in him. It's about becoming true to yourself with him.
-It's not about how great he is. It's about how great you can become alongside of him.
-It's not about how much you love him. It's about how he helps you love yourself.
-It's not just about his finding room in his heart for you. It's about his finding room in his life for your energy, drive, ambition, passions, and interests.
-It's not just about how good he is deep down. It's about how much you experience his goodness as you life your life together.
-It's not about how he makes you hungry to be with him. It's about how much he makes you feel at home when you are with him.
-It's not about the love you share. It's about your ability to fully, equally, deeply share your life together.
-It's about falling in like.
What good is a lifetime of love if it's not love like this?

Wow! Of course don't inflict this on anyone unless they are thinking about their love. It's gibberish otherwise.

(Watch for my next post: "How Love Can Pay The Mortgage And Other Bills" Oh, don't get all practical with me now, she says jokingly as I test this on her)

BEFORE ‘I DO’: RESOLVE 8 MARRIAGE PITFALLS

More from Rhona. This one on preparing better for marriage.

Why are so many marriages (approximately 50%) ending with partners divorcing. If the divorce causes no financial difficulties, no children are affected and both parties agree, divorce, outside of court, is a lovely little feature within our legal system.

Otherwise, I say, folks work harder. Prepare better. My test is a simple one. Will I and her, be prepared to work through our difficulties as they arise, and they surely will, because we truly love that person and, not necessarily the same thing, love being with that person.

What is it about Venezuela that's different than elsewhere?

I was struck by how different the Venezuelan women were many years ago on a cruise, (a honeymoon, to be exact in case you get the wrong notion) and this got my attention yesterday in reading the Globe and Mail story. At that time, it was about women with figures that shouldn't have been exposed at all, and yes, some that should be I thought, running around in the skimpiest of bikinis. This is different in some ways.

Clearly, I would never pass in this country, where the look is long, dark, shiny hair (even at 40), small nose, café au lait skin, large breasts, flat tummy and shapely derrière.The good news is that plastic surgeons can help you achieve this uniform beauty standard -- for one-third to one-half what you would pay in North America. Breast implants cost just $3,000 (U.S.), a nose job sets you back $2,000, and a facelift as little as $6,000.

Cosmetic surgery is so acceptable here that girls request breast implants for their 15th birthdays.

"Girls will pressure their parents to bring them in at 13 or 15 and they'll ask for breast implants, liposuction or a nose job," says Dr. Pedro Meneses, a U.S.-trained plastic surgeon with the Hospital de Clinicas de Caracas. "Women here like their curves. But I won't operate on anyone who isn't 18."
