WHY SHARE LOVE PHRASES

Although times change, love remains . It is possible that the way of loving is evolving, finally moving away from a whole series of inherited beliefs where possession, suffering and jealousy were the highest representations of what was then considered a good love. Even so, be that as it may, love continues to be the engine of life .

However, love is not always pretty , and in the same way that it draws smiles, it also draws tears, because the world of relationships can be complicated and confusing. Emotions are not always expressed, or are not done honestly , and the expectations created about the other person do not have to match what is actually received. It is convenient to express love and emotions on time and famous love phrases can help explain when we lack words.
