Love – An old wine in a new bottle

Feelings like true love never come with an expiration date. But it is possible for that emotion to evolve with the passage of time, just like human beings did. That is where the picture of new and old love comes into the picture.

If you read the old sayings about love, you will find that things were quite uncomplicated at that time – when a boy liked a girl or vice versa, they found various ways to approach the object of their desire and express their feelings. Some were hesitant or some were bold, but the approach was mainly direct or through another person. Read the Love Quotes of today and there are so many other things to factor into:

• Long distance relationships – One of the most testing times in love occurs when your loved one has to live in a different city, state or country due to certain obligations. Distances in the earlier days were not too many or too often observed in couples. But now-a-days, starting from teens to adults, there are many such relationships. Modern love, if true, can withstand all these barriers and keep a couple united despite these distances.
• Live-in relationships – There are many debates going on about this particular topic. While, in some countries, this is a common practice and not much frowned upon, but, in certain countries, it is still a taboo subject and in some even illegal! The good thing is couples who love each other, but want to be sure of their compatibility with each other, can try staying together for some time before tying the knot. This certainly reduces the number of failed marriages and the after-effects of divorce affecting children and other children. But the convenience and not love draws two people together for such an arrangement, it really gives a bad name to the whole concept.
• Means of communication – There is some good news for people who are not very good at expressing their feelings for others. Modern love has led to the birth of many modern ways of communicating with your loved ones. Where your own thoughts and words fail you, usage of some popular love quotes or short poems can certainly help you a lot. Just subscribe to SMS plans that include these, or take inspiration from the various online social networking sites, and you will never have to be at loss for words ever again. You also need not be present in person to make your declarations of love. If you are shy or are unable to meet the love of your life, just send them a quick text message, a ping or chat on any popular free chatting service like Whatsapp or Viber, send emails or make video calls using services like Skype or Airtel video calling.

The language of love may have changed. Even teens are proud to “be in a relationship.” But it is heart-warming to see that love has not lost the battle to hate and greed, and it has, in fact, adapted to the change in times, communication and general nature of people.
