Mature Love Quotes

“The idea that love is something magical, almost supernatural, in your heart, that has nothing to do with the day-to-day encounters with a real person--- that understanding of love has probably created more unhappiness and ruined more marriages than just about anything.

Love is what happens between people living their lives together, becoming close through contact and actual partnership and it's what survives through difficulties and imperfections. An idealized, imagined, faraway person in your heart---that's not love. That's a daydream.”
― Misha Glouberman, The Chairs Are Where the People Go: How to Live, Work, and Play in the City

"Let's be a comfortable couple, and take care of each other! And if we should get deaf, or lame, or blind, or bed-ridden, how glad we shall be that we have somebody we are fond of, always to talk to and sit with! Let's be a comfortable couple. Now do, my dear!”

“Together it was a life, and it might not be a perfect life, but she had built it and she thought: I cannot do this. All love eventually flamed out, didn't it? Was anything permanent? Wouldn't she find herself lying next to Owen and feel the same way she felt about Charlie? Oh yes, she thought, shat she had with Charlie might not be exciting, but there was something to be said for the quiet love of two people who had been together forever, the ease they shared, where she did not ever worry about him, where she took him for granted, not as that sounded, but in a positive sense, in the way you come to rely on the snow of winter and the heat of summer, on the solid warmth of a great meal.”
― Thomas Christopher Greene, I'll Never Be Long Gone

“Scorching heat radiates across the cheek of my ass from his open palm.
“Shit!” I cry out.
Another blistering sting connects with the other cheek.
“Watch your mouth!”
“I’m sorry Sir, but jeez – it hurts.”

― Lainie Suzanne, Soleil

― Robertson Tait, Forty-Love in Positano

“It is believed that marriage kills love. However, this is not a true statement. In the marital status, people begin to learn to express their love without romantic words, using mostly their body language, and this can be called mature love. Mature love requires not just romanticism, but a deep life experience.”
― Elmar Hussein

“Lantas, jika kita sibuk menerima tanpa mempertanyakan, menyetujui tanpa meragukan, mengharapkan tanpa mengusahakan, dan menyakini tanpa tahu apa yang kita yakini, apakah itu menjadikan kita berpikir? Apakah itu menjadikan kita ada?”
