It can be easy to get stuck in the day-to-day cycle of juggling adult responsibilities – raising kids, running errands, cooking, cleaning, working, etc. And when you are so busy, the last thing on your mind is love quotes for your wife, or trying to reignite some romance with your husband!
Which is why it is so important to take the time to remember that romance exists. Reading through these love quotes made me remember just how much I love my husband, and how lucky I am to have him in my life! They reminded me of the overwhelming passion that ignites in the beginning of a relationship. And more importantly, it reminded me that that passion is still there (maybe just buried under a pile of mental laundry).

Short Love Paragraph:
“Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don’t blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being ‘in love’, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.”
― Louis de Bernières, Captain Corelli’s Mandolin
Short Love Paragraph:
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.“
― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves
