To love or not to love

Love is something some people look forward to in life. It makes a person happy and maybe makes them enjoy their life more than they did before they found love. But love also has a downside. In my mind you should attempt to avoid falling in love unless you are more than one hundred percent sure you and your partner feel the same about each other and will always feel the same way about each other no matter the circumstances. What love has come to now a days is the thought of being in love at first but after years of marriage and stress and added stress from children the love you both had at one point fades away and you become more of friends than lovers. The emotional stress of love is also not worth the price to pay. You feel you are deeply in love with a person but worst comes to worst and you find out that person doesn't feel one bit the same about you. Love is not what it is said to be and for what it seems like it always comes to a bad ending with one person being hurt more than the other.
