Do I Love You More, Less or the Same as When We First Met?
This is a deep question.
Having been married for 5.5 years, I know that I’m traveling toward a potentially huge argument based on how I answer this question. (Smile)

Well before I can honestly answer this question, I must remember my feelings when we first met so I have a benchmark to compare my feelings for Syreeta now.
So how did I feel about you when we first met?
Great question!
In the beginning, it was NEW… It was Exciting… There were Adventures…
And today, 7.5 years later, there are two children… diapers to be changed… waking up in the middle of the night.
So what do you think? Do I love you more, less or the same as when we first met?
To answer this question honestly, we must define LOVE. What is love?
In the Bible, in Corinthians Chapter 13, it states, “Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy. It does not boast. It is not easily irritated. It keeps no records of wrong doings.”
So what do you think? Do I love you more, less or the same as when we first met?
My answer is… I love you MORE now because marriage is the ultimate opportunity to be selfless rather than selfish, to be caring rather than confrontational, to be loving rather than unforgiving.
Truth be told, in the beginning of our relationship, it was so new, so exciting and so fresh that there was no real love because it’s true….. REAL love takes time.
On the outside, it’s easy to say, “Oh, how much fun we had when we were first dating.” But in our heart of hearts, we know that real love is experienced when we stick together while facing challenges or forgiving your partner when he or she made a HUGE mistake. That’s love!
