Morgan's Question

Morgan asked me if people who are in love ever think about somebody else - do their hearts have room to love somebody else? If you have a crush on somebody else while you are in love, does that mean you aren't really in love?

Do married couples only have hearts for each other? Do they not ever have the slightest infatuation for someone else who is attractive and available?

What do you think?

  • I guess you're gonna hear different answers from different people. Some people are more dedicated to their spouses than others.

    One thing for sure: "Modern" relationships are very fragile.

    Well, it's certainly true that there are many kinds of love. And I would say that it is unusual NOT to have feelings or to be attracted to another at some point in a relationship. In my book, it doesn't in and of itself diminish your commitment to someone, but more likely is a barometer for where that relationship has evolved at the moment.

    In our society, we generally hold monogamy and commitment as a virtues. Are these virtue that makes sense to an entire society? This has to be a personal choice, and one that often evolves over time. Someone recently told me recently that relationships "evolve" continuously. I believe there is wisdom in that observation.
