When you are ready to settle down

They were actually very truthful in a way that only a funny video can be. Thanks for sharing :)
 
What I liked the most about this one is that they say we need to move away from the childish idea that love is about being loved, and into the other side of the equation of actively taking care of other; a more mature version of romance.

I'm often reminded of a scene in one of the Avengers movies in which the Scarlett Johanson character is asked by a villain if she is in love with one of her comrades, and she replies "love is for children". Although the movie isn't deep and it doesn't expand, that phrase made an impression on me because I took it is a reminder of how much our ideas of romance are "childish", and 'love' as expressed by a hero is about taking care of others (though in the movie I think she calls it 'honor').

Anyway, I too like those videos. Thanks Luke.

Yeah, very interesting videos, thanks Luke! As for love, and it possibly being "childish", it actually reminded what the C's once said. Can't remember when and how exactly, so I am paraphrasing. That a couple should treat and love each other innocently and openly, just like children, but with the responsibility of an adult.
 
Enjoyed that Luke, thanks for sharing. I certainly experienced perpetually apologising for being myself and grok the realistic scenario that relationships are more akin to administration. Nice.
 
Thanks very much for sharing Luke, I enjoyed the video. Have to admit, relationships have been a major struggle for me, and not just looking for being loved and acceptance is something I know I have to work on a lot.
 
Yeah, thanks for that Luke. It provides some insight on the self regardless of romantic relationship status. I'm not sure I'd want a partner to "put up with my faults", and I kind of have a bit of white-knight syndrome, so maybe I could be more on the giving side. But I also have trouble accepting love, I think because of a lack of self-love. But anyways, a romantic relationship is not a realistic consideration at this point for me.
 
Something else came to mind. That is, relationships are about discovering the self through another. It's work and your faults will be pointed out to you. And in the Work, you discover yourself, but through many others acting as mirrors. The romantic relationship may be closer in physical proximity, but the Work will have more eyes to see the self.
