hi guys...... i went to the library kanina because we have to research for our FILI123.........
i found this interesting story of two couples............

********************
Rhona and Jon first met on the school campus. While comparing notes, both realized they came to this particular university with one burning intention: to study and fulfill a career dream.
However, when they saw each other, it seems as though the whole sky lighted up in a romantic fullness. Their glands infused their cardiovascular system with adrenalin and charged every nerve with 200 volts. of electricity!What a great feeling!
From that time on they wanted to be together 24 hours a day- to go together the longest way anywhere and take walks even in the rain. Talk,talk,talk,Munch and cuddle,munch and cuddle! all choked up just thinking about each other. "This is it!We've found perfect love!" was their exhilarating declaration. And at this point the subject of marriage arose.
Despite their parents' counsel and tears, the two teenagers got married-for how could each live without the other?
Somehow, they made it through their first year- until they got up one day dissapointed, confused,and hurting each other deeply with harsh words. Then the world started to splinter and disintegrate before their eyes.
HOw did ithe relationship which began with admiration turn up so quickly into harted? Why didn't it last? How did such "happiness" blow up in an unpleasant surprise?
Emotions are unleashed when a young man is visually attracted to a young lady, but they do not constitute love. Thy're the temporary feelings spotlighting on the person experiencing them which make him think he is in love. The truth is, he hasn't fallen in love with a person. He has fallen in love with love, and we call that INFATUATION- a foolish or all-absorbing, unreasoning passion. The exhilaration brought on by this unreal, silly, and illusory feeling is NEVER a permanent condition.
DIscouragement and disillusionment quickly follows its wake.
How can one tell whether he is in love or infatuated, since strange emotions are common in both love and infatuation,although they're more common in the latter?
Differentiating between the two can be tricky and isn't really easy.
How does love start anyway?
Really, how can you know what you're feeling? And what do you do if you find you're infatuated?
