A Table for Two...

In my quest to stumble upon love and the "American Dream" of falling in love with my soul mate. I began to wonder if such a thing exist anymore? Are we capable of finding our soul mates or is my generation just settling and ruining the lives of each other through non-traditional relations?
As I watch people define their relationships with the opposite sex, I wonder how the idea of just having sex with the opposite sex became the norm and standard for a centralized relationship. I could not possibly base my relations with another male based on the sex game! What happened to simple courting, morals, values, impressing and etc? Spending quality time and exchanging terms of endearment to me is what provides the foundation of if I could possibly be with this person. I have to know if his values are in line with mines or if a male can respect my morals. Those things are what builds effective relationships long lasting relationships...(but that's another post).
The photo above inspired me to think and evaluate how I decide to give my love away.
I feel that in order to fall in love with someone truly is to have a table for two or room for only two...
Not for four...or six. But only two, the two of us to discuss our issues and problems alone, and not amongst a group that has influential input.
At a table for two there is two of everything defining each individual of partnership. Each person has their own utensils and it's up to the individual how they use it for the good of the relationship. Then there is one small candle in the middle that represents the central idea the two individuals share together. That candle represents the unity, passion and zeal the other expresses for one another while they sit in and converse with one another.

When I look at my parents who've been together since they were 19, provides an example that maturity and dedication to the other soul is key in a relationship. Not by having a baby together, or having sex everyday, they had to genuinely like one another in order to still be together today. Are we willing to do that now, or have we been blinded by the attempt to just settle for the cause without truly loving someone?
