Can Love Turn Into Lust?

By

Love turning into lust is like the dying of a beautiful plant, the fading of colours, the flickering of a once brilliant light. But how truly can Love become lust?

When in a relationship, one partner suddenly feels that the love euphoria initially experienced is lost, and that the only thing that binds them is just sexual activities; should it be concluded that their love had become lust?

First the question to be asked is, "was their love true? Was it based on right and genuine intention?
Could it have been that one partner simply savours the idea of being in love- a fantasized love; an infatuation? (This often happens in Ladies)
Couldn't it have been that they were initially both in lust?

At what point does one conclude that the love in the relationship is no longer there? Although, two people might love each other but not compatible for a marital relationship; that should not be a conclusion that love has become lust.

It is better to examine your relationship. Have a deep conversation about it with your partner if he or she is willing to listen, or go for counseling. For true love can never become lust.

Find in my previous post on love versus lust here, to guide you in identifying what you truly feel.

According to Judith Orloff M.D's book on intuitive healing she discussed the difference between lust and love: Pure lust is based solely on physical attraction and fantasy--it often dissipates when the "real person" surfaces. ...... However, real love, not based on idealization or projection, requires time to get to know each other. Here are some signs to watch for to differentiate pure lust from love. SIGNS OF LUST *You're totally focused on a person's looks and body. *You're interested in having sex, but not in having conversations. *You'd rather keep the relationship on a fantasy level, not discuss real feelings. *You want to leave soon after sex rather than cuddling or breakfast the next morning. *You are lovers, but not fr...

ANOTHER TOMORROW

CHAPTER ONE It's like waking up and finding myself in a dreamland. Dreamland or reality? Whatever this scene may seem, truth reflects in this: life is a journey. Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange, Violet, and I,    White were altogether that morning sitting by the pool which shimmered under the luminous sun. The reflection of hope was what we saw, smelt, and felt as we washed ourselves in the pool, and  joyfully refreshed to resume our travel.
