Love.
Man, what an oft discussed chunk of our lives the ‘crazy little thing called love’ is. Songs about it pepper the airwaves, the visual media is filled with various takes on the subject and Hallmark devotes an entire network or 3 to the quest for and ultimate capture of this occasionally elusive emotional treasure. Blogs are rife with the stuff and there exists perhaps an equal amount of material exposing the darker side of adoration as well, with songs extolling the exquisite agony of unrequited love.
Yeah. Our lives are inundated with A Whole Lotta Love as the Led Zep song goes.
And yet it often remains a bit  of a puzzle as to who we fall in love with and why. Attraction, Friendship, Intimacy, Trust, Respect, etc. all play a part in this and yet it can be perplexing to figure out why That person? What is it about Them?
The cool thing is how it creates a mystery to be explored and enjoyed as the relationship grows over time. An ongoing evolution into what is hoped to be a deeper sense of awareness when it comes to that enigmatic thing we call Love. 
Here are those who recently signed on to spend their first Valentine’ Day as a committed couple.
Welcome to the ride.

“To keep your marriage brimming, 
with love in the wedding cup, 
whenever you're wrong, admit it; 
whenever you're right, shut up.” -Ogden Nash
