Rules of Love

You follow all the rules of LOVE hoping they work, hoping one sticks, makes a difference:

1. Love him/her;

2. Love him/her unconditionally;

3. Show him/her you love him/her that this here is real love not affection disguised as love;

4. Make him/her your King/Queen;

5. Be submissive to him/her;

6. Say Yes even when you mean to say No (this is the hard one for me);

7. Give him/her everything he/she asks when they ask without argument;

8. Make him/her the King/Queen to your King/Queen (repetitive I know but so is this advice when rendered);

9. Support him/her;

10. Support him/her always (at this point you're wondering isn't that what the King/Queen was trying to get at. OK);

11. Make him/her feel as if he is the King/Queen of your life...still working on that Royalty theme I see, (Stay with me);

12. Don't get angry when he/she offends you (really?);

13. Even if he/she does...still profess that he/she is the (what?) King/Queen; and

14. By all means, never ever nag.

You follow all these rules...you relentlessly follow all these rules...so much you even write them down so you can refer to them when confused by his/her action, you follow the rules, some more ridiculous than others...you follow the rules...yet, love...oh this love, still so evasive.

What rules do you follow? What rules do you know work?
