Forever in Love: A celebration of Love and Romance
The selections in FOREVER IN LOVE are a result of years collecting poems about love and marriage that touched me emotionally. When you say "I do," it is intended to be forever, and that's what we all want - a "forever" bond. Really, marriage is a perfect concept: Two individuals become partners, best friends and allies for the rest of their days. While our society tends to idealize the love-lust of a new relationship, it's the true love of a long-term, committed relationship that is the ultimate dream for most of us. I hope this book will help couples realize that even during difficult times love creates bonds that will strengthen them in ways beyond what they could have only imagined when first married. Within these pages, you'll find an inspiring blueprint of the richness yet to come.FOREVER IN LOVE follows the path from "The Attraction" to "Mature Love" and many stages in between. It's a book that will allow couples to reminisce about earlier years together and look forward to the days to come.My hope is that you will be moved, awed, and astonished by the kaleidoscope of feelings so eloquently expressed by the contributors of this book. The poets represented here have a fine gift for the interplay of words and emotions about the voyage through love and marriage.  -June Cotner
