Eternal love is a beacon that always shines above the storm.

Does eternal love exist in earthly life, regardless of religious belief? Something so strong and authentic that it lasts forever? Faced with constant separations, couples breaking up, marriages falling apart and diminishing in the process, one might respond: no, unfortunately love is never eternalAnd yet, with the confirmation of many stories (some of which we tell on this site), what William Shakespeare wrote seems right: Love is a beacon that is always fixed and lit, that overcomes life's difficulties and endures. Without wasting its vital energy., but taking on new appearances, which make him immortal.

• ComplicityPassion fades, it's inevitable, just like the heartbeat that makes you emotional when you see the person you love and think you love. In eternal love, however, a deep complicity consolidates, like a rock,also encouraged by the commitment to adapt to each other's needsA tiring effort, but less than it might seem: with a minimum of commitment and a lot of lightness Complicity becomes a habit, a couple's lifestyle.
• Mutual empathyWhen a love consolidates, after having passed through storms and tempests over time, then there is the magic of anatural empathyThe ability to understand others, with their emotions, feelings, and weaknesses, becomes spontaneous, almost automatic.
• HasteHere another fundamental element comes into play to reach the goal of eternal love: ability to listen. When you are thoughtful, in the long run, means that we have learned to pay attention, care and sensitivity: all things that cannot be separated from listening.
• Taking care of each otherKnowing and understanding the needs and wants of those we love is a daily exercise, and as we age, we may not always have the desire to do so. Quite the opposite. Mature age and then seniority lead to an increase in the share of one's selfishness, if only out of survival instinct, and then taking care of the other person is a very high point of eternal love.
• SolicitudeSometimes it's not enough to be present, an essential element of love, whether brief or eternal, but it needs to be done at the right times. With diligence, with promptness, and without slipping into the temptation of procrastination.
