Consistency in love

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,
   I never writ, nor no man ever loved. -Shakespeare

Love alters not when alteration finds; love changes not when it has the opportunity. It stays true and constant, it does not bend or break, and it is not shaken or easily removed. 
 When you say “I do” to love, that “I do” should be consistent. I am not just talking about marriage: I am talking about a relationship in which we have made a commitment to love someone, support them and walk with them. Our love should be dependable, and our love should be consistent. Our love should not be one that runs in the face of adversity or difficulty. The one thing someone needs in the face of trial is consistency. People want and need to know that you will be you and your love will stay true even when or if they have done something to hurt you, or have found themselves in a bind.  Love alters not with his brief hour or weeks of time:  if you are in it to win it, then you are in it. Come what may, love stays, love finds away. This thing called "LOVE" is not for the faint hearted, or the selfish. It is for those who are selfless and understand the value in living- not just for themselves, but for others as well. Make a pledge to stick with people, make a pledge to work it, make a pledge to not play games with love. Giving it and taking it away from the one you have shared it with. Love is a powerful tool, that can either break or mend, restore or destroy. How you use it in your hands determines the fruit from it. It should not change at any opportunity, it should not be fickle or double minded, love is stable. People should be able to rest in your love, trust in your words and hold on to your confessions.
