The different ways different generations handle male-female relationship

Love is sunshine, showing up in darkness Love is water, saving lives in drought Love is air, existing everywhere

Love is hope, giving people encouragement But what is love? Who can tell me?

When it comes to love, different generations have different concepts. My grandparents may believe that love is life in which women just attach to men. My parents probably think love is just like a variety of dishes which needs tasted by oneself. As for me, love is a special feel that is beyond description. My family obviously reflects three different attitudes to love.

In the era of constraints and respect, people`s notions were conventional. Girls always stayed at home and waited for parent`s arrangement, before which they were not allowed to chat with boys. Then the lady just married to totally unknown person to live a whole life. Maybe there is no love between them. It was just a kind of

company habit that made them lived together harmoniously. They didn`t know the true meaning of love.

After carrying out the reform and opening-up policy, people could select their own lover more freely. Less restraints and more communication with opposite sex made them more open to love. In my opinion, my parents are the most typical example of love. They met on the bus, my father fell in love with my mother at first sight. Then here am I. They went through trials and tribulations just for love. They are lucky and happy.

At the present times, more people pursue passion, acquiring and material life, in stead of the sharing and closeness. People pay less attention to the feeling between them which is the essence of love.

In my opinion, this is love: I love you not because who are you, but because who I am when I am with you.
