Well, it went something like this, I can't find the story again...
A friend of a friend (and now this is 'random person's online's friend of a friend'), had recently gotten married around age thirty after about two years of courting (dating). Just a few months into their marriage they went to a fair/carnival type place. Boy I bet they regret that decision (I personally love these; my city has done one every year expect for lasteryears ago for whatever reason).
Well, somehow the husband ended up falling out (I can already think of more than fifteen ways this coulda happened...). He ended up going to the hospital and became a quadriplegic.
Now, this is the cool part. They were in what this lady called 'true love' (everyone's definition of true love is different but I believe that this is a pretty good definition of true love). The guy's wife changes his diapers and everything whenever it's needed. Remember, they're in their thirties. That's a ton of diapers. Along with the fact that they can't do things that 'normal couples do'.
So...for anyone asking if they are really in love, you should simply ask yourself this question: Would you be willing to change your spouses diaper forever if they lost function of most of their body just a few months after marriage?
It's a tough question...but do know that you can get over it (I learned that with my grandpa)...well, you can get over the changing the diaper part pretty easy, the smell is hard to get used to (all you with kids know what I'm talking about (yup, I can say I've changed all my nephews diapers...)).
By the way...here is a FANTASTIC song by Parachute called 'Forever And Always' off their album 'The Way It Was'...
