So, where do we find the definition of true love? ![]() I do think the “Impressive Clergyman" was closer to a definition of love than Ali McGraw. And wuv, tru wuv, will fowow you foweva.So tweasure your wuv.” Mawage, that bwessed awangment, that dweam wifin a dweam. Anyway, the “Impressive Clergyman" did a little better job in defining, “Love, true love,” than Ali McGraw did.īut he also pronounced it, or mispronounced it, “wuv, tru wuv.” The “Impressive Clergyman”, that’s what they dubbed him in the credits, at least I’m pretty sure that’s what they used. I will also admit that “Princess Bride” is one of my favorite movies of all time. Like Marshall, I hate what the world has done with word “love” and “making love” or “lovemaking.”īut I will admit that I have misused it as well. When I was first married to Nancy, I really had no understanding of love, true love. The Princess eventually realized that when he was saying "As you wish”, he meant, "I love you." ![]() Whatever she commanded he simply replied, “As you wish.” It was in the beginning of the story when nothing gave Princess Buttercup more pleasure than ordering her servant Westley around. But it wasn’t the time he said to his love interest, Princess Buttercup, “Death cannot stop true love. Westley, the hero in “Princess Bride, had a much better understanding of love, true love. I remember telling my kids I was sorry for different things as well. It lasted because I did say I was sorry…many times. Do you remember Ali McGraw saying, “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.” I got much of my sermon from that great love story, “The Princess Bride.” Bet you thought I was going to say, “Love Story,” but that had some of the worse advice about love. ![]() I realized I’ve written plenty about love over the years and even wrote a sermon about love - true love. ![]() I decided to shift gears and looked at some of the things I’ve written about love in “Reflections.” “That those four letters are overused and abused, however, does not alter what love is.” He later added, “‘Love’ has come to mean whatever anyone says it means - and to suggest otherwise is, of course, ‘unloving.’ Marshall Segal began saying, “Is it strangely possible that love is both pervasive and yet endangered in our day?” More Reflections: Looking at a weakness as a strength What a trip: The trip back from Emmaus as important as the trip there Recently I came upon an article in called “What Love Is Not - Four Ways We Avoid the Costs.”
