Love, Lust, or.. Both?

Many people confuse love and lust, but they are actually very different. And yet they are also intertwined so much it's just about impossible to have one without the other in a successful relationship. They both work together to form a beautiful lasting bond. Without love, one would end their relationship at the first sign of trouble. It's not worth it for one to live through stress with no connection to the other. Without lust, one would be unable to satisfy a basic human desire and therefore be unhappy with their relationship. Here are a couple characteristics of each:

Lust:

• You're totally focused on their looks and body.
• You don't care about anything they have to say.
• You don't want to spend time with them outside of the bedroom.
• After you're finished, you look for the easiest way to leave. No cuddling, no breakfast the next morning, just "I gotta go."

Love:

• You make time for the person and include them in your plans.
• You get lost in your conversations, and the hours pass like minutes.
• You introduce them to others close to you and do your best to help them get along.
• And the biggest one to me: You see a future together.
