When it comes to matters of the heart,  every person will have a different viewpoint. People like to spew all sorts of cliches:

• “I knew he was ‘The One’ the moment I laid eyes on him, and you should get that feeling too”
• “Love is blind and doesn’t see color, religion, or money”
• “Love is easy, and if it’s too hard, then it’s not true love”

Just because one couple had a successful relationship after falling in love at first sight, or being a different race and believing in a different G-D, or never fighting, doesn’t mean that’s how it should be for you. In fact, those couples are the exception — not the rule. When it comes to matters of the heart, there’s only one cliche that counts: follow your heart.
