5 Things To Learn About Love From These 5 movies.
Usually, when you put on a movie, you’re looking for entertainment, a good story, or something to pass the time. However, movies are very apt at dispensing life lessons while being entertaining. Here are five things you can learn about relationships and love from these five movies.
Love is a process
Sometimes our own preoccupations or ideas of love can interfere with a potential solid relationship. A good relationship is a collection of many steps taken together and not just one, so don’t set your ideas of a relationship in stone. Allow yourself to step out of your comfort zone and experience something different.

Where true love exists, it is inevitable
The Italian poet Torquato Tasso once wrote, “True love cannot be found where it does not exist, nor can it be denied where it does.” True love will always fight for itself and inspire others to seek that kind of love. It might take months, years, or decades but it will stand the test of time.

Life goes on
The pain of losing someone you love is unbearable and it often feels as if it is the end of the world. And although the pain never really goes away, it is better to accept that you can enjoy your life without that person being in it. It may take time, but eventually, you must learn to live your life again.

Not all relationships are forever
Forever doesn’t necessarily mean a very long time in some relationships. Forever could mean months or a few years. Contrary to what fairy tales will have you believe, not all love is meant to last till death, some are just a stop on your road to somewhere else and that is fine too. Learn to let go when it is not working.

Happiness is what you make it
You can’t live by someone else’s idea of happiness otherwise you will never be happy. Shedding these preconceptions will allow you to be more open and as such be more curious and willing to experiment and explore. Your next great relationship could be knocking on your door, all you have to do is open it.
