Since both of us are single, my friend Audrey and I often talk about love and relationships. Audrey is French and believes in the coup de foudre<\/em>\u2013love comes like a \u201cstrike of lightning.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a sensible, pragmatic American. I don\u2019t think love at first sight is necessary, or even always a good predictor of how a relationship will turn out in the long run. Similar goals, matching values, those are more important.<\/p>\n

This debate usually starts when I suggest she give online dating a chance. How can there be a coup de foudre<\/em>, Audrey wonders, online?<\/p>\n

Recently, I gained some insight on this debate from one of our readers. He sent me a story with a familiar Mysterious Ways<\/em> scenario\u2013after finding out about the death of a good female friend, he went to a beach they often visited, praying for a sign from God that his friend was in heaven. Of course, he stumbled upon just the sign he was looking for, something that only he and his friend would have understood.<\/p>\n

Yet, I sensed that wasn\u2019t all there was to this reader\u2019s story. I saw through the use of the word \u201cfriend\u201d\u2013clearly the relationship was more than that. I made a phone call.<\/p>\n

For over an hour, our reader told me about a relationship of ups and downs that spanned nearly a decade. He met his \u201cfriend\u201d online\u2013and in fact they did just start out as just friends.<\/p>\n

There was an instant connection, but not a romantic one. It took two years before they started dating, and a couple of years after that, they married. Then after another few years, they divorced. They clearly cared for each other, but they wanted different things.<\/p>\n

He moved out, but found a place on the same block. They still attended church together. They both became sick with cancer and supported each other throughout their treatments until our reader\u2019s ex-wife passed away. After her death, our reader dedicated himself to fulfilling one of her last wishes, tracking down the final resting place of an ancestor she\u2019d been searching for.<\/p>\n

Their story was complicated\u2013too many words to write here. It wasn\u2019t as simple as coup de foudre, and it didn\u2019t always make the most rational sense why they remained drawn to each other. But it was powerful all the same.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it felt as if their love was outside their control, as if some other force had a vested interest in keeping them linked together.<\/p>\n

While telling his story, he frequently was overcome with emotion, and my eyes were left with a manly misting when I hung up the phone. There was something special about the arrival of his story in my inbox, as if it came just when I needed a reminder that love transcends the ways we try to define it and pin it down. Often, it ends up defining us instead.<\/p>\n

I know just what I\u2019ll say, the next time I get into a debate with Audrey. Love isn\u2019t just a single strike of lightning, and it\u2019s not just a matching game. It\u2019s far more powerful, and eternal. A current that flows through two beings always, even when the ups and downs of life split them apart.\u200b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
