When I was in High School I had a wonderful Psychology teacher who everyday posed a question that we had to do journal writing on. With all the talk about lost loves, it reminded me of this question.

If you had your choice between a marriage that was extremely passionate yet very volatile(terrible fighting), or a marriage that was peaceful and calm, yet lacked passion, which would you choose?

I remember answering this back then and said that I would choose one that was peaceful and calm, and again, if it were only one or the other, I would still make that choice.
Gives you somthing to think about.

Peaceful and calm. I could forge up some passion but you can't always get rid of the anger.

I wouldn't be happy in a relationship that included fighting. I am in a peaceful and calm marriage and would choose it again (although extreme passion would be nice for a day)

This is my choice in my relationships:

peaceful and calm, yet lacked passion

My BF is very calm which counteracts my hyperness.

I have been in both (with the same man). We used to fight like cats and dogs but the making-up was great. Now we have lost a lot of the passion but have the best relationship. Dh is my best friend. I can tell him anything and he will not judge me. We still have passion but not like it used to be. I would chose what we have now over all the fighting.

peaceful and calm (I was raised in a home with fighting, I hated it and will not have my child in that environment)

Definitely peaceful and calm. I hate fighting with my DH.

I have been married twice and I can honestly say without a shadow of a doubt, that I choose peaceful and calm anyday!

Hub #1. . we had the most passionate relationship, but and that is a big but, when we fought, we fought like hell! It was pure hell. Not knowing from one day to the next which I would get, passion or hell.

Hub #2 . . complete opposite. Very relaxed, calm and doesn't like to argue, much less fight .

Love is love, Violence is not! I am speaking from experience.

Peaceful and calm between DH and I and we are very happy... not extremely passionate.

We now have a pre-teen in the house. Things aren't so peaceful and calm with him. The hormones are RAGING.

I'd rather have 5mn of passion with my dh than a lifetime in a marriage that lacked passion...

thank god ,I have a very passionate,loving and peaceful marriage.....
