How do I love thee?

Sonnet 43 was my favorite out of the selected others. These sonnets show how much love Elizabeth Browning has for her husband. In the first line she states "How do i love thee? Let me count the ways." This is saying that she loves her husband for so many reasons and in so many ways. I feel like most couples today have lost that affection for their spouse after a short amount of time. However, Elizabeth Browning says she loves her husband with all of her soul and every day and night. I think that it is great how much love this shows that one person expresses towards another. She even says that she would still love him just as much when after he dies. I feel like couples today need to focus more on their love for each other and not let other obstacles get in the way of how they feel about each other. Love is a special thing and people need to cherish it instead of taking it for granted and Elizabeth Browning is definitely someone that does that.
