For the couples contemplating calling it quits and throw in the towel on your relationships, because everything isn’t “perfect”, here is some food for thought.
Lifelong commitment is not what most people think it is.
It's not waking up to breakfast in bed together.
It's not always about cuddling in bed until both of you fall asleep, peacefully, at night.
It's not a clean home filled with laughter and lo******ng, everyday.
It's someone who steals all the covers (and snores!).
It's slammed doors and a few harsh words at times.
It’s stubbornly disagreeing and giving each other the silent treatment until your hearts heal and, then...FORGIVENESS! It’s coming home to the same person everyday, that you know LOVES and CARES about you, in spite of (and because of) who you are.
It's laughing about the one time you accidentally did something stupid.
It's about disagreements, WITHOUT finger pointing.
It's about helping each other with the hard decisions of life!
It's about swallowing the nagging words instead of saying them out loud.
It's about eating the easiest meal you can make just so you can sit down together at a late hour to eat together because you both had a crazy day.
It's when you have an emotional breakdown and your partner lays with you and holds you, and tells you everything is going to be okay and you BELIEVE them.
It's about still loving someone even though, sometimes, they make you absolutely insane.
Loving someone is not easy;
sometimes it's extremely hard,
but it's amazing and comforting and one of the BEST things you'll ever experience which few ever get a single opportunity to experience!
Be loving. Be patient. Be kind.
