Love is NOT:
Always being happy
Never fighting
Agreeing on everything
Having all the same interests
Expecting one to live up to unrealistic idealisms
Always having the same vision
Not hurting one another
Never crying
Having the same friends
Love is:
Accepting and honoring the whole person
Freedom to grow
Wanting the best for everyone
Even if it goes against what you want
Supporting the path of another
Even when that path differs from your own
Working to help others get what they love
While getting what you love
And knowing when to walk away instead of standing in the way…
That’s love
I love this! If people in a relationship can just realize it’s give and take. Small little things makes love grow. I don’t believe in love at first site. Doesn’t last. I believe in “do you want to spend the rest of your life with me?” If the answer is yes both should start ‘working’ on their relationship. Most of all…DON’T RUN AWAY WHEN YOU FIGHT. Stay! Communicate. Even if it’s a while after you counted to 10. Worst mistake you can make is get in your car and come back the next morning. Talk it out even if you fight. Talk until both understand why the fighting starting in the first place. Show respect. Show you value your partners opinion. You don’t have to agree to value someone’s opinion. Never ever bring up past mistakes. That’s water under the bridge. And lastly but most important: Fight the problem, not the person.
