For couples eager to give up and throw in the towel because not everything is "perfect" in the relationship... here's some profound food for thought:
Lifelong commitment is not what most think it is. It's not about waking up every morning to make coffee and drink it together. It's not always getting hugs in bed until you both fall asleep. It is not a clean house, full of laughter and love every day. Definitely not a sweet candy bar commercial.
πIt is to disagree until hearts are healed and forgiven.
π It's coming home and finding the same person every day, but someone who cares about you despite and because of who you are. πIt's laughing at stupid things they do, even unintentionally.
πIt's having dirty clothes. It's helping each other with the hard work of life.
πIt's learning to swallow annoying words instead of saying them out loud.
π It's making the easiest meal you can (or ordering delivery) and sitting together for a late meal because you both had a crazy day.
πIt's when you have an emotional crisis and your partner sleeps with you, holds you and tells you that everything is going to be okay. And you believe him.
πIt's about continuing to love someone despite life's flaws and difficulties.
Loving someone is not always easy. But it's amazing and comforting, and it's one of the best things you'll ever experience in life.ππ½π
