Relationships

There's one thing I wish that everyone understood about relationships. They're not always butterflies and rainbows, perfect happy warm feelings and happily ever afters. They're work. People have it in their minds that its supposed to be so easy, that it just flows and maybe there might be rough patches but overall its perfect. Well relationships aren't perfect just like no one is perfect. How can imperfect components add up perfectly? Everyone used to ask me how I lasted in relationships so long... didn't I get bored and how did we make it work. We toughed it out that's how. We fought through the hard times to make it back to the better days. What people need to understand is that when you really truely love someone you fight for that person.
Love doesn't always make sense, so you get over you're logical conclusions and ur irrational insecurities and you fight for love. You're not supposed to just give up and quit when things get hard. Rough times test the relationship and when you simply throw in the towel you say that you're not in it for the long run. You're only around for when things are fun and easy. Relationships get hard, sometimes they even get pitch black but if it means enough to you, you stick around and tough it out because you know the good times are worth it, the person you love is worth it.

The best explanation of Love I know is from the Bible:
1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails..."
