With Love- Entry Four

Love. Is. Never. Enough. 
It doesn’t just fall into your lap… Okay, so maybe you just fall in love, but really it takes work to keep that love & passion burning. We’re raised with this romanticized idea that love is unicorns, sunshine, rainbows and fairytales… HELLO? No, my loves; it takes real dedication to make love work. The moment you decide to say to someone “I love you” (in the intimate context) you’ve made a conscious decision to hold their heart in your hand. And now, they hold yours.
Be careful. Understand the gravity of the situation. Love isn’t just a word. It’s an action, a state of mind, a promise to give yourself completely until the end of time. Choose carefully.
Love is supporting your partner. You both have dreams. Who better to share them with?
Love is comfort… sometimes just sitting silently and embracing each other during difficult times.
Love is accepting the darkest part of them. Nobody is perfect. And we cant expect every part of someone to change. Learn to accept them.
Love is compromise. Do things for each other you wouldn’t normally do. It’s okay.
Love is respect. Treating each other equally.
Love is romance. Fall in love everyday. Do the crazy foolish things you want to do, no matter how embarrassing.
Love is conversation, friendship. Sitting at the dinner table and laughing with each other over the things that made us crazy that day.
Love is trust. Have friends both mutual and separate it’s healthy to let her have a girls night or let him have a guys night.
Love is confidence. In each other and your relationship of course but having the confidence to build your partners, is so much more important.
I’ve made many mistakes but I’ll do whatever it takes to help you to never repeat them.
Someday, when I’m at your wedding I’ll know that these lessons will guarantee the longevity of your marriage. I’ll know that my children know love. It’s important to give what you receive… I give you love today, so you can gather it and one day give all that love you’ve stored, to a very important person. It’ll be beautiful and I’ll be proud as I am always proud.

Love, Me
