Celebrating 20 years of marriage was a significant milestone for me. As my anniversary date was approaching I was reminiscent of every moment, every day, each year of our relationship that I could think of, I made it a point to sit and have that alone time to think back to when it all started up to date and how it’s going now. Looking back I can honestly say through all of the ups and downs, the many times I’ve questioned if our relationship would last and I would ask myself “can you see yourself living without him” and each and every time my answer was unequivocally NO!
I don’t think there is any right or wrong answers when someone asks you, “what do you think it takes to make a relationship work” I believe the question is unique to your relationship. For some, breach in trust is a deal breaker, for others they rely on superficial reasoning to stay in a relationship. Whatever works for you and it makes you happy then I say keep at it but if you are not truly content in your relationship then you might want to have that hard talk with your partner and manifest a plan of action to see if you can get to your happy place together, (just my advice)!
Through ups and downs in life there is one thing that won’t ever change and that is we are born to die, we are here for a limited time and the older I get I realize how precious time really is, and some of the things I took for granted when I was younger I hold at much greater value. I hope that anyone that is in a relationship is getting what they truly want and need from it and if you enjoy the single life, well that’s great too as long as at the end of the day you are not regretting the latter.
Be Blessed,
T.
