Have you ever seen a love so genuine that it makes you want to barf? Or question what their relationship is really like behind the perfectly posed Instagram pictures and Facebook posts? What are they hiding? What are they trying to cover up?

Let's not think so much about the bad that could potentially be behind the scenes, but more, what are they hiding about the good? What do they seem to have that makes it so easy? What do they have that holds them together so well?

Here's the secret: they have love. They have true, and genuine love. The ingredients are simple, yet, so crucial. Listen closely, because they will come in handy one day.

Mutual Contact. These relationships are willing and ready to talk to each other. About hard things. About their pain. About their joy. About their past. About their plans for the future. They are mutually concerned about the other, because they want to know each other better.

Mutual Concern. These relationships have conversation that is below the surface. They give each other more than a superficial answer to avoid conversation. They are ready to help, listen, pray for, forgive, and feel each others burdens as if they were their own. Because they both will need help from one another as they go through the best and worst times of their lives.

Mutual Contribution. They need each other. They need each other to function because they belong to each other. They equally work hard to make their relationship stable, not for themselves, but for the happiness of the other.

This love is a love that is hard working. It is a love that will do whatever, and I mean absolutely whatever it takes to make their relationship work. It means having hard nights, full of tears, heart ache, and pain. But with those nights will come mornings of "I love you's", "I'm sorry's", and "I forgive you's". It means one person having to sacrifice their own pride and joy, so that the other will feel more loved and cared for.

So, when you see that type of love walking down the street, or see their pictures on Instagram, don't question what their problem is. Take it in, and know that there might actually be something very beautiful going on behind the scenes.

It is a whole lot of love, dedication, and determination.
