Everyone is always talking about their relationship goals and for me, half of those seem a little foreign since I’ve been in a relationship for almost two years now. We were never really the couple that displayed a lot of PDA in public anyway. In the first months of course, there were endless amounts of texts, long late night phone calls, and little random presents but when you get past that cupcake phase things start to change for the relationship and hopefully for the better. When you move in together and start to see your other half ALL the time, you hardly want to hang on their every word. You may even feel like punching them in the face sometimes. It’s all a part of getting used to those changes. Love is all about making it through those days when you are so frustrated with your partner that you don’t even feel like talking to them but you make up because it’s become more of a commitment than a feeling. If a relationship isn’t work, I can promise you it won’t work out. It’s all about pulling through the rough times and still wanting that person in the end. The issue everyone has in today’s world of dating is that if one thing goes wrong they’re gone, expecting that a more perfect person will be out there for them. You wouldn’t do the same with a house. If a light bulb goes out, you don’t just move. You fix the lightbulb. It’s hard for people to understand when my fiancée and I have a fight, especially if it’s a bad one. They themselves wouldn’t be caught dead in the types of arguments that we have. That’s fine with me because at the end of the day we choose each other. When two imperfect people make the choice and commitment to love each other it’s a beautiful thing and when they keep making that choice day after day, it becomes a masterpiece. Love is a commitment not a feeling. When you're dating young, there's going to be plenty of times when you let each other down. There's going to be plenty of times when you don't feel like making it work. A couple that's meant to be will work through every obstacle life throws in front of them. The most important thing is to work through those obstacles together because letting others control your relationship is like watering a garden for a year or two only to pull up all the flowers because another person didn't think they were pretty enough.
