Netflix has a new movie coming out where a family gets trapped inside their own house for four years. They can’t get out, the windows repair themselves if they break them, and all I could think about was how are they going to have enough food 😂 I’d be worried about that before anything else.
Just a little health lesson since people are arguing "cancers not contagious tho"...Cancer itself isn't contagious, but STIs/ STDs are. Some, like HPV, can go undetected and, if left untreated, can lead to cancers like cervical, vulvar, and anal cancer... which is the THREE what she was diagnosed with. So yes, cheating can put someone's health at risk without their knowledge or consent.
your SPOUSE is the one who’ll sit beside you when your PARENTS DIE. who’ll hold your hand through CHILDBIRTH. who might have to BATHE YOU if you’re ever too sick to stand. this isn’t just about BUTTERFLIES or DATE NIGHTS. it’s about choosing someone who SHOWS UP... in GRIEF, in MESS, in UNCERTAINTY. so no, LOVE ALONE isn’t enough. COMMITMENT, MATURITY, and the ability to ENDURE life’s ugly parts... that’s what sustains a MARRIAGE. because when life gets PAINFULLY REAL, ROMANCE won’t carry you... CHARACTER will. and the truth is, FOREVER is only possible with someone who knows how to STAY when it’s HARD TO LOVE
I think every woman hits that season where she’s not angry anymore, just aware. You see people clearly. You see yourself and actions even more clearer. You move differently. You don’t explain… you just SHIFT. That’s maturity mixed with grace 🤍
the difficulty in buying flowers is not in buying her flowers. it's keeping her in mind. it's having a part of your brain always on and devoted to her small joys and comfort. this is why if you have to ask for flowers it entirely defeats the purpose.
this is also why "look it's us" works so well, it's code for "you are so cherished and precious that everything reminds me of you."
this is a woman who knows she won't get yelled at for closing his laptop, won't be scolded for interrupting him, won't be ignored, her emotions are prioritized, she feels safe, cared for, loved, and he's treated her like this since the beginning
it takes two to have this. you don't just "marry" a romantic woman, you show her how much you love her every single day and this dynamic will last forever. otherwise you lose her
