Marriage is hard.
There will be seasons where you barely understand each other.
-Seasons where money is tight.
-A lot of stress and pressure
-Where intimacy drops and you barely touch each other.
-Where you have arguments every now and then
The couples who make it are not the ones who never struggle. They are the ones who decide that giving up is not an option.
I wish people knew that not every disagreement means you're with the wrong person.
I wish people knew that love is more than a feeling. It's a decision.
I wish people knew that the butterflies they felt at the start won't last forever.
I wish people knew that not everything worth keeping feels good all the time.
I wish people knew that intimacy is built through time, patience, and the willingness to repair what gets broken.
I wish people knew that real love isn't just about finding the right person. It's about choosing the same person over and over again.
True intimacy isn't the absence of conflict. It’s the willingness to repair things after conflict happens.
There are no perfect husbands, wives or marriages, but if you keep believing in one another, keep fighting for a good marriage, keep forgiving one another, keep spending time together … and don’t give up … there will be plenty of perfect moments in your marriage.
I don’t want to close this chapter. I don’t want to turn the page on something that still has so much left to be written. I want to keep writing our story, to create something so deep, so real, so full of love that we never have to wonder if it was meant to be. I want to fight for us, not just when it’s easy, but when it’s hard, when it feels impossible, when the world is pulling us in different directions. I want to choose you, over and over, for the rest of my life. Because you are my home, my heart, my once-in-a-lifetime love.
A healthy relationship will test you more than a toxic one.
Because it won't let you run. It holds up a mirror and says: Show up. Communicate. Grow. Swallow the pride. It's a repeated choice to stay and work at it together. Even when it's hard and ugly.
That's why real love scares people so much in this generation.
your soulmate is someone who’s committed to working things out with you and don’t see breaking up as an option. they’re willing to have difficult conversations, always devoted to finding solutions that make the both of you feel secure, reassured and happy in your relationship.
"Marry someone you can suffer with."
I used to think this quote was so sad.
Now I understand it. Real love isn't candlelit dinners & flowers all the time. Marriage is built in the ordinary moments & the hard seasons. It's who holds you when you're drowning & builds you a boat.
Having no contact with the person you're still in love with, who, at one point in time, sent you texts that would make your heart melt. And now, you can only love them in silence from a distance, slowly being forced to close a chapter you never wanted to end. It feels like carrying the weight of unsaid words and unfulfilled dreams, as memories become your only companions. You replay those moments, knowing they'll never come back, yet clinging to them because letting go feels like losing a part of yourself.
Stop sending long paragraphs & messages explaining how you feel, just don't say anything. I've learned that it doesn't matter what you say, if they don't care they just don't. And nothing you say will change that. Keep your guard up. Don't waste your time & energy.
You can spend 2 years with the same person, adjust your your routine to fit theirs, get to a point where their mood affects your mood and they will wake up one day and say they don’t love you anymore and walk away from your life and There is nothing you can do about it
It's when you're hurting, confused, and emotionally exhausted, yet your heart still goes back to the same person without hesitation. No matter how many times you tell yourself to move on, how much distance you create, or how many tears you've cried because of them, your feelings never truly change.
Maybe that's what true love is, when someone becomes a part of your heart so deeply that even after the pain, the disappointment, and the sleepless nights, you still find yourself choosing them. Not because it's easy, but because your heart never learned how to love anyone else the same way.
Liverpool FC can confirm Arne Slot is to depart his role as head coach with immediate effect and that the process to appoint a successor is under way.
He leaves with a Premier League title to his name and our deepest gratitude and appreciation.
this here is the hardest thing to find, because we usually expect to be accepted, but are you willing to accept someone? someone with flaws? with mistakes? with pains?
maturity is realizing that love is companionship, and that goes way beyond the romantic.
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.
@FIFABrit@markgoldbridge Where is the ball contact? Stay mute like a good little boy because you have nothing to say and know he didn’t touch the ball and Arsenal got away with it.
