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
In a relationship you can't just do what you want. you always have to think about how it will affect your partner. That's what this generation doesn't understand.
just APOLOGIZE to your partner when you know you messed up bruh… all that manipulative behavior and getting mad at them for being upset when they have a valid reason is just weird. people love to say they’re grown until it’s time to take accountability.
maturing is realizing you cannot get mad at your partner for expressing what upsets them.. even if it isn’t deep to you, it may be serious matter to them. genuine consideration is the key
never teach a man how to be your man. don't ask him for anything, not a date, not flowers, not clingy texts, not morning calls, not time, not affection. when a man truly wants you,he moves different on his own. life is too short to be waiting for someone to act right!!
ngl when someone does something for me, i immediately start thinking of what i could do to thank them in return. I'm so appreciative of consideration and acts of service.
