We all desire a love relationship that meets the expectations of our heart. With a natural human instinct we seek many attributes that define a perfect love. The end of a beautiful love story must always start with a beginning that may lack the resemblance of a beautiful fairy tale.
Sadly, when love becomes difficult we find it easier to throw in the towel, rather than to fix what is broken.
With no intentions on being the bearer of bad news, I am inclined to tell you that love without complexity is simply a dance between two people that will end once the music stops. Creating a healthy loving relationship is not for the faint of heart. Relationships with people you love will have the capability to disappoint, dishonor and even hurt you.
Here are 5 things to consider when you feel a difficult love relationship is worth fighting for.
1. Strength
Having strength will allow you to stand strong in the midst of difficulty. Strength is essential for any relationship to grow. Strength will allow you and your love to stand united, when situations and circumstances may be against you.
2. Time
Nothing shows the depth of a connection like time. Learning and accepting your partner requires a great deal of time. Time is the passageway to sustain a love that will last. Understand that it’s not where you begin but it’s the value of the time it takes to get where you are going.
3. Patience
We’ve all heard that patience is virtue, and this is definitely true when it comes to relationships. Having patience creates the endurance to go the extra mile.
Patience is the key to building a lasting loving relationship.
4. Understanding
Often times we become discouraged by those things that we just don’t understand. We spend so much time trying to figure out why things aren’t the way we hoped and imagined. Instead, focus on having an open mind and heart that is filled with understanding.
5. Love
The most powerful gift on earth is the ability to love. When you are able to love without expectations, and conditions it creates a space for love to just exist. Love is the antidote that heals and relieves all disappointments and fear. Love the one you love through the difficult times and it will lead them to love you in return.
