Love.
Real love is hard work. Married couples know this. Those that aren't married or have only been married for the better part of a year (aka: the honeymoon period) seem to think they know the secret behind everlasting love. I've seen articles written all over the place about this, and I hate that these articles make love sound like a "quick-fix" to your life.
"Just do this and you'll feel like your flying through rainbows on top of a Pegasus! Weeeeee!"
No.
The only people that understand the power of committed love are parents, grandparents, aunts & uncles, etc. that have been together for years and years.
So, what's the one constant I've heard from both of those parties in my life?
Answer: Hard work, an indomitable will, and compromise. Everything else is just a prolonged chemical reaction within the body.
If you find someone who feels the same way, then, hey look, you've found your soul-mate.
'Nuff said.
