10 Things You Need To Accept If You Want A Happy Relationship
They say “love is all you need.” But, is it really?
All you need is love. Love is the answer. Love is all you need. Love makes the world go ’round. But does it, really?
Love is an incredibly important part of any relationship, whether it be family, friends, or significant others. Love is seen as the cornerstone, the very binding fiber that brings and keeps people together. But what if I told you…it doesn’t really work that way?
I used to hear people say things like “I love them even on days that I don’t like them” and had a hard time wrapping my head around the concept as I was younger. Today though, I can appreciate the love one may have for a family member, significant other, or even a pet, who may bring aggravation at times but you would still do anything for them.
I think that when it comes to relationships, we put a lot of weight on love. So much weight, that it is very difficult to tip the scale in the other direction. People seem to need mountains disappointment, arguments, or incompatibility to stop making the excuse of “but, he/she loves me.” For this reason, they tend to ignore a lot of the bad things because they still have that one good thing.
