2. Love will always feel like gambling. Even though your intuition might be telling you that you’ve finally found your soulmate, there’s no surefire way to ever be absolutely positive, because the future is so uncertain.
3. It’s extremely pertinent that you purposefully choose to be with your partner each and every day instead of falling into the notion that you were “meant to be.” You aren’t simple characters in a movie determined by fate, you made a conscious decision to be with this person for a reason.
4. When frustration hits, it’s common to believe that avoiding your problems, turning off your emotions and fleeing from the situation is the proper method of dealing with it.
5. However, repressing your emotions and putting walls up against your partner is just as harmful to your relationship and to your significant other as fighting and bickering. It can even be worse.
6. It might feel unnatural to become so comfortable with your partner - becoming open with your natural appearance, worrying about sleep more than you worry about looking cute during it, or becoming comfortable with your bodily functions.
7. However, these situations are what allow the intimacy between the two of you to flourish. It’s important to think of your partner as the one person who knows your imperfections, true self and accepts and loves you for it along the way, despite your flaws.
8. Although the passion of being with somebody new can be intoxicating, it’s not realistic to believe that it can sustain itself long-term.
9. A true relationship that is meant to last might not be as exhilarating or stimulating as being with a new partner, but long-term relationships hold the likelihood of genuine happiness and satisfaction.
10. It’s inevitable for your partner to drive you insane sometimes - and not in an exciting, thrilling manner.
11. It’ll be more likely that this type of crazy makes you feel extremely annoyed and frustrated. But this is just part of the normal process of a long-term relationship.
12. Although physical attraction is an integral part of a relationship everyone ages. It’s more important to be attracted to their morals and personality traits from the beginning, leading to your partner becoming more attractive to you as the years pass.
13. No pairing of people in this world come without their own problems and disagreements. The couples that last the longest are the ones that communicate through these issues, despite how frustrating it can be.
14. It’s unrealistic to believe that you will always love every single thing about your partner. Some of their traits you’ll admire, and some you might loathe. It’s more important to appreciate them as a whole person, and avoid attempting to evolve them into a perfect partner that doesn’t truly exist.
15. It’s simple to fall in love when things are easy, but it’s hard to be in love when life becomes increasingly difficult. It’s important to remember that tough times can bring you closer together than smooth sailing can.
16. It’s natural to sometimes dislike your partner, even if your love for them is very deep.
17. It’s not realistic to believe that your partner can fulfill you completely. They will make you feel respected, wanted and whole. However, they cannot be, and won’t be, your sole purpose for living and they aren’t the answer to all of life’s problems.
18. Being in love with your significant other won’t always come without effort. It takes determination and hard work. This doesn’t mean your relationship is doomed, it’s just the reality of life.
