relationships..

Nov 25, 2008 21:06

It is interesting how relationships are actual work
When I was young I never thought they took any work
I would look at my parent’s relationship and I thought it just was
The same as their love for me and mine for them was never wavering
I never actually realized until now that it takes work to make a good relationship
And to continue to be a good relationship
It is one of those “adult” things I have sadly only recently come to realize
It takes time and effort and real commitment and understanding that you want the same things
I never really understood how fundamentally important wanting the same things is to the productivity of your relationship
I asked my mother last summer how her and my father stayed together
And she said we just worked on it and changed together as a couple.
Wise advice no less.
I hope some day I can say those same words to my children
That and “your partner doesn’t need to know everything”...god love my grandmother
