Happily Ever After?

After searching and waiting for the one to come along, we think the hardest part of our life journey is over.

We believe relationships will breeze through, especially because the happily ever after’s displayed in movies and TV shows, happen when the princess in distress is saved by her prince charming, (or vice versa) and they fall in love, apparently, living HAPPILY ever after. The end.

Falling in love isn’t the end of the fairy tale; it’s merely the beginning.

We rarely get to see what happens after the happily ever after, aka the honeymoon stage, comes to an end.

Drained Hearts

It would be magical if two people could stay in their bubble, enjoying each other’s love, but with personality clashes, real-life issues, family and friends, past baggage, goals and dreams… it’s not always going to be peaches and cream.

Relationships aren’t easy. There’s going to be periods of time where hope seems lost and everything feels like absolute shit. So is love enough for the relationship to last through these moments? Will the relationship ever go back to where it was? The happily ever after place?

If you’re going through a rough patch with your significant other – fighting about the same things constantly, both emotionally drained, feeling disconnected from one another –

Is the damage done permanent?

It’s okay when one person stops caring. Well, actually, it is not okay. For lack of a better word, it sucks. Regardless, the relationship has a chance of making it when there’s one of you attempting to make it work.

However,the relationship is doomed if both of you lose hope, fall out of love, or simply give up on each other; that’s literally the end.

House of Cards

Nothing is permanent, unless you want it to be.

If you want your relationship to be that extraordinary love, experienced during your magical times together, first, you both need to remember why you love each other in the first place.

Then, do something about it.

You can’t just sit there, waiting for change to happen.

Love isn’t enough. Feelings of love mean nothing, without action.

You have to get up.

Get your brain to start thinking of ways to make this broken place whole again; the way it was; the way it was meant to be.

You fell in love with this person. You know their likes and dislikes, so only you can figure out how to get out of the black hole you’re in.
