Love can be easy, right?
It doesn’t have to be a big fight or disagreement every week or couple of weeks, right?

A relationship where we get along for longer periods of time, and like each other’s families is possible, right?

Romantic love is beautiful.. when it's just the 2 love birds. But things get exponentially complicated when we have to "like" each other's family. And disagreements will always happen between love birds; since 1 person is typically the dominant one in a relationship things shouldn't get out of control if the dominant one is fair and not abusive in any form. But, when both of the love birds want to be the dominant one then peace will be rare and resentment will grow, especially in the one that tends to be the "emotional" one. But love can conquer all; it has for me for more than 10 years now and my love bird is emotional and wants to be dominant, even though she knows I'm not a "yes" man. Best of luck.
Why do we have so much faith in love, something we cannot prove exists, something we cannot hold, sell or buy; something no scientist anywhere in the world will find in our autopsy next to our last meal or the disease that ravaged us, a force so powerful we are willing to die for it... or for lack of it.
Courtesy notice: the following includes a reference to a book that contains writings over 2000 years old which are mostly parables about human nature, both vile human nature as well as moral human nature, parables that are meant to teach us to learn and grow. No religion required, and better yet: no public displays of devotion required. Some bullies will label this "trolling", so "change the channel" now if of no interest to you.
John 4:8 ESV
Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
ReplyI think love is respect. Is knowing each others flaws and accepting them. It's listening to the other. And although there may be times where you fight, it isn't constant nor part of your routine. I think having that kind of relationship is possible. I hope you find it soon.
ReplyI think you compability depends on HOW you fight, not how OFTEN you fight. Having a disagreement every week seems normal at a certain stage of the relationship; it's totally fine to have different opinions and views. The two of you are independent individuals, after all. Things only take an unhealthy turn if the fights become destructive; if at least one partner stops listening and starts putting the other one down just for the sake of being right. If fights escalate and arguments become personal and hurtful, if somebody doesn't feel loved and respected during the fight, then no, love shouldn't feel that way.
