Embracing our imperfections

For couples so eager to call it quits💔 and throw in the towel on your relationships because everything isn’t “perfect”🤭... here is some food for thought🤔. Lifelong commitment is not what most people think it is😯. It's not waking up every morning to make breakfast and eat together🍳🥞🍽. It's not cuddling in bed until both of you fall asleep, peacefully, at night🛌. It's not a clean home filled with laughter and lovemaking, everyday💐. It's someone who steals all the covers (and snores!) 😳😴. It's slammed doors 🚪 and a few harsh words🤬🤬, at times. It’s stubbornly disagreeing 😡😠 and giving each other the silent treatment 😶 until your hearts heal💔💔...and, then...FORGIVENESS💙❤️! It’s coming home 🏠 to the same person💏, everyday, that you know LOVES💑 and CARES about you in spite of (and because of) who you are. It's laughing🤪🤪 about the one time you accidentally did something stupid😜. It's about dirty laundry😝 and unmade beds 🛏WITHOUT finger pointing👉🏾👈🏽. It's about helping each other with the hard work of life! 🤝 It's about swallowing the nagging words instead of saying them out loud🤮🤢. It's about eating the cheapest and easiest meal you can make and sitting down together at a late hour 🕛 to eat because you both had a crazy day 🙆🏻‍♀️🙆🏽‍♂️. It's when you have an emotional breakdown 🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏽‍♂️and your Love ❤️💙lays with you and holds you and tells you everything is going to be okay😍...and you BELIEVE them☺️☺️. It's about still loving someone even though, sometimes, they make you absolutely insane🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏽‍♂️. Loving someone is not easy🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏽‍♂️....sometimes it's extremely hard🙎🏽‍♂️🙎🏻‍♀️; but it's amazing and comforting and one of the BEST things you'll ever experience!💏

I am🙌🏼BLESSED🙌🏼 to have a wonderful partner.![20180615_163116.jpg
