We don't appreciate a good thing when it comes to us. What? Did you think the guys and girls who are in their 30's or 40's are single because they just haven't met the right person? Hmmm no. It's because they did meet the right person but let it go. They didn't appreciate it. Or someone who leave their family just because they think they meet a new love and new life.....They didn't appreciate the goodness, the kindness, the simplicity. They wanted the challenge, the tug of war...they didn't realize how blessed they were. Instead they had the attitude of 'eh, if not this one, then the next.' Wake up people! You're not shopping for a can of tuna!!! We have to learn to appreciate good people when GOD puts them in front of us!
Expectations: we have unrealistic expectations of each other. I don't know where it comes from...maybe it's hollywood??? The movies??? Or it could just be that we look around us to what others are doing/getting and keep setting the bar higher and higher. What we should expect and pray for is to be with someone who will unconditionally love us, support us, and grow with us.
Fantasy: every relationship takes work and effort. That's the beauty of it. Who wants to live a stagnant life? It's ok to struggle! It's ok to go through difficult times together! It's ok to even financially struggle together. Why? B/c at the end of the day, at the end of the journey, you'll look over and see this person who stuck with you through it all, holding your hand. Be happy!
