While the promise of "till death do us part" may have seemed easy on our wedding day, keeping this promise alive and well as one travels down the bumpy road of life may not be as easy.
Think back on how you felt when you were dating versus how you felt on your wedding day versus how you feel now. If you say you felt the same on all three you are either a homeless romantic or the luckiest person on earth .
There is one extreme notion that says that true love happens once or twice a century and the rest of the time it is lust or boredom that pushes people together. This can be contrasted with the notion of finding ones true soulmate and living in happiness forever. The truth is probably somewhere in between.
As a couple gets to know themselves there will indeed be commonality and difference. - The commonality is easy however in regards to the differences there will be pressure to compromise and make things work..
For some this compromise will be workable however for others it seem impossible and they may begin to loose fundamental aspects of our own needs and wants. - Throw in some kids and you may have the perfect psychological storm.
Life is hard, relationships are hard, and the result is while things may seem easy at first , for many of us despite all of the benefit they provide , relationships may become overwhelming at times.
We all know that relationships need work, the question is how much work is too much work.
