How Do You Know?
A close family friend of mine asked the good ole question "how do you know when you've found the one" on his facebook as I was reading the responses he got, I found by far one of the most honest answers I've ever seen. Here it is...
"the one" is a concept created by society as a mechanism to be used as an out for getting out of a relationship. The divorce rate is high, relationships shatter on a daily basis because people have this idea that love is perfect and so...me perfect complement of a partner exists for them and only them. Truth is, love is what you make it and whom you make it with. When you meet that person you may feel something inside but that's just initial interest and attraction. Love must be built on a foundation of trust, mutual respect, and appreciation. No birds chirp, music doesn't play, and the heavens don't open up. You meet someone, you get to know the person and you fall in love. If that person is someone you want to build a life with, love, cherish and they make your heart sing...then that is the person for you. Its about finding a person you care about who you can fight with and fight for. A partner that you build a healthy and loving relationship with. There are a lot of folks out there waiting for "the one" and the one never shows up. Meanwhile, they miss the opportunities to have a meaningful relationship with a special person because they have some predetermined notion of what their "one" looks, talks, and acts like. Of course, that's just my opinion though.
x. Of course love isn't easy, which is why finding and keeping it isn't easy. No answer is right or wrong but this is definitely something to think about..
