I kind of feel sad for people who spout the old worn out mantra that beauty fades. If you love someone, you’ll always see the initial beauty you saw in them. Whether it’s in their eyes, the way they smile, the way they carry themselves, or even the look in their eyes that you send back, you’ll still see the original beauty.

If you don’t, I’m not convinced you were ever fully enchanted by them. And if not, why did you ever sign on?

This isn’t to say they can’t destroy that connection, if they go off the deep end. If they remain a true loyal devoted partner with you, it just doesn’t have to end.

Relationships are more than just two people. They are places, certain times, and all the wonderful things you have shared together. No one else will know those moments better than you two. If something should happen to break you up, you’ve just erased all the pleasant memories from decades of your life.

All those places where you used to go and share laughs, kisses, and special looks, will become no more than a familiar place missing the true spark that made it what it used to be. They will become haunted...

If there are children involved, you are stealing from them. They will never be able to fully appreciate the beauty of the moments before the split. Nice work.

If you love someone, go all in. Don’t hold back. determine that you will never let that person go. Work to keep them. Be willing to go that extra mile. Be willing to fight for them if they start to fail or stray. Convince them of how much they mean to you. Nothing says I don’t give a darn about you, as well as the idea you don’t care if they go or not.

Look folks, not every relationship is going to turn into the wonderful future you thought it would be. There can be major setbacks, and a hard life for the two of you. That in and of itself can actually be a shared experience that endears you to each other.

If you have troubles, think of the hardship, and the beauty if the two of you can get through it, learn from it, and grow even closer together.

Life is what you make of it. You will decide to be happy, positive, and a contributing partner that brings new life to the relationship, or you will decide to be unhappy, negative, and suck the life blood out of everything you touch.

In life, it’s more up to you than you think.

If two people love each other and decide to be happy, they will always be happy.

Can all relationships be saved? No. There are times when you’ll have to say good-bye.

Don’t let it be you, that causes this rift in the universe.

Your entire post is the best of the thread. I hope people will read it several times and heed your wisdom.
