I am in a relationship and I have found out that love doesn't guarantee the success of a relationship.
Love cannot help you stick to one person, after all, cheating isn't always a product of not loving your partner. In fact, Loving someone doesn't guarantee not liking another person so much.
Relationships work out mostly because of our head not our heart, it's works out because of emotional maturity, empathetic intelligence and self discipline.
You see, time will come when you'll see more beautiful, handsome, intelligent, sexy, curvy and God fearing people than the one you're in a relationship with. In those times, LOVE will not help you, SELF CONTROL will help you, EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE will help you, COMMITMENT will help you.
No matter how you feel for someone else, you'll discover THE PERSON you're committed to ranks first in your life.
You think married people don't see better people than the ones they married?
You think they don't feel funny sometimes?
You think they don't catch feelings?
They do.
But understanding that commitment is greater than feelings. You can fall in love with anyone, but building a relationship takes absolutely more than what attracted you to them.
IT TAKES MORE THAN LOVE.
We are too fond of loving when it's convenient, when it's sweet. We are too fond of loving when love is there but that can only last for at most the first 2 years of the relationship.
After then, You'll realise that the feelings have dropped, It's now your responsibility to make it work, not love's responsibility. Building a relationship is hard work, it's like building a career, It's like pursuing a degree in Uniben (University of Benin).
It's always tough, it will sometimes be so bitter but you can make it work.
Everyone falls in love, it takes no effort to do that. But staying in love? Building a relationship? Only few do that. That's why we must find one person and commit to that one, Discipline yourself, bridle your emotions. Relationships cannot be readymade. You must build it and it's never always about love.
On the long run, in marriages, It's not love that keeps them together, but so much more.
In conclusion: The kind of love that attracts two people together is not the kind of love that will keep them together.
Be emotionally strong! Sticking to one person is not natural, You must develop yourself to do that.
