I love to ask older couples what their “secret” is to their relationship. I love that it normally comes with a beautiful story of how they met and how they’ve grown. I am going to start a running list of real quotes that answer this question from couples that I encounter. ❤️
- “Be with each other all the time. Do everything you can together. Why wouldn’t you want to be alongside your best friend?”
- “Respect is huge. Never call each other negative names. Never go to bed angry.”
- “Compromise. You have to push and pull in order for your relationship to work out. Without a little leeway from time to time, you’ll never last.”
- “Make time for each other. Life gets so busy. Make sure you talk every day, even if you have nothing to talk about!”
- “She’s always right.”
- “Choose to love each other every day. People nowadays become so comfortable in their relationship that they end up losing that person out of pure laziness. You have to date [her] every single day of your life.”
- “Communication and compromising. If you tell them what’s on your mind about something, you also have to discuss how to move forward with that little issue so that it doesn’t turn into a big problem. Some days will be harder for one person than the other, but those are the most important.”
