50 Things Everyone Deserve to Have In a Relationship

26

You don’t have to seek perfection. There will be compromises. Love shouldn’t be one of them.

I’ve been blessed in my life to have had great relationships. I’ve also had some…let’s say….less than great relationships. It’s these not-so-good ones that have made being in love that much sweeter, and more appreciative of my husband. Sometimes in life we can’t get a clear picture of what we want until we first experience what we don’t want. This doesn’t mean that you need to seek perfection in a relationship. That will only leave you baffled and frustrated. But I do believe that while in life we may need to settle for certain things, love should not be one of them.

In life, you will find that you have to settle for many things, love should never be one of them.
