10. Have Fun
Never forget to enjoy each otherâs company; laugh, goof around, travel, do something enjoyable together.
Your relationship will be SO much more rewarding if you’re also best friends.
Genuine love takes a lot of work at times, as well as sacrifice and understandingâbut that’s ok! In fact, that’s what makes it so special.
As one wise person once said, âGenuine love is demanding. But its beauty lies precisely in the demands it makes. Only those able to make demands on themselves in the name of love can then demand love from others.â (St John Paul II)
So as we focus on bettering ourselves, let’s be encouraged that this will, in turn, make our own relationships more rewarding and longlasting.
