17 Going Steady

Relationships are always a work in progress.  If you want your relationship to last, you must commit yourself to making things work out between you and your partner no matter what. Being in a relationship means one must be ready to face disappointments, heartaches and broken promises.  But it also means being able to have someone to laugh with over silly jokes, someone to hold your hand and make you feel that things are going to be okay.

Ross and I have been together for 17 years as a couple.  I must say that we've gone through so much.  We've gone through every arguments and fights.  We have had our share of laughter and tears.  We have seen the best and the worst in each other.   There were moments when I wanted to give up on us, but I know that I would end up hurting myself more if I did.

They say that the only thing constant in any relationship is that it changes.  It's either you fall more deeply in love, you grow further apart or you end up hating each other.  At this stage in our relationship I can comfortably say I don't want  things to change between us.  Our love is not perfect, but it's real, and in this crazy world what we need to get through life is something we can hold on to when things get rough.

 Let's keep things steady between us...
