Sex is easy. Infatuation is easy. Pleasure is easy. Love is hard work. Not everyone is capable of doing it.
Wow, that says it all right there doesn't it. What does it say about me that I connect with this phrase so readily right now? Sometimes easy is just what the doctor ordered. But, eventually easy must give way to something. Real needs are there and expectations must be met. Being in love can be amazingly easy but the act of loving is very hard work. Pay attention to what you promise because you will be held accountable.
If you aren't capable of loving yourself then you can't effectively love anyone else. Period. No Arguments Allowed. No excuses.

It's definitely the easiest and most rewarding relationship in my life.
And for that unexpected gift, I am truly grateful........
