Being in any kind of relationship is hard work. Relationships take time and effort on everyone in the relationship. TV and the movies make relationships look like they do not take any effort at all to keep them together.
I
have had many different kinds of relationships in my life. The first kind is
the relationship that I put all the effort into. The next kind is that I did
not put any kind of effort into the relationship at all, I call this my check
out mode. The last kind is where it is a partnership that I worked just as hard
as my partner in crime.
Out
of the three kind of relationships the best kind was the last one, where we are
both working together to keep our relationship going. The Prophets and General
Authorities have asked us to continue to date one another to fall in love with
one another again and again.
One
thing I have notice, maybe it comes with age, is that I would rather spend time
making memories and not spending tons of money on a gift. One year with my
partner’s birthday. I was able to get different pictures of him throughout his
life. I picked out the same amount of pictures for his age and hung them from a
balloons in his house. When he came home he was shocked and loved them. He
still talks about that birthday gift.
My
partner is not a romantic kind of person at all, which is a real struggle for
me. However, when he goes out of his way to make sure that I am happy it means
the world to me. For example knowing that my oil in my car needs to be changed.
He will come by my work and pick my car up to take it in. This is big for me
since I am always on the go and don’t have time for something like this.
I
know that most of this stuff might seem small and simple to some. But to me it
is big.
