Long term love

We should only be in a relationship that we believe has a potential to end in marriage, this should be our main reason for getting involved in one and nothing less. What’s the point of investing time and emotion in a partnership we only see lasting a few months? We’d only hurt ourselves.

We have to look far ahead, not just weeks from now but years after. Do we really see our self growing old with this person? Do we really think we can take his/her weaknesses and faults and still love him/her through that? Now it takes time to truly be able to answer that. And this is where friendship and dating comes in, the phase where we get to know the opposite gender better before we move it up the next level.

It will save all of us (single people) a lot of heartbreaks if we go by this rule: that unless we’re already confident this ONE is the ONE, we won’t take the plunge until we’ve reached that certainty.

And remember that “Love and relationship” takes two so you both have to be on the same boat, willing to paddle your friendship to a deeper level.
