God bless our forefathers and mothers. People claim they lived an unromantic lifestyle during their time, and maybe they did. But their relationship mostly stand the test of time. It's funny how we claim that they are less romantic in their ways of doing things during their days due to how things are done these days.
Yes maybe they don't "muah" every now and then like we do these days. Of course they don't go on romantic trips every weekends like that which has been made the backbone that most relationships nowadays rest on. But still, they don't turn their backs on each other like what is mostly encountered in relationship nowadays.
If you ask me, I'll tell you that I believe they understand not just the concept of relationship more than we do, but even the core of what it's all about. And if they don't, then the unromantic but honest way of loving that time is then the best way to love.
"For Better for worse, for richer for poorer" is what both parties agreed on before exchanging rings. But unlike before where these words is much more considered and excercised in peoples matrimony, "for better for richer" has now been extracted from the vow. Nowadays A little "Shu" in a relarionship, the bird will be nowhere to be found. What we've forgotten when we talk about love these days is that love is all about sacrifice. Not how much you can take as a party, but how much you care to give or contribute to the relationship.
Sometimes even when you're right, you have to accept that you're wrong, it's one of the sacrifices we're talking about.
Sometimes when you're sad, you have to pretend to be happy if that's going to keep that smile on your partner's face.
Sometimes being silent and mute is the little magic to put your relationship on the right track and keep it moving.
And all this things are almost nowhere to be found in what we call love these days. Until we realize that love is not just about only the sweet and happy moments, I fear what we will keep on seeing is no more relationships, but relationwrecks
True love still exist. But not like old days. Nice one
