Finding that heart that truly loves you and stand with you in all the rough times and sweet moments of your love life is the best gift ever one could get from that special person that truly loves and cares. A lot of people will always say that love is a beautiful thing and the feelings that comes with it is unquantifiable and immeasurable.
But the fact remains that most of us if not all of us have failed to really look beyond love, accept the actual reality and tell ourselves the hard truth about these two major aspects of reality of life experience. These two major aspects of reality of life may include;
1. A Place for love
2. A Place for responsibility.
Lets discuss these two major aspects of reality of life so that you will have the knowledge about what love and responsibility is all about.
A PLACE FOR LOVE
This aspect of life reality covers the wonderful, beautiful, and sweet love experience and memories one gets from the partner, all the good things of life love can offer are found within this area. In this situation, every of one's desire, pursuits and efforts are solely to make the next person in their life happy and at all cost. When that person exhibits uncultured manner and attitudes, because you love and cherish the person, you may do your best to overlook the flaws and keep putting more efforts so as to keep the relationship going. What ever that will bring happiness and utmost satisfaction of heart and mind to your partner is what fills your heart at any given time. You can even go extra length to do all your spouse biddings just to prove to your spouse that you truly want to make a difference in their life. Your major priority at this period in your relationship with your spouse is to provide all the things that will project utmost love in your partner's life.
Giving gifts, going out on a date with your spouse, giving a listening ear when ever your spouse needs your attention, provision of solutions to problems your spouse may be having, whether financially, emotionally, physically and morally and also living harmoniously are the things one should always fight for to provide for their spouse during relationship. All of these mentioned are what makes up that aspect of life reality when it comes to the place of love.
A PLACE FOR RESPONSIBILITY
This second segment of life reality is where a lot of People have failed to give more attention too. Most at times it's even a very big issue for those that want to step up their relationship to the next level in their lives. Have you ever heard from someone saying that Love is not enough?
So many people have forgotten that this aspect of life reality have kept a lot of persons, families, relationships and marriages in a very bad shape and regrets. A place for responsibility I am explaining in this context is not that direct taking care of your spouse and your loved ones needs and wants in a love or ordinary relationship, rather it's by trying to look beyond love and take prompt action and decision to prevent some issues which might hurt that person in your life in the nearest future when the challenges that you were supposed to avoid pops up and blows away that love you once shared with your spouse.
Not taking the responsibility to act accordingly to some important issues that may necessarily require unbiased decision to prevent regrets, crisis in future in a relationship has been the reason for some relationship breakups, divorce in marriages, etc.
To fully bring you to the proper understanding of this point, I will share with you this short story about two couples that their genotype result were "AS genotype" and the doctor they went for consultation for the genotype test result told them that the chances of bearing children with sickle cell anemia is 98% possibility due to their result, because they loved each other so much and never wanted to separate from each other, they went to church to get married and the church requested for their genotype result to confirm if they two were compatible before wedding them, when the result came in, the officiating pastor saw the result and told them that they are not compatible and that they can not get married, but they insisted and the pastor got them married.
After their marriage, they started bearing children and gave birth to four children with sickle cell anemia, before you knew it the sickle cell anemia health crisis began and they went to hospital, spent so much money on drugs and blood transfusions on their sick children and before you knew what was going on, they lost their business and got broke, they lost their children one after the other because they were not able to finance the treatment bills any more.
When all their children died, the love they had for each other faded away and hatred and pain engulfed the two couples and after little time they got divorced and went their separate ways.
This particular incident happens to most people and even other stories that are similar too also happen every day in people's life all because they refused to accept that love is not enough when it comes to life time journey with your spouse. Have you had the opportunity to look beyond love to really tell yourself the hard truth that most times love is not enough to start up that love journey with that person you so much love and cherish in your life.
The moment we all try to search our souls, look beyond what we feel in our hearts and be bold enough to take good responsibility to take decisions that will always put our happiness first and the safety of other too, that the time we will have that utmost satisfaction we desire in our hearts. Always remember that love is not enough.
