LOVE IS NEVER ENOUGH

Your spouse is the one who'll sit beside you when your parents die. Who'll hold your hand through childbirth. Who might have to bathe you if you're ever too sick to stand.

This isn't just about butterflies or date nights. It's about choosing someone who shows up - in grief, in mess, in uncertainty.

So no, I don't believe love alone is enough.

Commitment, maturity, and the ability to endure life's ugly parts - that's what sustains a marriage. Because when life gets painfully real, romance won't carry you character will. And the truth is, forever is only possible with someone who knows how to stay when it's hard to love.

It's about the quiet moments when words fail, and all you have is each other's presence. It's choosing patience over frustration, forgiveness over resentment, and understanding over blame.

In the end, love is the spark, but endurance is the fire that keeps the light burning bright through every storm. That's what transforms a fleeting feeling into a lifelong bond.
