^Relationships - is Love enough?^

I realized in this blog, I have yet to enter an emo entry. Compared to previous blogs, I seem....happy. And I am. Recently, some relationships around me have taken beatings. From witnessing acts of betrayal to actual breakdowns, they have greatly saddened me.

I am a very lucky girl for my guy makes me happy. The more I see other relationships fail, the more I appreciate mine. Is it so difficult to make things work?

The building blocks of a relationship are simple - Love, Passion, Understanding and Trust. Or so I thought...why is it some can't get it right? They claim incompatibility...really? They say "he ain't understanding and accomodating enough", I ask "did you try to accomodate him"? I never believe one could find the Perfect One where both moulds would fit as one. I always felt relationships required some compromising and changes to one's expectations.

I always tell friends around me, we may be young but I thought we should enter relationships with a future in mind. If it ain't gonna work out, why waste our time? Maybe some would like to spend their youths playing before settling...it's a mindset that's beyond me. It ain't always about marriage, but if it's for fun or lust...then I don't get it.

A guy can make you happy now. He can pamper you with gifts, tender words and lots of attention. Can he sustain it or is it only in the honeymoon period? If he tires or changes, can you accomodate him? Do you appreciate all he does for you? Do you try to understand things from his point of view? And most of all, can each be filial to the other? Infactuations can occur - "that girl's hot...the guy's real nice to me..." - but will you remain pure of heart towards your partner?

Sigh...a loved one once asked me 7 years ago: "Isn't Love enough?" I said "No". It takes committment, devotion, passion and understanding to complement the "L" word. But most of all, Trust, which is sorely lacking in many of the relationships around me.

K once said: "To love someone is to want what's best for him/her". I'm trying to live by that everyday. How about you?
