Real Love

It's almost 1am. I'm typing this from my phone so excuse any mistakes.

My wife is asleep next to me. I'm sitting here and I'm looking up things to do for her just to try to express my love in other ways. I was compelled to write this blog to share how real love really feels. When you are 100% faithful to your partner and you're loving them selflessly the love consumes you.  It doesn't consume you in a way that's unhealthy. It consumes you in a way that is invigorating and motivating. The love pushes you to be great. The love is always on your mind and always in your heart. Your partner is always on your mind and everything you do you think about how it will effect them. This love is so real. It's also rare. This love isn't rooted in lust but lust may also be a part of it. This love is pure. It's a bond like best friends but you have the perk of getting to be lovers. The sex becomes a plus not a priority. Your focus is on the heart and mind, not the body. The connection is spiritual not physical. It's deeper than words. It's deeper than any conprehension. Even the most educated person with the largest vocabulary would not be able to fully describe love. Describing love is like trying to describe God. It's bigger than us.

Real love doesn't hurt. There will be moments of frustration and discomfort but real love will never be chronic pain caused by your partner. If your partner is causing chronic pain then it's not real love. Don't settle for second-rate love. Don't settle for my word on love. Don't settle for what people tell you.. Desire real love and don't settle for anything less.

Real love will push you to a new level. You won't want to be complacent. You won't want to get comfortable. You'll want to be better every day! You'll want to keep growing so you can please your partner even more.

This love is so real. It's a lifetime love and you know in your heart that it'll last forever. Til death do us part is the goal and anything short of that just doesn't feel right.

I want you to know that you shouldn't be crying, fighting and arguing every week. You shouldn't have to stalk your partner. You shouldn't have to interrogate your partner. You shouldn't have to beg, plead, and go thru the same issues over and over. Don't waste time with fake love. Don't stress yourself out over someone who isn't ready to love. Love yourself enough to walk away.

I've made mistakes. We all make mistakes. But the thing about real love is that you don't stay down. You don't live in your mistakes. You get better and you grow and you refuse to go back to who you once were. Real love changes you.

I'm so thankful for a love like this and if you don't have it yet I want to help your prepare for it. Don't give up on love. Don't lose hope. Love yourself in every way and be ready for love when it's your time.

Real love is real. It exists and we all deserve it.
