This and that.
Why do two people stay together? I’m amazed at some older people that I know, who are no longer just in-love but have built such a strong bond that transcends any understanding that we have. It is a silent devotion in difficult times, caring in times of illness, support in the face of adversity and the ability to laugh at themselves, and the circumstances despite the odds.
Being together when things are good is easy. It’s the trials that test the bonds. It’s the ability to continue to love when the infatuation is over, when the sex has faded, when youth has been replaced by laugh lines and yet missing each other when either is away, and looking forward to coming home at the end of each day. It’s amazing. A love that is forged through time.
I’ll like to think that it’s a choice we make, and that one day, someone will look at me and my partner, and say the same thing.
