Intentionality

One thing I realized about relationships is that you have to be very intentional when dealing with them. It is really easy to fall into a rut and be complacent about the way things are heading. It is extremely important to continue to remind each other about the initial goal of the relationship; what you both agreed on before even starting the relationship. It is about trying to make things work out in spite of your differences.

Imagine two people with very different backgrounds and perceptions coming together, trying to understand and love each other. It is hard. I think in the span of several months, we have fought many times but we resolve the issue almost immediately which is great. I guess we both can't stand being mad at each other for very long. It's also true what they say, the ones that are closest to you hurt you the most.

Which brings me back to my point; you have to be intentional. What do you think?
