between order and randomness

Many people will always have unrealistic expectations of relationships. Hopeless romantics think that love is the solution to all of life’s problems. Some continuously confuse lust with love. Some change lovers after lovers because they love that initial excitement of a new found love. But it’s no lie that we all go into relationships with some sort of expectation. And what we believe about relationships generally affects what kind of attitude we have when we deal with our relationships.

When we have unrealistic expectations, not only do we disappoint ourselves, we disappoint our partners. Many people think that if they find the right guy or girl, the whole relationship is just one smooth ride. Wrong. Love really takes a lot of work.

So if you think you found the one worth your time, don’t stop doing all the hard “work” you put in at first. Put work into the right relationship, and you really can reap all the love and intimacy benefits.
