My relationship is strong because…

⚖️Both the highs and the lows.

Relationships aren’t all ☀️ and 🌈

Of course it took me a long time to understand this. I’m 41 now.

I’ve been with my wife since I was 25.

As a youngster, I believed if our relationship was going well, that we belonged together, but if there was any disagreement or negativity that something was wrong and maybe we weren’t meant to be together.

Luckily for me, my woman’s love was unwavering.

She was the love and enjoyment I didn’t even know I needed.

Our relationship has been far from perfect, but it’s because of all our hard times that I know our love can overcome anything.
