Will Work For Love

I have been wondering lately about love; the love between a woman and a man. Do people really stay together, happily together? How much work does it take to stay with that one special person for the rest of your life? Should you really have to work for it? Shouldn’t it just be natural and easy? Shouldn’t two people be able to coast through their lives together, all the while sharing those stolen passionate moments?

In my life I have not been witness to long lasting love between a husband and wife. I have yearned for this is my life. I want it so badly, that at times it physically hurts. Unfortunately, it just seems to be so much hard work. And I like to take the easy route to everything. I have spoken to couples that have that long lasting commitment and they acknowledge that it does indeed require effort. Perhaps there is no such thing as uncomplicated, easy love. I suppose that if I want to have the love I have searched for, I will have to mend my ways, buckle down and work for it. They say anything worth having is worth working for.
