Love : )

 So, Saturday (Feb. 19) was my parents anniversary. Oh no let me say again. My parents 21st anniversary. Yes, they've been married for 21 years. Wow, that still amazes me. My parents are the reason why I will NEVER give up on love. They are my example of what real love should be like and how a couple should carry themselves. My parents have NEVER "sugar-coated" when it comes to marriage. They have told me that marriage is hard and is not always "a walk in the park." But seeing them together always makes me want that for myself one day. They've have been through sooooo much together and yet they're still in love. They have been through 2 kids, death of love ones, dealing with the death of love ones, and dealing with their MANY haters and other things. My parents were told by many people that they were wrong for each other,  they won't last and many other negative comments. Yet, they stuck by each other. I'm not saying that their relationship is perfect, no relationship is. If you ask them what the key to their relationship is, they will say God. When you and your spouse or partner have God in your life and relationship, nothing and no one can break that relationship. Another key that I've noticed to a great relationship is communication. If you can't talk to your partner, then really there is no relationship. I want to be able to tell him any and everything without being judged. I've also found that trust is another big key. If I can't trust you or constantly worrying about what you're doing, who you're with, if you're REALLY where you say you are, or worrying about our personal conversations being told to someone else, then we're not meant to be together. God, Trust, and Communication are keys that my parents have. If it worked for them, then it can work for me : )

Remember action speaks louder than words....if you REALLY care about someone show them....practice what you preach. Love is a beautiful thing.....when its REAL <3
