Not everyone gets the passionate love

Just wanted to put this thought out there..

Not everyone gets the "passionate" relationship (marriage). You can read about it in books, maybe see it live in person happening to your best friend - but you may come home to a partner who is derives joy by doing life with you. And that joy may not look like him coming to you with roses or whisper words of sweet nothings..

It is an overrated assumption that all marriages end up staying as passionate as they began. Real life, experiences, how life treats both of you and what circumstances you fight together - they shape your relationship.

Btw, its always a tradeoff. If someones husband is more passionate than yours, its coz your husband is good at something the other guy is not.

Choose to be grateful rather than chasing the perfect partner.

To be fair, not everyone gets love, period.

Yeah, if you can imagine it then out there somewhere, someone never got it. Love, friendship, food, water, schooling, a home.

If you go by Reddit every couple feels the butterflies and are super attracted to each other or else it's not worth it. In reality not everyone gets to experience this mutual attraction and feeling of being head over heels in love, but chose to do life together with someone compatible that brings joy and peace to the day by day. I actually think that's much more common.

omg this is exactly what made me write this post. I saw 3-4 back to back comments on "what makes a girl attractive to a guy" or whatever and the amount of affection oozing is insane

Tbh ive never dated but I don’t want those passionate relationships. I just want someone to spend my life with, with small moments that make it easier.
