How hard is it to say these words? Not hard at all, for me at least. How hard is it to stay in a relationship? Damn hard, I tell you. I have learnt that keeping the ‘fire’ and ’spark’ in a relationship alive is no easy task in life. As wise people say it, you can easily fall in love, no doubt, but can you still stay in love until death does us apart?
I have learnt so far that it’s just like cooking in maintaining a relationship. You cannot just let the pot on the stove cooks itself. It can easily get burnt and there’s no way to salvage it. What you need to do is lower the fire and attend to the pot yourself. Of course, you have to first put in the ingredients. Then, occasionally stir it. You may have to put in the spices at one time. Keep on stirring until it’s ready. Put salt to taste. Maybe some pepper to make it perfect. So you see, just like in a relationship, you already have all the ingredients in the pot as a start but you need more effort to attend to it. Relationship can easily ‘die off’ if you leave it be, just like your pot on the stove. You have to constantly see to it and make sure it’s alive. You have to put in ’spices’, in this case perhaps your TLC (tender loving care) to make your relationship more tasty. And hopefully long lasting.
We always say ‘I love you’ to each other and seriously mean it. But that’s just the preface. The first step to a lot of steps ahead. There’s still a lot more to do to keep our relationship alive. The constant care and understanding are essential in a relationship. Patience is part of the ’spices’ that is good to have to make the relationship more tasty. So, make sure you always attend to your relationship as you do to your cooking. If you have never cooked before, it’s alright. Start learning with your relationship. Hahaha!
