There was no social media, it was a time when people really had real conversations face to face 🎙️💨

It just has to be with a person , who’s for you, about you. Y’all have to be able to properly communicate and listen to each other. No relationship is perfect. But there’s someone perfectly made for everyone.

I too would like to see that representation. I know it exists, but often I see microwave relationships. As far as the question how people make it work? That goes into putting in the work of unconditional love , upholding boundaries , healing and compromise. If you have those elements in a relationship and found your person it will last.

I was with my wife for 39 years until she died in 2023. We had rules for arguing and we prioritized our relationship but mostly, we just loved each other.

This may sound crazy. But, date women who actually LIKE women. Take your time and get to know the person as well. Anything worth having is so much better when it’s intentionally nurtured.

Gotta find someone who wants it just as bad as you do.

My wife and I have 30 years, and 22 year old twins. We try every day to check in with each other, we have done communication therapy on and off for that 30 years. Respect, acceptance, and patience. Don’t get me wrong, there have been some tough things to live through, but with that mutual understanding and respect, we have made it this far and we enjoy each other’s company. I think that’s an important factor. 

10 years with my partner. Find someone who can be your best friend, soulmate, where you vibe so silkily there's never a honeymoon period because it's always comfortable. That is, you both accept each other from the jump, are clear about who you are and your values, unshakable boundaries, and laughter.

My wife and I have been together since 2018 and married in 2022. We became parents this year. She’s my best friend and we choose each other and our life together every single day. Communication is essential-no games, no expectations of mind reading. She makes me laugh and we revel in this very special life we’ve built together.

35 years together. We just keep growing and choosing each other and our relationship over and over. We have lots of fun and are pretty good at getting through hard stuff together.
