Love is Comfortable?

Love is passionate and all-encompassing. But, eventually, if you’re lucky, it also becomes comfortable.

 

And people tend to fear this phase of relationships— where the ‘honeymoon’ ends and real life sets in. They think that new ‘comfort’ means luke-warm or dull. 

 

But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Comfort shouldn’t be confused with settling or giving up on the feelings that brought you together. It is so much more. 

 

Because, yes. Love should involve passion. But it should also involve friendship, persistence, and growth. It’s taking the time to really learn each other— the quirks, strengths and weaknesses, vulnerabilities, weird habits, and take-out orders.

 

It’s about learning what pushes each other’s buttons and the things that make both of you happy. It’s about being together through all of the ups and downs. It’s about finding excitement within the mundane of an every-day routine and still being able to have those life-changing moments.

Hold On To Love

It’s about holding on to the love you’ve found and nurturing it so that it is built upon a beautiful foundation of friendship.

 

Does that mean that your love is going to be less passionate? Depends on how you look at it. It may be calmed down from the days of not ever being able to keep your hands off of each other, or talking on the phone all night every night.
