Two-forty-eight-pm on a Sunday Afternoon...

"the measure of a relationship is not only through the days of happiness and enjoyment, but moreso the hard and troubling times that two people together rise above time and time again" - Edwin Cutts, May 09

Faith, Trust, Honesty, Openness and above all Understanding and Respect for one another... - the hardest things in life, are what make a relationship so much more...

I came up with these words, only a few moments ago as I was reading a note that one of my friends had posted through Facebook.

As I read his story that he posted, quite a lot of things began running through my mind. How true his story was, how often a story like that happens. All those sorts of things. It makes you think just what really is important in a relationship between two people, a relationship of feelings, love, care, and everything else.

Times have changed, a lot. Nowadays you see high-school children "in relationships" and doing god knows what. I suppose in this sense I'm a little more old-fashioned, perhaps a result of how I was brought up by my own parents, who are, old-fashioned.

It begins to make you wonder just what people think having a relationship is all about. Of course for different people it can mean different things, but for the sake of this post, let us consider what many pray to be a true, relationship. The sort of relationship that goes beyond the boundaries of "boyfriend-girlfriend" or dating, and begins the journey towards marriage and such.

I'm honestly having a little trouble putting all my thoughts into typing, since there is just too much going on at the same time. But if you happen to read this post, then I urge you. It's an interesting thing to think about sometimes...relationships.

Life wasn't meant to be easy, there will always be hard times, and like I said...it's how two people can overcome a troubling time together, as a couple, that would make their relationship grow and hopefully become stronger...
