Happy St. Valentine's Day!
Remember that there is no perfect symmetry in relationships, no soul mate who will bring effortless happiness to your life. There are people who are good matches, and you should strive to find one, because living with a bad match leads to an agonizing life.
But even your best match is a different person with needs, fears, commitments, and aspirations that may not line up perfectly with your own.
Every relationship, even the best relationships, require compromise, give and take, a dedication to keep romance flourishing, and a commitment to work through the rough spots, no matter how much effort it takes. You will need to pick your partner up when they are down, and they will need to do the same for you more often than you might expect.
Be kind. Be supportive. Be caring. Be patient. Love isn't always easy. Rainbows don't appear every day. But if you find a good partner, and if you are dedicated to each other, long-term joy is well within your reach.
