Love is a Two-Person Thing

In the world of love, it’s like drinking water—you know how it feels.

Let’s talk about Sarah and her husband’s love story. Everyone knows he used to beat her up. Everyone knows he cheated on her when she was pregnant. Everyone tells her to leave the guy who hurt her.

But Sarah’s response is always the same: “You’re overthinking it. He’s good to me, he never hit me, we’re happy, why would I leave him?!”

Some people say Sarah is stupid, that she’s lost herself for love. Others say viewers are just minding their own business, that it’s Sarah’s life and she knows best. What outsiders think doesn’t matter, the truth is known only to the people involved.

But I think Sarah is smart. She made the choice many women would make. She also made the choice many women wouldn’t.

Love is a Two-Person Thing

Some people say love is the most illogical thing in the world. You don’t know where it comes from, but you just feel it deep in your heart.

Love is a conversation between two souls. It’s a process of leaning on each other and trusting each other.

Love from just one side isn’t love. One person giving everything isn’t love. Using tricks to make someone fall in love and then possessing them isn’t love.

Love is a two-person thing. It’s natural when feelings are deep, and it’s the warmth and longing that remains after the hormones fade.

Some people say love can’t handle any sand, that love can’t be shared.

But is love really like that? They say there’s no cat that doesn’t stray, and there’s no couple that has passionate love for ten years straight. It’s impossible for two people to not have disagreements and friction.

So, when problems and flaws arise, even if you know you still love each other, do you have to break up?

Of course not. The novelty of love is just a temporary thing. The real story of love is mutual respect and understanding, responsibility and commitment.

Sarah and her husband have been together for over ten years. Even if they had disagreements when they were younger, they’re happy now. At least that’s how she makes it seem.

Leaving Isn’t Easy

Many people give their hearts truly, but because of their emotional purity, they don’t allow any sand in their eyes.

When the other person makes a mistake, even if they still love each other, they break up, they leave. But leaving isn’t that easy.

Let’s not even talk about the other person begging and pleading. Can you even handle that mentally? What about all the years you’ve put in? Maybe you even have kids together. How can you just walk away? Do you think you can just cut off your feelings like that?

So, love is also a huge investment. The more you put in, the harder it is to get out.

Sarah and her husband’s story isn’t something fans should try to fix. Even if fans break through that windowpane, it wouldn’t help.

A Good Marriage Needs to Be Maintained

Someone asked me what the basic principle of a good marriage is.

My answer is definitely maintaining the home together.

Because maintenance is a way of caring. When two people are thinking and working together, it’s easy to make the home thrive. It’s easy to have a happy and loving marriage.

Of course, maintenance is also about trust.

When someone says something bad about your partner, the first thing you should think about is defending them. When others spread rumors or make unfounded comments, your attitude determines how they view your partner.

No matter what the truth is, you should defend them immediately. Don’t let your attitude become a spark that starts a fire.

Sarah’s comments are undeniably a defense of her family and her husband. They clear up the doubts of the viewers and prevent further rumors from spreading.

Maintenance is also about protection.

Maintenance isn’t about covering up mistakes, it’s about protecting. Even if the other person is truly wrong, as a partner, you should naturally stand by them in principle, and face the consequences together objectively.

A good partner isn’t like Judge Bao, who clears themselves and is righteous and impartial, even to their own family. They should understand that they are one, and share the good and bad times together.

The values and emotions within maintenance don’t conflict. It’s just a way for couples to move forward together, and it’s the most basic principle of love and marriage.

A Good Marriage Needs to Be Maintained

In the end:

It’s not true that love is the grave of marriage.

Marriage is love that’s been refined. The love that can survive marriage is the truest form of love in life.

Talking only about love, not about life, is just idealistic romanticism. Because the everyday struggles and hardships are the foundation of love. Without them, it’s just a castle in the sky.

So, if you want love to last, it has to go through the process of life, through the form of marriage.

May everyone find their soulmate, and blossom and bear fruit in their own stories.
