What Love Requires

As our life together started to take shape, especially after we moved in together for the first time, the one thing that surprised me about what love required was that it required very little. I didn’t have to try to be happy or sad or anything really. I could just be myself with you and let you be yourself and that was really all it took. Love seemed to be the guiding factor not something that had a bunch of criteria to it, and that was an absolute first for me. It was and is still so effortless. Whether it was the best day of our relationship or the worst day, the love was never questioned or demanding. It just needed to be honored and trusted. I can do that forever, easy.
