Love is the same yet different. There is a medium of compromise or conquest you must learn to navigate in the
beginning as you pass through the “getting to know each other” process of a relationship. Then there is a learning
to “live with each other” in a marriage.
We're sharing what love looks like from our perspective. It doesn't happen overnight. It is a rollercoaster with thrills,
and fear. There are a myriad of challenges along the way. There are ups, downs, peaks, valleys, smiles, frowns, and
other things upon the horizon. There will be rough seas where you must hold to each other for safety until you get
back to calm waters and love can blossom. Love is everything you imagined and nothing you expected. Yet love
can be pretty.
