Does love last anymore?

I know this can be a bit silly but I read the article about Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan separating but expressing their ability to still have love for each other and be best friends. The article went on to say or explain how they weren’t a perfect couple and definitely had their ups and downs...they couldn’t stand when people awed “such a perfect couple”...disagreements happened...Love is about growing with one another, whether that be meeting someone half way but we would always be able to catch up to one another along the way...the adventure of love has taken different paths for each of them. 💔💔💔

Nooooooo. I really am speechless. This is one couple I always looked towards as an example of a charismatic kind of love...from the first Step Up movie. Ugh. I guess after recently getting out of a relationship myself, I’m seeing just how hard it is to find someone who wants to go through life together.

I agree that you cannot use Hollywood examples to measure whether relationships last or not, that is very true. However, I will say that in general people's beliefs and attitudes toward relationships has changed quite a bit over the years. People have a tendency to get involved for much different reasons today than they used to (and many of them aren't the right reasons either). People have also gotten a lot more selfish/self-centered and lazy when it comes to relationships too. People still claim to believe in and want lasting love and companionship, but in reality relationships have become less important and more "disposable" (forget about marriage attitudes). A good relationship is hard to find because good partners are hard to find because of this. When you find one, it is a real treasure worth holding onto.🤠

@SmileSunshine Yes there is someone out there for you, probably still many to choose from...but they are fewer and farther between. My faith was almost completely destroyed at one time, but then a wonderful woman appeared and my whole world and existence changed forever. Sometimes the one we want and would be most happy with is right in front of us but we just don't see it because either life has obscured them to us or our own attitudes and set criteria/expectations have blinded us to them. I have found that true and lasting love is often found in the most unexpected places and we'd see it if we are not afraid to open our eyes, minds, and hearts and just look. Hang in there and don't give up hope...it could happen sooner than you imagine.😉
