Love has been said to be many things and one of them is that it always conquers all the hardships of a relationship. If you are in a relationship, one thing that you can be sure of is that you will have problems. They might be minor or they might be major. Love always wins and, this has not been seen to be the case in the recent past. This is because more and more marriages continue to break and, half of all marital or non marital unions will end in divorce or separation. If love always wins, why is this case? There is no simple answer for this. When you get married, you hope and wish that your love will prevail. However, there are factors and problems that simply prove to be too hard to handle. The following are some of the major causes that make a marriage to fall apart in the present world. First, it is the poor selection of mates. These days, men and women are more focused on the appearance of their mate rather than their values.

The superficial love proves to last a few months or years. Therefore, when you are single today, it is vital that you go beyond looks and realize that you need to find a mate who is wholesome. A partner who can best compliment you. It is better for you to wait a while before getting married and you get the right partner. There are people who often question whether there is ever such a thing as a 'right person'. This really depends on what you are looking for. One thing you can be sure about is that people will come with very many characteristics. Your work is to look at the values that might please you in a partner and when you find them, you will have found your perfect match. We sometimes complicate this process by looking for a person who is perfect. If you want perfection, you need also be to be perfect which you are not. Therefore, finding a right mate is cementing your relationship on a solid ground which cannot be shaken.

Once you have brought home the love of your life, there are other things like conflicts that may make you have tension in your relationship. Make up your mind and say that love always wins. With this attitude, you will be in a position to find a common ground where you can agree whenever you have problems. Therefore, the willingness to work out problems each time goes a very long way to make love conquer all. You need to keep in mind that love is not just words. In marriage, love is a lifestyle. It is something you show to the other person on a daily basis. If you are not willing to show it practically, it will be hard to maintain your union. Spend time together and have activities for each other. This way, instead of being strangers, you will be closer to each other and, this can only work best for your relationship.
