It is a process, whether long or short, that has to happen for you to witness the real beauty. And when the beauty is had, it has to be tended like a garden to prevent weeds from entering and destroying it.

Many times people say relationships are hard work and I believe them. However this is no reason to give up and throw in the towel as soon as an obstacle gets in the way, in fact that obstacle should be as a challenge for you to overcome to make you stronger as a couple.
No romantic relationship is always smooth sailing, some turmoil will arise at some point, but what you need to do when such things happen is to “stay together”. It is best to face problems together than apart, after all, aren’t you “partners”?
