They'll try to tell you that when the years pass you won't be enough for each other.. but how can you no longer be enough when there's not a single morning that you take each other's existence for granted?

I hope you still hold hands and cuddle. I hope you both still wake up smiling. I hope you still laugh and have fun with each other, no matter where you are. I hope you still remember when you first met and the way you looked at each other and the way your hearts beated as you explored each other. Mind. Body. And then your souls. Finding a sanctuary in each other's soul and feeling a familiarity within, as if no introduction was needed. As if you both had met long ago. I hope you still remember the feeling you had when you realized you had fallen in love, when your souls recognized each other. I hope you remember the long talks you had over the phone or in the car at night or lying next to each other as you looked up at the sky. I hope you remember the butterflies and sparks and fireworks you felt from the pit of your stomach vibrating to the place where your heart lies and bursting through the seams of your body. I hope you are still vulnerable with each other and still share your dreams with each other and your hopes and all the parts of yourself that you are scared for the rest of the world to see. And I hope you both truly listen and make the other feel seen and heard and show them that they have nothing to hide from the world, show them that they are enough just as they are and always will be. I hope you are still grateful for each other and I hope through the ups and downs of life, you are there for each other. I hope you still feel your love, in every second, in every moment, in eternity.

Remember to thank your partner. Always thank them, even if it’s something they do every day for you. Never stop feeling grateful for them. Don’t just say ‘thank you’ mindlessly. Appreciate them and everything they do, every single day.

Keep your sense of wonder about your partner. Continue to ask them questions about themselves. We are continuously changing and growing, so even though you know who they are, get to know who they are becoming.

Always be completely open and honest with your partner. You fell in love while being vulnerable, with your walls down and masks off. Don’t start closing up. If you want to keep your connection, you have to keep yourself open.

In the beginning, we fall in love more and more with our partner every single day. We feel our love for them immensely, in every moment, and we call this the ‘honeymoon phase’. But once that ends, it’s because we’ve stopped being present . We’ve gotten used to them and started taking them for granted. And we stop feeling the spark, the boundless light we felt in the beginning. We bury it beneath things like pain, sadness, work, stress, other people's expectations. We bury ourselves and we start to forget what we feel like and years later we cannot recognize the spark anymore; we forget who we are. But just because this is how it has been, doesn’t mean this is how it always has to be. Remember who you are. Be present. Feel your love. And the ‘honeymoon phase’ never has to end.

When you two have arguments, you both will be aware it is your egos taking over and your souls still love each other. Over time, your souls will become stronger and your egos will take over less and less.

Call them just to hear the sound of their voice.
