Do you believe in fairy tales?  Did you grow up reading fairy stories and watching Disney movies?  Do you love Hollywood Rom-Coms?

If the answer is “Yes” then I’ve got news for you.  You’ve been spun a thousand yarns about what relationships should be like when the reality is far from Hollywood, Disney and Fairy Tales.

Far too many of us of a certain age, grew up with the subliminal expectation of being rescued by a knight on a white charger, and when that happened life would be perfect and we would live happily ever after. So all we had to do was act like a princess and wait for our prince.

Did that happen?  I’m guessing that it probably didn’t.

So why is that?

REAL Relationships aren’t perfect, they don’t have you disappearing into the sunset every evening to live a blissful, satisfied and perfect life.

REAL Relationships are messy and dark and dirty.

REAL Relationships are fun, fabulous and flirty.

REAL Relationships take hard work and effort, and that includes compromise from both parties which is usually when arguments happen as couples try to work out the middle-ground that they’re both happy with.

REAL Relationships toss and turn with all that life throws at them; illness, financial instability, pandemics, job changes, job losses.

REAL Relationships are strong, healthy and robust enough to cope with the twists and turns of life.

REAL Relationships ebb and flow like the tide with each partner unnoticeably taking turns to take responsibility, take control, look after each other.

In a REAL Relationship that is strong, healthy and robust the ebbs and flows, twists and turns of life are just events that are overcome, some more easily than others, but never with a fear that the relationship is about to end.
