I asked Max the other day to tell me five things he thought have been keys in our relationship. I was not planning on blogging about it when I asked him, but when he said it, I thought it would be something interesting to share, especially since I have such a cute, thoughtful boyfriend. He even gave me six things instead of five! Below are the six things he listed:
1. Friendship We have been best friends since we were in 8th and 9th grade. For a long time, I have been calling that boy my best friend. Our relationship was built upon the foundation of friendship. We already knew so much about each other, and we already knew each other's mistakes and past relationships. Beginning a relationship was a very easy, natural transition. I had a HUGE crush on him since we met anyway! I truly think the best relationships are built off a friendship. Trust me when I say that when you are dating your best friend, it is like dreaming with your eyes open. 2. Heart I think heart has been a very important factor in our relationship. We have had the heart to stay together even when things are far from optimal. Dating so young can be so much fun, but it is also so hard. We have had to grow up SO much in terms of maturity. Not to mention, we are continually growing as people and making the transition from high school to college. When things get hard, we just try harder. Get ya a guy like Max Dacus, because he is pretty great! 3. Communication Communication is key. Communication is key. Communication is key. If you cannot talk to each other and communicate with each other, what do you have? We try to communicate to each other what we are doing throughout the day or whatever. Communication in general is great. As a couple, you have to be able to clearly let each other know whats going on. Sometimes, technology gets in the way of that, but when we are together, communication is so much better. I think that is more important anyway. Plus, whose communication does not get messed up by text messages. 4. Being open with each other If you guys only knew all the things we knew about each other... Trust me, TMI is an understatement. The ugly, the gross, and the far from pretty, we know it all. Nothing is too much for the other person, and we are too a point that we are not afraid to tell each other anything. That openness has created a trust in our relationship, and it really helps with communication. It is honestly really cool to know that much about a person and still love them to pieces! 5. Trust T R U S T. What is a relationship without it? Max Dacus is the most trustworthy person on this earth. If you tell him something private, it won't go past him. I can trust him with anything. I also trust him to do the best for our relationship. Trust is where it is at people. Get you a man you can trust with your secrets and get you a man you can trust you will not see cuddling with another girl on snapchat. 6. Love We will have been dating for three years on July 1st. Some days, we have to choose to love each other. There are days we honestly just do not like each other. However, in those days, we still choose to love each other. Many things have changed, but one thing that hasn't is our love for each other. Falling in love is easy, but feelings are fleeting. Choosing to saying in love take a huge commitment and a lot of work. Choices is what love is all about. Making the choice to stay in love takes a lot of effort, and many people choose to neglect what happens when the newness wears off, because that is when the work starts. We both must choose to love each other. We have been together for three years, and we started dating when he was 15 and I was 16. We have had to endure a lot changes in each other, but we are still choosing to love each other. Choosing to love when you do not always like the other person has brought us a long way.
