Simplify Your Relationship

With social media being so prominent in everyday life now, life has become a competition. It can be from who goes on the most lavish trips, to who has the best life. I used to be one of those people who was concerned with having my life appear like it was so amazing. Especially in the love department because my past relationship were not worthy of showing to the world. I wasn't the best at choosing guys who would be right for me.

That all changed when I started dating my boyfriend. We learned from the very start of our relationship that there needed to be a balance. Not everyday was going to be exciting and extravagant, but we needed to learn how to do the simple things together also. 

During the weekdays, we lay low. Since I work retail my schedule is not consistent. My boyfriend has a set schedule so when I don't work nights, we spend those evenings together. It can range from making dinner together to watching the bachelorette on Mondays. That way we can save up and do the more extravagant things on the weekends when we are both off. We make the most out of the time that we do spend together and that's all that really matters. 

We also are hardly ever on our phones when we are together and that makes quite a big difference. It's also nice to just go off of the grid and enjoy the world around you instead of being consumed to a world condensed into a phone.

Spending time with each others' families is also important to me and him as well.  I am extremely close to my family, so I love that he gets along with them so well and that my family is obsessed with him!  Being close with his family is something that I am working on, but so far so good! They are going to be my family one day, so it's important that I have a good relationship with them.  It's also nice to just hang out with the families on those days where we are just relaxing.

Being in this good of a relationship is very new to me still and I love learning all of the right things to do in relationships because in my past I knew of all of the things that were bad in relationships.  

Everyone has that one person out there that makes their life easier instead of more complicated.  Just be patient and they will eventually be in your life!
