Earlier today I attended a surprise 40th Wedding Anniversary Party for this amazing couple whom I knew since I was growing up. It was very successful because there were many people from the different areas of their activities and it was just totally unexpected. There were clips of other couples talking about them, etc and apparently they're known to be the couple without a conflict. Wow! 40 years of marriage and no conflict? Well, nothing big enough to turned into a fight.
In any relationship, there has to be compromise and acceptance. It's a lifetime of work. For 40 years, it's about listening and working hard at your communication with your partner. Even if it's chemistry, it still requires work. Today's little celebration reminded me of what I look for in a relationship. A natural chemistry, where things just kinda flow and happen, effortless...

hmmm... that is nice... although, i'm not sure about effortless. less effort, maybe. i feel like everything takes effort, and the right amount of effort accompanied with result makes it all worthwhile. kalo nggak ada effort, we'll take it for granted. kalo kebanyakan susah en nggak ada result juga males banget deh... hehehe... selfish... i'm human anyway. like a friend of mine always says: "Jesus loves you, but I'm not Jesus..."
anyway, cheers to all loveable idiots! (you and i included, hehe)
