I just don't believe in fairy tales... the one thing I know if that relationships take a lot of work... romantic relationships doubly so.
Sure a meeting can be "magical" and "sparks can fly" but in the end there is still the mundane parts of life that come into play. Money. Sex. Paying the bills. Cleaning the house. Working late hours. Remembering birthdays. Everything.
I think my wife and I have a very strong marriage. We have been together for 20 years and married for 10 with two cool kids. But I can tell you, as much as I am in love with her today there have been many (many!!) days were there was stress and frustration to be managed.
We work well together... physically, mentally, emotionally.
There is nothing magical about it. It just takes good communication. The ability to empathize and compromise.
