April: Is Love Hard Work?













Featured author Deb Caletti says, "Quinn's mom discusses the idea of 'love as work.' She says a good relationship is easy. How do you feel about this concept?"

I went to grab my copy and one of my daughters has stolen it! So I'm not super clear on the quote.

Definitely, love is work, work, work. I need to find my book to see what Quinn's mom was saying...

Yeah, I don't think relationships are every easy, even the good ones...I have good relationships in my life, quite a few of 'em, and they all take work.

I think maybe she meant, it's easier for you to love them than to not?

Ooh, love your insight Miss Erin. I think love is definitely work. Worth-it work! And I think some things should feel easy, but some things are ROUGH.

I don't think that any relationship is that easy. And the best ones tend to be a bit more work than the so called easy ones.

Although, in every relationship there are some easy things and some hard things. If a relationship is ONLY hard things, then it's probably too much work.
