Railey Molinario grew up believing love conquers all, but real relationships face bills, illness, and hardship. The couples who survive aren't the ones who love hardest. They're the ones who know how to solve problems together.
I wish someone had taught me this before getting into my first relationship, and that is that love is not enough. I was so obsessed with love when I was a little girl. I thought that I just want to fall in love with my dream man and we're going to live happily ever after. The end. This is the story that I was told through the books and the movies, and I thought that that's what real life was going to be. And this is how everyone is going into relationships. They think if I can just find that partner that makes me feel good and I fall in love with them, we're going to live happily ever after. Unfortunately. Unfortunately, that's not real life. Real life is bills and illnesses and difficulties. And the question is, do we as a couple know how to navigate that? And as we go through those issues, we actually become stronger as a team.
