Is it normal for relationships to be a lot of work?

Question

We broke up for 2 months and it gave us time to step back and see what was going wrong. Now that we know what needs to be fixed we want to take the steps to fix it. It's a lot and it's going to be hard but I want to make it work. We have been together 6 years

Answer

A relationship takes a life time of personal growth and evolution.  It takes commitment and dedication.  Over all though, it should be easier and more joyful than being on your own.

Answer

Definitely normal

Answer

It is normal! If it were easy and fun all the time, there wouldn't be such a high rate of divorce. I think most relationships go through ups and downs. My DH and I have been together for 13.5 years (married for 9) and we e have really great years and not so great ones but we choose to stay together and we choose to work it out.

Answer

Yes. It can be normal. My boyfriend and I had some times where we really had to work, to stay together. Communication is key.

Answer

After the honeymoon of the first 2 years, I'd say yes. Sometimes it is a lot of work. But if you don't get along, don't have common goals, interests, moral values and ethics then maybe it wasn't meant to be.
