I disagree about it being too hard to love somebody "these days". Relationships are work and always will be because you are being matched up with an entirely separate thinking being and let's face it, any person looks out for themselves first and that is bound to cause problems. If you can learn to get through things and place value on your relationship, however, it can be hands-down the best thing in the world. Life is much better with a partner than without, even if it's hard sometimes.
