Do not lóse a diamond while you are busy picking stones.

They loved each other and were ready to take things to the next level. 

He had already planned to take her to his people for proper introduction and formalities.

But then, a few days before the time, they had a misunderstanding, and they argued and got ángry at each other. 

At the end of the day, they both went back home, still hûrt about the event of the day. 

He loved her and wouldn't want to lóse her, but he wasn't ready to call or send a message.

“She will apologize first, after all she was the one that hûrt me." He said to himself. 

He kept the phone by the side and kept checking every minute and hour to know if she called, but she didn't. He longed to hear from her, but his egó wouldn't allow him make a move. 

She didn't eat the whole day. She was waiting and hoping that he would call, but he didn't.

“I am the lady here and should be the one to be pampered. He should be the one apologizing." She thought to herself. 

Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. They were still waiting for who to be the first to apologize, the first to call and the first to text. 

And then, the love began to wane and go down, until there was nothing left but shadows of beautiful memories of what would have been but never did because of some fragments of prîde and egó that weren't dealt with. 

Do not allow prîde and egó to make a beautiful relationship to turn sóur. 

It doesn't matter who is at fault, when you value a relationship, you do your best to make it work. 

This has nothing to do with tóxic relationships. Remember, you don't try to mend a tóxic relationship, you brèak apart. 

Life is too short to spend it keeping scores and piling up hûrts. 

Do not lóse a diamond while you are busy picking stones. 

Your marriage will thrive 🌹
