Our relationship with our partner shapes who we are, who we love, and why. It can be our greatest strength and our greatest weakness. How we find our relationship depends on how we perceive, handle and value it. If there’s one thing I learned about love, that is ACCEPTANCE. Love is not only merely sacrifice but also acceptance.
“A man is a man. He is not a woman. A woman is a woman. She is not a man!” (Let Me Be a Woman by Elisabeth Elliot)
We should appreciate the mystery of our personhood and the one we love. Love is at its best when we accept the fact that we are who we are and that we love someone for who they are.

No human has ever been, and no human will ever be perfect. It is a blessing to be imperfect, because it is a blessing to be human. Errors are natural. Mistakes are inevitable. Embarrassing moments sometimes happen. When we accept that complete perfection is impossible, we can accept ourselves, others, and the world, exactly as is. Why should we be afraid of this freedom? Only out of such acceptance can we can actually make positive changes, because positive changes only come out of a loving heart. We don't deserve love by being perfect.
