Engaged Tony + Chelcia in Bali by Juvenco

Most people would think taking picture requires pressing a button – we always believe it’s more than that. It’s about telling a story. Tony + Chelcia have been good friends over the years, and their relationship is all about Bali. They are the best kind of love – when they fall in love, they honestly will claim the sky is bluer, Bruno Mars moves them to tears and will always feel young. I would usually rave on about my couple’s story, this time I might want to rave on about how to build a love that lasts.

We live in a disposable culture. Things generally aren’t built to last, sometimes we don’t even want things to last. Otherwise, we might miss out on the latest, greatest version. It is easy to transfer this same mentality to our intimate relationships. But enduring, loving relationships are one of the best investments we can make. Good relationships do not lose value—like a fine bottle of wine, they only become richer the longer they last.

Still, it can be easy to lose sight of the true worth of your relationship. I learnt a lot from Tony + Chelcia and this are a few of them

There is believe – Most of us have messed up more than a few relationships. We’ve all seen marriages fail—our parents’, our friends’, perhaps even our own. Despite all this, most of us continue to long for lasting love. But many of us have lost confidence—in ourselves, in our partner, or in both—to actually pull off a long-term relationship.

Marriage seems like a leap of faith. But Chelcia’s faith in their abilities to build a healthy, lasting relationship breaks my views.

There is bond – Pet names. Kisses on the forehead. Snuggling. These little expressions of affection are vital. I could see Tony’s vulnerable side to Chelcia, he affirms his trust in her. We all need to be nurtured. They both always find ways that build their emotional connection as a couple.

There is wise battle – Some people are energized by a little drama; others are completely drained by it. Their healthy emotions are the key of their healthy relationship. Tony always try not to weaken his partner by constantly lashing out verbally. A constant barrage of petty fights can do as much damage as one significant one.

Relationships don’t always end up where we expected. However, if you begin your relationship with a clear destination in mind, you are much more likely to reach your final goal: lasting love.
