In my life, love actually happens over breakfast. It happens during our morning dog walk, where we talk through our plans for the day and laugh about something we saw on TV a decade ago. It happens in line at the DMV and in hospital rooms and over texts from Costco. I’ve found that long-lasting love is about just showing up for the other person, giving them the benefit of the doubt, and treating them like they’re as important as your house keys.
