If it's meant for you, it'll be smooth.

Do you believe that if a person is meant for you, the relationship would be smooth? I'm asking because I'm quite worried and all. My partner and I don't really have a smooth relationship, no we don't fight often, but there are just instances were there are stresses, like him losing a job right now, being far away for two months now. I do love him deeply, and if this statement is indeed true, does this mean that we are not meant to be? Who could attest to the truth of the statement, and who could say otherwise?

No relationship is going to be perfectly smooth. It doesn't mean you're not right for each other though. All couples are going to have issues from time to time. That just means that there is communication. It might not always be good communication, but that means you have to find a way to work out your problems. I think a lot of couples are having some issues right now. Jobs are scarce and it causes money trouble, which is very stressful to many couples. You and your partner are just dealing with stressful issues right now. Don't take it to mean that your not right for each other though. My husband and I were fighting some when he didn't have steady work. It was just a hard time for us. We weren't thinking of splitting up or anything close to that. Problems just happen and you have to be strong enough to work them out.

You're right, if in every bad situation I'd think this way, for sure the relationship wouldn't stand it. Thanks for reminding me to keep being strong.

I don't believe in the saying "If it's meant for you, it'll be smooth.". it is just natural to a partner or to a couple to encounter problem. It really sounds boring if you are not encountering problems. problems makes your relationship strong.It is a challenge for both of you on how you will handle the problem that you are facing. Bear in mind that there is no perfect relationship. All couples encountered problem, it's natural to everyone.

It's good to know that someone doesn't believe in it that much, I was beginning to worry because my relationship with my partner isn't the smoothest one, but over time we do adjust and I hope it's not just because we love each other but also because the relationship is important to us both.

I think what should count is the relationship itself, not the hardships you run into. if you can get through all the hardships and love each other, it just shows how you are truly meant to be because you really love each other no mater what. My relationship with my bf are doing great, though there are some hardships here and there.we just stick together and help each other along the way....

Love is never easy. I mean, couples fight and go through hard times, but if your meant to be, you work through them together and make it work.
