Throughout the summer of our love we realize our partner is not as perfect as we thought , and we have work on our relationship . Not only is our partner from another planet , but he or she is also a human who makes mistakes and is flawed in certain ways. Frustration and disappointment arise . weeds need to be uprooted and plants need extra watering under the hot sun . It is no longer easy to give love and get the love we need . We discover that we are not always happy , and we do not always feel loving . It is not our picture of love.Many couples at this point become disillusioned . They do not want to work on relationship . They blame their partners and give up . They do not realize that love is not always easy . sometimes it requires hard work under a hot sun . In the summer season of love , we need to nurture our partner's needs as well as ask for and get the love we need . It doesn't happen automatically.
