There are between life partners sliding layers of history, tectonic plates of it shifting over the decades together.

About This Quote

When we’re in love, we can’t see past our own personal history. But, when we’re in a relationship, we inevitably learn about each other. We understand each other better and grow together. The person we fall in love with is already a part of us and vice versa.

Over time, we find that we share the same values and ideals. We may never completely understand our partner completely but we can respect and admire them and appreciate how special they are in our lives.
