Loyalty is more important. Love can weaken however it’s loyalty and steadfast determination to stay together is what gets you through. If you make a commitment and stick to it eventually you will succeed. Love grows from not giving up on each other.

Yes, even during those tough times when he farts & immediately gets in the car.

Yes, it was enough. My story isn’t about love for another though, it was about love for myself. I realised I deserved respect, I deserved to feel worthy, I deserved to be happy. That love was enough to get me through hard times and realise too that losing someone else who you love isn’t the end, it’s a beginning to learning how to love yourself enough to move forward and start fresh.

I've been with my partner for thirty years we have eight children and nine grandchildren we have struggled through the years with the death of our second child our darling daughter due to sids which led my husband to develop depression and a alcoholic it was seven long years of hard work and determination to not throw in the towel but my love for him kept us going that was over twenty years ago now he still apologizes for those years of struggle so yes in my case love was enough

I know this is going to be used in some hack article but I'll contribute anyway.
My husband and I have been through some intense times together. One example is when I miscarried. We were young and whilst it could have torn us apart (we've both known couples who have broken up after losing a baby) we let it bring us closer. I remember my own family being unsupportive about it, but his family took me in and it brought all of us closer. It took time, but love is what got us through. The love he and I share, and the love his family have for him and then me.

When we faced bankruptcy, we didn't pull away from each other. We took our broke asses and hugged our way out of it. That, and we made a lot of sacrifices.

If you choose it, love can be enough. At least enough to help you weather the storm.

It helps but I don’t think it is the only driving force to make it through hard times.
