So many times you'll hear that a relationship is like a roller coaster. There's ups and downs. Twists and turns. Scary and fun. I like to look at it like an amusement park.
There are days that are sunny, warm, and bright. All the rides are running. There's the smell of cotton candy, and hot dogs with french fries in the air. Sounds of carnival games, screams from the coaster mixed with music from the carousel. It is usually like this especially in the beginning. Everything is new and exciting. No worries or cares. You're just getting to know each other and every day is like the first time for everything. No fighting or arguing. Don't get me wrong. It can be like this as the relationship has grown, too.
Then you have your days that are cloudy. It looks like it might rain and some of the rides are shut down. The last time you had gone, the weather was perfect and the rides were running with no lines. Now it starts raining and after a short time there's an announcement that the park is closing. The thing about going to amusement parks is, that you can't always count on the weather. What starts out sunny can turn to rain within hours.
There are going to be sunny times in your relationship. You are both getting along,
No fighting. Romance. Sex. It's all very good. It's important to remember that there will be times when things aren't so good. It's cloudy, rainy, and cold. You need to cover up and do your best to weather the storm, and realize it will pass and then things will return to better days. You're not going to stop going to the park because of one or two bad days there. If you love going, you're going to return. There are always going to be times when the trip to the park is so bad, that you never go back. But remember those fun times when the weathe gets bad or rides close. Don't stop going.
