We live in a world where loyalty feels rare, where promises are easily broken and where love is mainly associated with games and betrayal rather than honesty and trust. It often feels like there is no room for people who still believe in love and marriage, who want to build a warm home and a loving family. Like somehow, it became a far-fetched dream to find that kind of love, as if it’s something meant for storybooks, not real life.
More and more people are starting to give up on love, not because they don’t want it, but because they’re exhausted. Tired of getting ghosted, breadcrumbed and feeling like just one of many. Dating can start to feel like a game you’re always losing or a race you can’t really win, especially when your heart was never meant to play by those rules. And when disappointment becomes the norm, it’s easy to wonder: Does faithful love even exist anymore?
And I believe it does, but not in the way it used to be. It looks a lot different now. It’s not loud or flashy anymore. It’s not a fairytale ending in happily ever after. It’s more subtle. It’s in the rare connection that you still find amidst the chaos, in mutual respect, in two people choosing each other, even when things aren’t perfect. It’s in being patient, understanding, compassionate and deciding to truly give it a shot, when it’s easy and when it’s hard.
Faithful love isn’t about perfection, it’s about choices. Choosing to be a better person. Choosing to stay when it’s easier to leave. Choosing to be vulnerable in a world that rewards detachment. Choosing to be faithful even when the world tells you not to be.
Faithful love isn’t about stars aligning for two soul mates to find each other, it’s about making it work when the timing and the circumstances aren’t on your side. It’s about fixing what can be fixed instead of letting it break. It’s about doing the hard work to fall in love not just once, but over and over, with the same person, through every version of who they become.
Because in the end, faithful love isn’t just found, it’s built slowly and sometimes painfully. It’s something you choose to renew, even when it would be easier to walk away. And even in a broken world, love still prevails when two people decide to love each other faithfully anyway because deep down, they know it’s worth everything.
