What Would Bear Grylls Do?

When we enter our first relationships we typically think about who we are compatible with now. It isn't until you are with a person for a long period of time that you think of making this continue into the future. They grow on you. After many heartbreaks, you smarten up and consider people who you think you will be compatible with in the future...now. If you are with someone now and they can't be bothered to go out of their way for you, what are the chances that five years from now they will be any different for you or anyone else?

With age comes the realization that you want someone who can put up with you (or someone you can put up with) when you get old and start to forget the past, good and the bad. I will admit I have been one of those saps that "awwww" at old couples holding hands. Find those people who will make you get premature laugh lines. You will be happy to grow old with them.
