Why are adult love relationships so hard?
I think they are hard because they are dependent
on virtue to have a long-lasting and fulfilling one.
Aristotle himself believed that only when two virtuous
people meet can they have a successful and happy
relationship, this is true of love and friendship.
What then follows from this finding is that virtue although
in off itself a great good, also delivers a pivotal end being
long-lasting and happy relationships for human beings.
This in many ways accounts for why the virtuous flourish
and achieve eudiamonia, while others don’t.
If Aristotle is correct the core reason for having a relationship
will be not to enjoy anothers wealth or good looks but to share
in each others virtues and increase our virtue and our partner theirs
from our shared contact and connection.
So it seems like flowers that never flourish and bloom in isolation,

and experience with and only through long-lasting relationships
