Loving someone isn't hard, that's the easy part.
Staying together and making it work takes effort. Sacrifices and compromises from both people need to be made or the relationship will fail.
All couples face challenges within the relationship at some point during their relationship , which can only be overcome if they " fight" to get through any adversitites " life throws" at them.
The strength of a persons love and loyalty is only tested during difficult times. If they can withstand the pressures of life together , and overcome any problems then the relationship will stand a higher chance of lasting a lifetime .
It's easy to love a person and stay with them during the less stressful happier times.
It's unrealistic for anyone to assume relationships dont take effort , and won't face problems along the way. It's how you both resolve those problems that's of utmost importance. No one can foresee what problems may arise within the relationship , so having the ability to deal with those issues either makes or breaks a relationship

Well speaking as a married woman, if you're young and in the early stages of dating it shouldn't be hard. However a longer term relationship will be hard however you slice it. Every person has their own will and opinions and if you are choosing to involve someone in your life in a big way there will inevitably be a bit of conflict. The key is both people need to be putting in effort towards the relationship. It's hard work. And you should both be doing it. If one person is trying so hard and the other is only reaping the benefits there's a problem.
Love is both my dear. You easily feel you're in love with them and it's easy to want to work things out when things become hard. It's like a balance. Love is hard meaning your feelings are so strong that you can't just dip when things get hard even if you're struggling. Sometimes, the mind has to come in and take care of our hearts because if we always follow our hearts, I think we would get no where unless you're the "live in the moment" type.
Love is a big commitment and a big decision, especially marriage, the moment you make a vow to love a person till you pass on into heaven. It's not easy for some, but works like a dream for other people. Luckily my boyfriend has made our relationship easy sailing. I love him so much and I plan to marry him someday.
Love shouldn't be hard at all, but a relationship should be the hardest thing you ever do. Its difficult to constantly be attentive, to communicate, to deal with fights or hard days or emotional issues. Love should be a helpful aspect to any relationship but it shouldn't be hard.
You have to make an effort, but it shouldn't feel like a chore. It should feel like "She's going to love this" or "She does so much for me, I need to take care of this for her". My marriage is great, I don't consider it work and neither does my wife.

Its easy to love someone but to stay in that relationship and maintain it isn't easy because relationships have it's ups and Downs but love alone can't save a relationship.
Love is the most complicated feeling. It's hard to maintain, but it should not be forced. I think that's what people mean when they say it's easy and hard.
Love is easy but circumstances are hard.
Love is not love if he or she causes you doubt and anxiety; or it could be that you are not ready for love if you have other things you need to work on.Nothing is effortless. If it were, all I'd have to do is look at a chick and she'd be in her knees in a heartbeat. Relationships are work (unfortunately). The key is to find the one that requires the least amount of work.
Its not easy but it shouldn't be hard to the point where you feel like your so dissatisfy by the way the relationship is going.
I feel like it should be easy to love someone but you two should have to face and overcome challenges together to make it a strong love. So both.
Both. Like a roller coaster. Once your up there it's easy to go down, but going back up is hard. Kind of makes sense.
Relationships are not effortless, you have to put energy and time into it, if you don't, they don't last.
Love and relationships take work. That "oh I love you so much, everything is perfect" feeling doesn't last forever. Once it fades, you need to work to keep the relationship going
It's hard, but the hard parts are what make it rewarding. Kind of like how running and lifting are hard but rewarding
i think its supposed to be easy. my boyfriend and i live in 2 different continents, and we've had ups and downs but after all its really easy to be together and I think it stays like that as long as its the right person
Kinda both. But a relationship that feels like hard work all the time is probably not very good.
hard cuz not everybody understands it.
actually, nobody understands it in the correct way (even myself)hey if its easy whats the point you need something to fight for
Love always makes this hard (pun intended).
i haven't witnessed a good relation that be hard.
if it was easy it wouldn't be a question
