Erosion of Love

Do you remember that time when just loving each other was the right fit: Respect, honesty and mutual agreement made the relationship fully legit. Now-a-days, relationships are of different types and ways of getting knit; Monogamy died, producing Open, Complicated, and Friends with benefit. Desires yearning more for sex, fun, and frolic – not mindful of commitment; Relationships no longer based on mutual love, but on making a public statement. Why have proper morals, values and principles of proper courtship depleted? Is it because respect, honesty and love; selfishness has completely defeated? Food for thought, a delicate matter on which to ponder; analytically wonder; Since when was a person’s heart something to be uncaringly cast asunder? We must! We must return to mutual respect, honesty and love in relationships; It is still mutually beneficial before marriage to have friendships, then courtships. It is still awesome to get to know, understand and appreciate your partner; To be aware of tendencies and find grounds of compromise; in every matter. It’s still important to be satisfied by your partner, and the ‘issue’ is not about sex; To hold your peace and tactfully find amicable solutions, even when one is vex. It’s still thoughtful to know the morals and value on which your partner stands; Their dreams, and desires and on which part of your life they will make demands. Simple tit-bits that many courting couples have regrettably taken for granted; Their relevance is crucial to good relationships, and should not be discounted. So listen to me, ladies and gentlemen this advice is truthful and fully sound; Akin to a productively fruitful tree securely planted, in nutritious ground. End By: Dion Penville
