Sad complicated and complex issues couples face today

 

 

Love is like a seesaw, both sides can go up or down. It's a matter of give and take but hope it's about giving A lot more than you ever take with respect It takes two to tango you both have to want to work on Through listening patience and communication, seeing things from their perspective on their side and asking them how it feels for them and if you can Make amends forgive and let go Having kids and finding the time when you work Can build hurdles you are just too tired or unmotivated to jump Like so many countless couples have to contend with today With just too many complications and other commitments, your head is in a spin And rows over matters can build the pressure till we blow our tops it's never easy and it is something that we may not both agree on and it's our right to have a different point of view If it really matters then it may be better if you can talk it through Plans don't always turn out like you, expected them to do No one knows what tomorrow may bring And you have to rationalize your priorities whatever is more important to you.

You are right Peter, most relationships if not all go through similar things and I dont think it has anything to do with love... its about how a human thinks and behaves in the complexity of relationships.. nicely written..

Hi hope you are OK my friend. I agree, After thinking about it and your comment. What a mess.I never thought how bad it is out there until I wrote this love has little to do with it, it's more like trying to keep our heads above the water. Life is so stressful and complicated today couples, have sometimes several jobs just to meet demands and make things enough just to live Thank you so much as always, Pete.
