Love!!! What is love what does it mean?
What does love mean to you there are many different meanings to love and the way it follows you through your teens to adult hood. Love in adulthood can be turned into romantic love which in turn can become complicated. However we learn what love is from our parents and can discover where and how to become a wonderful caring partner in life.
Love and relationships have come along way from being married at the age of 18 and a stay at home parents and wife to becoming and hard working parents and wife. Divorces are not frowned upon and are now accepted into our world. However there are women and men who are not accepting of this love and are abusive to their mate and this is however getting worse it was always bad but became known more to us in the past few years. I find this horrible and embarrassing to marriages.
There is something that is just not right and there should be some more changes. How do you feel about marriages and relationships? What is your in take on abusive situations.
love and relationships, to me, is a valuable gift. I think that most couples take it too lightly, in which turns marriages into divorce. which is sad.
ReplyDeleteI think relationships need to be taken seriously. In my opinion, each person entering the relationship needs to be totally committed and willing to work on hard times with the other, and visa versa.
ReplyDeleteAs far as abuse, I am totally and completely against it. I was in an abusive relationship for 2 years with my son's father (he is no longer in the picture)and it is something that I would never wish on anyone. In my opinion, men/women who abuse their significant other are pretty low. Being unhappy/not wanting to make things work is one thing, abusing someone you are in a relationship with is completely unacceptable.
Great Blog!
I think that many marriages could be made stronger if the language was more explicit. "For better or for worse" is okay, but it's too familiar - it's just a recitation now. Perhaps something like this:
ReplyDelete"I understand that a marriage is work, sometimes incredibly difficult and unfulfilling work. I understand that we will break each others' hearts sometimes. I understand that we are two different people."
I've seen a lot of marriages/committed relationships fall apart because the people involved didn't really understand this. They had a shallow, happy-all-the-time image of a relationship. And usually they didn't have a realistic image of themselves, either - something I was thinking about when reading Erikson's assertion that if you haven't resolved "Identity," "Intimacy" is hopeless.
