- Holly commented on the movie relationships entry: "... real relationships take lots of work, aren't always easy, are more about Partnership than Love ..."
Just one thing to add .... methinks that marriage has become a partnership partly due to how rather busy and complex the American lifestyle has become. I reckon life five decades ago was a bit simpler: eat, sleep, pray, rinse and repeat. Nowadays, everyone loves to choose and to indulge in every fantasy while balancing an overbooked workday and later-night party life. Books, mags, advertisements bombard one's frail psyche w/ all sorts of devilish vices and temptations, thrusting fear to your insecurities. All these factors disassemble a person, what do you think it does to the bonds between a relationship? It might, it might not.
Deep down it's all about love. Then, maybe, life would be simpler and a tad easier.
Then again, I could be completely wrong.Labels: life, philosophy, relationships

h: Love is a necessary foundation, but never enough for the long haul. I agree that things have gotten more complex: I bet that if marriage in "the olden days" was simpler it was because most people didn't see themselves as having so many OPTIONS all the time.

Love is such an umbrella word, too, and means different things to different people. I love M partly because we communicate well, trust each other, and have shared long term goals, after all.- yahooza:
