One of The Main Reasons Why Relationships Fall Apart

I had the priviledge to try out a BMW M5 at a BMW dealership. It is one of the most refined race cars that is ever built. The interior is all leather, the V8 engine produces 398 horse power, navigation system, and wow, you gotta try it yourself.

Enough said about the BMW M5, no matter how good the car is, or what ever the brand is, it can be Porsche, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maserati, or even Bentley. If you don't take care of them, they will eventually breakdown. It costs at least $500 to $700 to change the oil in the Ferrari Enzo and $27,000 to change the break rotors.

What's the point of telling me all those stuff, well a good relationship costs something! It has the price to pay, if you want a good relationship to last, you must be willing to pay the price. You must be willing to nurture it and take care of it! Otherwise, like the exotic cars, if you don't take care of them, they will eventually break and gone!

Let's talk about respect for a while, "Anything you don't respect, it will run away from you!" Try not to respect your girlfriend or boyfriend, eventually he/she will run away from you. Respect is so important, if you have a nice & fast car, you gotta have some respect for the horsepower and speed. If you don't have respect for the power of the car, speed can kill you. So "Respecting your friends, spouses, and boyfriend/girlfriends" is so important!

You gotta change oil in your car and do regular maintenance. The same thing with relationship, at least give your boyfriend or girlfriend a gift once in a while, not once a year! Give him/her complement on how special they are to you.

Remember "What you don't respect, it will flee away from you"

Yellow and Orange Flags in Relationships
It's been said that love is blind. It may also be deaf and dumb, but in this article I'll deal with the onset of blindness that occurs at the beginning of a relationship. When you first meet someone you're attracted to, your eye sight isn't 20/20. You don't/don't want to, see the person for who they really are. Just as the USA currently has a color coded terror alert, there is also a personal alert system that goes beyond the well known "red flags". I believe there are smaller warning signs of trouble up ahead. I call these: Yellow and orange flags.

To Love Forever
Emotionally healthy men and women almost always share their lives with lovers whose happiness is crucial to their own fulfillment -- even if they failed to understand the reciprocal nature of mutual satisfaction while they were young. In our youthful years we may be so filled with such intense sexual desires that we forget it really does take two to tango successfully for any length of time. If either lover feels deprived, the music soon loses its ability to charm us. As we learn to love a person deeply, we want both to be personally satisfied -- while also becoming a pleasing lover. Our sexual pleasure remains second rate unless the lover becomes a full partner in the intimacy. Of course, some neurotic persons use sex in a power play for ego benefits that have little to do with love. We insist -- all psychospiritually healthy women and men want to please the sweetheart with whom they share physical, emotional, and spiritual intimacy. Anything less is selfishness -- is prima facia evidence that one is still an emotional adolescent, grasping what he or she can in a short term relationship. Sexual selfishness and the potential for abuse that follows is always the result of one's serious emotional and spiritual failures.

The Evolution of Love

It is the basis of all our relationships in one form or the other. Despite knowing and understanding the need for it, we haven't been able to understand it well enough. It has evoluted and here is its story.
