Title: Make Up or Break Up
A relationship or a marriage cannot be successful if there’s no compromise, respect, love, communication, and most of all trust between a man and a woman. With these basic common rules two people who are in love can have a successful life together as husband and wife or boyfriend and girlfriend. Sometimes a person will involve him/herself in chaotic relationships where one person is putting their heart as well as their energy into a vague relationship and the girlfriend or boyfriend doesn’t care or isn’t putting in anything at all. What is the use of a man/woman staying in a relationship where their “soul mate” doesn’t care two cents about them?
On the other hand, the boyfriend/husband will treat their girlfriend/wife with much royalty, love, and respect. The man will worship the grounds this soul mate is walking on. Other times, the husband/boyfriend will absolutely adore the woman who they’re with all the time. There are most women who will stand behind their husbands/boyfriends through the ups and downs. The woman will not leave his side no matter how bad the storm has gotten. It’s something when the wife/girlfriend is called “a ride or die chick.”
In a marriage or in any relationship, a woman cannot be dominant over her husband and vice versa. A marriage and a relationship works as a two way street, not a one way street. In order for a marriage to work there has to be a steady flow of commitment by two people loving one another, honoring one another, and most importantly becoming a backbone to one another.
There are plenty of elderly couples around the world, essentially in the United State of America who have been married for nearly fifty-sixty years, because they stayed committed to each other during the wonderful years and the hectic ones. Everyone should understand a relationship or a marriage isn’t always a smooth ride. It can tend to become a bumpy rollercoaster ride. However, young relationships don’t always last given the man may want to be dominated or the woman wants to be dominated; or there’s less communication, unfaithfulness, as well trust issues, and having other men and women getting involved into the picture.
Another reason why a relationship doesn’t last long is because of something called “long distant” relationships. Those can be the most absolute hardest relationships a woman/man will find themselves in; for the apparent reason that the woman might live in North Carolina and her boyfriend lives in Pennsylvania. Sure there’s communication over the phone, but it can be a heavy strain on a couple who wants to see each other. It doesn’t even matter if they live in the same state but different counties miles apart from each other, it’ll absolutely put a strain on the relationship.
Lastly, it takes valor from both man and woman to endure the pain, the happiness, and walking through heavy storms together in order to make it out alive. Most marriages/relationships tend to fall apart given that both man and woman simply don’t want to work out their problems by facing them head on. In order to have one happy marriage or just one happy relationship, it takes two. Either make up or break up.
