Throughout history the quest for the perfect love has been an endless search. Lyrics, sonnets and love stories written, only feed the fire of our search. Every relationship has its ups and downs. The good days and bad days. It's how you as a couple deal with the ups and downs that determine whether you are a cell mates or a soul mates.
Love is the most vulnerable of all our emotions.
What life feeds you along the way to either nurture or discourage that love can determine which mate you take. However, just because someone has had a terrible childhood does not mean that they are destined to find a 'cell mate' rather, it means that there is extra work to be done in the relationship department. It takes a lot of work on both sides of the relationship and the insight to know when to quit when it's headed for the cell. Learning to love yourself is key to loving anyone else . When you respect and love yourself others will follow suit.
