However, if more couples made careful choices up front, resulting in a lowering of the rate of failure of relationships, the world we live in would be a much happier place. We owe it to ourselves, and to any current or future children we may have, to make wise choices of relationship partners. Before making a commitment, each partner should first ascertain whether or not he or she is ready to create a healthy relationship, and then ascertain whether or not the two people are compatible. Finding a compatible partner is only the beginning. Compatibility does not mean that there will never be conflicts or challenges.
Love takes a lot of work.
Both partners must be willing to make an effort, daily, to create and maintain a healthy relationship. This effort is well worth it. By carefully choosing your partner up front, and by doing the work to keep your relationship healthy over time, you and your children will live much more fulfilling lives. All rights reserved.
