Do we stick it out, looking for the flutters as icing on the cake, or give up? How much work is too much in a relationship? And remembering why we married them in the first place. It's like a check on ourselves to keept he practise of the relationship going.Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14947952583116323744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-1944566533906231552008-06-17T21:11:00.000-04:002008-06-17T21:11:00.000-04:00In India they have a saying "when poverty enters t...In India they have a saying "when poverty enters through the door, love flies out of the window"<BR/><BR/>I guess the word poverty could be replaced by the word "house work" in the US :D<BR/><BR/>Yea...I guess we all notice that when what once belonged to the temple fall down to belonging to the marketplace with the word commitment, things begin to turn somewhat dry...Monahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615034229525061880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-57494517928577156842008-06-17T11:24:00.000-04:002008-06-17T11:24:00.000-04:00I tend to think people are really lazy these days....I tend to think people are really lazy these days. They don't work at a relationship. Don't want to. Maybe they think it's easier to divorce and search again for the "flutters". Silly.
