Love is all over the place. I sometimes get the impression that everything evolves around it. 80% of what's projected from the television screens deals with the topic. There will always be another Dr.Phil giving a good relationship advice or another desperate house wife cheating on her husband before the big breakup. We see the same trend on Amazon. You can find a lot of titles that promise advice on how to get over an ex or even how to get your ex boyfriend back. Entertainment publications, talk about about celebrities. Almost all of those people became famous after taking part in a romantic film.

But this obsession with the topic has been there for centuries and I don't think it will change any time soon.

Please don't think I'm against it. On the contrary I'm all for love and think people should talk about it more, but in a slightly different form. Especially in countries like Canada and Russia. Because their number of citizens is slowly going down. There, a lot of people are more preoccupied with their careers and less with the family. Media praises money and riches and pays less attention to love. There are still plenty of love shows and other romantic media. Too bad that many of these shows display romance in a negative light. A movie that praises cheating such as desperate housewives should may be praise procreation. Same goes for books that give you the latest advice on how to dump someone or how to get over being dumped. Why is it so hard to find a book that will explain how to fix a relationship and help you get your lover back? I personally believe that books like that should be more popular than the defeatist attitude ones.

In some states there are a divorce rates of 40%. This is too much. Did people stop trying to fix their problems and simply abandon ship? I think that almost all problems have a solution. If a husband finds out that his wife is cheating he might jump the boat but... There must be a reason for this infidelity. Is it something that husband did not do? Could this be a one time thing, that can be prevented if the couple establishes a better spiritual connection? I think the 80 / 20 rule applies here too, where as 80 percent of the difference is caused by 20 percent of change. It's been said that the top reason why wives go to look elsewhere is the lack of recognition.

So let's appreciate each other more. Try to be more selfless and your partner will do the same. Let's be understanding and patient towards one another. We can choose the feelings of fondness instead of anger. Because life is too short to carry around the extra luggage of hate.
