I've been thinking a lot about relationships lately. How they fail and why some succeed against all odds.
There are so many reasons relationships fail. In a world of instant gratification, we give up easily. In a world where anything is possible, we move on too quickly. We think the grass is greener. We neglect the people right in front of us and seek connection online. We are selfish. And let's not overlook the growth industry that is abuse - physical, emotional and sexual. But at the root of them all, the source of all relationship failures is lack of respect. When we don't (or stop) respect our partners relationships begin to crumble.
Without a deep foundation of respect, love cannot grow. Without true appreciation for the person we share the greatest part of our life with; there is nothing. Cracks begin to show and soon everything comes crumbling down.
