Happily ever after
April 18, 2009 – 10:18 pm
When you hear something like “…and they live happily ever after”; it sounds like someone is concluding a story with a happy ending. It sure sounds like a romantic story, but in real life, the ‘…happily ever after’ might be just the beginning of the whole story. With a divorce rate inclining each day, one can imagine how the love birds, once who were crazy about each other, are now in the verge of a breakdown, and divorce is an only option. But there are some who live their life together for many years, hand to hand, till the end and they are the one who make that fairy tale a reality that you used hear.
Life spins faster than you ever imagine, and to find a long lasting relationship, it is not always about finding a perfect partner. Looking for the one who to blow your sock off, intensify your emotion, or make you crazy; they only exist in an imaginary world and in the movies. Many people believe that in order to lead a happy life, you need an ideal partner. It is not about finding an ideal partner to make an ideal relationship, but an effort is required from both sides to create a happy and long lasting relationship.
So, when you think you found an ideal partner, or a perfect love, you make a plan to get married, but always remember one thing, not all married lives are successful, and sooner or later, you could be also in the verge of divorce. So this can happen to anyone at anytime.
Now, when you choose a perfect partner, or an ideal mate, you need to find out in what way you are similar with your partner. Obviously, you can compare that in terms of your goals, morals, self-values, decision making abilities, and other psychological entities. Spend some time with your mate; a short vacation is a very good idea because you can then evaluate his or her behavioral action in new environment. This is good learning ground for you to understand the interpersonal human interpretation of your mate! In most cases, an unhappy marriage or love relationship exists due to stress in work, distrust, money problems and other minor things. Overcoming all these factors can definitely put you upfront and live happily ever after just like a fairy tale.
