' How to get back together' vs. ' Getting over your ex'
Love is all over the place. Sometimes it seems that the only problem in this world is love. Every 3rd T.V channel will have something on, that discusses romance. It seems to be especially true in North America. Oprah will be pushing another romantic novel and on the next channel some guy with super powers will be flying off with his gorgeous girlfriend. Same goes for published media. Many book covers are sporting pictures of roses, sunrises and sunsets promising the reader a roller coaster of romantic emotions or even advice on how to get over an ex. In magazines celebrities are hunted down by paparazzi. They publish information about celebrity breakups and cheating.
We are clearly obsessed by the subject and everything that's related to it.
Some people might see it as something negative. I personally think it's great. Especially in countries like Canada and Russia. Because their number of citizens is slowly going down. In many of those countries people think more about their work and how they will succeed in life. While in reality success is often a matter of having a good family. T.V and Radio pays more attention to one's wallet size than the family size. There are still plenty of love shows and other romantic media. Alas, they show scenes of drama and tragedy, we don't see enough family happiness and unity. They show cheating adventures of a husband as if it was the norm. Why not show a faithful husband that comes home to spend time with his kids. We see the same trend in printed media. There are now more and more books that explain how to get over a bad breakup. Titles that talk about how to get your ex boyfriend back are rare and far between. I personally believe that books like that should be more popular than the defeatist attitude ones.
In certain parts of the country 1 out of 3 couples divorces after a mere 2 years of marriage. When will it end? Those are mind blowing statistics! It's as if people decide to jump the ship and shop elsewhere too quickly. May be they should stick around and work out the differences instead. If a husband finds out that his wife is cheating he might jump the boat but... There must be a reason for this infidelity. May be it was caused by a grave mistake on the part of the husband? Could this be a one time thing, that can be prevented if the couple establishes a better spiritual connection? In many instances it is a small difference that makes a big change. They say that number one reason that makes wives leave is the lack of appreciation.
On that account, I suggest that we cherish each other. Let's concentrate on similarities and not the differences. Let's be understanding and patient towards one another. Let's choose affection instead of resentment. For we shall pass here but once.
