Random Thought...
I am a fan of PD's of A, however, when it crosses over into slurping and sucking one another's faces off in public, it has undoubtedly CROSSED the line. GET A ROOM for Pete's sake!

Why not?
I vaguely remember a time when I was carefree about relationships. It did not matter whether I was in a relationship or not. This time was many moons ago. An eternity ago or so it seems. During our younger years, many of us did not worry about who was by our side, about whether or not he or she danced with someone else at the school dance, about who broke up with who and if we did care, it was only for a split moment and then those cares were gone with the wind. Looking back, it seems like we were made of rubber so when we fell, we easily got back up and moved forward.
Sadly, as we get older, it takes us longer to get back up after a fall. The rubber has evolved to porcelain or glass. It is much more difficult getting into a relationship because you are more vulnerable to being let down and broken. Heartbreak could possibly be just around the corner. Why take the jump, the leap of faith, of opening your heart to someone else when most relationships near and far are being destroyed by selfish, meaningless moments of instant gratification?
Why is it that if we know how horrible it feels to give of yourself 100% and then to be crushed if the other person takes advantage of your trust, would we turn around and take advantage of someone else’s trust? Why not work extra to keep your relationship intact? Why not understand the meaning of karma and respect your partner by treating them the same way you expect to be treated? Why not realize the importance of having a meaningful, trusting, long-term relationship? Why not try experiencing a pure relationship, where outside forces do not penetrate the walls of your house of love?
Why not?
Inspired by the following quote…“When you’re young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. Then you grow up and learn to be cautious. You could break a bone, or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes, you don’t leap at all because there’s not always someone there to catch you. And in life, there is no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?” ~Carry Bradshaw, Sex and the City, Season 6, Episode 82 “The Catch”

Why so Many Divorces?
What are some of the major causes of divorce in the young couples of today? Many people in their late 20s are getting married and within 2 years are getting divorced. Why is that? Is it due to differences in values? Not meeting expectations? Financial issues? Change of Heart? Family pressure? Combination of many things? I would sincerely like to understand this 'epidemic' for a lack of a better word.

I am Yours and You are Mine
“I bet you’ve had a hard time walking into a room full of people on your own, right? I know what it is not to feel like you’re in the room until he looks at you or touches your hand or even makes a joke at your own expense. Just to let everyone know you’re with him. You’re his.” ~Patricia (The mother played by Kathy Bates) in the movie P.S. I Love You.
I have heard that when you are in love, you could be in a room full of people, yet feel completely and utterly alone, if the person you love is not there. Your very purpose for getting all dressed up and smelling extra special is so that your significant other, your other half, could notice you. For some odd reason, it does not really matter that every single person tells you that you look great, that your outfit is on point, that your perfume is phenomenal, if your “special someone” doesn’t get a chance to mention it. You do appreciate those comments, but the icing on the cake is when your loved winks at you, give you that smile you had been waiting for, brushes his cheek against yours and whispers softly in your ear, “Darling, you look perfect.”
Why is that? Why do we yearn for that approval? Why does it make our day/evening/weekend to be recognized by this single person? Also, why are we not complete until he is by our side? Is it due simply to sheer recognition? Recognition of who you are in his life? Why does it make us feel at ease to know that he is letting the rest of the world know that you are his and he is yours? In Steve Harvey’s book Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, Steve wrote about a man’s need to “Profess,” or claim you as his and how this shows that he truly loves you. “If your man loves you, he’s willing to tell anybody and everybody. ‘Look, man, this is my woman’ or ‘this is my girl,’ ‘my baby’s mama,’ or ‘my lady’.” {Page 21} Women may innately feel better about the relationship and themselves when their man is professing / claiming / showing the world that they are a couple.
Do men feel the same way? Do they seek similar approval from their lady? Would it matter more if 10 people (other women) told him he had a nice jacket/tie/pair of kicks, or if his girlfriend/fiancé/wife was the only person that mentioned it? Does a man want to know that his woman will stand by his side in a room full of people and show every single person in there (especially the men) that she is not available, that she is proud of being in a relationship with him?
Are we all the same when it comes to receiving recognition?

How does one obtain blind faith in relationships? Possibly through Time, Practice & Patience. This dance is an incredibly amazing rendition of the constant push and pull in relationships, the dance of love making. Utterly breathtaking.
