What's really important...

Do you ever wonder why relationships fail? Why marriages fall apart? Why kids run away? I know I have and I have come to a conclusion. It isn't a pretty one. I believe that it's because we have lost sight of what's really important in life. Is it the paycheck or is it your family? Is it the promotion or is it taking care of your kids? I have seen kids raise themselves, have kids and become a statistic in the system.

So the question is: what's really important? I believe that the key to all relationships, whether it be marriages, boyfriend/girlfriend, or interpersonal relations, is understanding, not respect, love, trust, or even patience, but it's understanding. Why? Because if you understand one another, there isn't anything that can't be overcome or accomplished.

I'll leave the rest up to you to think about... Find out what's really important....

  1. I have got to ponder on that one a bit longer. Understanding is the key to a longer lasting relationship? Hmm.. I don't know. I think it relates to communication which is another important factor aside from all of the other characteristics you listed.
