Love is Just Not Enough |

Relationships are not like the movies. A movie tells us about the struggles it takes to find love. They work so hard to find each other but something causes them to miss each other or have a misunderstanding and they lose each other. Finally at the end, they find love and commitment and the movie ends…

In real life, that is when the work begins. It is not easy being with someone in a relationship. You have to learn to communicate, set goals, and put up with each other. It really comes down to making each other happy.

How do you make each other happy? I do not know, you have to ask them. It is not about assuming what makes them happy, it is about asking them and finding out.

I believe we work in our lives to always be happier. Relationships end because we are no longer happy in them. As long as we have conversations, as a couple, about what makes us happy, we should be able to grow and achieve happiness together. Our relationships will grow as well.

Michael- Just like having sex on the beach looks good in the movies, however in real life it is a completely different story, you get sand where you don’t want it. :o(
I have had a real challenge with a relationship (Not a Boyfriend) but a relationship that is important to me. He has been drinking and I couldn’t figure out how to help him. It turns out that he said he feels “empty inside” and I didn’t understand what that meant. I asked him if he would be happier if he moved somewhere else and he told me ‘NO’. I feel completely OVERWHELMED! because I am one of two people in town that he would call his friend. I just really don’t know what to do to help him. I told him that I love him, and that seemed to make him happy to hear. I am NOT in love with him! Now I feel that he might think that I have feelings that just don’t exist.
Any guidance from you would be appreciated! :o)
