Whatever it Takes

Something my teacher told us during class was that the average couples who are well on their way to divorce have 10 areas of incompatibility. On the flip side, he also said that the average of good happy couples have 10 areas of incompatibility. So really, what is the difference? The difference can be explained in many different ways. For me, I can observe my parents and see many qualities in their relationship that has kept them together overtime. Some things I have noticed are their willingness to forgive and apologize to each other, their open communication about everything (even saying that they missed each other) and their respect towards each other. These things I have noticed because they have been actively trying to perfect these traits for as long as I can remember. Lets say you are learning a new concept in your math class and it is pretty difficult. What will help you understand that problem more than continually repeating that equation until, finally, to your pleasure, you can do it without much thought at all. This, to me, is like anyone who wants to make a relationship successful. Like my parents, they continually try hard to forgive each other or tell each other that they love each other. So what makes the difference? In my opinion, hard work and dedication.
