Trusting relationships

Lovely-dovey couples on the streets. Sweet-nothings over telephone calls. Roses on annual Valentine's day. Romantic surprises during special occasions. Couples holding each other's hands tightly. Couples have telepathy during daily life events. Couples missing each other every single sec. Journeying together during months of their relationships.

All the above sound familiar? All sound so sweet and romantic, right? Pre-requisities of a relationship? How true. However, what if these happened:

Bickering with each other over nothing. Neglecting the other coz of other commitments (eg.work). Forgetting appointments with each other. Taking each other for granted. Doing things that the other is not happy with. Not understanding each other at times. Intruders in the couple's lives. Boring couple life. No more sweet surprises from each other. Not thinking of each other as much. Not having enough faith in their relationships.

My point to blog this is not to show that I am not confident in relationships anymore. I would like to ponder upon the question on what builds a relationship. Coz recently, I have seen more couples breaking up than usual. Some due to lack of faith. Some coz of personality uncompatibility. Others coz of unfortunate events (eg. coming from a different background/country). Or even coz of stupid reason like no time, boring couple life or too used to each other. See I used the word - stupid? Ya I think it is.

Coz I think that the last eg. of a broken r/s was really dumb. If a couple's life is boring, I reckon that something should be done to improve it and not say give up. Coz if a r/s is given up on this basis, any future r/s will not work out because this reason is just too user-friendly. And one point to note is both should work together to improve coz it takes two hands to clap, no point only having just one trying to make the effort(of coz it won't work). Unless if both really thinks that there is no point of return, then I shall not say anything more.

Any other reasons I mentioned, I think it is a real pity. That's what lead me to think more about trusting relationships and making them work. Real hard work, I can't beg to disagree. If love is such an important component, why people still do not trust each other? Coz love is built on trust, isn't it? When you love, you got to trust too. A fine example is when you love God, you trust God too. Of coz, loving God is different from loving your significant other. But the theory applies - Love and trust. Though some r/s broken, there are others which did last. All the best to all couples and believe in one another and in your r/s.
