What a Pickle we are in!
No matter who we are, or where we live, or what our cultural or ethnic background, we all have ONE common need: to love and be loved.
Love makes us blissfully happy. It puts a smile on our face and a spring in our step. When we are in love, all is right with the world. Life couldn't be better.
Then why do so many people have trouble getting love right? Why do so many marriages end in divorce? (1 in 3 in Canada) Why do families suffer the heartbreak of custody battles? Why do people keep repeating the same old mistakes over and over?
Well, it doesn't take a physicist to figure it out:
But wait a minute...
If we all want love and a fabulous relationship that will last and improve with each passing year, why then do we behave as though we are in a race to the finish line? What is the darn rush? It's like sending the first person to Mars without providing the training, tools and equipment they need for a successful mission.
So sure, you may have snatched the prize in your speed to get into a relationship, but it's a hollow victory when it doesn't last. You won the booby prize as it turns out.
And it was completely avoidable.
How?
By making intentional, conscious choices, with clarity, about who you are and what you want before you step one foot into the race.
When it comes to relationship choices, despite romantic promises and fantasies, there are no guarantees or predictable outcomes. But your chances of being successful increase dramatically when you pay close attention to your real needs and consciously make partner selections based on mutual compatability.
That's the key to finding a great match for you.

Well, it doesn't take a physicist to figure it out:
- We weren't born with a roadmap to guide us through the love traps; we learn (hopefully) by trial and error, but at what a tremedous cost to us and our families;
- When we are smitten by love logic seems to take a sudden, extended vacation, leaving a huge void for emotion and sexual passion to fill...and fill it they do...quickly! Is it any wonder that Stats Canada now reports that most divorces occur in the third year of marriage?
