Love is on everybody's mind. Sometimes it seems that the only problem in this world is love. 80% of what's projected from the television screens deals with the topic. There will always be another Dr.Phil giving a good relationship advice or another desperate house wife cheating on her husband before the big breakup. Same goes for published media. You can find a lot of titles that promise advice on how to get over an ex or even how to get your ex boyfriend back. Entertainment publications, talk about about celebrities. They publish information about celebrity breakups and cheating.

We are clearly obsessed by the subject and everything that's related to it.

Some people might see it as something negative. I personally think it's great. Especially in countries like Canada and Russia. These countries see a diminishing population. There, a lot of people are more preoccupied with their careers and less with the family. T.V and Radio pays more attention to one's wallet size than the family size. Don't get me wrong, 'romantic' shows still get a lot of air time there too. But I think media should concentrate less on the drama and more on the positive. A movie that praises cheating such as desperate housewives should may be praise procreation. Books that talk about how to get over an ex don't help either. Why is it so hard to find a book that will explain how to fix a relationship and help you get your lover back? In my humble opinion those things will do more good than harm.

In certain parts of the country 1 out of 3 couples divorces after a mere 2 years of marriage. This is too much. It's as if people decide to jump the ship and shop elsewhere too quickly. What happened to 'till death do us apart'? Even if one of the union members is cheating, doesn't mean the couple has to breakup. There must be a reason for this infidelity. Is it something that husband did not do? Could it be a minor change in the way the couple communicated? I think the 80 / 20 rule applies here too, where as 80 percent of the difference is caused by 20 percent of change. Many estranged women say that they left because they weren't getting any acknowledgment.

Therefore it becomes clear that we should value our partner. Let's look beyond things that differentiate us and concentrate on things that unite us. Let's be understanding and patient towards one another. Let's choose affection instead of resentment. Because life is too short to carry around the extra luggage of hate.
