Most problems in our relationships and marriages today started during the search for a romantic relationship, the choice of partner, and our decisions based on the dynamics of the relationship during the period of dating.

For instance, my parents, even after living together for many years, disagree on several important issues and aspects of life.

Initially, it puzzled me. Like "… why should they still have contrary opinions on these issues after many years of living together?"

Later, it didn't surprise me that much.

I found out that, in their days, there was no such thing as dating before marriage.

My parents got married without dating

…

In the words of Richard Branson:

"There are no quick wins in business - it takes years to become an overnight success."

A few months ago, I introduced a friend to writing as a side hustle. A few weeks later she quit. …

Regrets from failed relationships are one of the most difficult life issues to deal with. Those regrets can go as far as affecting our next relationship. They may even make us stay away from getting into a relationship altogether. Which is not good in the long run.

But every day, young people get into these situations without even realizing what they are getting themselves into.
