The Love-marriage Relationship Challenge

<h1>The Love-marriage Relationship Challenge</h1>Author: <a title="Jacquelyn Jeanty" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/jacquelyn-jeanty/39497.htm">Jacquelyn Jeanty</a> Love relationships are one of the most emotionally challenging relationships we can enter into. The the love-marriage relationship takes the challenge to a whole other level.

Marriage relationships take on the tasks of commitment, obligation and expectation; all of which are in addition to the emotional aspects of the relationship itself. It's no wonder that less than fifty percent of marriages actually fulfill their vows, "til death do we part".

Commitment is not a real "hot button" issue nowadays. Today's American society is more into being independent, adventurous and bold. "Try something new," is our mantra. "If it's broke, get a new one," is our other mantra.

The core concept of the love-marriage relationship represents stability, commitment and continuity -all of which seem to run counter to the values being supported in this 21st century. In order to make a marriage work in today's society, couples must be willing and able to lay just about everything on the line to make the love-marriage relationship a top priority in their lives.

For something to be a top priority in our lives, it has to be something that we know inside and out -like a job, or a child's moods, or a recipe. To know something(or someone) is to be able to predict, to redirect, or even recreate it, at will.

The more a couple knows about how they, as a unit, work together -emotionally, physically, financially- the better chance they have of making the love-marriage relationship last.About the Author: J.A.

Fixing the Root of Relationship Problems

By: Jacquelyn Jeanty | 28/01/2008 | Marriage
What makes fixing a relationship so hard are the emotional issues that tend to take free reign when things go wrong. Once the importance of our relationship commitment starts to wane, problems tend to take on a life of their own. A weakened commitment to the health of the relationship is more oftentimes than not the root that threatens the life of the relationship. Commitment is the state of mind that makes dealing with relationship problems a clear, and more grounded part of our lives.
