Relationships

I've had several conversations in the past week with different people male and female about relationships. As I replay these conversations in my head, I've come to a conclusion. Every couple has to define their own relationship in a way that works for them and need to stop looking to society's traditional definition of relationships and the roles that men and women play in relationships. There is no magic potion #9 for relationships. Every couple and all relationships are unique. What works for 1 couple will not necessarily work for another couple. Every couple should identify their strengths and weaknesses as individuals then determine how to use those to define their relationships and the roles that they will carry out in their relationship. The days of Leave It to Beaver are gone.

There is no more male/female role playing. It's more productive and beneficial for couples to be open to stepping out of the traditional and instead walking in how their individual traits defines them as a couple. The man may be a better housekeeper and the woman better at finances. Instead of going on what society says, go by what works for your relationship. It takes off the pressure to live up to standards that aren't your standards and will probably cut the divorce rate in half. Find out what makes your relationship tick and go from there. Wouldn't you rather enjoy your significant other instead of being frustrated about roles that others are using to define who you are as a couple. Look to each other and not others to define your relationship and watch it grow in peace, understanding, and tranquility.
