Why do Most Relationships Fail? – The Myth of the Magical Other by Academy of Ideas “…more people look for salvation through relationship than in houses of worship. One may even suggest that romantic love has replaced institutional religion as the greatest motive power and influence in our lives…the search for love has replaced the search for God.”
What an excellent topic to pick for readers of TCTL, and the invaluable selected quotes from the authors.
Personally, I can identify all of my faults in my marriage to my late wife, the Love of My Life. We had plenty of arguments and would-be breakups, but stayed together as the good times outweighed the bad times which I was mostly responsible for, and ultimately, loved and cherished each other more during the last five years of our devotion and love for each other, then all the previous three decades, until her passing.
