Love is like being thrown in the deep end and learning to swim without having had swimming lessons.
Isn't it?
Well okay, maybe you're one of the lucky ones who have an innate understanding of what it takes to fall in love and make it last a lifetime.
Not many of us have that inbuilt instinct.
Or am I wrong?
I have started this blog to offer what I have learned about relationships, both of the falling in love kind and the getting on with other people kind and, yes, even the love thy neighbour and the love thine enemy kind.
Oh yes, the love thy enemy kind is the hardest and yet the most crucial of all.
One famous and very successful Australian businessman is said to have declared that to love your enemies will drive them crazy.
It's true because I've tried it and it works.
Perhaps a better term would be that it totally disarms them.
Let me return to the more obvious aspect of relationships, that is, to find your soul mate in the first place, then to make that soul mate relationship last.
Not an easy call, as you would know.
But one of the most important messages and advice I have to offer is, broadly, that from what I see around me and, more often, in the TV sitcoms and dramas is that we're basically doing it all wrong.
Shocking?
Sure, but true.
Or why is there so much conflict today in real life?
Not only domestic conflict and misunderstanding but also life in general.
Another shocking truth is that we really don't understand how to relate to EACH OTHER.
I hope I have shocked you enough to want to read more of what truths I have to offer in the field of personal relationships.
Of the intimate kind and the domestic kind and the life in general kind.
