Re: Relationship Deal Breakers...
Humanity never ceases to amaze me. I had hoped that I would never live to see the day when LOVE (as in a ROMANTIC relationship) is so completely ignored that there would actually be a book and a professional that would preach the obsolescence of LOVE in a romantic relationship and compare romance to a business relationship (yes, this generation has gone a little too far with commerce and technology, it's not just the
Cell Phone s, PDA's and networking).
"Dr. Bethany Marshall is here to remind women that relationships -- like business relationships -- are deals."
There used to be a show called "Let's Make A Deal" (it had nothing to do with love). Also, the notion that anybody should be preoccupied with being judgemental of their partner is a SETUP for a superficial relationship that is meant to fail. It's not that romantic relationships should depend completely on TOLERANCE, it's that they should be based on measuring "give and take". They should not be based on guidelines or an empirical formula, they should be based on the mutual creativity to be considerate of each other's feelings.
