I definitely think I have this in the correct forum Category. I also think it is a somewhat "new" Topic.
I want to know what people think is the "real" problem with relationships these days.
Is it any of the following or do you have the answer;
Internet Dating Patience Narcissism Greed Independence Fear The economy?
What do you think is a major contributor to our relationship issues?
I personally can only find fault in myself. If I allow any of the above to enter into my concerns or hamper my ability to "connect and stay connected" then I can say that I am to blame as those are but mere outside influences.
So... again, my question is really simple. What is the root cause of the majority of relationship failures today? In your opinion

Humans have become lovers of self more than lovers of God. If we did take time out to understand just a bit of how much God loves us and how much His tender mercies are towards us, we'd understand the kind of relatonship he desires for us to have with him and that knowledge would help us relate to one another even better.
Most of us are after what we can get from the other person instead of checking what we can add to other peoples lives.

selfishness-(dis is wen d tot is only dependent in wot we can gain 4rm d other person in anyway possible)
uncompromising attitude-(wen one is not willing to give in a little bit to accomodate d other)
greed-(wen we dont appreciate wot we hv nd b satisfied wit it)
competition-(dis begets jealousy...nd a derivative 4m being greedy)
cheating-(an outcome of our being insatiable nd unappreciative of wot we got or have)
deception-(trying to eat our cake nd wanting it back...which begets lying nd mistrust)
trying to be wot we not
amongst others.....etc!
but it takes little or no effort to be in a wonderful r/s... being content wit ourselves... appreciating wot we hv... loving or taking someone for who nd not what he/she is... being accomodative-(willing to give in a little to accomodate d other) being ourselves nd trying not to impress no one.
think!....it takes a little effort to live happily ever after.
d lists r endless

breakups from a relationship can be avoided easily if we can only recognize the problem....i belive there are 3 major reasons why relationships fail.
1. Compromising- some ppl think it will take away from who they are as an individual.
2. Trust- is having the confidence in ur judgment to trust yourself to trust your partner. Before you day "I Do," you need to ask yourself, do I trust my intended?
3. Finance- It is a fact that more relationships go sour at times of financial need than when the cash is flowing reasonably freely.
Flirtation: Attention without intention.
