just came across some paragraphs in the newspapers,

Finding the love of your life
Posted by Clarrissa at blog.thestar.com.my
As little girls, many of us have preconceived ideas of the ideal man who will sweep us off our feet later in life. When the day comes, you find yourself head-over-heels in love with that special someone, but he’s nothing like the man you imagined. While he isn’t the prince charming you’ve always dreamed about, he is so much more.
The reality is that love finds you when you least expect it. And the person you fall in love with is the one you feel an inexplicable connection with and an indescribable desire to be with.
Perfection becomes what you see in your mates, both strengths and weaknesses, and you realize the ideal man is not the prince who gives you everything but the dark horse who teaches you how to love not only him, but you yourself as well.

very well said ..

Extract from reply given by Big Bro column
" We go into relationships because they make us whole. They allow us to show our love and be loved. Sure relationships bring with them some amount of heartaches, and they can arise from a multitude of causes from differences of opinions, values, annoying habits, etc.
For two people to grow a relationship between them, they have to spend time nurturing the seed that they’ve planted, digging around to aerate the soil and make it a conducive environment for a young plant to take root. If they don’t communicate, don’t spend time together, the drought and lack of nutrients will kill the seeds planted at an earlier time when the soil was wet and fertile.
