I have been reading a lot of books lately but I could not forget a book that I came across which made a big impact on me. Tuesday with Morrie by Mitch Albom. This book shed a lot of good insights in regards to life in general. The best line that got stuck in my head is "
there are a few rules i know to be true about love and marriage: if you don’t respect the other person, you’re gonna have a lot of trouble. if you don’t know how to compromise, you’re gonna have a lot of trouble. if you can’t talk openly about what goes on between you, you’re gonna have a lot of trouble. and if you don’t have a common set of values in life, you’re gonna have a lot of trouble”. I guess this really stuck to me because I was divorced then and there was a lot of things wrong with that relationship. Whether we both admit that in someway or the other just merely compromising and sacrificing something to save the relationship was hard to do. I envy the old couples that would still go out on dates and flirt with each other despite the years of being together. I know not everybody can be that lucky but I do wish I would be part of that percent that would feel that kind of love.
