SAINT BERNARD

It takes a lot of experienceof life to see why some relationships last and others do not. But we do not have to wait for a crisis to get an idea of the future of a particular relationship. Our behavior in little everyday tells us a great deal.

We only need to ask ourselves, "Am I ready to put the other person first?” If the answer is yes, if thwe answer is Yes, that relationship is likely to grow deeper and more rewarding with the passage of time, whatever problems may come. If the answer is no, that relationship may not be able to withstand the testing that life is bound to bring. Sooner or later self-will is going to rebel when things don't go its way, and whoever happens to be closest, will likely bear the brunt of it.

Relationships breaks down not because people are bad but because they are illiterate in love. To become literate in love, we must learn how to reduce our life long preoccupation with our own needs and feelings
