I think having a staged competition to compete for “the love” of someone on a prime time TV show is the recipe for disaster. Would it ever work? Doubtful. Love doesn’t work like that.

I did not actually watch this season but I did see the outcome and it was not a pretty one. You go on a show that showers you with great food, lots of people, a mansion, basically anything you could ever want. Any relationship is going to seem amazing. Then you go into real life together and back to work and you actually have to try in a relationship. The people on these shows need to realize finding love on a show is not true love until you’re faced with true life situations that you can honestly say you made it through together. Love can not be paid.

I agree with you. After more than 40 years of marriage you learn a lot about compromise, acceptance and fairness. But as today is a throw away society is that what’s happening in the relationship/marriage world. It wouldn’t be so bad except for the children that are involved.

Marriages are only put to test when chemistry is over . I read somewhere falling in love lasts just 7 months then you are on your own…We have to build a relationship on realism..love and respect for each other.

Well, if you see love as a verb instead of a noun then it will be defined by what you DO to love your partner. Random acts of love, good listening, solid support, anticipating their needs. Marriage is only successful in that context. It’s about what you do for your spouse on a daily basis.

I agree moving in with someone before marriage is a big mistake because take it from a man who has been there. although it is a good way to know somone before you get married but if he feels like he has you why get married then your relationship is kinda doomed and after you do get married then there is no surprise or anticipation..take it from me and wait.

"The real passion comes when each partner does acts of kindness….when they don’t feel like it."

That sentence really resonated with me. I couldn't agree more.

When emotions and chemistry are running high, it's easy to put on a front and be the perfect lover. It's when times are tough that you really see your true colors and how you really feel about each other.
