Even though I am happily divorced, it still upsets me to hear about other couples breaking up and families being torn apart—especially when they seemed so happy and in love just a few years ago (and even more so when kids are involved).

Of course, every situation is different. Sometimes, there are truly inconceivable differences or betrayals that are harder—or even unhealthier—to overcome than to part ways. Sometimes the foundation the union is based on is not strong enough to begin with.

But it seems that many people today give up on their team too quickly rather than working things out. (A classic case of being stuck in our ego and perceiving the world only through the paradigm of our own “software.”)

Maybe it’s because we mature slower than previous generations (have you seen your parents' or grandparents' photographs at your age?).

Or maybe it’s the illusion of choice (tell that to the ladies in Dubai, where 69% of the population is male 😂).

Some of us have watched too many Hollywood romcoms, idealizing love and refusing to settle for anything less than toe-curling passion.

Or maybe we’ve become so comfortable and set in our own ways—our aspirations, habits, and desires—that compromising with another human feels almost impossible. We start valuing peaceful solitude more than the “chaos” of coexistence.

Either way, a huge shoutout to all the couples who, despite the occasional downs, continue to strive for the ups—together ♥️

And if you need help understanding not only your own "software" but also your partner’s, I highly recommend booking a numerical psychology reading. It is guaranteed to shift your perspective on things and get closer to a more harmonized and beautiful relationship with yourself and your partner.
