Relationships are the greatest example of living breathing and exuding leadership qualities. When we recognise that no one is perfect and a certain percentage of the balance is not up to par and no matter how we look at each other know that all of us are a wee bit under par.

That being recognised we may advance to a strategy to further our advancement and remain a union 'till God calls us home. The majority are honest to goodness decent people and we become attracted to another because we see something that is alluring and so we venture into that relationship. We trust the opposite is also true and life as a couple begins.

The opposite to divorce is a successful marriage and if 50% remain married then 50% need to start doing some work when trouble rears its ugly head. Why couples get off the marital train without as much as a drop of effort to try and work things out escapes all sense of reasoning. We need to learn what makes 50% successful so the odds of success will advance towards 100%

Many couples drift apart because they advance in opposite directions or come to a Y in the road and walk separately and gradually a separation hearing is scheduled. Normally before a storm there is a change in light, a change in the wind and the birds and animals behave differently in preparation of the oncoming storm.

Humans are different as 50% have proven especially in the past 50 years and the shutters are lowered after the storm and heads are held low asking how this could have developed so far. In relationships both parties are leaders in their own respective ways and have faculties that have complimentary benefits and need to be nourished for mutual gratification.

If you are advanced in your relationship and desire to maintain it steadily then it behooves you to encourage each other in every way. Getting bent out of shape over trivial matters is nonsensical when the benefits in the big picture outweigh the small annoyances.

As leaders in your relationship choose a strategy that will enhance and continually invigorate your depth of commitment and love. There are tons of resources for self improvement and remember although the grass is greener beyond the horizon it still has to be mowed and there is no getting away from working in a committed relationship and the rewards pay dividends that Wall St would be proud of.
