“How to get my ex boyfriend back” Versus ”Healing a broken heart”

Where ever we go we see love. Often it seems that the only problem in this world is love. 80% of what’s projected from the television screens deals with the topic. Right around the corner is the next love series like the O.C. Even the history channel will talk about some queens medieval affair. Same goes for published media. The romantic section is probably one of the biggest ones and titles like how to get your ex back are readily available. In celebrity magazines we see the same thing. Most of these celebrities took part in a film that was about love.

 

It’s so evident that it’s not even worth mentioning. We are clearly preoccupied by romance.

Even though it sounds bad, I think it’s a good thing. I actually think that some industrialized countries should concentrate more on love. These countries see a diminishing population. There, a lot of people are more preoccupied with their careers and less with the family. T.V and Radio pays more attention to one’s wallet size than the family size. It’s not to say that there are no “love” shows in those countries. But I think media should concentrate less on the drama and more on the positive. They show cheating adventures of a husband as if it was the norm. Why not show a faithful husband that comes home to spend time with his kids. Books that talk about how to get over an ex don’t help either. Why is it so hard to find a book that will explain how to fix a relationship and help you get your lover back after a bad breakup? Books that make you fight for your love and not give up should be more prevalent. When was the last time you saw a best seller like that?

 

Southern parts of the U.S have staggering separation rates (1 in 3 separate. When will this end? Those are mind blowing statistics! Did people stop trying to fix their problems and simply abandon ship? I think that almost all problems have a solution. Even if one of the union members is cheating, doesn’t mean the couple has to breakup. There must be a reason for this infidelity. Could it have been avoided if the husband was more attentive? May be this was caused by a miscommunication between husband and wife. Big things can be accomplished with minor tweaks. It’s been said that the top reason why wives go to look elsewhere is the lack of recognition.

Therefore it becomes clear that we should value our partner. Let’s concentrate on similarities and not the differences. Let’s be understanding and patient towards each other. We can choose the feelings of fondness instead of hatred. Because in the end of the day love always prevails.
