The power of love, the struggle, the hurt and the solution in a relationship

A few years ago, my husband and I decided to have a date at the movies with a few friends to watch a love movie. When we got to the movies and walked inside the theater all the seats were taken. There were many people waiting for the movie to start. I was so excited and anxious to see this movie I couldn’t wait for the movie to start because this movie was going to be very interesting. The movie was about things that happen in a relationship in everyday life. This movie was so important to me not only because I was watching the movie with my husband, but because we were facing the same problem in our relationship.

The relationship becomes a routine. The struggles begin; at some time or another almost every healthy relationship suffers a breakdown where one or both parties are ready to walk out the door. In my case it wasn’t only the routine or the kids, my husband started training at the gym and Cross fit 5 days of the week but once he got accepted to compete on a TV show the 5 days of training turned into 7 days of training. At first I was ok, but then things started to get worst because we weren’t spending any time together. We both worked different shifts so by the time I got home he was already sleeping and when it was time for me to get up he was already gone. I struggle with this for a long time because even though I wasn’t happy I was afraid to let him know how I felt. I didn’t want to crush his dream since I always supported him. One thing my mother always used to tell me was “power …show more content…
I contact a marriage counseling and scheduled an appointment. On Monday morning, I went to my first appointment by myself, because I wanted to see what she suggested before I contact my husband. My first appointment was great, after my appointment I called my husband and invited him. He also agrees that we both needed to go to marriage counseling. The following week Thursday morning we both met at the doctor’s office we hug and smile at each other. When it was our turn to go inside to talk to the doctor he grabbed me by my hand and we both walked in. We sat and the first thing the Dr. Smith said: “ I’m glad you both walked in holding hands” She told us that sometimes expressing’s our feelings can be very hurtful to the other person, but she ask us shouldn’t you be honest about your feelings? If honestly expressing your feelings is hurtful to the other person, it’s not honest; it’s stupid, it’s insensitive, and it’s damaging to the relationship that’s why there is always a solution for a broken marriage. Our first visit was great she told us stuff that we never knew we were doing wrong. She gives us few tips on how to deals with a bad situation and to do things to bring our marriage back to life. After the appointment, my husband told me to go home and get

    The 1990s were arguably the best time for Romantic Comedies and also the birth era of the popular “chick-flick.” The ‘90s brought us directors like Gary Marshall and Nora Ephron whose feel good films left our hearts warm and stars like Julia Roberts with her clumsy relatability and Richard Grere with his suave demeanor. The ‘90s also brought Kathy Maio, feminist film critic. Maio’s 1991 book Popcorn and Sexual Politics is a collection of analysis of popular ‘90s films—especially Romantic Comedies. Popcorn and Sexual Politics aims to examine the role and portrayal of women on screen.…

    Relationships feel constant pushes and pulls of dialectical tensions—these tensions are ever present because they are inherent to the creation of long-lasting, and functional, relationships. Since these are ever present and ever important, knowing what they are and the strategies for handling these dialectical tensions are extremely important. There is a nuance to finding the balance between the poles, and between the people, involved in these relationships. These are not necessarily romantic either; dialectical tensions exist in every interpersonal relationship. Even though I have experienced these issues in every interpersonal relationship in my life, there is one notable situation where finding a medium between my needs and the needs of a romantic partner eventually created a rift so wide that we never recovered; having previous knowledge of these dialectical tensions and the methods…

    The film Susceptible to Kindness, arranged by Daniel Booth based on the play by David Feldshuh and several interviews, takes a more holistic approach to the question. As it plays on the heartstring of the audience it attempts to displace blame and make the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment an unfortunate event that happened in history. It first takes care to rename the important characters in the story, Nurse Eunice Rivers to Eunice Evers, Dr. Raymond A. Vonderlehr to Dr. Douglas, and the Dr. Eugene Dibble to Dr. Sam Brodus, and then it tells the story from the Nurse Eunice Evers perspective. Where she is allowed to defend herself, providing the final statement “They were susceptible to kindness… and I gave them all that I had.” In the play, Nurse…

    In the article “What Makes Marriage Work” Dr. John Gottman explores what factors are involved in a successful long lasting marriage, and how to minimize the factors that lead to divorce. Through using real life examples Gottman shows how in general arguments in relationships aren’t inherently bad, but to keep a relationship positive the amount of constructive interactions must greatly outweigh the quantity of destructive or negative interactions. To support this, a key idea of the article is the ratio of positive to negative interactions, or as stated “That magic ratio is 5 to 1. As long as there is five times as much positive feeling and interaction between husband and wife as there is negative, the marriage was likely to be stable over time.”…

    Throughout my lifetime, there has been moments of laughter as well as grief. But a moment in my life that was pivotal was when I first felt the love of my life, at the moment, fade away slowly from me and sort of detach from our relationship. The song by Christian Nodal- “Adios Amor” showed me how at times when the love fades between partners to the point where there is no love at all, you have to do your best to move on rather than spending time grieving the love that is lost. Therefore, the song “Adios Amor” gave me the tough realization that some relationships are best to let go of if they don’t work as a young adult, and will continue to guide me throughout my life.…

    This passage from Khaled Hosseini’s 1000 Splendid Suns is significant because it touches on a theme that is apparent throughout the entirety of the book: love. The passage describes Laila’s feelings towards her mother's depressive state. Laila fears that her mother will kill herself so she hides anything Fariba could use to take her life and when Babi notices that items are mysteriously disappearing he confronts Laila causing her to admit to the fact that she has been worrying about her mother’s life. Babi comforts her and assures her that Fariba wouldn’t do that, but leaves Laila with the pain of knowing that she is not the reason her mother has a will to live.

    The portrayal of love in Much Ado About Nothing is divided among many characters relationships; love is depicted to be a complex series of events starting with an initial honeymoon stage, followed by deception driving the relationship into failure and then giving it strength to regain its allure.

Shakespeare uses Hero and Claudio throughout the book as a principal couple, Hero is an ideal wife and Claudio is the most perfect man in Messina.
