How To Grow Old Together

Unhappy people who think that ending their marriage would make them
more pleased are frequently living a myth. Chances are that theyve
ascribed the failure of the marriage to their mate, relinquishing
introspection. Blaming the other rather than oneself becomes the favorite
pursuit, the handiest means to walk away.
By failing to admit their own debilities, and not recognizing that theyve
entered the marriage with absurd demands and unrealistic expectations,
they unconsciously freed the forces leading to a likely separation.
Theres likewise the phenomenon of short memories. Somehow, the same
people who vowed to support one another have forgotten their
commitment and vows to love one another through thick and thin.
