    This is all simple knowledge that everyone knows, but due to the level overall respect that continues to degrade throughout society, these things are overlooked.

    relationships are not difficult when you base them on open communication, respect, honor, and love. And when you are married, holding true to the vows you make.

    Very true. I just think we all get so caught up in our routines and our daily busyiness (yes, I meant to misspell) that we take each other for granted and forget these "little things". At least I know I am guilty. So this was a good reminder.

    While on the verge of divorce with my husband, I can only wonder with a tear in my eye, if him knowing that any of these things matter would be of use, or if it has been too few or too many of these things for too long?

    Glad that I am not the only one who "needs" these things. Or that having or not having them has ruined other relationships not just mine.

    Sorry- This is a little personal

    Love #10 made me think of the episode of Miranda in Sex in the City.

    So sorry you are going through that as I have been there. Is it possible that maybe its not too late? Worth a shot!

    I'm there now... and a number of these things are so true it stings.

    There's a pile more that led to our downfall, but these little bits certainly contributed to it.

    Thank you for sharing. :)

    Complacency runs rampant...and it all starts with respect...respect for yourself and who you are.

    I hate this dude's blog. He had a controversial topic awhile ago about Costco Dad.

    Why is it we see things so much more clearly AFTER the fact? I guess hind sight is 20/20 after all.

    Do Over, anyone?
