Passion Power

A good friend is like a four-leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have. There is mutual trust that builds up in lifelong friends. William Shakespeare wrote, “a friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become and still, gently allows you to grow.”   I also believe that friendship is the secret sauce to a lasting marriage. There are many obligations in life and friendship should not be one of them. Friends aren’t there to live up to our expectations. If you put too much pressure on a friendship it will fizzle away. Friendships evolve as people do.   If we don’t see each other in a while we can pick up where we left off.   Sometimes we must forgive our friends because the friendship is more important than the grudge. I have friendship requirements, but it doesn’t matter what your status is.   You have to be a fairly positive person and a decent human being.   No haters and no victims. You must accept me...

One day your life just takes a completely different turn.  One partner doesn’t want to work on the marriage anymore.  They bail.  Give up for whatever reason.  Stop pretending you didn’t know it was a possibility that your marriage could end in divorce.  Statistics don’t lie.  It won’t happen to our love should be replaced with,  it could happen to our love. Here are 7 things I’ve learned about divorce. 1.      You become strangers quicker than you thought possible and everything you thought you knew about the other person was a lie. Your best friend becomes your enemy.  Pulling in the driveway feels uncomfortable so you park on the street. The person you slept beside is no longer allowed off the mat in your entranceway. 2.     You can’t control how your ex handles the divorce.   Why can’t we be friends?   Because it doesn’t work that way. How was your day is a loaded question now....
