' Getting an ex back' vs. 'Healing a broken heart'

by Robert Sinclair

Love is all over the place. I sometimes get the impression that everything evolves around it. Whenever you turn on the TV you will see a show about love. There will always be another Dr.Phil giving a good relationship advice or another desperate house wife cheating on her husband before the big breakup. Same goes for published media. You can find a lot of titles that promise advice on how to get over an ex or even how to get your ex boyfriend back. In magazines celebrities are hunted down by paparazzi. Most of these celebrities took part in a movie that was about love.

But this obsession with the topic has been there for centuries and I don't think it will change any time soon.

Some people might see it as something negative. I personally think it's great. Especially in countries like Canada and Russia. These countries see a diminishing population. Large number of people in those countries are brainwashed into believing that money is the most important thing. Media praises money and riches and pays less attention to love. Don't get me wrong, 'romantic' shows still get a lot of air time there too. 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. Same goes for books that give you the latest advice on how to dump someone or how to get over being dumped. May be we should see more titles that give advice on how to get your ex boyfriend back. I personally believe that books like that should be more popular than the defeatist attitude ones.

Southern parts of the U.S have staggering separation rates (1 in 3 separate. This is too much. It is almost as if people give up too easily on their current relationships. What happened to 'till death do us apart'? If the wife is cheating it does not mean the husband needs to breakup right away. What caused this infidelity? May be it was caused by a grave mistake on the part of the husband? Could it be a minor change in the way the couple communicated? Big things can be accomplished with minor tweaks. Many estranged women say that they left because they weren't getting any acknowledgment.

Therefore it becomes clear that we should value our partner. Try to be more selfless and your partner will do the same. Let's be tolerant to each other. We can choose the feelings of fondness instead of anger. Because in the end of the day love always prevails.
