The Couch

The Couch

Chris Rock said that relationships aren't hard. It just takes two people to do the work. Moving a couch is easy with two people. Try moving it by yourself, and it's hard as shit... Shall we?

I totally agree with Chris. Relationships aren't that complicated. If you have two people who are committed to the same vision, then problems {couches}, should be rather easy to move. But you have to be willing to have clear, respectful communication. There is no other way around it. I'm lucky. When I got married, I found a women who loved sex and nature. It was like the universe created her just for me. But more importantly, she loved to go deep. Not afraid of the tough conversations. She demanded the best from herself, and that is why she was perfect for me.

"I communicate to find what is right."

I spent just about my whole adult life meditating. There isn't any conversation I fear. I don't communicate to be right. I communicate to find what is right. For that reason, when life throws a couch at us, we move through it quickly. How about you? Is your relationship hard? Do you split the work load? Or, is one of you the only one moving the couch? Because if both of you aren't working, it doesn't matter how good the sex is, how much money you have, or any other distraction you can come up with...eventually the load will wear you down. 

Life...is going to throw many couches at you. Make sure you picked someone who is willing to help you move them. Because relationships shouldn't be hard. And no one wants an uncomfortable couch. 

Good read! Thanks for sharing!
