The Modern Siren

It’s not supposed to be so hard, is it?

You do the work, you get a paycheck, you put some money away and you plan for the future you want to have with your wife (spouse).

But the bills pile up and the plan you had isn’t realistic, or even a far-fetched dream… it’s just not going to happen.

Is this a reason to argue? No, of course not.

But sometimes the only way you feel you can be heard is when you start off with something else and then you start yelling… and you can’t understand why you’re not being heard.

You have to stop the yelling.
You have to stop the cutting remarks.
You have to stop and listen and ask why things are the way they are before you start laying the blame at someone’s feet.

Love doesn’t have to be so hard.
Life’s events don’t need to be so dramatic.

You are half of a whole. Be the good half and find the good half in your partner. It’s there. Just stop, listen and stay calm.
