'Boulders in the River'

There is always some kind of bickering that goes on between couples. It is the understated bickering and communication thereof that leads to a trajectory of deep understanding. Something the older generation believed in tremendously. It was easy for them to fight over issues than discuss them at length. To sit across the table and exchange views and counter views is a new age phenomena. An excellent one, i think.

There are such short lived relationships these days. Some marriages last for a few weeks, some for a few days (case in point Kardashian) and some are just a long drawn drag, smoke is barely there yet the addiction is difficult to kick. While all these relationships, i am sure, had begun with the vows of forever-ness and a honest intent to keep those vows. Forever-ness, somehow soon is forgotten and what is supposed to be for keeps is anything but that. Remorseful.

If one listens intently to the voices of dissent between couples, there would be strains of laughter, memories and love. They probably will realize that a few boulders in its course makes the river sing sweeter as its flows!
