Expectations

"...we all have a list of things we would like to have in our relationships. Some items are more important, some less. None of us will get everything we wish for.

...people who are maturing in life can acknowledge the pain of what they do not have, and grieve about it, rather than act out in anger and frustration.

That is part of life and love - working together to meet expectations. Face the disappointments while also looking for the larger meanings in your life together.

Couples who face the good and bad together can reach the deepest well of acceptance."
