Questions Before Commitment

Book excerpt: Almost everyone enters into a relationship in the honeymoon stage of dating. It is fun at first-the physical attraction, the cute first moments, and the dating adventures. This beginning is called the "meeting of the two representatives." When the two meet, they are meeting each other's representative or the person they would like the other to "think" they really are. And so, at first, it seems as if the two of them have very much in common. There may be many signs of discord among couples, but these signs are often overlooked by the animalistic attraction or the need to find that "special soul mate." Later, as the relationship progresses, the couple realizes that they were not suited for one another.
