Have you ever
wondered why most relationships fail? There was a story I heard about a couple
that have been together for 15 years. All of a sudden the man came home one fateful evening and
told his wife that he’s no longer interested in the marriage because he no
longer finds her attractive.
Seriously! Did he expect the woman to look exactly like when he first met her after giving him four lovely kids? I couldn’t help but marveled how two people could split up after living together for such a long time. Such a case could only happen when one of the partners thinks that he/she has got other options

Have you noticed
that human beings tend to invest all their energy and time on something when it
seems that there’s no other way (option) out of that thing? The kind of flimsy
excuses couples give for leaving their partners and their relationships make
me wonder if they actually understood what the meaning of the word “love”
really is. The moment you see your partner as your only option, you see
yourself always thinking of ways to make your relationship workout no matter
the challenges you might be experiencing in such relationship.
When one of the
partners start thinking that there are other options, then he or she would
start exaggerating the faults of the other so as to justify their reasons for
leaving. There was a quote I got somewhere that says ‘love covers up a
multitude of sins.’ The love you have for your partner should propel you to
always want to give them your best and ensure that your relationship is a
success. But, the moment you stop seeing your partner as your only option, you
stop looking for ways to make your relationship work, rather you pray for it to
crumble so that you can go to your other option.
It’s only those
that think that they’ve got other options that stop fighting for the success of
their relationship or marriage. When you understand that your partner is your
only option, then you don’t struggle to give him/her your time, your dedication
and your affection. The way you relate with you partner and your relationship is
largely dependent on your response to this question, ‘is he or she your only
option?’
