Relationships On The Go |
In this issue's news section, you'll read about an interesting study conducted by dating service It's Just Lunch that takes a closer look at peoples views on weddings, but from several different angles. How long should a couple date before getting married? Have you ever met someone at a wedding? Would you ever take a first date to a wedding?
The results are fascinating to read, even though the polls are not scientific. One thing you notice is that a large percentage of people in bigger cities feel that dating a year before getting married is appropriate while the majority of others feel three years is more appropriate. It makes me curious if a real scientific survey would find a large gap in the same area between those in bigger cities versus those in more rural areas. We know that politically there is a clear large gap and this may expand into dating too. People in bigger cities are generally "on the go" and everything is "rush/rush" - lots to get done with little time to get it done. Whereas many people in more rural areas seem a bit more laid back and less stressed.
If you are the type that is always on the go, you may want to pay special attention to this week's Relationship Tip. When an "on the go" person takes time to be a part of something important to their partner, it strengthens the relationship as a result. Yet that's not always easy to do because you may have a meeting to attend, report to finish, or a corporate dinner to be at. However, when you realize that the biggest regret older people have is not spending enough time with their family, you are given the opportunity to make sure that is a regret you never have. You'll find family time to be "recharge time" and you'll always be able to face your work with a fresh mind and great attitude because balance will have been restored to your life. |
