377. ALL PAIN, NO GAIN — PART I

   Women discover the hard way that relationships don’t develop well or work smoothly. Most pass through something akin to the following sequence of major events. Entry, exit, pregnancy, and childbirth may come after any of several wayside stops:

THE FAST LANE TO PAIN

HOOK UP,

LINK UP,

KNOCK UP,

SHACK UP,

MARRY UP,

MUCK UP,

SPLIT UP,

PAY UP,

and

  END UP

 looking

 to

START UP

 again.

Women participate and rationalize trying again, but they don’t like it. They seek more faithful, reliable, and enduring love in order to remove uncertainties and stabilize marriage with emotional cement.

Permanently exiting this fast lane requires knowledge of who and what built it. Part II describes root causes in the next post, #378.
