When it comes to breaking down the she versus he I think a definite must see is 500 Days of Summer. This movie stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Mark) and Zooey Deschanel Summer) in non-linear romantic comedy. Mark is a guy who falls head over heels in love with Summer, a girl who doesn't believe in love at first. After meeting Summer in his place of employment, he feels that two have a great deal in common. Mark is one who strongly believes in the soulmates concept. He feels she is the one. On the other hand Summer sees true love as pure fairy tales, and isn't seeking anything more than friendship. Mark is determined to win her over and show Summer that love is real and succeeds with a twist. This is a must see. Read synopsis and user comment below:
Taken from IMDB:
Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love. Girl doesn't. This is not a love story. This is a story about love. After it looks as if she's left his life for good this time, Tom Hansen reflects back (which bad relationships often make you do) on the just over one year that he knew Summer Finn. Despite being physically average in almost every respect,Tom's adolescent sister, Rachel, who is his voice of reason(and a powerful voice of reason). After all is said and done, Tom is the one who ultimately has to make the choice to listen or not. Tom and Summer argue over whether or not love is real, with Summer saying it isn't while Tom says it is. The two agree to disagree. Rachel tells him that he should take a second look at Summer and Tom's relationship and stop ignoring the bad(something we often do in relationships and wonder how we got to this point). He realizes that there was always something Summer was holding back and kept her from truly being "in" the relationship.
User comment section on IMDB:
(500) Days of Summer is a poem to every down and out guy who thinks he's the only one whose ever been dragged through the mill by their own Summer. What undoubtedly ends up making this picture so brilliant is how relatable it is to its victims and victimizers a like. When all is said and done, there is most definitely a lesson to be learned by Tom's experiences. Everyone you meet along the way, whether just passing through or sticking around for awhile, has a purpose. In the end nothing lasts forever, relationships begin, relationships end. Try to be thankful for all the people that broke your heart, they more than likely helped you find yourself in the process …especially you, Summer…bitch
Relationships are quite complicated one has to face when in trouble, but it's also not as bad as one would be led to believe in it.Just try to brush away all those misunderstandings and believe in the fact of making-up that relationship all you have to do is to start knowing what really went wrong and what made two
ReplyDeletehumans who loved each other in depth to part their ways, is it because of money mis-management or something else . You can always find the answer here.
Money and Couples
Thanks for sharing Laurie. Your money management system looks interesting and innovative. I'm sure many couples can benefit from this since management of finances can be a major issue with couples.
ReplyDeleteA good relationship takes a lot of hard work and they never work if both people aren't working towards the same thing :(
ReplyDeleteI think it's entirely possible o save most all relationships though!
I agree 100% with Jenny! A good relationship DOES take a lot of hard work! I really liked this blog and plan to show it to a friend of mine who I think needs to see this! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteFeel free to visit me back I welcome your opinions and comments.
@ Jenny: Even though all things are possible, I must agree as well, that certain elements like willing participants have to be present for things to work. Both parties need to be on the same page at the same time. Thanks for visiting Jenny and Jonas. I'm happy you took the time to share. I am also delighted to hear you like the blog. I will get back on the ball and share my relationship discoveries more regularly.
ReplyDeleteYou Cannot Trust Your Man
ReplyDeleteI recently had the pleasure of hanging out with an intelligent and established colleague, Kenya K. Stevens of JujuMama, LLC, author of Change Your Man. As we talked, the subject of working together came up. We decided to start with piggy-backing on one another’s blogs. And so, I’m happy to offer my take on her next blogging topic: “How to Trust Your Man.”
Ladies, brace yourselves: you cannot trust your man. Gentlemen, don’t feel left out; substitute woman for man as you read this blog and the same ideas will hold true.
You cannot trust your man. But this is not as bad as it might sound. What we are dealing with is a confusion in terms. The concept of trust generally is misused when it comes to intimate relationships. Trust, as I define it, is the act of proceeding without evidence that a given result will ensue. Typically, when we profess to trust our mate, we are either lying or misusing the term. Most likely we are lying with an intent to project some virtuous responsibility upon our mate, with the hope that s/he will continually protect our feelings and make us feel safe. The real truth of our self-deception typically arises when we believe that our “trust” has been broken: whenever the relationship or some dynamic within it, goes sour, and we say ruefully, “I trusted you,” or “you betrayed me.” Neither are true. The history between the parties (all the evidence we gathered in getting to know each other early on) that preceded the supposed betrayal of “trust” negate(s) its possibility..read more....

I think movies are a great resource for learning more about love, relationships, dating, body language, etc etc. They can be both informative and inspirational.
