Can a marriage end in divorce and still be successful?
|
My answer depends on how I feel at the time. Sometimes, it feels like a whole marriage can be infected by the spectacular failure at the end. At other times there's more balance and it's more like you may have many years of success followed by a few years of failure at the end. If you look outside the narrow definition of the relationship as a measure of success, then anyone who has kids will feel they have succeeded in creating beautiful people.

What about a relationship that lasts an hour and costs $200?
|
That's not a relationship, that's a transaction. Nothing wrong with it if that's what you want, everything wrong with it if you want more.

Should Samson have begun more than one thread?

Yes
Sex, intimacy and love - they are so closely linked and people often express one through the others, while other people are able to compartmentalise very effectively. Knowing which type of person you are and what you want at any given time is critical to having successful relationships.
