THE EDITOR
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.
May your life be in balance always,
