Loving with the end in mind

It is funny how at the beginning of a relationship we never really fathom the ending. We enter all ventures in life with the end in mind. When we start school, we envision the end with a degree or diploma in mind. However, our perception of love is purely delusional, once we fall in love, we tuck our brains away and lie to ourselves that the fire will burn forever.

We rarely pay attention to the preacher's sentiments about death doing us apart because our focus is on the present and on the fulfilment of our dreams and ambitions. Because we fail to envision the end, we rarely do anything to prepare for it or put measures in place to combat it. We are not to find out what our partners detest the most and things that may erode their love for us. We dwell on the passion and fun side of love and are found unprepared when familiarity in relationships set in.
