面对爱情的伤害我们怎么去做
本文由柳梢青在2008-2-421:30发表于:倍可亲.美国(backchina.com)
看到过很多相爱的恋人分手，很多的人都是由爱生恨，严重的把硫酸泼到了对方的脸上，变态的把刀刺向了对方，还有的漫骂对方，到对方单位或家里去闹事，种种由爱生恨的例子不胜枚举，我想原本相爱的两个人发展到这一步，的确是让人非常遗憾的，当爱不再，难道就只能由爱生[阅读全文]

用心去感悟婚姻
本文由柳梢青在2008-2-422:27发表于:倍可亲.美国(backchina.com)
　　　每个人都要走进婚姻的围城，去领略婚姻的酸甜苦辣，爱是每个人都向往的，可是感情的三步曲却使许多人困惑而无可奈何。
　　一个人从向往爱神的降临，到感悟爱情的甜蜜，觉得自己是最幸福的人，对方什么都是完美的，就有了互相的忍让，看不到对方的缺点，但这样的甜蜜随着婚[阅读全文]

感悟婚姻--ZT

(2008-02-03 05:29:34)

(backchina.com)　婚姻不是爱情的坟墓，是爱情的延伸。尽管不完全调查统计爱情的保鲜期只有两年，对大多数家庭来说，地久天长的不是爱情，而是婚姻。对于中国式的家庭来说，即使没有爱情了，婚姻也不一定要解体，没有爱，还有权利和义务，还要赡养老人，抚育幼子，还不想打破多年来养成的生活模式。
　　即使置上面的一切于不顾，还是不想结束婚姻的。人人苦短，[阅读全文]

家不是一个讲理的地方 (ZT)

(2008-01-27 03:44:05)

家不是一个讲理的地方．
这句话听起来，很没有道理，但千真万确，
这句话是真理，是至理，是多少夫妇，多少家庭用多少岁月，多少辛酸，多少爱恨，多少是非，多少对错，在纠缠不清难解难分的混乱中，梳理出来的一个最后结论．

两人都会不自觉地各抱一堆面目全非的歪理，
敌视对方，伤害对方，
