Relationships are a big thing because we are a relational type of people. Just take a quick look at your Facebook news feed - there is a fascination when someone proclaims that they are in a relationship or when their status changes to "single". Comments pour in of congratulations or sympathy...
But what is beyond establishing a relationship? How does one get to know another person?
I came across a nugget today while reading. When describing his relationship with a person that is suppose to be a close friend, he compared it to another one saying,
"Your father got along just fine didn't he? He did what was right and treated people fairly, and things went well with him. He stuck up for the down and out and things went well... Isn't this what it means to know me?"
Could this be the missing link to many failed relationships? They say opposites attract - that can be true. But to further a relationship and to go deeper is the key to understand the other person's character by living it out?

Relaunch
I have been thinking of using this space for more than just to write my musings on any topic that comes to mind (although it is still available for that). I want to focus in on specific issues - perhaps being more intentional with my thoughts.
In the days to come, I think I will be writing more. Stay tuned...
