Do you always get what you want from your partner? No! But sometimes we expect that and find ourselves bum rushing them for it. Only to end up in an argument with hurt feelings. Instead of getting what I wanted I now feel further away from my wife. Have you experience this? We live in a instant this and instant that world. California was the first state to institute instant divorce. We humans don’t need an easy way out of our commitments. We need all the help we can get to stick with our commitments.

A friend of mine was so caught up in her thoughts that she left her ATM card in the teller machine. The person behind her said ‘Oh my lucky day’ and withdrew the $500 maximum allowed. When my friend found out she was totally upset because she really could not afford that loss. After calling the bank to track this monster down the bank told her there was nothing they could do. Now she was beyond upset. She then told the bank she would no longer deposit her money there because they would not put forth any effort to help her get her money back.

When you can’t have what you want from your partner – do you think about taking your money out. Or are you committed over the long haul?
