A while back, I had a friend come to me for advice in his
relationship. It seemed that he and his wife were having
some difficulty, and I don't mean normal everyday
difficulty. They were raising a child together, and their
life was in chaos. They had unpaid bills, unmet doctor's
appointments for the kid, and neither of the two knew when
the other was working, so there was no way to provide for a
babysitter for the child.

 All of this added up to create one chaotic, disgruntled environment for the child.

When my friend came to me, he asked me how I happened to
have such a great relationship with my current Sweetheart.
"You don't argue," he said, "at least not that I can tell.
You don't have money problems. You don't worry about who
might be cheating or who's going out of town or anything.


How do you two do it?”

Answer: relationships are like crossword puzzles. What I
mean by that is this: in crossword puzzles, you have blank
squares to fill in. Most of the time, especially with the
ones in the weekly newspapers, there are really hard clues
to figure out. You can't do it alone, ever, period. The more
you fill in the blank squares together, the more likely you
win, together. And there are three keys to winning at the
crossword puzzle of relationships.
