I didn't come from a background where I saw a lot of loving couples. All my aunts and uncles were either split up or fighting all the time. The only healthy relationships I saw were on TV.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Broken relationships are a source of heavy heartbreak that seem to affect every family.
Too many couples break up without understanding the consequences for their families.
Although I never married, my brother fortunately did, and I have had the pleasure of watching his three sons and daughter grow up. Several of them now have children of their own. We have been a close-knit family, although often separated by distance, and have shared each other's happiness, sorrows, and aspirations.
A lot of shows have couples with issues inside the relationship.
I am skittish about relationships, as most of the marriages I've seen up close have been ruinous for one or both parties.
I think very few people do find a relationship where, every moment of every day, everything they do comes together. That's why, in a nutshell, everyone loved Barbara in 'The Good Life.' She was the perfect partner. It was a formula. She wasn't glamorous. She wasn't clever. But she was a good partner. That's too easy, too perfect.
All love comes from the family.
I've had two terrific relationships, but both ended in marriage.
I think togetherness is a very important ingredient to family life.
I'm not saying that every night of the week, my husband, ex-husband, our children and I all sit around together like one big happy family. But we do see each other frequently, and everyone loves each other, and we are all friends.
