I think most couples drift apart because of comparisons. Unfortunately, in our society a perfect match is when the man is more successful than the woman.

When men and women are able to respect and accept their differences then love has a chance to blossom.
In our world of rampant 'individualisation', relationships are mixed blessings. They vacillate between a sweet dream and a nightmare, and there is no telling when one turns into the other.
I've found that men I've dated who are in the same business can be really competitive. I've found a great group of girlfriends in the same business who aren't competitive, but a few times guys have started comparing careers and it has been... challenging.
The thing about relationships is, the stronger they get, the more rapidly the realm of romance starts to overlap with the domestic.
I think all married couples tend to run things by each other in every capacity and we're not different to them.
I believe that if man and woman cherish the same ideals and think alike, then the marriage can be complementary to each other's work instead of being a hindrance.
I am skittish about relationships, as most of the marriages I've seen up close have been ruinous for one or both parties.
