Men vs. Women – Is the Relationship War On?
There’s an age-old stereotype that maintains men are confrontational in relationships, while women try to avoid conflict. Traditional role-distribution required men to seek domination in their relationship, but women were always saying “Yes, dear” to prevent an argument.
According to a new study, those days are long gone. Looks like women are no longer the peacemakers and much more likely to pick a fight than to end it. But does that mean we’re in for endless relationship bickering?

We never really bought into “love is blind,” because we know full well that you see your beloved’s faults. Love simply makes you ignore them or even makes them endearing.
“Love is not blind, it sees more not less;

- Will Moss

Peaceful Love Quote
We knew that Gandhi stood for love and peace, but we had no idea he held such a high opinion of marriage.
“Between husband and wife there should be no secrets from one another. I have a very high opinion of the marriage tie. I hold that husband and wife merge in each other. They are one in two or two in one.”
- Mahatma Gandhi
