One of the most important aspects of a relationship is meeting her parents for the first time. You have to leave a positive impression on them in order to win their approval.

They will be so attached, yet, complain and struggle, often blaming you for all their problems, when really it was their reality before you met.

Your attitude is not dependent on something happening, or people living up or down to your expectations; no matter what happens, your love is there. You now have the ultimate power; there is no need to react, or to run away from situations. To love means to hold deep happiness within, no matter what transpires.

But the fact remains, that if 91% of the people surveyed felt this way, can we assume that many other people in general who were not surveyed are not happy as well? I don’t like to make assumptions but this number is really scary.
