Why do most relationships today have a higher probability of failing than succeeding??

I think that is a difficult question that cannot be answered simply. Different relationships have different problems, some of which seem insurmountable, making the couple in the relationship deciding to call it quits.

I think one thing common to most defunct relationships is the foundation. Movies today teaches us love at first sight. You seem some girl (or guy) walking out on the streets and suddenly noone else is in the world but you and him. If you are lucky, she (or he) catches you watching and smiles at you. Wow! Such a wonderful smile too and a great set of teeth. You spend the rest of the week thinking of her (or him) and how to get her. Two days latter and they are both in a relationship. Now these two don't know anything about each other, but they seem to believe that they would learn all there is to learn in the relationship. It is true that you can only know very little about someone from afar, but take sometime to know somethings. What are her (or his) likes, what makes her (or him) tick, what do people say about him, etc.

Looks can be very deceiving. She (or he) may look perfect on the outside, but there may be so much that is wrong inside. So instead of looking for the first opportunity to ask her out, try to make friends first.Try to truly know her (or him). Now being a friend allows you to know more about her (or him) and you see her (or him) for who she (or he) is when she (or he) is not aware...
