13 Lessons About Love We Learn From Our Parents
If theres one thing you should thank the generation gap between you and your parents is that they have a lot of advice to give about everything, including love. Just take your parents marriage, for instance- they fight, crib, disagree, and pull pranks on each other, but you can see just how loving and accepting they are of each other just from the small things they do for each other- making each other tea, Ma finding Dads socks when he needs them, and Dad cooking when Ma falls ill.
With modern relationships, people are turning to be more and more intolerant of the smallest of things. We may not notice it, but it is pop culture thats been setting unrealistically high dating standards that are making us more and more unhappy with ourselves, and our lives. Let us, for a moment, look at the things we can learn about love looking at our parents.
