Top 10 relationship wreckers by indiatimes.com :: 2009-01-05
(2) Work/life balance: we work longer hours, commute further and therefore spend less time together than 20 years ago. When we're tired, talking is reduced to the essentials. It's efficient, but there is no time to explain the complexity of our feelings. Into the gap leap all sorts of assumptions. Set aside "sacred time" just for the two of you.
