It is true that no man can live in isolation and everyone needs the solace of family, friends or lovers; someone we can depend on and hold dear.

When it comes to family, friends or a lover, there is a need for an association with someone to make our lives meaningful. Every acquaintance in this life time has some kind of an effect in our life, whether good or bad. Delving on the romantic facet of relationships we are bound to have our share of romancing and heart ache, the exhilaration of a first date or the deflation of defeat in a break up, the act of getting serious or the institution of marriage. The harsh reality is that they are very unpredictable and can change direction in the blinking of an eye. Whether it is something that is beyond our control or a specific conscious act on our part, everything we do or say can have a bearing on the course of a relationship, be it a romantic involvement or strong relationships in the form of family and friends. Relationships set out to and often achieve the oft mentioned objective of companionship.

Man is not designed to survive alone and is destined to have interactions with others; if we miss out on that interaction, it can have an adverse effect psychologically. Family and friends are there irrespective of our desire to have them or not, and we tend to depend upon then a lot. However, a lover takes care of our needs that they cannot provide. Intimacy in relationships, the need for love and caring; from the preparation for the first date to a more committed relationship and the institution of marriage, it is a major journey in the quest for romance. The only twist comes in the love story when it ends in a break up, an act that is symptomatic of dysfunctional relationships. Breaking up is something we never want to do, but if it is due to circumstances beyond our control or calculated moves or actions, it is any one’s guess what is in store for our lover. But what is really remarkable is the fact that you live every moment with your partner and turn it into the happiest moments in life, be it a romantic dinner, or a casual outing at the coffee shop.

Love creates the happiest and the saddest moments in our life and that is what makes it all worthwhile; the beauty of a romance, living for the moment, a joy for lovers.
