Lessons on relationships and marriage from the main protagonist

There's no relationship book. That's the lesson I got from it all.

[Maris Charles M]

Marriage takes work, but it’s hard to put in the work when any one of the pair is absent. For soldiers, nothing is taken for granted because death is always on the mind. But for astronauts it is much easier to forget about those left behind while adventuring in Space. And in this case, the wives will find it easier to resent their husbands with less dangers to worry about. In comparison, Space is like a dream vacation they miss out on. So being busy isn’t a valid excuse for taking the life back at home for granted.

You made so much Sense.There should be a balance between pleasure and responsibility besides after the adventure you have to go back home.

I think the concept of self sacrifice as a required marital element needs a serious going over. Spouses should be doing what they do for each other because it makes them happy, not because it's oart of the "Relationship Rulebook."

I totally agree with you on this
Thanks for the comment

I learned that communication is key on a relationship. If you don't learn how to propely communicate and express yourself, it can lead to misunderstandings that can possibly break the relationship.

I agree, there is so much information on how a relationship must be and it puts pressure on the partners. I think it is important to focus on what works for you and your partner not what everybody else thinks it should be.

I learnt to not force things and to not turn marriage into some chore that must be done for family sake. To keep the family happy, ones happiness is important.

The main protagonist has a divorce, Daniel suffers a separation, Sam feels he is floating and Alec needs counseling before he could commit. What lessons can we draw from their relationships?

The lesson I learned from the author about marriage is understanding. Couples can not enjoy their marriage if there is no understanding. Couples should learn to spend time with each other and talk about deeply concerned matters and also should never lie to their partner no matter the circumstances.

A lesson from their relationships? Love is hard, it takes hard work to make it work. Despite obviously loving his wife a moment of weakness still cost him everything. Love and devotion in relationships will often be tested.

It shows that every relationship needs work. When you are in a relationship, you need to be understanding of the other person's needs. But at the same time, it shouldn't be one where you just give and give without no regard for your own self.
It's important that partners are honest with other in expressing themselves. Bottling up what you feel will only lead to resentment or anger.

I learnt alot of lessons on relationship and marriage through this book. The protagonist and Rechels marriage taught me an important lesson on the need for communication.

[Moo Reny]

Communication is important in marriage and any relationship!

All and all, the need for communications and marrying for the right reasons is what I can pick.
