“So you wrote “THE” book on relationships….No, I wrote
“A” book on relationships…”
So why a conversation about A
versus THE, you ask? Well, “THE” implies an expert on whatever the subject
might be and “A” references another source.
Actually, the quote was an excerpt out of a conversation with Patrick
regarding a conversation he had with lady friend regarding a man she is
dating. We both laugh often about anyone
considered to be “THE” expert on relationships.
Honestly, how can anyone know everything about relationships when
everyone is different? Sure, men and
women interact with similar dynamics in a relationship, but to say any two are
identical is silly, in my feeble opinion. I believe we make it harder than it
has to be by having preconceived notions of how it should be, carrying baggage
from the past that we have not properly dealt, and hurrying things along rather
than allowing things to happen. As Dr.
Henry Cloud says, “Date without expectation and you may get a nice surprise.”
