Mr & Mrs Smith

I watched it on Sunday evening

on DVD, of course.

And it strikes me

that stale relationships can be mend.

It's the lack of intimacy

that sets the couple apart.

It's the lack of communication

that fills the i-don't-know-u-anymore gap.

It takes two to tango-

it takes two to keep

any relationship

or marriage together.

A few months ago,

honey brought back an emailed article

about a married couple

who was in the process of

getting divorce.

During the last few weeks,

the husband realised,

it wasn't that he didn't love his wife.

He still loved his wife, but

their marriage was lack of

intimacy

(not sex, mind you!)

Moments together,

sharing laughter,

comforting hugs,

sweet whispers.

Sometimes,

you don't know

how much your partner

or lover

or spouse

means to you

until you are at the verge

of losing them

or until you've lost them.

You've settled down in the comfort zone,

taking them for granted

and being arrogant,

thinking you can make it

without them.

But the fact is,

without them,

you've lost your composure

your sense of humour

your sense of completeness.

You won't realise it

until the end is near

or until the end is here.

Sometimes, as simple as

TOUCH

tells a thousand emotions.
