You bring up a lot of great points. Tying together a couple of your previous works, we fall victim to that puppy love feeling in the beginning. We think that sex is the litmus test of our relationships and salves any problem. But as you said in the last paragraph, if we don’t take care of those relationships, if we don’t work on them, not just applying those quick fixes to them but taking the time to learn and understand what that other person want and needs from that relationship.

What sucks, is that the little bit of work we avoided with the quick fixes in then beginning, has and can turned into a massive dumpster fire filled with passive aggressive comments and unspoken feelings.

Like you said, if people put even a fraction of the time and effort that they put into the invitations into the contract or he’ll the relationship they embarking on, their happiness in that said relationship might be greater.
