There is a reason for the old adage that "Relationships take work", and that's one of them. Our society teaches us that we can't be satisfied with what we have because there's always a 'better model' out there we can buy if we can afford it. We tend to carry this attitude into our relationships.
That attitude, of course is taught to us my the media and advertising, and it is simply a wrong way to look at life, and aspecially relationships. It's sometimes hard to do, but if we love someone, we have to retrain our thinking to a point where we are happy and greatful for waht we have, and where we can put away our critical behaviours in favor of those that look for the rightness and the beauty and the blessings we have in the other person.
