Stages of a relationship

Our relationships are delicate things, fragile and in need of constant repair. Put enough strain on love, and quite often, it breaks. If it doesn’t break, though, if, in fact, it survives, then it often collides directly with the next strain. Any of the situations described below could be used to describe The End for a couple. Of course, these situations could also highlight the ways in which humor can shelter a love through stress. But we would know nothing of that here, would we?

  1. This is awesome!! So, so funny and yet true. Love the photos.

    I tried to comment on your last post, but when I clicked through, it wasn’t there.

  2. This is SOOOO perfect for describing a relationship’s stages. I see that you and your Scott have the humor thing working which is such an asset especially when it comes to the “It’s them, not us” phase which is kids. Rock on!
