THE KEYS TO A LIFE LONG LOVE James DobsonThe guidelines or steps to a life long love that Dr. James Dobson gives are in no doubt important in our society because of their important place today as identified in our group work on their place in todays society (Ref: Group 6: Group Report on the Keys to a life long love) but I think it would be nave not to look at what he is advocating for critically if one wants to follow the steps expecting to find life long love.I dont refute Dr. Dobsons claims about following these steps in order to find life long love but saying that by following these steps you will inevitably find life long love would be deception. Someone once said that there is nothing as constant as change in life. Life always changes and with this change comes unpredictability and so it is vanity to think that by following these steps to the letter you will with no doubt eventually find life long love.People, relationships and situations are different and stereotyping how one can find life long love is impracticable. In this way the steps to a life long life then show a narrow probability of what they claim will be the result of following them. The one way in which one could follow these steps and get life long love is if both partners in the relationship are committed, faithful and both know about the steps to a life long love and follow them. If for example a lady was following these steps in order to find life long love and her partner was unfaithful or is just using her in some way then this lady will in no way find life long love, at least not with this partner. Another example of how the steps do not guarantee life long love is where one practices these steps without personalizing them but practicing them like it is work to be done after which you are sure to get certain results. In this case the person may be disappointed since the steps are guidelines and not specific instructions of how to get life long love. Love grow...
