You just don't "get it."

In this morning's newspaper, I read an article that quoted actor, Jeff Bridges, on his ideas about relationships.  What he said is thought provoking.  To paraphrase, he said that the only real problem that relationships encounter is that people "just don't get it."  All relationship problems, he posits, are a variation on this.  Then he adds that we'll never "get it," and that love needs to be big enough to allow for this.  What are your thoughts?

  1. His comment seems vague to me." Maybe I just don't "get it." :) Without measuring how "big" love is, (not sure how one does that), the only way people "get" it in my experience is for there to be very open, candid and sensitive communication between those involved. Sharing feelings, thoughts, fears, desires and dreams with the one you love, and allowing them to share back and respond, seems like a good way for both people to be well on their way to "getting it."
