He also won the world cup golden boot last December.

The modern day Relationship  Relationships crash because of a whole lot of reasons. Some reasons are more invalid than the others. No one wants to hold on to something. Everything is replaced. Vows and promises have become lullabies and heroic eulogies.  Our fathers lasted years and peacefully in their relationships and marriages because there weren't external sources to detect how a relationship should be, and they always resolved internal conflicts no matter how rough and messy it got.  Things have gotten so bad that a serious relationship has a maximum duration of just 3-4 years. Everyone is blinded with the mindset that replacement is possible forgetting that love is not a feeling for the thrill of being in love; it is an emotion, it is spiritual, it is about bonding and sharing. Love is worth living. We should be comforted by these words: Love is not a scam. There's true love somewhere in the world. We would meet the ones right for us one day.

In medieval Germany, husbands and wives could fight in a marital duel in order to legally settle their disputes.  Interestingly, the man had to fight in a hole with one of his arms tied behind his back. The woman was allowed to move freely within the arena but had to wear cloth containing weights. As for her weapon, she was usually given a sack filled with rocks. The man was provided with three clubs. However, if he touched the side of the hole during combat, he had to forfeit one of his clubs.  Married couples were usually given a month or two to settle their differences prior to combat. The duel would only take place if they could not compromise and make peace with each other. If the husband lost the duel, he would have his head cut off. If the wife lost the duel, she would be buried alive.

  Want to feel more fulfilled with life? Do difficult things often, and on purpose. Comfort and convenience are anomalies in Nature. Get out of your comfort zone, and only step back into it at the end of the day to rest. You are capable of so much more than you realize. You're built for it. Pushing your limits and regularly challenging yourself will fuel a cycle of self-improvement, positive feedback, and growth. The only thing stopping you is you, and your attachment to comfort. Go out and have a productive Monday and week.
