Do you believe in luck? What's luck got to do with it? Someone: “If I am lucky, then the relationship may last forever." Me: “I’m sorry but I don’t believe luck has anything to do in keeping a relationship.” I feel like singing,  “what’s luck (love) got to do, got to do with it?” What do I know I only have had 2 relationships in my life? First was when I was still in college that lasted only 1 month and the last one was with my late husband of 25 years and our relationship was 30 years. So yeah I do not know much about luck but I do believe that luck has nothing to do with keeping a relationship. I just know. Since I do not know much I consulted a friend who is a nerdy psychologist. Let’s call him Dr Google. I find it that when you ask a nerd they don’t give a simple answer but will give you all research evidence too. I asked “does luck play a role in a relationship?” The answer: There are elements in a relationship that are crucial so both people can be happy. Ask yourself if your relationship has trust, respect, loyalty, honesty and commitment. These are the building blocks that all good relationships are built on. If your relationship is lacking one of these elements, it spells trouble. One of the best signs that your relationship is worth saving is if you have all those fundamental elements in your relationship. So that is the psychologists answer no mention of luck. This is not his only answer he also cited several articles from journals and gave me links to articles online, several of them, geez. As if I was doing a masters degree in relationship psychology. That is my punishment for asking a nerd. (Hey my friend if you are reading this, I am just adding spice to it don’t be mad, Ok? I really appreciate your professional input so please don’t ban me.)  This doesn’t mean I do not believe in luck. Our meeting of our future partner can be a pure luck or coincidence. Before jumping into a relationship if you want it to last then you should have those elements I mentioned above, if you do then you are ready to jump. This way we create our luck. Someone said luck is when preparedness meets opportunity so if you have those elements you just have to wait or look for opportunity. Maybe he or she is here and he/she is prepared too. Cheers and best of luck to those who are prepared.  Are you prepared? “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.” |

Bizz, I was about to write a discourse on the Norse and Greek Goddesses Fates and Luck in reference to this blog but I decided not to complicate things and just share my opinion on this matter. I believe we can be lucky or fortunate to meet the person we will fall in love with but are we fated or destined to be together? This is the basis of relationship. As you said, trust, respect, loyalty, honesty and commitment are the ingredients of a successful one. Prepared? Love strikes like lightning. Maturity and understanding is all one needs. I'm a senior citizen . Don't expect me to remember anything

Iris thanks for your input. I believe that too that we create our own luck and that we reap what we sow. “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.”

Luck has something to do with a good relationship. Possesing all those 5 elements you mentioned (trust respect,loyalty,honesty,commitment) is indeed luck itself.  It's a rare combination!  “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.”
