tv education

i was watching ed last night on astro, one of the few series which i try not to miss... nothing really special bout the show... i just find it entertaining and humorous, so it's a good one hour to spend every week... =)

yest's episode, the story was about the relationship of a couple who has been married for 25 years. now, the husband's 50th birthday is coming up soon and all he wanted for his birthday was 48 hours of freedom where he can eat anything he wanted, drink anything he wanted and do anything he wanted which includes he can sleep with any girl he manage to court during that 48 hours... and ed (the main character if you haven't guessed it) just ain't comfortable with the idea especially as the wife said yes with a condition - she must know everything that happened in that 48 hours...

how can she accept her husband's request?her reasoning is that he has been a wonderful husband and lover for the past 25 years and he deserves something in return. but most of all she said, they were best friends throughout that time. and now that her best friend wanted something for his 50th birthday, she is ready to sacrifice something to fulfill his wishes. even if it means hurting her own feelings...

where do you find a couple like that? lovers and best friends. we often hear bout it but we rarely see it. i know it's always important in a relationship where both sides remains true to each other, but the one thing that i really believe for a relationship to last, is for the couple to be best of friends. friends who share everything. friends who talk bout everything under the sky and pour out their feelings unfiltered. sure we hurt each other sometimes but we should always be able to talk things over.

once a couple loses that friendship, it is all over. once a couple shuts up and there's only silence in the relationship, then it's dead.
