PR NEWSWIRE — Dec 8 — More than 57% of Americans and 61% of men are feeling stress in their love lives because of the current economy, a national survey sponsored by eHarmony conducted by Opinion Research Corp revealed. Most unmarried people surveyed (69%) believed that the economic climate does not affect their desire to be in a long-term relationship. However, those who are at least a little stressed about the economy were 14% more likely to believe they would be in a long-term relationship by December 2009, compared to those who were not stressed about the economy.

All relationships must be nurtured, but this is especially true of new relationships. When you decide that you want to pursue a relationship with a particular person whom you highly respect, you must be ready to invest substantial time, thought, and resources into your pursuit. Anything less than the conspicuous excellence of devoted attention and tireless servanthood, will delegate you to the throngs of other unnoticed people who would love to befriend such a person.
The way that a new relationship must be nurtured is very similar to the care and attention that a tiny, new plant must receive, in order to survive, and then thrive. It would be ridiculous to plant a fragile seedling out in the inclement weather among other established plants, and expect it to survive. A new seedling must be brought into the greenhouse and protected, until it is firmly rooted, and strong enough to withstand the storms that it will later need to endure.
