Opis

In today's world of social media, mobile phones, MTV and internet it is no wonder bonds between two people often fail in partnerships. Commonalities demonstrates how we are bombarded from all sides with ever-increasing accessibility to newer and more streamlined electronic distractions. The ads easily lure us into the need to purchase, the need to keep up, the need to explore options. This access and usage makes it almost impossible to form deep and lasting mutual interests that bind us in healthy and solid relationships. Author Neil Allan shows how our world of technology pulls us away from face to face verbal encounters with one another and catapults us toward mechanical means of sterile communication in hopes that we will form meaningful connections. Instead, our electronic exchanges do the opposite since genuine communication is lacking. As Commonalities demonstrates all is not lost since, with concerted effort on the part of both partners, relationships can be restored and built again to structure a unit of lasting and fulfilling lives together without the distractions of the various forms of social media. This is accomplished through mutual interests, deep spirituality and creation of children that result in solid relationships within the unit.
