Hearing the many stories of love and relationships, including the breakdowns make us wonder if love really exists anymore. The different stories including love that lead to harm, love that lead to death, and love that lead to hope tell us about the different types of love in existence.

When we think of the story of Bonnie and Clyde, we often wonder what bonded these two together. The couple remained faithful up until their death in relationship and love. Yet, their love was obviously misplaced. The love constructed on desire lead to death since the two joined in criminal activities that caused harm and death in the end of the relationship. The story of Bonnie and Clyde is a surefire example of compatibility, yet it illustrates the difference between unconditional love and superficial love, yet understands the mechanism that makes unconditional and dying love.

Both Bonnie and Clyde came from poverty-stricken homes. The two tired of bad relationships teamed up and acting out of violence to commit acts of vigilante at the same time the acts of crime. During their involvement, the two remained faithful and loyal to each other, and often illustrated the true meaning of love, since it took death to separate the two. While the two had the human mechanism originated to compose love, the two also had harmful intentions of the type of relationship they would join.

While Bonnie and Clyde relationships were a thing of the past, there are couples today that join in relationships with good intentions, but harmful habits and thinking that leads to disaster.

Examples of harmful relationships are visual in case studies abroad the world, captured in papers, media, et cetera. An example of a harmful relationship is visual in the following caption. It started out with the seemingly perfect relationship, which escalated to the seemingly perfect family. The traditional family composed of father, mother, and children. The father worked daily in a mental health environment, while the mother worked at home and outside the home. The father later murdered made the public wonder how such a seemingly perfect family arrangement turned sour.

It turned out that the father while appearing loving in the public was illustrating violence and abusive behaviors at home while keeping a low profile. Thus, the mother tired and feed up with the arrangement addressed the issue, which turned into a physical act of murder.

As you can see, human mechanisms and elements that compose love were lacking in this family, since obviously the man had no respect for his family arrangement, or members.

Unfortunately, not every book has a cover that exposes the trueness of the story. Likewise, every person does not always present the trueness of the person that helps the mate see the outlook of the relationship. A person can go through years with another individual and never detect flaws that could lead to harm, until the day arrives. Others leave trails that illustrate potential harm, but the partner consumed in life, and meeting expectations fail to see the traits and evidence trailing throughout the relationship.

When considering relationships it makes sense to take your time while monitoring closely to the different behaviors the mate presents. Monitoring and listening, while hearing can help you to determine what the person has to offer you. A background check could never hurt, since too many relationships today turn sour, or else the partner learns the hard way that the mate has a haunting past. The haunting past may include adulterous, promiscuous, or criminal behaviors.

Personally, I recommend joining in activities, entertainment, communication, et cetera before committing to a relationship. After a few months you will see how you potential mate responds to social engagements, social environment, and so forth. Still, once you have an overview of the person's response to your expectations you will need to take it slow before permanently committing self to an ongoing relationship.
