There can only be one captain at a time, too many people trying to steer at once will inevitably lead to an accident!

Life is like a long drive. You start out on a path, you may have a few twist and turn along the way but you are driving towards a destination. Along the way you run into obstacles that may divert you from your original goal, some may even change your path altogether. The thing to remember as you are traveling through the highway of life is to not let someone else steer your ship. I am not saying that you should not listen to other people or take input. What I am saying is don't let someone take the wheel out of your hands or worst pull you away from a goal that you have set for yourself. At the end of the day when every one has gone home and your all alone, you are going to have to live with the decision you have made. 

Things change when you have a family and when your in a relationship, you have to share the wheel. The thing that is really important is that you and your partner share the same destination. That is especially important when dealing with children. You both have raise your child to be all that they can be, conflicting ideas could possibly be harmful to your child. I see people who get married and both of them have different ideas of how the marriage should be and goals that they want to achieve. This may seem small at first but two forces pulling on a wheel even just a little eventually will lead you away from both destinations and you can easily find yourself heading for a crash. Life is a very long journey and you will change destinations many times along the way, just make sure that when you do that your the one holding the wheel. To the couples, share your goals and form new ones together. Its not always easy but it is worth the effort. Keep on rolling :)
