[Music]

there are many combinations of numbers

that add up to 100 but in a relationship

if it's not 50/50 it won't amount to

anything

when you share a major part of your life

with someone it's easy to take them for

granted

and unless an effort is made to consider

the other person's feelings the result

can be a disaster and that's what our

stories about on this episode of Hill a

beaver
