Bridges and Perks

How do you begin to bridge a gap too wide? How do you make its pillars stand strong again? Sometimes, its the strongest relationships that have the weakest link. Two people might have been together through the storm, but when sun comes up again, they seem to fight over a pair of shades. And the shades starts to represent everything they were and are. When I try and rationalize this with denial, a strange thought occurs. Isn't weakest strong better than strongest weak? And that got me thinking - if the perks of happiness are what first instigate us to work at a relationship, shouldn't weakness get us fired? Apparently not. It would rather we work overtime, minus the perks.
