Look at listening like going for a checkup and finding out you have a serious illness. The number one question you plead to your partner when they’re walking out the door is “where did we go wrong?” But the better question is “why weren’t you listening when they were trying to explain what was wrong?”Ī key part of a relationship is listening to your partner when they’re expressing their concerns on the current state of the relationship. Lesson 1: Listen and pay attention the first time your partner tells you something’s wrong. We’ve listed five love lessons from five standout tracks that can help bring peace back to your relationship - whether you’re together or not. If you can’t afford a relationship counselor, you’re in luck.

Inspirational Verse: 'I hope she gives you a disease/So that you will see/But not enough to make you die/But only make you cry/Like you did me.Music has the ability to act as an interpreter that reveals underlying issues in the lives of its listener, who can’t express his or her shortcomings verbally to themselves.Įach song on Braxton and Edmonds’ new album uncovers a valuable lesson in love that could shed light on one’s current love state and help ease the troubles in the relationship. Yet amid these consistent songs, the single sole-composer credit stands out, and it's Braxton's: 'I Wish,' about just how bad she hopes the other woman treats him. Weathered now, their mellow voices retain some lustre, and there's narrative arc and emotional texture to the well-doctored material-hurting the one you don't want to hurt, worrying about how she's doing, makeup sex, post-split attraction.

That's their line, and since each is but once-divorced, it has a patina. Pretend they're writing/singing from experience. Magic himself for a while, and assume Braxton would try anything.

No wonder Kenny Edmunds grabbed her early on-she was platinum putty in his hands. Through one number-one album, two number-two albums, one Vegas run, two Disney-on-Broadway runs, one season of Dancing With the Stars, two bankruptcies, and, absolutely, one divorce, Braxton has been as content-free as a soul diva can be.
