The mountain between us

When we are in a relationship we can make it as easy or as complex as we can and like. The idea of being in a relarionship is about loving one another geniunely: looking for what is best for the other.

The movie talks about a man, Dr. Ben, and a woman, Alex, that are capable to cross a snow strom to get to their loved ones, and nothing will stop them to go against their sane judgement to get married or go back to civilization.

Regardless of the choices they make to get to their engagements, they accept the consequences and are responsible for whatever happens. When the plane crashes and they get stranded on a mountain they have to fight cold, animals and themselves so they can get rescued. The main problem is that no one comes and they must survive trusting each other.

Two strangers that become more united than within their own relationships which they’ve had for years. Adversity brought them together and reality crushed all their dreams and ideas of the perfect life they thought they had.

Relationships work like that; when we don’t trust the other person to make us be better and push us to find succes, we create a wall that each time becomes harder and harder to climb until we have built a mountain. We sure can live with each other but we no longer want to be with them. Being part of a couple has its ways and by ourselves it is not easy, but with the others as a team, we can make it easier. The others are not here to solve our problems, but to help us make sense once we have lost it, and it also works the other way around.

Be sure to communicate and express what you really want; don’t expect the other to begin. If we are not willing to do it, the others won’t do it.
