It is important to many women to be able to reproduce in the process of evolution. In the literary work "A Secret Sorrow", the character Faye is a lady that is unable to reproduce. Many women in today's society have many problems just like Faye. This inability to have a child is a great burden on Faye. This burden causes stress in Faye and Kai's relationship. However this story portrays how with love and work, relationships can survive these struggles.

At first I think Faye is over reacting to the news that she could not bear children in the story and needs to calm down. Communication in a relationship is very important. People need to be able to tell on another how they are feeling about what ever it may be. If one of the couples doesn't communicate and holds everything in they eventually can't handle all that they have inside them.

It is a very awkward position to be in when it means so much to women and relationships.

The story hits home for every couple that is dating have obstacles to overcome. With both couples working to resolve a problem it makes it a lot easier. In my relationships I like to resolve the problems so both people get what they want. If only one person is putting in effort to make the relationship work it don't work. The feeling you get when your lover gives you attention makes you know that they want you. Both need to feel important to the other person, and not taking things for granted.

This literature portrays how to make relationships work. Many times you are faced with problems in your relationship that you have to address that may be bad or good. To make it through those times it takes communication, true love, and working hard together. In the long run everything happens for a reason, and we all learn as we go"¦
