Age Defying Complex

Hi All,
Today I just came across an interview by Gwyneth Paltrow about ageing.
What she'd told was mind blowing. Though not exactly in the same words, this is what it meant.
To her ageing is most natural and one needs to keep moving on.Not ageing means being stagnant.
Now coming to my point -Why will anyone want to stagnate in their lives ?
Why do people try to defy something that is most natural?
Why is always looking beautiful means looking young?
Why can't we look gracefully old and beautiful?

Special Days - Why are they special?

Why do we celebrate birthdays and anniversaries?What's really special about them?
Why do we feel hurt or upset when our loved ones forget to make us feel special on those select days?Why do we spend so much on that special day?
Why can't we just do it on another day that is just convenient and pleasant?

Personal Space

Is it our tradition or convention for the women to let their men choose their way and style of life?
Is giving up our personal space a good way to show that we love someone?
Is dressing up and changing mannerisms accordingly going to improve relationships?
Though these could be very interesting and romantic in the beginning, some women feel the total lack of personal space and the loss of individuality.
To my opinion, most marriages running into troubles have the women complaining about lack of personal space and an inability to take decisions.
Are the men to be blamed completely for dominating their spouses or women to be equally blamed for giving up on their individuality for the sake of romance?
On the other hand marriages also seem to fall into trouble when one has strong boundaries for personal space and strong sense of individual likes and dislikes.
Needles to say that there needs to be a balance between the two to be compatible partners.
Note the word "balance" - a precarious term to be used very very subjectively.
But how do we all describe this balance? How much of being unbending as well as adjusting is compromise?
