Why We Don't Do What We Should
Author: Rinatta Paries

When it comes to relationships, people often behave in ways vastly different from what they know they should do, what would be a good idea to do. Singles know they should like people who treat them well, yet they may not be attracted to such people. In relationships, people know to treat their partners well, yet they may cause repeated hurt instead.

Why Romance Dies
Author: Rinatta Paries, Relationship Coach

Romance is how most relationships begin. We anticipate being with our partner, give flowers, write cards, shower each other with attention and affection, stage seductions, etc. But somewhere down the road, the romance begins to fade. It happens so often that it seems ordinary, expected, natural.

Why Bother Training People?
Author: David Wood

People love to make a contribution to us. If given a chance to do the right thing for us, or to please us, they usually will. Unfortunately, they don't always know what we want, or their attention is elsewhere. OR, in the past when they've done something for us, they haven't "won" from the experience, or been acknowledged.

Author: MhyokT. Evaristo

If your spouse is contemplating a divorce, you may be desperately trying to say and do the right things that will keep that from happening.

When To Break Up
Author: Lisa Angelettie M.S.W.

Relationships often begin quite simply. There is a meeting. Then Attraction. Perhaps friendship or passion comes next.

And you forced your way into your current relationship.

What Men Crave and Women Need
Author: Bob Grant, L.P.C.

What do men want from women? Actually, it’s pretty simple. Deep inside the heart of every man is a secret wish to be trusted. How many times have men said to their wives, “If you would just trust me.” Many men wonder why it seems so difficult for their wives to do something so seemingly simple. The answer stems from the physiological differences between the sexes.

Author: Renee Michaels

Choosing a wedding anniversary gift that wows your husband or wife can rate high on your anxiety list; your anniversary is an occasion where the thought counts even more than the gift. The idea that your loving spouse should “know what I want" can lead to disappointed expectations, as men and women tend to have radically different ideas about what “romantic" means. Mind reading is an art, not a science; so make it easy for your husband or wife to choose a wedding anniversary gift. Drop easy-to-figure-out hints or talk about how you would love to celebrate your anniversary.

If you aren't willing to do that, then ask yourself why are you dating her? If all she is to you is a pretty women to make you look good, you need to re-think your priorities. I like pretty women too, but if I don't feel that she's my friend, I don't want to go out with her.

Variables
Author: Patricia Mondore, M.A.

One evening at a church I was attending the pastor had us all get involved in some congregational participation. We were asked to share verses that showed the blessings of obedience. Had I not known anyone there it would have been a fine sampling of the vastness of blessings that the Scriptures cover. However, knowing most of the people there fairly well, I was more impressed and amused at how predictable people were in the verses they shared. In fact, I probably could have matched the list of verses to the list of sharers with little difficulty. For example, the verse, "it is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35) was shared by one of the deacons. One of the more "Type A" members enthusiastically shared the verse that says the Lord will "bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none" (Deut. 28:12).

Unconscious and In Love
Author: Teri Harris Saa

Do you remember being fifteen? I sure do. It was the worst year of my life. When I turned fifteen, I felt like an outcast—unpopular. All of the popular girls were dating. They all had boyfriends. As individuals they weren’t particularly outstanding, but still they were admired. They were in love. At fifteen being in love was all it took to be popular.

Unconditional Love
Author: Karol Zelazny

I don’t claim to be an expert on Unconditional Love, but few things happened in my life that urged me to talk about the subject. About six years ago my heart was a very lonely and dark place without any colors. Beautiful and soothing sounds were completely absent. One of the feelings I had was being disappointed with myself and with my life. I felt stuck in business that I didn’t love, despite decent financial results. I wasn’t paying much attention to my kids being depressed and I felt sorry for myself most of the time.

Ultra Sensitive Men and Abusive Relationships
Author: Bert Hoff and Roger Easterbrooks

We all have difficulty dealing with conflict in a relationship. The ultra-sensitive man's reactions to an abusive relationship aren't different, but they can be more intense. Inside, the ultra-sensitive man is screaming, "Don't you know what you're doing is killing me? Just stop it! If you don't stop, I'm going to die!" What happens is that an ultra-sensitive man becomes over-stimulated, a state that Roger Easterbrooks, an ultra-sensitive man himself who offers healing help to others, calls "going into overwhelm." Overwhelm is when you feel your physical, mental and emotional systems can't tolerate any more. It almost feels like you're being pounded on. You want to run away. You then kick into "survival mode."

Two simple ways to get your spouse emotionally involved in the relationship
Author: Darren Wilk

Most of the calls I receive in my office for marriage help come from women who are tired of doing all the work in their marriage. They have asked their husbands, over and over again, to get into gear and take more responsibility for the relationship. The response they get is, “Why? There is really not much wrong here; and anyways, we can fix it on our own, without help”. (By the way, most men who come into counseling after their wife has left them say, “I don’t know what happened. I thought everything was okay”). Does this sound familiar?

When holding and hugging a loved one, contentment soars and the senses open up. Breathing becomes deeper and clearer. When touching drives are satisfied, the day is less likely to be haphazard and full of upsets.

The Victims of Fame
Author: Advice Diva

We all have the capacity to fall for the allures of fame and fortune. Elevated from the innocent hopes of the “American Dream” stands the illusion of immortality which accompanies the lofty aspirations for money, power and fame. Unfortunately, fame can play a devastating role in relationships. At first, the American sucker feels the beginning euphoric effects stemming from a little bit of notoriety or large cash profits. It acts like a drug seeping deep into the veins and covering the heart and brain. After that, he only wants more. Once he, or she for that matter, has tasted the splendors of fame, he will stop at nothing to get more and to be on top. Nothing will get in his way and he is willing to sacrifice anything or anyone. The desire for recognition is so powerful that it can drive some people into depression, drugs and even insane asylums. This kind of behavior is perfectly exhibited in Hollywood as well as in mainstream corporate America and the political forum.

It helps if they both eat junk food or both eat organic food. It makes things easier if both are neat or both are messy, if both are on time people or both are late people. Physical attraction is also quite important. It’s great if they have common values around money and spending.

The Power of Unwavering Belief
Author: Rinatta Paries

There are two ways you can work toward the goal of having your dream relationship. The first way is to want, hope for and try forcing it to happen. Unfortunately, that's not usually enough to bring you what you want. The other way is to deeply believe in your dream and to take action in line with that dream. Having an unwavering belief that your dream will one day be realized, you will grow to have a sublime relationship, even if you have a history of bad relationships.

The Myth of Celibacy and Spiritual Life
Author: Swami Nostradaus Virato

If you are on the planet to become more loving and to evolve spiritually, how does sexuality fit into the scheme of things? In most spiritual traditions, sex has been held as an obstacle to enlightenment. Vows of celibacy have been praised as seekers try to conquer the "burdens" and "illusions" of earthly desires. The underlying and usually unquestioned assumption is that sexual denial eventually leads to enlightenment.

The Girl Next Door
Author: Steve Eyes

When you think about the girl next door, usually it brings pleasant thoughts. She is a lady we have seen around, exchanged greetings and smiles – walked away feeling good. The part about feeling good has a lot to do with the calm atmosphere and the casual meeting. There was no crowd, no expectations of trying to be picked up, and you were not concerned about being rejected. Instead, it was you and a lady exchanging some small talk with no pressure or competition. Over time as you get to know each other the conversation may get a little more personal and you may decide to get together for dinner or drinks. It seems to come natural.

The Essence of Love
Author: Ilona & Roman: Simplicity of Spirituality

Love - it's the one thing everybody talks about, but few truly understand. People have always searched for love - love with family (in particular with parents), love with friends, love with intimate partners. Most of us are never completely fulfilled, and many are miserable their entire lives. It seems almost to be an elusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. We grow up believing that "one day I'll have it", and yet, in human terms, what does love really mean?

The Body Doesn't Lie

It isn’t easy for a woman, especially if she is in love with a man of the lying variety, to realize that he is leading her up the garden path. In most cases, there are no unmistakable signs, although the woman’s friends and relatives will hotly claim: “We told you so”. There are certain non-verbal indicators that may be helpful, but judgment should definitely not be passed on the basis of a single indicator.

There are seven stages in a romantic relationship: avoidance, meeting, dating, breaking up, establishing exclusivity, commitment, and keeping the love you find. Each of these stages vary in length and intensity. At each stage, there are thoughts and feelings telling you what to do and when to do it. You need to learn to listen to your intuition in each stage, so that you can make smart decisions.

TEN TIPS FOR GETTING YOUR MAN TO COMMIT
Author: George Weinberg Ph. D., author of Why Men Won't Commit

You've been seeing a man who loves you, whether he uses the word or not. He loves sex with you, but more than that, he loves being with you. Even so, he hasn't committed himself to you fully. Perhaps he's still vague about weekend plans, or he hasn't introduced you to his friends. Maybe he hasn't asked you to marry him, though you've been seeing each other steadily or living together for a long time. If so, he is like millions of men who cheat themselves and the woman they care about out of a life that would make you both very happy. He is obviously afraid - possibly even phobic -- about commitment. Is there anything you can do to help him take the step that will bring ultimate happiness to both of you? The answer is "yes," and the solutions are simple, easy adjustments that will cost you nothing and will end up bringing the fulfillment and commitment you've dreamed of.

Sexcellence

Sexcellence is the application of excellence to eros. This amorous journey into the unknown is a heroic quest for evergreen pastures of erotic pleasures; a lovetime of seeking new ways to imparadise one another while sexually intimate.

It is rather like there are two families or two groups relating, and not just two people.

I try and observe and learn from people who are very successful with the opposite sex. Recently, I had the privilege to witness one of these rare beings in action. He walked into a room walked straight toward the most attractive girl there and started talking to her. Unfortunately I couldn't hear what he said. He was just OK looking, he was actually quite a bit older than the girl he was talking to but they left the place together after about half an hour to a presumably happy destination. How many men have the courage that man had? Most men would be afraid to walk up to the most attractive woman in a room and introduce themselves. I and I suspect other men, remember friendly overtures to women at singles events being met with silent stares that imply something like, "Are you from earth?" and "Leave me alone you perverted sexual harrasser". Mysteriously that did not happen to the rare being I saw that night.

Romance: The Internal Process
Author: Justin Luyt

If you grew up in the 80s like I did, you might remember the group Depache Mode and their hit "Just Can't Get Enough." It is a song about being obsessed with the idea of being with someone, about needing another person. Romance easily becomes this addiction when we believe that we are not complete without someone else and that we simply cannot get enough of the blissful feeling we get when we are with him or her. When we believe we need the romance to be complete, we are in trouble for we are perfect and complete, connected to the world at all times - we merely need to choose to acknowledge that we are.

The Joy and Stress of Relationships
Author: Jackie Woods

In order to experience the greatest amount of joy possible in a relationship, you must go through the inevitable stress that is generated by a growing relationship. A quiet truce can exist with moments of pleasure in a non-growing relationship, but that is not the same as the joy that is experienced when two people reach new heights of selfhood.

Recipe for a Healthy Relationship
Author: Alina Ruigrok

First off, it is important to ask yourself what you consider a real relationship to be. You need to understand what your needs and desires are from another person, and what you are willing to give them. This way, you can see early in your first dates, if you wish to continue and work towards a future together, and if the other person feels the same of course (both sides count).

Recharge Your Relationship

Now you may ask why we would write an article about developing better relationships. The reason is because I believe that those who are in a relationship will be significantly and directly affected in all areas of their life by how that relationship is going, and how healthy that relationship is.

Psychology and Relationships Part 1
Author: Anne Ellis

Relationships are tricky! Most people would agree with this statement. Some relationships need to be constantly worked at, others drift along and are not too exciting, still others work without too much effort but all of them need a little give and take.

Psycho or Jealous?
Author: Advice Diva

There are very few articles and resources addressing the topic of jealousy. I have come to the conclusion that this is merely because people don't know what stance to take on the situation. Everyone has been on both sides of the fence. Most of us have experienced a jealous lover and many of us have been in a relationship where we curiously find ourselves being insecure and jealous by nature. On one hand you want to condemn the abhorrent behavior exhibited by jealous partners while on the other hand you might be able to sympathize. I have decided to courageously announce my decided opinion. Jealousy is just another euphemism for psychotic behavior.

Healing a broken heart will take time, but is not impossible, though it may feel that way at the time. It is never an easy process to go through, but with the right prescription, you will be on your way to recovery and happiness again.

Personal Freedom
Author: Rinatta Paries

Many singles express concern about losing their personal freedom once they get into a relationship. They often cite this as one of the reasons they are still single. After all, no one likes to be told what to do or to ask permission to do something. This is true in most areas of our lives and relationships are no exception.

Regardless of how much or how little people have, money is the most common cause of dissension in relationships. While each couple is unique, most arguments about financial matters start with either lack of organization or lack of communication. Both of these are behavior issues, and behavior can be changed. Following are some tips for peaceful money management:

Passengers and Cotravellers

We can liken our life to a travelling train ,or a sailing ship , or ambling along a path .

We are getting the same general experiences while the individual responses will vary according to our nature and expectations .

Overreaction

Out with the Old
Author: Rinatta Paries

Think back to a situation where you felt resentful. Or think back to the last time your heart was broken. The next time you encounter a similar situation, will you be free to choose how you act, or will you instead automatically attempt to protect yourself? If you are like most people, the latter is true. And why wouldn't you protect yourself if you see hurt coming, right?

Online Dating for Asian and Filipina Ladies
Author: Steve Eyes

Most single guys are settled in their life. Their mornings, afternoons and evenings have a routine they are comfortable with and rarely will they go beyond the boundaries of that routine. Even a single guy’s loneliness can become his norm and if someone crosses his path that interest him, he rationalizes instead of trying to adapt. Many times this leads to confusion – he just isn’t sure if she is the one. He over thinks, he pauses, rewinds, goes forward until nothing makes sense about being involved. Soon he is back to his comfortable routine of drinking beer and watching football on Sunday. The loneliness he feels won’t go away and after many beer drinking Sundays, he may try to fill that emptiness again. But just like before, he soon feels he is out of his comfort zone and the story repeats itself. After awhile, he is asking himself, how do I find love?

My Son's Deployment
Author: Kim Olver

One of the most difficult struggles in life for a parent is the struggle that occurs when the parent is attempting to keep their child safe and the child is attempting to explore the world and find their place in it, often times not in the safest manner.

Mrs
Author: Carna Zacharias

We all experience severe heart break at some time in our lives. For many it happens in childhood or adolescence, the time when we are most vulnerable. A cold mother, an absent father, being different in any way from our peers and ostracized for it - these are some of the reasons for the early feeling that something is wrong, inadequate and utterly disappointing about us. For others, it happens later, when a spouse betrays our love and trust, a child is hurt, or our dream of making it big in the world is shattered.

Men and women are different how do they get what they want?
Author: Susan Sheppard

Men are such wonderful creatures and most of the time everyone underappreciates them. Personally, I love men and everything about them. Since my whole theory of relationship is based upon the fact that men and women are different, it seemed time to elaborate on who men are and how did they get that way.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Men and Relationships
Author: Ray Kadkhodaian

The two words, "men" and "relationships", often are not mentioned in the same sentence without a "punch line" following them. In addition, men are often stereotyped as being "insensitive" or "uncaring" when it comes to the needs of their partner. It has been my experience in coaching men that these stereotypes cannot be further from the truth.

Meditative Sexuality
Author: Burl B. Hall

In contrast to the sex as sin attitude, I would maintain that sexuality is a spiritual act as potent as prayer and meditation. Indeed, I would say sexuality is a form of meditation and prayer. The sex act (be this heterosexual or not) is a mother to spiritual renewal. To understand this, meditate on the term we use for sexuality engaged in for its own enjoyment, "Re-creational." See, healthy sex is about rebirth, be that spiritual, physical, or psychological.

Margin Notes
Author: Will Baker

It seems to me that when one is confronted with a life changing experience, such as the death of a loved one, a crises of faith, or perhaps even the end of a relationship one does not come away unchanged. In fact, I would argue that as we go through each day, even each moment in fact, we undergo continuous change. However these changes can be quite subtle, even incremental when compared to the sweeping change that can sometimes accompany a life-changing event. I have recently undergone one such experience, and as I stand now on the other side, I am attempting to make some sense out of it. You see, I have come to the conclusion that my understanding of our place in the universe is in need of some revision.

Managing Pre-Engagement Limbo - For the Woman Who Wants to Tie the Knot
Author: Andrea Passman Candell, M.A.

Tracking friends’ engagements? Feeling that the only wedding not booked this summer is your own? Thinking that sending out save-the-date cards looks popular for everyone else? All this makes you wonder what in the world is keeping your long-term beau frozen at the knee. It probably doesn’t end there either. Spinning thoughts of “what does she have that makes that guy want to marry her” whenever you hear the news of a recent proposal and feelings of rejection because your guy is still not ready, plays a number on self-esteem.

In this age of busy schedules, high pressure jobs, body fitness and refined tastes, relationships often take a chair at the back of our agendas.

Lying: Yes or No?
Author: Jeffrey Broobin

What about little white lies? What about when your partner asks you if this dress makes her look fat. What do you think? Is it OK to lie to a person we care about for a kind reason, like to make him feel better and more secure, or to avoid a fight. As long as our heart is in the right place, even experts say that honesty isn't always required. You don't have to tell the whole truth if it will hurt your partner or if it's something he can't change.

Love At Home
Author: Rhoberta Shaler, PhD

It's Valentine's Day. This day focused on expressions of love can be wonderful. Unexpected flowers arrive. Gold embossed boxes of delicious chocolates are given. Cute stuffed animals proclaiming love are exchanged. Great start! A good beginning. The important question, though, is: "Do you demonstrate your love every other day?" Unless you do, Valentine's Day is just another 'Hallmark Holiday'.

Love
Author: Jackie Woods

People have a hard time describing love because it is an umbrella heart quality. Love can encompass many qualities depending on the person's definition of love. For example, one person might consider kindness and patience to be part of love while another might believe love includes such qualities as protection and support.

Many people, maybe even you, think there is only one life partner for each of us in our lives. I’ve got good news – we all have many, many life partners. A life partner doesn’t have to be a romantic partner. A life partner is anyone with whom you share long term growth, internally and externally. Relationships in which you can grow with another person as change inevitably occurs are life partnerships. So the pressure is off – you don’t have to look for “the one” anymore.

Let's Be Rational
Author: Jay Krunszyinsky

Are you a rational or irrational thinker? You may want to believe you are a rational thinker, but you find that you are the eternal pessimist, able to see only the half-empty glass in many situations you face. You are a rational thinker if you turn negative situations into positive ones. You can face unpleasantant situations and not become overwhelmed. You use your unique talents to resolve problems and view the brighter side of your life. If you are an irrational thinker, you will either overreact to problems or will not react at all. You will experience intense emotion-al pain when challenged to take responsibility for your actions or to acknowledge how your action may negatively impact another person. You become easily overwhelmed by the pace of work, family, and community responsibilities. You see negative qualities in the other person in your relationship and react in subtle ways to hurt him or her.

Learning About Relationhips
Author: Dr. Joan D. Atwood

As a psychologist it is apparent to me that when most people marry they believe their relationship will remain rewarding and loving; they do not expect to divorce. Yet the divorce rate is about 60% for first marriages, and is even higher for second marriages. So, we have a situation where people enter into marriage with great expectations; yet, have a great deal of difficulty maintaining them.

Just a Little Willingness to Love
Author: Rhoberta Shaler, PhD

What is love? A ticklish sensation around the heart that can't be scratched? Something I earn when I do things right? Something I give to get something back? My definition is that love is a willingness to choose to see and respond to the best in another person, even when they are not experiencing or expressing it themselves at the moment. This gives you the opportunity to be loving, no matter what the other is doing! It also requires that you decide to give up petty (and not-so-petty) judgments of others and replace that with the willingness to see them in their best light. Quite a tall order!

Journey To Intimacy
Author: Jackie Woods

When we hear the word intimacy, the first thing that usually comes to mind is sexual intimacy. It isn't that sex can't be intimate - it can. Yet often times sex isn't intimate, simply because intimacy has not been created in the relationship in other areas. The broader meaning of intimacy is about being honored in who you are and honoring your intimate partner in who they are. The more we get to know, honor and share ourselves, the more intimacy we can have. The problem is, we don't always honor the parts of ourselves we know and our knowing is usually limited.

It's all about your love language, Part 5
Author: Lorne Peasland

Acts of service are simply things you do for your partner. You're not doing it to suck up to them, you're doing it because you want to. Simple things like taking the lead on a file and writing an agenda for a meeting before your partner has to. Making the deposit. Cleaning the executive washroom.

Anthropologists, it's claimed, are enamored by cultural patterns that tend to pervade societies.

Love has been accompanied by giving for a long, long time.

It's all about your love language, Part 3
Author: Lorne Peasland

Quality time is sensual time. It can't be achieved in front of the TV, watching something together. Shut off the idiot box and talk with one another. Go out to a restaurant and watch the other people, guessing which ones are married and which are single. It's can be fun to get a conversation going with your partner about mankind's foibles and indiosyncracies, viewed through the lens of a restaurant. It can can make you feel closer together, as you identify what you like about each other. It can also bring out what you don't like about each other, but we'll work on that another day.

Ahhh... love! It's what we all seek. Even those who already have it are continually seeking ways to keep it. But what is love, really? How can we know that what we're feeling is not infatuation? What's the difference?

Is that "W-A-L-R-U-S"?
Author: Essa Alraune

A few years back, I went to London, England. I needed to get a passport-like photo taken, but the machine I wanted to use was of order. When I called the company who owned the machine, I asked where they had another location. I was told, “Walrus.” “Walrus?” I confirmed. “Walrus,” was the response. I should have asked for the spelling, but the person had said, “Walrus.” I asked around, and no one knew where there was “Walrus” until, that is, someone realized that “Walrus” was “Woolworth’s.” Apparently, the person I spoke with and I both thought we were saying the same thing – but boy, were we not!

Is Love Painful?
Author: Jennifer Hautman

Who hasn't experienced the pain of love? Or is it the pain of love or the pain of rejection? This is where we start getting into all the “add-ons?of love. The love baggage, we might call it. For some reason, many people assume negative emotions are a PART or element of love. Love is not painful. It feels great! The pain and hurt we feel doesn’t come from love, it comes from our doubts, fears, anxiety, perceived rejections, broken trusts, anger, jealousy, and envy. So why do we as a culture lump all those other feelings in with love?

How to Improve Your Love Life with the Power of Feng Shui... Without Spending a Dime!
Author: Stephanie Roberts

FENG shui (say "fung shway") is the art of creating a home environment that supports the life you wish to live. A key element of feng shui is creating a smooth flow of chi (positive energy) through your space. Chi likes to move through your home as though it were a gentle breeze or a meandering stream. Where it is blocked, the energy becomes stagnant--like a pond choked with algae and fallen leaves. You are likely to feel blocked in life, and your energy and enthusiasm for matters of the heart will be low. Balancing and correcting the chi of your bedroom helps encourage and invigorate romance. Here are some quick and easy ways to improve your love life by improving the energy of your home:

How To Harmonize You Love Life & Attract Your Soulmate With Feng Shui
Author: Madeleine J. Glick, M.S, R.D., Feng Shui Consultant

Marie’s love life dramatically changed after she placed two pink candles in a special area of her newly-painted home. Her dates multiplied from twice a year to several dates a month. Marie’s Feng Shui adjustments worked perfectly. Unfortunately, she didn’t realize that these changes were more than simple home improvements. Her peach-blossomed walls produced a luck which to Chinese mystics harvests fertile, but short-lived love affairs instead of serious relationships. Today, her bedroom has been re-painted in lavender. The result? Passionate late-night calls were replaced with marriage proposals. Marie still burns her candles at night, and the energy has been enhanced with vases filled with fresh flowers.

How to Choose a Partner
Author: Rinatta Paries

There are many single people looking for a relationship, but not necessarily finding the one. I hear it all the time in my practice. Single clients and friends tell me they have tried personal ads, dating services and the Internet. Some get their friends to set them up on blind dates. Many go to singles social activities and join singles clubs of all kinds. The lengths that singles go to in order to find a relationship could constitute a full time job. And yet, more often then not, they come up empty-handed. Sure, they may get some dates or end up in short-term relationships. But they don't usually find the lifetime relationship they've been seeking.

How Lazy Parents Make Happier Kids and Stronger Marriages
Author: Carol Ummel Lindquist, Ph.D., author of Happily Married with Kids: It's Not Just a Fairy Tale

My mother always said that the best parents are lazy parents. Her theory, as I understood it, was that lazy parents don't jump up every time their kids need something so that children learn to entertain themselves, enjoy themselves, and become more independent. In couples, lazy parents, theoretically, have more time for each other because their children learn, maybe by the time they are 25, not to interrupt them when they are together. Of course, a lazy parent may also be too lazy to spend the time making the marriage work better. While I would never recommend neglecting a newborn in hopes of improving character, I am going to talk about ways to support your marriage that may substitute a tiny bit for time with your child. I am writing this as an antidote to all the literature on how to be the perfect parent. The current high standards for parenting lead to low standards for marriage. The irony is that having a healthy marriage is one of the greatest gifts for your children and yourself. While there are a few

How Honest Are You In Relationships?
Author: Jennifer Hautman

I had always thought myself to be a fairly honest person, and by society's standards I was. But what society considers honest and what true honesty really is, are two separate things. We've been systematically taught in our culture to make lying a part of our lives. We do it so often that we don't even notice it anymore. Honesty is telling "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.?Society's definition of the truth is to tell "the truth, and only part of the truth as it serves you and as long as no one is made uncomfortable."

Hasty Divorce
Author: Richard O'Connor, Ph.D

Divorce is so common in our society today that it's a shame people don't do it more carefully. Too often it's just another stage of self-deception, doomed to disappointment--an out of control emotional process, the dark side of falling in love. Though occasionally mature people can agree that they've grown apart and need to go in separate directions, and occasionally there are couples who bring out the worst in each other and really need to separate, for the most part divorcing couples are fueled by anger, projection, and blame. Divorce brings out our strongest feelings of anger and rage. What's interesting is that the rage feels good. It's righteous indignation. It comes out of very basic needs to protect our own self esteem, as a way of saying it's not my fault, it's her/his fault.

Gratitude as a Path Toward Love and Happiness
Author: Dennis Rivers, M.A.

Because life continually requires us to attend to problems and breakdowns, it gets very easy to see in life only what is broken and needs fixing. But satisfying relationships (and a happy life) require us to notice and respond to what is delightful, excellent, enjoyable, to work well done, to food well cooked, etc. It is appreciation that makes a relationship strong enough to accommodate differences and disagreements. Thinkers and researchers in many different fields have reached similar conclusions: healthy relationships need a core of mutual appreciation.

Fights that never go anywhere, that are repeated year after year, or that leave you feeling awful about yourself are not going to help your relationship. Those are the kinds of fights we need to take another look at, and find out what is going on underneath. This is true for any conflict that doesn't feel right, not just those you have with your lover.

I recently asked a friend of mine who has been single for several years if she was complete with her past relationships. It's been my experience that one cannot move forward into healthy new relationships until they are complete with their past. My friend said she had no feelings left about her old relationships.

Fear of Loss
Author: Phil Walmsley

All of us at one time or another, perhaps even right now have experienced the pains of losing someone. This someone could be a parent, a sibling, a child, a spouse, a boyfriend or a girlfriend. Each of us has felt the pain. Some of us feel it in our solar plexus and lose our appetite. Some of us feel it in our heart and feel so crushed that we wonder if we can go on.

Fear of Intimacy
Author: Margaret Paul, Ph.D.

Emotional intimacy is one of the most wonderful experiences we ever have. Nothing else really comes close to the experience of sharing our deepest thoughts and feelings with another, of being deeply seen and known, of sharing love, passion, laughter, joy, and/or creativity. The experience of intimacy fills our souls and takes away our loneliness.

Excerpts from the New eBook Released Just in Time: "How to Choose the Perfect Gift for the Woman You Love"
Author: Susan Dunn, The EQ Coach

The flareup was immediate. "I'm writing a book called 'How to Choose the Perfect Gift for the Woman You Love,' I told my friend Sam, and he replied immediately, "If any woman doesn’t like what I get her then…” and his voice trailed off in… what was it? Anger? No I think it was more eternal frustration. I could tell he’d been bloodied, and he was, in fact, married to his second wife.

Excerpt from Grow Your Own Love
Author: Kathy Sanborn and Wayne R. Ricci

There are several steps one needs to take to promote a soul bond between partners. The first, and probably most important, step is to cherish your mate as you would God, for indeed, your partner truly is an element of this Infinite Spirit. Given that we are all interconnected through the bond of spirit, your lover is a representative of God, just as you are. It is paramount that your union be handled with respect, kindness, and love as befitting a sacred connection.

Emotional Intimacy

Emotional Intimacy
Author: Dr. Steven Calabro

I’m confident that you recognize both the importance and the value of love in your life. The benefits of both loving and being loved are widely accepted, but have you considered what it means to be in love? Being in love means different things to different people, but true love revolves around two people sharing an emotionally intimate experience. Sounds good, but how do you get there? Well, emotional intimacy is a special shared relationship, one that is sealed in trust. This seal of trust is what makes you both feel safe to disclose who you really are to each other without fear of being judged or, worse still, being condemned for your honesty. When we feel safe to be revealed and exposed, we are free from the need to become other than who we really are. Have you ever had to become someone else for the benefit of another person? Perhaps you did so because you were seeking approval or acceptance. If you’ve played this role, you know how uncomfortable it can be. In some instances, you may even wonder if being

Author: ROGER ALI BOCUS

January 13th, 2005 -- Today, we live in a very fast-paced age, where we want everything microwave style. This attitude/expectation seem to traverse every area of our lives. And sad to say, it has especially affected our relationship with others. No one wants to work hard at relationships. We want everything perfect or near perfect with the input of the least of efforts. If we are experiencing problems in our relationship – we want instant answers to our problems. We become frustrated if we are told that it took us seven years of neglect to put us where we are (relationally), and it would definitely take us some time to transform our relationship from where it is presently, to where we want it to be.

Conflict Resolution: Negotiating a Truce
Author: Terry Rich Hartley, Ph.D.

Conflicts come in all forms and levels of intensity. Some are the result of misunderstandings between friends, and they can be resolved with a simple apology. Other conflicts aren’t so easy to resolve. They are emotionally intense and often come about over time. The parties then have to decide if the friendship, partnership, marriage or whatever relationship is worth repairing. Notice I said “parties” in the plural. It takes two to tango, and it takes at least two to negotiate. That’s because communication forms the core of any negotiation. Let’s look at how it works.

Conflict by nature is difficult. And yet conflict is a normal, natural aspect of any relationship. In fact, conflict handled well is healthy and can improve, even add to a relationship, leaving both of you feeling heard and understood. It is only when people handle conflict poorly that the relationship gets in trouble. How you handle conflict and what you do with the information learned during the conflict is directly related to the overall quality of your relationships.

Communicating is one of the most important things a couple can do together to keep their relationship strong and full of vitality. In fact, without communication there is no intimacy in a relationship. Intimacy -- or literally "in-to-me-see" -- cannot exist without both partners revealing themselves through communication. Without communication, the relationship consists of guessing, interpreting, wondering, hurt feelings and perhaps sex.

Climbing the Listening Ladder

BEYOND MECHANICAL SEX
Author: Robert W. Birch, Ph.D.

It seems that the magazines and bookstores are filled with advice on how to be fantastic in bed. There are books on the G Spot, multiple orgasms for men, and hour long marathons in every conceivable position. Sure, some of this is fun to read and might briefly perk our stale repetoire of erotic fantasies, but come on, how many of us really have the time, energy or inclination to rack up the kind of sexual statistics these author say we should be achieving. However, for quite a few folks, achieving is what sex seems to be about. These goal-oriented individuals (and couples)count the climaxes as though making love is the same as accumulating orgasms. I guess these are the people who talk about "scoring."

In consideration of the thousands of people that I’ve encountered over the past half century, I’m pleased to report that no one who chooses to come around me is abusive, resentful or parasitic. Of course, it wasn’t always that way. Somewhere along the way my brother said to me, “You teach people how to treat you.” Wow, what a revelation! If I don’t like the way that I am being treated it is because I have, through self doubt or guilt, made a silent pact to take the abuse that I believe I deserve.

Arguments - The losing side of a relationship
Author: George Ministeri

In the 34 years that I have been doing psychic counseling, it is only in the past 10 years that I have been involved with couples counseling. One thing I have noticed with many couples, whether those couples are a man and a woman, two women, or two men, is that there is often a lack of real and meaningful communication. This lack of communication causes small conflicts to become heated arguments where issues are not resolved because both partners are trying to make their points and are not even listening to what the other person has to say. Nothing can ever be resolved when one person raises his or her voice with what only appears to the other person to be demands. The effect of this is that the other person feels as if they are being scolded like a parent scolds a child and this causes the person to close up in a defensive posturing attitude where they don't

Are You Fit To Love?
Author: Allie Ochs

is the most important question you’ll ever ask yourself. Let’s face it, our relationships are extremely important. Yet, often they are the cause of pain and struggle. Single or not, societal standards convince us that we can have it all. Much of the available relationship advice compels us to go after everything we want. Sadly, for many it is not working. Climbing divorce rates and more singles seeking love are proof that our attitudes are counterproductive.

Are You An Island Girl?
Author: John Kuypers

Elton John sang his famous song, Island Girl, in the 1970’s, idolizing the women of sun, sand and surf. But there is another kind of Island Girl. These are women (and men) who share a common and often unspoken challenge: fear of intimacy. People who are afraid to let other people get too close to them often have this deep-seated fear. They protect themselves from emotional hurts by creating an island of safety around themselves. Yet this same island leaves them feeling isolated and lonely.

Author: Alina Ruigrok

Do you often find that you involve yourself in relationships that disappoint you? Are you not getting what you need and desire from the people you choose to date? Does there always seem to be something missing? If you answered yes to one or all of those questions, you could very well be addicted to disappointing and bad relationships, setting yourself up for failure without even knowing it. There are ways you can determine whether you are addicted or not, and ways you can break the addiction and start getting what you have always wanted from a relationship.

anger as a tool for growth in Relationships
Author: Susie and Otto Collins

In relationship, Anger can be either healthy or unhealthy. Anger is just an emotion. How you process it is what determines whether it becomes a tool for growth or a source of pain and destruction.

Anger as a tool for growth in relationships
Author: Susie and Otto Collins

Everyone gets angry. Some people show it openly and others don’t. If you are one of those people who claim you don’t get angry- you’re either not in touch with your emotions or you are lying. In relationship, Anger can be either healthy or unhealthy. Anger is just an emotion. How you process it is what determines whether it becomes a tool for growth or a source of pain and destruction. In this society anger is perceived as a negative emotion. If you are a person who expresses anger, society would tell you that you are someone who can’t control your emotions and can’t control your behavior. Most of us suppress anger and deny it exists until it rears its ugly head.

American Women Really Don’t Like You
Author: Steve Eyes

Any man who has dated Asian ladies who live in the United States, has witness the wrath, jealously and prejudice of American women towards Asian ladies. I know I have, as have many of my friends. The stereotypical has some merit: American women can’t compete against the Asians’ sexuality, American women feel threaten and some American women simply think Asians are stealing their men. These all bear some truth.

7 Ways To Improve Your Relationship
Author: Margaret Paul, Ph.D.

Good relationships don’t just happen. I’ve heard many of my clients state that, “If I have to work at it, then it’s not the right relationship.” This is not a true statement, any more than it’s true that you don’t have to work at good physical health through exercise, eating well, and stress reduction.

10 Crucial and Surprising Steps to Build Trust in a Relationship
Author: Dr. Robert Huizenga, The Infidelity Coach

1. Be predictable. When do seeds of suspicion emerge? When one begins to think, What's up? Why is he doing that? He's never done that before. That is so unlike him. He loses 30 pounds, buys a new wardrobe and comes home late from work. He changes his patterns. His behavior becomes unpredictable. You get the picture? Any movement away from predictable behavior can become suspect and trust can deteriorate. Focus on acting predictably if you need to build trust. Be consistent in what you do. This doesn't mean you must be boring. If there is a twinkle in your eye and a dose of spontaneity every so often, for goodness sakes be spontaneous and fun loving. But, be spontaneous consistently! Be true to who you have always been and be that consistently, whoever you tend to be!
