		<description><![CDATA[A plan on how to get your Ex back by surprising them with your actions on handling the break up and your plan to win them back. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most of us have many relationships in our lifetime. We fall in love, then out of love, then back in, etc. It seems to be a never ending cycle. Then you meet that one… </p>
<p>You know the one I&#8217;m talking about. The girl or guy that makes you feel blessed to be alive and share your time with. The person that seems to make you feel like you could die at that very moment and you would be satisfied with your life because you had spent some quality time with them. In short, they are what we all dream of finding - our soul mate. </p>
<p>Then one day it&#8217;s all gone. Your dream partner leaves you for some reason and your life is a mess… you&#8217;re so depressed you can&#8217;t work, sleep or eat. Time goes by and that doesn&#8217;t seem to make much of a difference either.</p>
<p>Does any of this sound familiar? If so, then you may be asking yourself just how you can get your ex back into your life. Let me say that many people have been successful in doing this. So, the chances are good that there is a possibility of this working for you as well. That alone should get you excited. </p>
<p>The first thing is, you have to have a clue what went wrong. Look, your ex loved you at some point, the fact that he or she was with you tells you that feelings were there, and so what changed? </p>
<p>Did you cheat? Did your ex cheat? Did one of you (or maybe both of you) stop communicating? These are common break up behaviors, but they are ones that can be fixed, if there&#8217;s a will from both sides. </p>
<p>Now, you may have a will, but your ex&#8217;s will may have to be &#8220;encouraged&#8221; a bit over time. You need to look at yourself and your relationship like you were a house that you were walking through to review before purchasing. What I mean is, be critical with yourself and how you handled the relationship. If something needed work, write it down along with a plan on making it better. Create a list of problems and ways to tackle them. </p>
<p>This will not only help you but it will be something you can show your ex when the time is appropriate. Many ex partner&#8217;s find this to be a big step in changing their partner&#8217;s behavior, and it surprises the heck out of them and builds a lot of &#8220;brownie&#8221; points. </p>
<p>Be sure to keep your eye on the ball. Let your ex know that change can happen and you would like to have another chance. You may find that you&#8217;re just too hard to turn down. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More than half the couples that get married end up in divorce. That&#8217;s statistic that more and more people are learning each day. However, did you know that a good percentage of those people that get divorced WANT to get back with each other? If you&#8217;re one of those that wants o get your ex back, then read on… </p>
<p>Now, after going through a divorce your friends and family will likely ask you why you want to get back with your ex. They may even think you&#8217;re a little nuts for wanting to do so. </p>
<p>Sure, if you have had time to honestly evaluate your marriage and have come to the conclusion that you ended it too soon without trying hard enough to save it then that&#8217;s one thing. </p>
<p>But if you, like so many others, are just now facing the fear and uncertainty of being newly single and are starting to think being in a bad marriage is better than being alone you really need to  find some help to get over the feelings of loneliness and depression before you do something you&#8217;ll regret. </p>
<p>If you&#8217;re positive that getting back with your ex is the best thing for both of you, here are a few simple steps you can follow:</p>
<p>1) Be sure you want this. Think of your future with and without your ex. What truly makes you the most happy? If you want your ex back, then set your mid to it and try like hell to get them. (Of course, do not stalk or invade the privacy of your Ex. If you know your Ex doesn&#8217;t want you back, then leave it alone.) </p>
<p>2) Try to talk to your ex.  Don&#8217;t argue or invade their privacy. Just talk and listen.  Try to honestly and maturely discuss why the relationship ended.  What misunderstandings took you so far away from one another.  </p>
<p>If the two of you can honestly discuss how you&#8217;re feeling, without recriminations, than you might actually see that you&#8217;re not that far apart after all.  You have just been coming at it from opposite directions. </p>
<p>3) Take some time to honestly evaluate what part you played in the demise of your marriage.  No one is ever completely blameless.  What was your part and are you willing to change whatever behavior it was that contributed to the breakup?</p>
<p>4) Try to find resources that will help the two of you communicate.  So many couples just have a hard time expressing themselves and listening to their partners.  If you can find a way to work around this you might have a shot at not only getting back with your ex but also of making your marriage what you&#8217;d truly like it to be. </p>
<p>Going through a divorce is hard and unfortunate, but it&#8217;s a whole lot harder and unfortunate to live your life after realizing that you lost one of the most important pieces of it. Sure, you can do it, but the relationship may be worth trying to rekindle. Sometimes a little outside help is the only difference between life long happiness and lifelong regret. </p>

		<description><![CDATA[Make a Marriage Work by Connecting.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Look, we all know the statistics, well, maybe not literally, but we all have been told how often marriages fail. It’s talked about on your favorite talk show. There are numerous reality shows that start out with two loving couples and end up one serving the other divorce papers. In short, the stats aren’t good, and you’re smart to worry, but don’t let it interfere with what could be the wonderful experience of your life. </p>
<p>Forget Worrying About Making the Marriage Work – Think about Why Marriages Fail</p>
<p>Most of the time marriages fall apart because one or both of the people start getting selfish and feel that the world revolves around them. The truth is that if that is your perspective, the marriage is doomed. The two of you are supposed to be as one and this can not be if you are only looking out for #1. You have to be able to sacrifice parts of yourself for the existence of the marriage. It takes the two of you realizing that if you want to be as one, you may have to sacrifice yourself. The choice is simple, live as one or live as two people.</p>
<p>There are numerous other reasons marriages fail. You can never cover all your bases and plan against everything. Sometimes things just happen and two folks move in different directions. However, with that being said, the majority of failed marriages come from people that move too quickly and don’t take into consideration how to nurture a relationship for long lasting love – together. instead, the relationship just fizzles and fades away. </p>
<p>Requirements To Nurture a Relationship?</p>
<p>It takes an understanding of who you’re in love with, and an understanding on how to fill the needs of your partner. And no, I’m not talking about the bedroom needs. </p>
<p>Most people are very surprised when they hear how they can be in love with someone and not understand that person’s wants and needs – from a relationship (love and nurture) standpoint. Those that take the time to learn their partner are always the most successful in keeping that partner wildly in love with them, and vice versa. </p>
<p>Keep Your Partner Crazy-in-Love with You Forever?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of people are resorting to online love quizzes to find out if their long lost love still has any interest in them. if this is a route that you&#8217;re looking for, please understand that you need to be very careful with these generic quizzes. Some offer some decent advice to take into account how your ex may feel, but most are utterly worthless. I mean, they&#8217;re garbage!</p>
<p>Look, people are very different. They have different dreams, desires and needs. There&#8217;s no way to compute how an old flame may feel about you or what they desire by answering a few questions in an online love quiz. Computers are very smart, but they sure aren&#8217;t at that stage just yet.  </p>
<p>You need to get the word directly from the horse’s mouth. Sorry, I didn&#8217;t mean to insult anyone in that last sentence, it&#8217;s just a figure of speech; meaning, let her or him tell you how they feel. There&#8217;s just no better way to get the most accurate result. Unless, of course, they lie to you, but you can usually get a fairly truthful answer as long as some time has passed and the negative feelings from the break up have worn off. </p>
<p>Far too often people bottle their feelings inside their heads for years because they&#8217;re too stubborn to actually make the first move and ask their ex how they feel. I agree, it can make for a little uncomfortable situation, but it&#8217;s well worth it, especially if you&#8217;re still in love. This one move can be the difference between a life full of happiness and a life full of &#8220;what if&#8221; questions.</p>
<p>My ex walked out on me and I was devastated. I loved her. I took some time and did a lot of soul searching and eventually made the first move to win her back. It was nerve racking at first, but I used some awesome <a href="http://www.almostlosther.com">Relationship Saving Techniques</a> that really helped. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;ve broken up with your ex and some time has passed and all seems well, from the outside. The two of you have moved on and the life is looking very encouraging, again, from the outside. Well, what&#8217;s happening on the inside exactly? Many people in this situation find themselves wondering if their ex partner still loves them. What does that mean? </p>
<p>If you find yourself in this situation then you may need to seriously think about exactly why you are having these thoughts. Do you still love your ex? Are you just generally interested? The fact of the matter may very well be that you do still care about your ex, and subconsciously you wish that the break up never had occurred. </p>
<p>These thoughts are very typical in loving relationships that abruptly end, or end without both sides exhausting every measure to prevent it from ending. I call it the &#8220;does my ex still love me&#8221; syndrome because it seems to be on the mind of a high percentage of couples that really want to reconnect with each other. </p>
<p>If getting back with your ex is not possible, then you need to come to terms with the fact that you and your ex are not going to be a couple any longer. Worrying about whether they love still care for you is irrelevant and will only cause you pain. It needs to stop. </p>
<p>However, if there&#8217;s a will, there may very well be a way. Instead of wondering, it may be worth it to your sanity and future happiness to try and pursue reconnecting with your ex. I&#8217;ve gone through this myself, I know how you feel. I eventually won my ex back using some amazing <a href="http://www.almostlosther.com">Relationship Fixing Techniques</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No, I’m not talking about the 80s song by Cinderella, which was a bad ass song, btw. I’m talking about the situation many of us find ourselves in where we break up with someone that we truly cared about, only to find ourselves much more unhappy once our partner is gone. It actually happens a lot, and it sucks, a lot. </p>
<p>It reminds me of the old Jim Carrey movie, Bruce Almighty. There’s a scene in that movie where Jim Carrey’s character is talking to Morgan Freeman (who plays God) and Jim asks Morgan why not just give everyone what they pray and ask for? Morgan replies, “what makes you think people actually know what they want?” That is so damn true. </p>
<p>If you were in a loving relationship where one of you made the decision to break it off too soon, it may not be a bad idea to try and rekindle what was lost. Realize this, most relationships have ups and downs, even the best of them, don’t let someone you love get away forever for something that can be fixed. If the love was there, then it’s worth giving it a second shot. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.almostlosther.com/rekindle-love.htm">Get my FREE eBook on how I won my ex back</a>. I provide plenty of tips and advice that I had received that really helped me win my partner back. I couldn’t be happier I took that step and decided to pursue a second chance. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We hear about these situations all the time. Someone appears to be in a good relationship, then BAM! Just like gangbusters, an old flame enters the picture and stirs up a bunch of emotions and complications. If you find yourself in this type of situation then I can only offer you one bit of advice - be very careful!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s true, old flames tend to burn pretty hot and heavy after some time passes, especially if the old flame was a first love. So having these feelings shouldn&#8217;t cause you to ignite any guilt on yourself, but acting on these feelings is another thing entirely.</p>
<p>But what if your current relationship isn&#8217;t so great?  So what! Yea, I&#8217;m serious, so what! </p>
<p>Look, it really doesn&#8217;t matter if your current relationship is on the rocks or not, you need to think twice before acting here. You owe it to your current partner, maybe even kids (if any), and most importantly, yourself. </p>
<p>Just how do you think you will feel knowing you&#8217;ve hurt your partner or maybe even your kids for just for a temporary fling with an old flame? Believe me, the lasting pain is something that can&#8217;t be resolved quite so easily, and something that will stick to your character resume for quite some time. </p>
<p>BTW - download <a href="http://www.almostlosther.com/rekindle-love.htm">my free ebook</a> called &#8216;Rekindle the Love&#8217; and you can read how break ups and divorce impact kids. </p>
<p>Before you take the leap and very likely get burned, take stock of what you have. An old flame is an old flame for a reason. It didn&#8217;t work once, and odds are it won&#8217;t work again. Stay true to yourself and your current partner by seeing the current relationship through. If your current relationship isn&#8217;t meant to be, then perhaps it should end, but do it the right way. Stay true to yourself and keep your respect.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Relationship problems are significantly greater if you have children with your partner. The children are the innocent bystanders and they really don&#8217;t care or need to know who&#8217;s wrong or right, they see their mommy and daddy fighting, and that&#8217;s all they care about. </p>
<p>Nothing will tear you up more than seeing the disappointment on your kids face when they realize mom and dad arn&#8217;t going to be together anymore. Really, is there any good way of explaining it? I certainly don&#8217;t know of one. I suppose time will heal those wounds as well&#8230; but it just sucks. </p>
<p>Having kids with your partner is certainly a good reason to go the extra mile and try to make the relationship work. Of course, not all relationships are meant to be, but we should all raise our tolarance bar a little higher for the sake of our kids. </p>
<p>For more information on how kids deal with their parents breaking up download our new <a href="http://www.almostlosther.com/rekindle-love.htm"><i><u>Rekindle the Love</u></i></a> eBook. It&#8217;s totally free.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As part of the Christian religion I always opted for a Christian relationship (or marriage) counselor to help us with our relationship problems. We weren&#8217;t married, but we&#8217;re from a Christian background and we dearly loved each other so it wasn&#8217;t a stretch to try to take some advice from a Christian relationship counselor. My experience was good, and I think I did benefit from the discussions. However, I would have to say I got a whole lot more relevant information from an online relationship guru. </p>
<p>I learned that most religious relationship counseling tends to focus on the religious aspect of the relationship. That wasn&#8217;t a problem for us, and I think focusing specifically on that aspect may have even led us away from the true issues affecting our relationship. </p>
<p>As it turned out, our relationship was not very much different than 99% of all the other relationships out there. We had our ups, downs, in betweens, and moments where we just got too aggravated with one another. We even lost the ability to share our special moments together due to a lack of understanding each other and understanding how relationship grow and move in all sorts of directions. The online relationship advice we got, from a man named <a href="http://www.almostlosther.com/relationship-advice">T.W. Jackson</a>, showed us how to grow with it. </p>
<p>T.W Jackson helped us indentify the exact root cause of our troubles and his methods explained exactly how we can work with our issues to eliminate them entirely. This had nothing to do with our religious belief, which we both still practice faithfully, but it had everything to do with typical relationship growing pains. </p>
<p>So, in the comparison of what helped us more, the Christian marriage counselor or T.W. Jackson, we would have to pick T.W. Jackson. It really wasn&#8217;t even close. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you ever wonder why some couples stay happy together? What makes their relationship different from those that failed? What are their secrets that help them remain happy in their relationship through thick and thin? </p>
<p>Couples have different ways of showing their love for each other in order to stay happy. Here are their top three secrets:</p>
<p><strong>Always demonstrate your love</strong></p>
<p>Now that you are together there is no need to be shy to show your love. A simple hug or a sweet kiss can already put a smile on your partner’s face. Do not hesitate to prove your undying devotion. Your partner will surely appreciate your effort and more likely do the same thing for you in return. </p>
<p>If you constantly show your love, you will erase any doubt in your partner’s mind. Say “I love you” often and be sweet and corny some of the time. It will keep your relationship happy and fun. This way you will feel secured and confident being together.</p>
<p><strong>Always communicate</strong></p>
<p>Constant communication does not only apply to long distance relationships. It is just as important if you and your partner live together or are near each other. When you are together, listen to each other. Talk bout your relationship and your future plans as a couple. Hear each other out especially when sharing your ideas and opinions on certain matters. </p>
<p>When your partner has a problem, lend her your ear and give advice if he/she asks. Always be there for each other no matter what. Give your partner a card or a gift during special occasions like your anniversary or birthdays. Call him/her at work or send him/her a message to show you’re thinking about him/her. Your thoughtfulness can charm your partner and make you happy.</p>
<p><strong>Always spend precious time together</strong></p>
<p>One way to stay happy in a relationship is to always spend quality time together. Spend weekends together; go to a movie or dinner date at least once per week. Time is important and you have to make use of it to build your relationship and make it last.</p>
<p>These top secrets of couples who stay happy can also work on you. Just follow their example and you will be in the right track toward your own happy life together.</p>
