Staying Up Nights Wondering About Making the Marriage Work?

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

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.

Forget Worrying About Making the Marriage Work – Think about Why Marriages Fail

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.

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.

Requirements To Nurture a Relationship?

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.

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.

Does My Ex Still Love Me Online Quiz

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

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’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’re garbage!

Look, people are very different. They have different dreams, desires and needs. There’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’t at that stage just yet.

You need to get the word directly from the horse’s mouth. Sorry, I didn’t mean to insult anyone in that last sentence, it’s just a figure of speech; meaning, let her or him tell you how they feel. There’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.

Far too often people bottle their feelings inside their heads for years because they’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’s well worth it, especially if you’re still in love. This one move can be the difference between a life full of happiness and a life full of “what if” questions.

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 Relationship Saving Techniques that really helped.

Don’t Know What You’ve Got Till It’s Gone

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

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.

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.

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.

Always demonstrate your love

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.

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.

You Don’t Need Christian Marriage Counselors to Save Your Christian Marriage

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

Marriage problems affect all kinds of people from all different types of religions and beliefs, including Christianity, which is the focus of this article. Unfortunately, the mere ideal of marriage in regards to your belief doesn’t always prevent you from experiencing the same problems that the majority of married couples tend to go through. However, marriage problems in Christian marriages tend to go unfixed because the mere contact of Christian marriage counselors is often looked upon negatively.

There is another way…

Let me be the first to say that I come from a family of Christians and they’re all very good, loving people. But like all religious beliefs, Christians sometimes assume that their marital troubles will all go away in due time from prayer and asking for a higher power to eliminate them. This isn’t always the case. And I think it’s a perfect example of the Christian belief that God helps those that help themselves.

How can we help ourselves?

First, we need to realize that having marriage problems is painful, but it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Many people, regardless of their religion, have marital issues. Sure Christian marriages share the common base belief of living a life under God, but that doesn’t immune them from many of the same issues most other face.

Second, we need to understand each side (husband or wife) of the marriage has needs and wants that may differ from the other side. That’s normal. And many of these wants and needs change over time. If one is not willing to change with it, problems will pop up.

Third, realize that your relationship problems may very likely have nothing to do with religion. Most of the time, relationship troubles and religious beliefs are two separate entities. Confusing the two can many times prevent you from getting to the route cause of the issues. And that means seeking the support of Christian Marriage Counselors won’t likely get to the core relationship issue.

And finally, take action on your own. Find some advice from someone that knows what men and women desire fundamentally out of a marriage. One great resource known for solving thousands of relationship problems is the online relationship specialist T.W. Jackson. Click here and see a video by T.W.
