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.

Your First Step to Getting Back Your Ex Boyfriend

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Break ups are something that almost all of us go through sometime in our lives but they can be a very painful experience, especially if there are some feelings that still remain. Some relationships end because it’s the best thing to do, for both parties. However, plenty of loving relationships break up for all the wrong reasons, then one or both sits around thinking about what might have been for the rest of their lives.

If you still have feelings for your ex boyfriend and would like to win his love back then you need to be very specific in your approach. Don’t go on an apologizing frenzy and pester the heck out of him apologizing for anything and everything you had ever done. This makes you look too needy and it takes away from the genuine issue – the thing that broke up your relationship.

Most relationships break up because there is one or maybe even a few lingering issues that are dividing two couples and slowly building a level of resentment in one or both sides. If this issue (or issues) isn’t addressed then it will reach a boiling point which typically comes in the form of someone calling it quits.

The core issue that resulted in the break up needs to be identified and discussed with your ex boyfriend if you are ever going to reconcile. Any form of getting back together without addressing the issues that resulted in the split will not be successful long term. Remember, communication is the key to a happy relationship.

The First Step to Getting Back an Ex Girlfriend

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

There are many reasons why relationships split up and move in separate directions. Some reasons are for the better, some are for the worse. Only you and your girlfriend know why your relationship parted ways, and that’s good, because you will need to know that in your attempt to win back your girlfriend.

Many guys make the mistake after breaking up and go on an apologizing spree. They apologize for everything they ever done and for many things that they didn’t do as well. This is the absolutely wrong approach. Not only does this make you out to be desperate, but it also makes you out to be uncommitted in your effort to get her back.

Realize this, apologizing for everything makes it look like you’re focusing on nothing. Honestly, if you knew you were doing so many things wrong in the first place why would you be so apologetic now? It just seems like a fraud.

You need to come across as being genuine, and that’s why you absolutely need to focus on the one thing that caused your relationship to part ways. If you don’t address that one thing, and you both get back together, then you will always have that issue lurking down on you both ready to pop out again.

Sometimes it isn’t one specific thing that causes the relationship to break up but more of a combination of many things. If this is the case, then you really need to identify the most important issues that shoved a wedge between you and your ex and come up with a plan to eliminate them. They will not go away on their own.

Is Getting Back with Your Ex The Right Thing to Do?

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

It’s certainly not easy separating with your ex. You will certainly experience varying levels of pain, but that comes with the task. Confusion is the next biggest hurdle. At what point can we be fully confident that we did the right thing?

Look, some relationships need to come to an end, and the faster the better. These are the people that seemed to fight like mortal enemies right from the get go. It certainly isn’t surprising when these folks call it quits. In fact, it much more surprising when they continue to brutalize each other and stay together. I was in one of these types of relationships in my life. There was no second-guessing myself after this break up - thank God it’s over!

Then there are relationships that always seemed to juggle from good times, to the ok times, to the not-so-good times. These relationships can last forever. I see it happen all the time. Is everyone happy forever? They can be. Breaking up in these types of relationships isn’t fun and it certainly can be devastating.

Most of my relationships throughout my life fell into this category. Breaking up certainly wasn’t fun, but I certainly got over it. Do I think I did the right thing with these break ups? Absolutely. And I’m proud to say that I remain friends with most of these girls.

But every once in a while we find ourselves in a relationship that seems so good that you think there was a higher power responsible for it. Life is good in these types of relationships. You both love the way you feel around each other and tend to day dream about each other when you’re apart. I know, many relationships start this way, but fade after you get to know them.

I’m talking about the relationships where the feelings get stronger the more you get to know the other person. These relationships can be the ingredients of true love. Very sadly, sometimes these relationships come to an end as well. And sometimes the reasons for the end aren’t so clear. I had one of these relationships in my life… and I have to say there was a time when we had broken up, and it was devastating.

Where does your relationship with your ex fit in?

You have to be truthful with yourself. If you truly had a good thing with your ex, then it may not be something you want to give up on. Happiness and a fulfilling life with someone you truly love is absolutely worth pursuing. I was in this situation myself and I took action and every day I feel like I won the lottery.

Take a look at how I won my girl back.

How to Make A Relationship Last

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

It doesn’t matter if you’re currently in a strong relationship or in a relationship that’s on the brink of collapse, the ingredients to making a relationship last are still the same, they just need to be applied.

Before we get to some of those ingredients, let’s be sure to note that all lasting relationships require two compatible people that truly love the way they feel around each other. That’s the basics.

People often ask couples that have been together 30 plus years what held them together so long and they usually reply how much they loved the way their partner made them feel. They see themselves as more successful and happier around their partner. This is all very true. However, these things can fade and can be replaced by “relationship static.”

Relationship static is what two loving couples experience when the communication between the two starts to decline or is eliminated altogether. Communication is a must, and it doesn’t matter how much you love the other person, without good lines of communication, the relationship will be in jeopardy.

Now, I’m not talking about basic communication. I’m talking about the active listening – the hearing of your partners desires, fears, thoughts, annoyances, etc. And truly listening and taking an interest in your partner’s requests and responses.

Many of us in long term relationships ask our partners the basics (how are you doing, how was your day at work, etc.) and we tend to block out the long responses – we only hear the static.

Partners need someone to lean on – someone to reinforce their beliefs, ideals and dreams. Without this support there’s a void, and trouble will come sooner or later.

Active communication does take a little effort, but the rewards to your happiness are truly enormous. So it is safe to say, after the basics, communication is key to a lasting relationship.

I was in a loving relationship that suddenly ended. It took me a while before I found the advice on how to actually make my partner happy

See how I won my partner back and how we’re taking our relationship to the next level.
