The things you thought you knew about love become all mirage in your mind because you are blinded by hurt. Bad breakups are emotionally draining.

Use Your Actions: When ‘I Love You’ Isn’t Enough

How often do we say the magic words, “I love you”, and then act in ways that communicate something else? Here are some examples to illustrate my point: New Mom: While my partner goes to a daily job and interacts with the world, my big outings are to Costco and Safeway. For 10 months I consistently say, “I need a date”, but you smile and reply, “I want to stay home with my two beauties because I love you.” Really? Show me the love. Make a dinner reservation! New Father: I change both diapers and engine oil, but I can’t show up on your radar. We had tons of bedtime fun when our baby was a twinkle in my eye. But now, when I make a move, you say, “I love you, but not tonight” — for 9 months. Really? Show me the love. Talk to me about a potential solution. Husband: I’ve supported your eBay business and trusted you with using our joint credit card to fund it. But you charged twice the amount we agreed. Now, you blow off my concern with a flippant response that ends with, “I love you.” Really...

8 Ways To Strengthen Your Relationship.

Image
Love is perhaps our most powerful emotion, and the need to be in a loving relationship may be one of the strongest needs we have. Being in an intimate relationship makes us feel connected, not only to our partner, but also to the world at large. When our hearts are filled with love, we feel profoundly content and satisfied. We become more patient, more empathetic, kinder, gentler. But personal intimacy doesn’t merely affect our emotional well-being. According to numerous scientific studies, the power of love directly affects our physical health, too, by boosting our immune system, improving our cardiovascular functioning, and increasing our life expectancy. “Love and intimacy are at the root of what makes us sick and what makes us well,” says Dean Ornish, M.D., who explores the connections between love and health in his book Love & Survival (HarperCollins). “When you look at the scientific data, the need for love and intimacy is as important and basic as eating, breathing, an...

You’re In Love With Someone Off-Limits; So Now What?

Image
Falling in love with someone off-limits is undoubtedly complicated and rarely ideal. We’ve got 4 tips for navigating your own off-limits romance. 1) Determine if the person really is off-limits. People who are otherwise open-minded can be very judgmental about love, sometimes ruling out anyone who isn’t their “type.” Here’s the truth: There’s a chance that the person who could love you best isn’t as tall, muscular, or accomplished as you think you’d like. Superficial traits aren’t inherent dealbreakers. So who’s really, truly off-limits? Someone in a serious committed relationship. There are few other people to add to the list: people who show no interest in you despite your obvious interest in them, who are bitter and jaded from previous relationships, or who exhibit a lot of ‘red flags’. 2) Don’t rush in. Of course, what starts off-limits doesn’t always stay off-limits. Sometimes people fall in love in messy circumstances that could hurt other people. It’s not ideal, but it’s a...

Valentine’s Day Gifts that Truly Say I Love You

Image
A day to show the people we love just how much we love them, Valentine’s Day is definitely special. It’s one of those days where you don’t really want to spend a ton on a gift, but you want to get the right gift. And that’s really what it’s all about – knowing your lover well enough to get them the right gift. And what do I mean by the right gift? I like to think of the right gift as whatever will make the recipient’s heart smile. The right gift is important because giving a gift is a chance to show someone that you love and appreciate them and all that they do for you. The best gifts can be anything from a piece of jewelry to an experience together. It’s not about how much money you spend, but rather it’s about how much time you spend selecting a gift that will make the one you love happy. Here are a few Valentine’s Day gift ideas that I think do a great job of expressing true love and appreciation. Obviously you can make your final decision based on what you know about the love...

Do you want to know the secrets on capturing a man’s heart? Who doesn’t right? Whether it’s a boyfriend, husband, or a long-time crush, women would practically do anything to make their man fall hopelessly in-love with them. I’m sure you also want the same thing. So, I will no longer keep you in great suspense. Here are 12 things you can do to capture his heart and make him love you forever: 1. FOCUS ON YOUR SELF  Probably one of the classic mistakes made by most women is this: They tend to lose their identity once they fall in love. They forget about their social life, life passions, career, and isolate themselves from friends and family. Here’s a quick question. Have you ever thought that perhaps it was the old you that really caught his attention? Don’t fall into this trap as he will miss the independent, confident woman he met in the first place. 2. TELL HIM If he did something annoying, tell him. If you have feelings for him, tell him. Remember, men were not born with ps...

Things You Should Never Do For A Lover

Things You Should Never Do For A Lover You’ve Not Married: Love is about giving in and giving up a few things, but… 1. Don’t change your personality. Now, they say you should change for the one you love. Yes, that is true. But when the changing comes from you alone and it seems like you’re being re-manufactured, then something is wrong. No man or woman should attempt to change you entirely, unless you really have bad habits. Aside this, in the event that you’re separated, the hurt will be worsened by the fact you won’t recognise yourself. You’ll be nothing without that person. A person who loves you must accept the real you. 2. Don’t abandon your dreams: This is another one you should be careful about. Two people in love ca exist without killing each other’s dreams. It is a good thing for both of you to alter your careers and dreams to accommodate each other. But there is a limit. A true lover would aid your dream, ask you to abandon it. Work out a middle way. If you lose your ...

Ladies: 3 Surprising Ways To Help Bring Him Closer

Have you ever found yourself falling for a man you were dating and wondered if he was feeling the same way? Did you find yourself trying to prove what a great catch you are by being sweeter, funnier and smarter in hopes that he would fall in love with you? Focusing on what a man wants and ingratiating yourself in this way may feel like the natural thing to do, but it’s the worst way to try to make a man feel romantic love for you. Love isn’t a reasonable emotion – and being “nice” and “understanding” and “a good sport” won’t get you where you want to go. Here are some ways that will: Tip#1: Don’t give a man more than he gives you Love, and inspiring a man to fall in love with you forever, is all about you being able to receive love. Most of us only know how to give. We give for lots of reasons – because we’re taught that’s the way to get to a man’s heart (it isn’t) because we see other women do it, and because deep down, it feels uncomfortable and scary to be vulnerable enough to reall...

3 Times When “It Just Happened” Isn’t An Acceptable Answer

The “it just happened” mindset is ruining relationships and marriages everyday. Accountability and self-reflection is a key factor in developing healthy relationships, because the more accountable we are to ourselves the more accountable we will be to our mates. Refuse to just let things “just happen” in your relationships and love your mate intentionally and on purpose! 1) I cheated on you……”it just happened!” PSA it didn’t just happen…. you CHOSE to do it. You did the flirting, you exchanged information, you entertained the Facebook messages and conversations, you started sexting, you set up the visits. You agreed to meet up; you kissed, you had s*x then you continued to do it. Those weren’t circumstances they were choices, and the quicker we decide to admit them, the less likely we are to repeat the behavior. 2) She’s pregnant….”it just happened!” I understand that sometimes kids are conceived “by accident” , but I also know that it didn’t “just happen!” The structure, time, money, ...

Myths That Could Destroy Your Relationship

Modern relationship myths are responsible for many break-ups. If you’re in a relationship, don’t fall prey to these insidious beliefs. They will ruin your chances of long-term happiness. Myth #1: Relationships Are Hard Work When you believe that relationships are hard work, then your love life becomes about as much fun as cleaning the toilets and mopping floors. When you’re in a relationship with your beloved, being together shouldn’t be a chore. Relationships do, however, require attention. Fortunately, when you’re in love, you want to spend time with your mate. When tending to the relationship is a shared goal, then enjoying life together becomes a pleasure and a privilege! Myth #2: Love Means Never Having to Say You’re Sorry Quite the opposite — love means that when you mess up, you apologize. Your partner will see the best of you and the worst of you. They’ll see you when you’re angry, tired, hungry, and sleep deprived. If you are cranky, or worse, nasty, even when it feels like yo...

Most people these days keep believing is he doesn't love me now, he would come to love me later, but please stop deceiving yourself and starting seeing the possibilities. Is he doesn't love you now you don't have to stay, welcome someone who will completely appreciate you for who you are.
