Love and Relationships

love relationshipsAre you in a committed healthy romantic relationship that's very good for not only you, but equally for the person you love. Love and relationships are to become made for ever, not only a few days. Take a look into getting your life much more enjoyable and purposeful by realizing how to act when it comes to those you care most for.

The greatest thing to do in a romantic relationship is to care for the other person´s needs ahead of your own. Being selfless is the core of what love is all about. If you're having issues with selfishness you need to deal with them successfully ahead of coming into a marriage or other serious personal relationship. Why pull another individual into your issues? In the event you really desire to help them, you'll need to put them before yourself. This suggests sacrifice. Selfish individuals aren't prepared to make sacrifices for other people. If you're this way, save the individual you claim to adore the painfulness of finding out.

An additional significant factor of love and relationships will be the neglected virtue of commitment. Society tends to make it difficult for a guy and a lady to maintain the dedication of holy matrimony. Within the United states of america one is actually compelled to fork out much more taxes should you be married than should you just stay together. But what does "staying together" tell society? It tells the world you desire the pleasures and advantages of matrimony with no dedication. Again, this really is selfish. Don't forget; love isn't self-centered. Do the right thing. In case you genuinely would like to live for a partner, make an open public commitment of holy matrimony and get the advantages of a clear conscience as well.

For anyone who is seeking to become married to end your being lonely, this is a self-centered reason. Are you going into a marriage to help make yourself happier? How many individuals are doing this very thing and rendering their lives and the lives of others unpleasant during the process? Love and relationships are created to be mutually satisfying to both persons. If one side starts to have unrealistic expectations, it could be a ticking time bomb of feelings. What will happen when both parties have unrealistic expectations? This really is a formula for failure. When coming into critical personal romantic relationships, it can be very good to have wide open communication channels. You ought to discuss all the expectations you might have plus the other half must do likewise. The word "all" is emphasized in that previous sentence. Money, sex, the long term, kids and any other important topic should be brought out in to the discussion and frankly pointed out. Getting transparent and sincere may be the greatest policy in romance.

Love and relationships are to be held in high esteem when they're seen within the bonds of marriage. This partnership will be the bonding fabric of humankind. In case you mess it up, you aren't doing anybody a favour. About three of five marriages in the Usa are faltering, according to available data. Do not be a contributor of this break down of the social structure.

In case you are not one to keep your word, especially in marriage, it's best to keep out of the romantic relationship. Get your life in order. Grow to be the person that others can model their existence around. Later on, enter into a meaningful romantic relationship that makes the other person the object of importance. Be selfless and become happy.

Love Stories and Romantic Novels

Romantic storiesAnything is possible in love. Imagine this situation. A doctor falls in love with a nurse who works closely with him in the local hospital. Both start dating, but somewhere the doctor realizes he doesn’t love the nurse anymore. The heartbroken nurse is looking for someone to mend her broken heart. She ends up meeting the doctor’s cousin somewhere. Before you know it, the cousin and the nurse start dating. They both realize they love each other, think about getting married, and everybody is happy. End of story. Think it was a stupid plot? Well, think again.
The story mentioned above is actually the plot of a best selling novel. If one has to break down the plots of most romantic novels, they would actually seem quite silly. So why then are most of the romantic novels in the world such bestsellers then? Because love sells. Love stories simply stand the test of time, and give generations hope on which to build their perfect love story. The earliest love stories were often told in the form of songs, or ballads passed down from one generation to another, till they were written as stories to read. Then came the immortal ‘Romeo and Juliet’, which gave birth to the notion that dying for love was a heroic act. One would find similar love stories from across the world, such as Laila- Majnu or Heer- Ranjha. Each celebrating love.
The truth is that love stories will love on. Boys will hope they find a woman who will stand by them and girls will keep hoping they find men who will die for them. It is not for nothing that generations have grown up on Mills and Boons, and Danielle Steele. It is all part of the race in the search for the perfect love story.

Relationship Advice for Women – Positive Affirmations for Love!

Feel of love
I think it would be fare to say that everyone has attempted to make a few changes in their life at one point or another. And, I’m willing to bet that you have as well. Perhaps you’ve tried to increase your self-esteem, eliminate your fears, achieve financial freedom or attract love? In response to those common aspirations, many folks have turned to positive affirmations as a solution. However, I must confess, there has been a plethora of inaccurate and disingenuous information published regarding positive affirmations. Today, I’m going to cut through all the jargon and give you the straight and skinny. Bottom line, an affirmation is a tool. It can be an effective tool, but it is still just a tool nonetheless. And, if you attempt to use that tool without addressing your core fears and insecurities, you will fail! Think of it like this. The affirmation is the tool or hammer. But, if you attempt to swing it with a broken arm, you won’t drive the nails home. Therefore, I’m going to show you how to build a strong arm so you can effectively swing the hammer. To accomplish this, I’m going to use a bit of an allegoric exercise.

You may recall the old SNL skit called “Daily Affirmations” that was performed by Al Franken, whereby he played a motivational, self-help character by the name of Stuart Smalley. The character was intended to be a spoof on individuals who are obsessed with the actual act of going to therapy. Stuart became quite famous for directing folks to look in the mirror and affirm the following coined phrase “I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone It, people like me!” I’m going to take Stuart Smalley’s skit a bit further. For the sake of teaching you how to use affirmations effectively, let’s add a second mirror. OK! So now we’ve got two mirrors. How about if we call the first (PAM) for positive affirmation mirror? And, let’s call the second (FEM) for Fear and Ego Mirror.

OK! Let’s begin the exercise by defining the goal. For this particular example, let’s pretend that you are attempting to attract love. To get started with the exercise, I’d like you to walk over to (PAM) and look directly in the mirror. Next, repeat the following affirmation three times:

“I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone It, people love me for who I am!”

To proceed, walk over to (FEM) and look directly into the mirror. As your gazing into your eyes, a voice suddenly emerges from the subconscious abyss. It’s your ego, and he’s by no means an optimist! Immediately, he begins to pummel you with the following barrage of negativity:

“You’re not good enough, you’re stupid, and doggone it, no one loves you because you’re a loser!”

OK! Now, head back over to (PAM) and repeat the following affirmation three times:

“I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone It, people love me for who I am!”

Next, walk back over to (FEM,) and get ready to brace yourself for the following:

“You’re not good enough, you don’t deserve a loving partner, and doggone it, no one loves you because you’re not pretty or smart!”

Are you beginning to grasp the concept? This counterproductive cycle can be repeated indefinitely, and on some occasions it is, without dealing with (FEM) or the ego. At the end of the day, you can verbally affirm anything you’d like, but it won’t come to light if your subconscious, self-limiting beliefs are standing in the way. If you want to strengthen your arm, you must relinquish your fears and insecurities. You’ve got to take a course of action that is a direct and opposite response to the fear. For example, if you’ve been struggling with personal identity issues, you’ve probably spent most of your time pleasing others, often at your own peril. Basically, stop appeasing others and start pleasing yourself! If you question your intelligence or worthiness, this is likely a result of the unfettered opinions of others. Stop listening to such verbal garbage by kindly informing the guilty party or parties that it’s inappropriate. And moreover, tell them that you don’t really care what they think! Truthfully, what you think is the only thing that matters!

In summary, positive affirmations can be great tools, but there’s really no escaping the inner journey. You can use affirmations like “I am attracting the right person with the right qualities. He/she will appear when I am ready,” however, to make it effective you must correct the issues at the core. Do you possess the qualities that you’re describing? If not, it’s ludicrous to assume that you will attract a partner that does – merely by stating your intention! In essence, love is like a magnet. Consequently, it can not be forced or chased. When you get right down to it, attracting love or a soul mate is not complicated. However, it does take courage. And, that is why most folks are unsuccessful. Bottom line, you must relinquish your fears and insecurities and grow to love yourself. When you accomplish that task, love will find you!
