Yet, just as it is that difficult to find someone, it’s also one of the best ways to find people. Long gone are the days when you could find someone, just about anyone, by picking up the phone book and looking up their name. Today, more people stay out of the phone book than they stay in. When you need to find people, find them using the web’s resources.

Confide To Be Less Angry In Your Marriage

Jose and Juanita have been married for 17 years, and basically love each other, yet have been fighting over the same issue almost every night of those years: She likes it cold at night and he likes it warm in their house and bedroom. She had just opened their bedroom windows for the night. When she left to visit the bathroom, she heard Jose follow her and close all the windows.

Let’s eavesdrop to see what we can learn about this fight and what to do about it.

—(curtain up)—

Juanita: (to Jose)"I can’t sleep unless the windows are wide open. You know that, but insist on closing them every night, just so I’ll be miserable. You are selfish and inconsiderate."

Jose: (to Juanita):"This is my house too. Why should I have to freeze? You always get your way. It is so cold in here you could hang meat! Are you trying to get me sick? No NORMAL person would want it this cold!"

(curtain down)

IS THIS A SOLVABLE PROBLEM?

Depends on the specific marriage. For some couples, the solution would be a simple compromise of some sort; for instance, buy a room thermometer and agree to always keep the room at an agreed upon temperature both could live with.

In many marriages, however, a problem like this is not easily solved—it becomes “perpetual”—and trying to “solve” it only creates anger and tension. For Jose and Juanita, this unfortunately was the case.

Why is a simple problem like this not solvable for our couple and in many other marriages? Could be many reasons, but the usual culprits are:

(1) The couple is engaged in a “power” or “control” struggle. This means the fight isn’t about the issue anymore—it is about who will win or lose.

(2) The temperature issue goes deeper and is emotionally tied into other personal or marital issues. If this is the case, the more pressure put on the person to “change,” the more the person resists.

For instance, turns out that Juanita literally panics if in a room without air flow due to issues in her childhood. Depriving her of fresh air flow literally makes her want to fight for her life.


CONFIDING MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Let’s now listen in on what Jose and Juanita could have said that may have made a HUGE difference in their communication.

This is because now they are speaking from their hearts —combining empathy (seeing things from the viewpoint of the other) with assertive communication (honestly speaking your feelings and thoughts in a forthright manner)

Juanita (should have said something like):"I feel that I don’t have to put up with this, although I also feel bad that you have to suffer. I tell myself that if you really loved me, you would want me to be comfortable at night.

I also ask myself why should I always give in? I work hard all day too and deserve some consideration. All I’m asking for is a decent night’s sleep, but then, I wonder if I am being too selfish."

Jose (should have said something like):"I do really love you and I want you to be comfortable too, but it gets so cold in here at night for me that I can’t sleep.

We both want a good night’s sleep and want to be able to continue sleeping together in the same room. Let’s find a way to discuss it so it doesn’t make us so angry at each other."

Granted, it is not easy to confide when in the heat of marital battle. Consequently, it is often better to first take a time out, calm down and then communicate what is in your heart. The following communication tips will help:


FOUR COMMUNCIATION TIPS

Tip 1- Don’t only focus on the issue. Also discuss your feelings, thoughts, and inner conflicts surrounding the issue. Confide what is going on in both your heart and your mind.

Tip 2- Look at how you communicate with each other ABOUT the issue. Focus on the process of communication.

Tip 3- Give up needing to be right all the time. Wise and successful married people have discovered that often it is preferable to be happy than to be right!

Tip 4- Convey to your partner that you love them enough to want to join them so together you can find a way to deal with the issue or problem.

10 Tips To Get Over Your Ex As Quickly As Possible

Getting over your ex is something that most of us have to do at some point in our life. Some people more than others. When the ex means a divorce in involved then the break up is all the more harder.

It is said that time is a great healer and that is true, but also taking action is vital. Just what action should you take?

Here is some practical advice to deal with life after a break up, relationship break down or divorce.

1. Make a clean break. As tempting as it can be, if you are still in love with your EX, and they don't reciprocate the feelings and intensity, then you're better off making a clean break. This is true every time. Ex lover rarely make good friends after a break up.

2. Delete all telephone numbers, email address and the like that contain your ex’s details. Keeping temptation at bay is vital.

3. Clear out as many personal items as you can. Obviously keeping practical stuff is important, but, if you’re using your ex’s left behind items to remember them, then that’s no good. Clear them out as soon as possible.

4. Treat yourself. Make sure you get used to enjoying yourself without your ex partner. Prove to yourself, your ex and others that you can smile again in spite of the circumstances. A divorce doesn’t mean you can’t laugh a lot.

5. Let your frustrations, anger and bitterness come out. Write down your feeling or get some counselling. Even if it’s just a friend who will listen to you for a while. Blow off steam – it’s natural.

6. Cleanse your current situation by buying new things for the house. New bedding and kitchen utensils are something you use every day. Get new items. Your life is still going to go on so distance yourself from the things you used with your ex. It will work wonders for you.

7. Give yourself time to heal. You don’t need to rush into a new relationship until your ready. Advice given to me as I was going through my divorce was to ‘clear the decks emotionally.’ Superb advice, you don’t need to rebound till its right for you.

8. Eliminate any negative self-talk. It’s easy to feel sorry for yourself after a break up. It can help you only for a very short while at the beginning. If you keep talking yourself down then you’ll find it harder to move on when the time is right for you.

9. Take charge of your life again. Make goals. Set yourself challenges. Maybe you always wanted to abseil or jump from a plane. Maybe learning yoga could be right for you. The world is your oyster.

10. Take comfort in the fact that it does get better each day. Say to yourself ‘every day in every way I’m getting better and better and better.’ It’s true and most people who have been divorced will tell you that suddenly one day you realise that the rest of your life can easily be the best of your life.

Rules Of Flirting

All women are sure that they know how to flirt. But why some women attract crowds of men, and others, quite pretty and charming, are still missing their men? The matter is that flirt also has its own rules, based on non-romantic laws of psychology. Without knowing them, you may be searching for your “dream mate” till old age.

Let’s suppose you saw your dream man on a party or in club. What will each 5th woman do in such situation? She will come to him and start a conversation! What each 10th woman will talk about with him? About culture, art and books she read. And what will each 3rd do? Run away from her quickly! Not because she is ugly or uninteresting. A strange man is just firstly attracted by sexuality, nit intellect.

So, you caught HIS look. Don’t be in a hurry to avert your eyes. Look straightly at him for several seconds more, than it is accepted, then close your eyes slightly, take a breath and look aside. As soon as you see that he averted his eyes with your off-center vision, look at him again… A man treats such trick as a straight hint that a woman wants to become acquainted with him, but is shy to do it herself, so she is stealing a look.

It is better to look over your shoulder, which you should raise slightly upper, than usual. Man associate shoulder (especially if it is naked or covered slightly) with female breast. Advertisers know this trick well, and you often can see a wonderful strange woman on bill boards, looking this way, - this, according to researches, gets men worked up and attracts them.

It is well known, that a naked wrist is also a strong erotic sign. Some psychologists assume, that display of wrist shows trust to a man, a wish to give in to him. If you are also stroking a stem or neck with your hand, looking like you’re lost in thoughts, then this is also a sexual hint understood to any man.

Pose has an important meaning. If you sit hunched, do not even expect a man will come to you. Crooked back, sorry, - is a sign of a senile sickness, even if a young girl is sitting in such pose. So straighten your back, recline, shaking with your hair and checking your skirt (gestures of dolling up). If you wear trousers, put your thumbs behind a belt or an edge of a pocket – this is a gesture of sexual aggression, although what should a man expect from a women wearing trousers? If you are wearing skirt, bind your legs or cross them. This will create an impression of tension of hips muscles and says that a woman is ready for intimate adventures.

If a man is still standing at a bar after you have done all this tricks, - do not waste your time on him, probably, he is too drunk, married or not interested in women at all.

So, after you started conversation, you need to win his favour psychologically.

For this, become … his mirror reflection. How? Very easy – copy his pose and gestures. The essence of this in the fact that your pose should be as closer to a man’s pose, as possible. If in the beginning this is difficult for you, you can copy only a slope of his body, head, position of legs, hands. Imitation of gestures does not mean that you should raise your hand, twist your fingers etc simultaneously with partner. You just should look at gestures, peculiar to a man, and try to “transfer” them on you. If he “chops” a table with his hand, proving some thought, there is sense to do the same thing – this way you will strengthen your mutual understanding.

Another way to win a man’s favour – is to copy a rhythm of his breathing. Shortly speaking, breathe in unison with him. If it is difficult to do, you can imitate rhythm of his breathing, moving your hand or palm. Once you have done this, say a “dominant” idea, which you would like to inform him about. For example: “They say, I’m sexy” – and breathe out sharply. It is a paradox, but truth – your partner will also breathe out automatically, hold his breath for a while and there will be a feeling that his heart sank. This happens when a person agrees with something he just heard. Everyone will like to verify your words in practice.

What to do further? If you want your partner courting you – invite to a café or present a bunch of roses, and he does not hit upon an idea, you can suggest an idea to him. For example, raise your hand on the level of his eyes (you may hold a cigarette or pen in it) and say: “It is so hot here, I just cannot breathe! And in that café it is so cool and comfortable. We will be able to drink some tea!” – or just ask: “Will we go to a café or restaurant?”

This question will create an illusion of choice, but indeed, you will agree to both choices. Or (if you want another date): “Tomorrow in the evening I’m going for a walk. What are you going to do?” It looks like you asked a question, but, in fact, you have already suggested a decision.

A principle of three “yes” works good. A partner should answer positively on your three questions, then he will answer “yea’ on 4th one automatically already. For example: “Don’t you think this evening is terribly dark?” – “Yes”. – “There are no people on streets”. – “Yes”. – “And we are far away from home”. – “Yes”. – “Will you see me home?”

Use all these easy to make ways to ensnare a man and soon you will see that you can choose the one that suits you best of many admirers.

How to Make Him Fall in Love with You

How to Make Him Fall in Love with You? This is a question that women have been asking for ages. Most women believe that you have to be gorgeous to catch the attention of a good looking man. Or thin. Or famous. Or any number of things that pop magazines have spoon fed us over the years. The fact of the matter is that you do not have to look like an anorexic model in order to find your Mister right and make him fall in love with you.

Don't believe me?

Well, here are examples throughout history of plain women who have won the hearts of gorgeous, rich, powerful men: Take Cleopatra for example. While no photographs of her exist, and most people see an image of a young Elizabeth Taylor who played the part in the 1963 Hollywood film version of the Queen's life, historical documents reveal that she was actually quite plain looking. One goes so far as to say that she was "hook nosed." And what of this 1670 quote by Blaise Pascal from his book Pensées: "Had Cleopatra’s nose been shorter, the face of the world would have been changed." Yet she rose to assume her position as Queen of the Nile when she was just 17 years old.

And then there's Helen of Troy, another woman who was not particularly to-die-for beautiful. She went down in history being known as "The Face That Launched a Thousand Ships." And those thousand ships weren't trying to run away from her either. In fact, her powers of seduction were the primary cause of the ten-year war between the Greeks and Trojans.

My point is this, you do not have to look like a supermodel to win the heart of the man of your dreams. You just have to learn the power of seduction that these women used on a daily basis.

Pre-marriage Counselling: Why Would You Bother?

I had a friend who was getting married to her long time partner. They had lived together for a number of years, and owned property together. It seemed that marriage would simply perfect what they had - make it permanent. After my friend told me about their plans, I asked a question: ‘Have you though about pre-marriage counseling?’ The question surprised her.

In the rush, the excitement, not to mention the incredible organizational pressure of organizing your wedding, many people don’t care to think about something as mundane and as sober as pre-marriage counseling. Why rain on the parade? Why descend from cloud nine? Why try to squeeze it in, with all the other things that have to be organized? (Who needs it, anyway?)

Well, this is why: your wedding is one day in your life, but your marriage is all the rest of the days that come after it. No other relationship, except perhaps parenthood, even comes close in terms of the challenges and triumphs of marriage. It is the most intimate relationship created by choice that is humanly possible.

Both couples and individuals seek financial planning to maximize their wealth; businesses value succession planning; students make plans about their career path long before they finish their education. There’s a famous saying that says ‘If you fail to plan, you plan to fail’. Part of planning to succeed in marriage is taking the time to look forward, to survey the land you are going to travel across, taking note of the mountains and the valleys, the difficult crossings and the pleasant, easy places. Pre-marriage counseling will enable you to do that for your marriage.

But isn’t living together a good enough preparation? The answer, unfortunately, is NO. Statistics show that divorces are actually higher among people who marry after having a de-facto relationship with each other. There is something about marriage that distinguishes from simply living together – which means that pre-marriage counseling is incredibly pertinent to de-facto couples. It’s a way of learning how to successfully make the transition from one kind of relationship to another.

What stops people from this kind of preparation? One of the big issues is: “what if the issues raised stop us from getting married?” Here are some points to consider:

Firstly, you may get some surprises. For example it’s possible that, even if you have lived together, some of your partners attitudes to certain things that matter to the relationship (such as communication, gender roles, children) have so far escaped your notice. Pre-marriage counseling will help you see differences that have an impact – not in order to discourage you, but in order to help you plan ways of overcoming or resolving them. Think of it as an opportunity to become creative problem-solvers and relationship builders. Marriage is an art, and you will be honing your relationship skills to a greater level than you ever have before.

You will have the opportunity to understand the issues that are ‘deal-breakers’, and to discuss them, before you enter into ‘wedlock’. Do you both want children? What will you do if it turns out one of you doesn’t? What are your values when it comes to money? What kind of treatment can you live with from your partner? How will you settle disputes? Does one of you have the final say, or is every decision made by consensus?

Secondly, yes, things may come up that give pause to one or both of you – things that may make you decide to postpone your wedding until they are resolved. Don’t be afraid to face these issues before you walk down the aisle. It is easier to work through some issues before the event, than when you are married and the stakes are far higher.

So, where can you go for pre-marriage counseling?

If you are planning to be married in a Christian church, you are very likely to be required to do a certain amount of preparation for marriage. One of the resources that Christian ministers use in Australia is called Prepare, and there may be other, similar resources. Ask the minister celebrating your marriage about marriage preparation when you meet with them.

However, if you are planning a civil ceremony, marriage preparation is still readily available, and of great value. Relationships Australia, or any family and marriage counseling service, can provide the preparation you want. Fees vary, but pre-marital counseling will likely be by far the least expensive item you purchase for your wedding!

If you are open to considering pre-marital counseling (marriage preparation), then you are a candidate for a great marriage. Opening up your relationship to receive advice requires humility, and humility is one quality that creates success in life. Another name for humility is teach-ability. If you and your partner are ready to learn new things about your relationship and how to make it the best it can be, then the world is your oyster.

Marriage & Infidelity: Cheating Spouses Can't Hide Their Extramarital Affairs From The Truth

We all lie. A world without little white lies would be uncivilized. But 99% of us have told bigger lies in our lifespan. For most of us, lies told in our personal life makes us feel bad. However, we still continue to lie and cheat.

Few events cause as much turmoil in a marriage as infidelity, which can reduce a marriage to rubble, shatter trust and create a breeding ground for insecurity, mistrust and resentment. Most of us have witnessed affairs among people we know, and some of us even have had affairs ourselves. This kind of thing happens in the real world, and it happens all the time. One third of all married couples admit to having cheated on their mates. Let's not be naïve. That's quite a large number of people taking risks!

Affairs begin with two people who find each other interesting and attractive. For whatever reason, the relationship escalates into romance and, finally, into sexual intimacy. People who seek romance and sexual intimacy outside of their primary relationship feel that their relationship is missing something, so they go out and they seek it from someone else.

If you feel deep in your heart, that your spouse is lying and being unfaithful to you, here are some ways to be sure. One of the techniques professionals use to tell who is lying, and who is telling the truth is to follow eye movements. Neuro-Linguistic Programming says that when people are constructing imaginary or fantasy images we look up and to the left if we are right-handed and up and to the right if we are left-handed. Think, "What color is my Mom’s hair?" Where did your eyes go? Now think, "I’m an astronaut and when I went to the moon I made a snow-man out of moon dust." Where did your eyes go this time?

In the book, Telling Lies by lie-catcher Paul Ekman, he presents his 'facial action coding system.' These are the facial expressions we all use that are hard-wired to the brain and will show up without our conscious control. Charles Bond, a psychologist at Texas Christian University reported that among 2,520 adults surveyed in 6.3 countries, more than 70% believe that liars tend to avert their gazes and/or stutter, touch, or scratch themselves or tell longer stories than usual.

If you’re spouse is working too many late nights, think about this next time you ask them what their plans are for the night.

Although, there has been some research lately that says this analysis is too simplistic to be counted upon, detectives continue to use it along with other tools. There was a story in Outside Magazine about a detective involved in an investigation of a poaching in a national park. He claimed he could tell within one minute if someone was lying. I got very excited and tracked him down to a sub-station in Wyoming. He said that he teaches his skills to trainees in one hour but he wouldn’t tell me what they were. Maybe he thought I was a secret poacher (which is hard to be in Santa Barbara)

Here are some other ways to tell if your partner or spouse is lying and having an extramarital affair:

1. If their answer to your question is brief, clear, and direct, that is a good sign that it is true.

2. Liars start to elaborate and repeat themselves and sometimes their story or the details change.

3. The more a liar tries, the more you need to worry.

An extramarital affair takes a great deal of energy. The lying, sneaking around, and destroying of evidence all take tremendous amounts of energy. The onset of guilty feelings about having the affair, in the first place, further zaps whatever energy the partner having the affair might still have left. And, guess what all this used energy is a complete waste, because liars cannot control the ‘leakage’ of their true feelings, which run in micro-expressions that last half a second. It is so ordinary, so much a part of our everyday lives and everyday conversations that we hardly notice it.

Special Ways to Say I Love You

Can you say “I love you” too many times? Well, if you don’t really mean it of course you can. Or maybe it’s the unimaginative ways we express it that compel us to stop using the words “I love you” altogether.

Love is not just an emotion or feeling. Love is something we must see with our eyes, not just feel with our heart. In order to keep the word love from being common place we must keep it alive with the things we do for that special person in our life. Be it a soft burning, sweet smelling candle lighting a dark room with a delicious dinner for two on the table, and the soothing sound of music in the background; surprising your sweetheart with something romantic is a great way of showing them how much you love and care for them.

Too many times we think it is enough just to say “I love you” to our sweetheart. We are then off the hook to really work at keeping the relationship fresh and exciting. If you are clueless as what would put the “sparkle” back in your relationship, try a few if these simple things:

Give your sweetheart a wonderful back rub, gently telling them to relax and unwind from their day at work or with the kids, etc. While you are both relaxed, this is a good time to tell them you love them and that they mean the world to you. When you take the time to give them your time and attention without expecting something in return, this makes the word “love” more meaningful.

Try arranging a special day for the two of you to do something the other enjoys. Participate in that activity with them, even though it’s not your favorite thing to do and give them all your attention and just cherish the day. The words “I love you” will come freely from both of you at the end of the day. Your sweetheart will see that you mean what you say by giving of yourself.

If you enjoy writing or are creative you might try your hand at composing a short poem or “love” letter to them, or buy a beautiful card or small little gift. Go ahead and leave it under the bed pillow for them, or anywhere they might be surprised to find it.

How about doing some chores or work around the house before your sweetheart asks you to? Maybe even do something more than they would expect you to do. Before their very eyes it is done, without them nagging you. How much you love them couldn’t be more apparent.

When said at the appropriate times, with just the right feeling from your heart, truly the simple words “I love you” can be the most exhilarating sounds your ears will hear.
