Will a Man Change After Marriage?
2008-04-22 20:56:00
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~I mentioned that I will be on a break but just last week, a newly-wed friend was talking to me about some troubles in her marriage. It saddens me to know of her situation. So it got me to write this article that I hope could help some of the women out there who are experiencing some rocky times.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~When it comes to change, we have to understand that it is something which cannot be forced on a person. Change has to come from WITHIN. The person should want to change because he/she really WANTS to.In relationships, women try to change everything about their man. They try to change his clothes, hair, the way he walks and talks...anything they feel would need some kind of improvement.Women think: Well since I can't get my dream man, I might as well turn him into the man of my dreams! Then they go waving their magic wand on the man, hoping their spell would work permanently.On the other hand, men do not...

Too Tough To Hold On, Too Good To Let Go.
2008-02-25 17:03:00
Arguments are unavoidable in relationships. In fact, arguments are essential doses to healthy relationships, provided both partners take each argument as a potential to grow and learn. Then again, just how much argument is healthy and how much is too much? If you find yourself in a relationship that is in constant argument and neither you nor your partner are truly as happy as you were before - then it might be time to ask yourself if it would be better to move on and let go. Often times when couples have been together for long and known each other too well, the thought of letting go is almost unimaginable. When things between a man and a woman has become too comfortable, we enter a stage that I would call the 'comfort zone'. When you have known each other inside out as a couple, doing things together and always having someone to talk to, the familiarity would have become a part of your whole life that it is almost like a routine. Naturally, the thought of suddenly not having him ...

How We Think and Communicate~The Difference Between Men & Women~
2008-02-14 10:30:00
Women are big when it comes to the LITTLE things. We love it when a man opens the door for us. We often EXPECT the man in our life to notice it when we just had a new haircut or when we are wearing the new dress. We simply love it when a man does the little thoughtful things. We are also thrilled when he does bigger things for us like buying roses or taking us on that romantic travel getaway. Basically, women NOTICE EVERYTHING, big or small. Men are opposites. They have a need to feel successful. They do not thrive on the small but the BIG things. They define success in terms of how big their house is, the type of car they own and how high they are up the corporate ladder. Therefore, it is not surprising that the job a man holds, is how he identifies himself as a man. His workplace is where he connects himself with, where he has the opportunity to be a winner and to be successful. Men are competitive. They want to be seen as successful in comparison to other men. They want the woman...

The key is to spend the day with ...

Learning To Love After a Painful Breakup - PART 3
2008-01-30 14:21:00
How do you bounce back from a negative experience? Now, getting over a painful breakup is not easy but I am going to teach you a method that can help you to neutralize your feelings and anger. This method is called the Distortion Technique. This powerful technique is used by NLP experts and I have used this myself to get over some of my negative experiences. First of all, think of a painfully bad breakup you had in the recent past. One that still makes you upset when you think about it. It could be when you saw your ex-boyfriend getting intimate with another woman or a huge argument you both had which he never gave you a chance to explain. Are you ready? Now, just pick ONE bad experience and close your eyes as you play this painful experience in your mind. Play it like you are watching a movie. See yourself watching the movie with you starring in it. Play the whole movie from the beginning until you come to the end of the experience. Then, imagine pausing the movie at the end. At th...

Learning to Love After a Painful Breakup - PART 2
2008-01-19 06:52:00
We all have an idea of 'the right man' for ourselves. We develop ideas of how he should act and behave and what kind of character we want in him. We want everything about him to be 'perfect'. To find 'the right man', ask yourself: "Am I the right woman for him?" If you are striving to find that 'right man', then it only makes sense that you must be 'the right woman' for him.The small self-assessment that I provided in PART 1 is very useful so you can understand yourself better and where you are coming from. Self-assessment is the first step towards being a better you. It provides the initial platform towards a better love life. So make sure not to skip it. After the self-assessment, make an effort and take steps to improve your relationship by eliminating the self-limiting behaviours that you might have. For example, you have a fear that one day, your partner might leave you just like what happened in your past relationship. The fear of getting hurt made you hold back your...

Learning To Love After a Painful Breakup - PART 1
2008-01-08 18:23:00
No one likes the feel of being alone. When a man and a woman get together, they seek to find love through each other. The road to finding love is not always smooth sailing. It is actually a journey of constant learning. Recall the time when you were a teenager. How you felt when you fell in love for the first time - the uplift, the joy, the bliss, the happiness - you felt like nothing else in the world mattered except the two of you. You were both young and curious about each other. You both wanted to know what it felt like to be in love. And you were both HAPPY. Then it happened - the painful breakup. You told yourself you would get through it and you did, eventually. Then you met a new man and ventured into a new relationship that ended up in yet another painful break up. You told yourself that just like all the other relationships you've had in the past, you will get through this one. You convinced yourself that you will move on. The whole cycle of loving and breaking continued ...

Beauty Queen vs The Girl Next Door
2007-12-31 06:59:00
I hear a lot of women complaining about men being shallow. They only go for good looking women. If this is true, how is it that the average looking women still end up with a good man and eventually getting married? How is it also, that women who look like models have a hard time finding men? Could it be that these model beauty queens are more fussy and have higher expectations when it comes to men?Of the studies I have read, it is shown that men would rather go out with the girl-next-door than the beauty queen. Men enjoy the company of a woman who is approachable, friendly and is able to carry off a decent conversation.Beautiful women are very used to getting approached by men. They know they can get almost anything they want due to their good looks. They believe men are truly only interested in their external beauty. Since these beautiful women get approved by men a lot, they sometimes forget to work on other qualities other than their looks. As a result, they can appear snobbish a...
