    There are some struggles that come up in long distance relationships, but aren't there struggles in relationships that are in the same town as well?

    Trust Is the Number 1 Deal Breaker in All Relationships.  

    I have seen so many relationships fail for the lack of trust.

    What Are Those Love Emotions?

    Love is definitely a paradox. You can be in a relationship with love and still have an abundance of negative emotions swirling around everywhere.

    Think of those situations where you love your partner and you’re in an argument. There are moments when you could just scream! You could throw something out the window. Yeah, love can be attached to loathing too.

    Healing from the Pain of Infidelity as a Couple

    When someone commits infidelity it doesn’t always mean they want to end their marriage. It doesn’t quite make a lot of sense, but it’s true. Many times, the person cheats for other reasons that has nothing to do with the love they have for their partner.

    The problem is that the consequences of their cheating devastate their marriage. It tears down the house of marriage the couple has built right down to the foundation. This leaves the couple to rebuild the marriage from the foundation.

    There's always two sides to every story, isn't there?

    If you have yet to check out a recent guest blog post on 'Is Technology Destroying Relationships?', do go give it a read. It's been a popular post and I'd like to talk about the other side to it now.

    Technology Warning Before We Start

    I’d like to start off by saying you should really only be looking into these sorts of probing ONLY if you have suspicions - doing otherwise suggests your relationships might have trust, honesty and communication challenges, in some regard.

    While we all have to be mindful of too much technology detracting from the personal and human interaction of a healthy relationship, technology has it's uses in protecting people from getting into a relationship with someone with a bad history of abuse or deception.

    I heard a recent radio segment the other day on a number of women who had to end their relationships, due to the discovery their boyfriends or partners were what they referred to as 'love rats'. The term was one I'd never heard however a love rat is the same as a 'bad boy'.

    When you know yourself, You’ll win all battles - Sun Tzu

    I saw that float by on Twitter last week and had chance to ponder.

    I remade it for my own inner self into: “Know yourself and you won't see battles as battles”. Do you get where I’m going with this? What are battles but conflict? Isn’t the knowing also the understanding? Knowing yourself should also be being at peace within yourself - where does Sun Tzu get off in continuing such a negative point of view such as ‘battle’?

    Here’s a little exercise for you to try:

    Where Am I and Where Aren’t I?

  6. When Trust Becomes the Glue for Love

    Loving someone is giving them the power to hurt you, and trusting them not to!

     

    I actually read that on someone’s Twitter profile and it simply grabbed me at my heart. Such a powerful statement of truth for what love between two people actually means.

    You’ve heard the saying of ‘Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely’?

    Well, Love enriches and absolute love enriches absolutely. It’s a journey and lifestyle traveled between and shared by two people.

    Please do check back on a recent post I wrote ‘What is Love’ and you’ll get an understanding why I loved the above quote.

    To recap though

  7. Twitter is a lot about trust

    Twitter is public conversation going on all around the world.

    Millions of people are involved in this conversation every day. Why would you not want to be a part of it?

    A very high percentage of people who start decide to give up.Some say this is as many as 98%. I have seen hundreds give up in the past 18 months. So it is fair to say that it is not that easy. However many people succeed at it and get fantastic results.

  8. Top Reasons Why Partners Cheat

    I was asked personally by one of our members the other day, why do people cheat on their partners when they have a healthy marriage.

    This was in response to my recent blog post on Cheating It’s a Human Gene.

    I certainly don’t condone cheating in any way, shape or form. To me, it’s a betrayal of your trust with your partner — and I think it’s the betrayal and the destruction of that trust that’s far worse than the actual act of the cheating. That’s my view anyway.

    Some people may very well think it’s the sex acts with another person that’s the issue however, I think, there are deeper more emotional factors at play and here's how to maintain a healthy relationship with your partner.

  9. The Best Ways To Screw Up A Relationship

    I’d be pretty much like anyone else - knowing there’s no ‘perfect way’ to hold a heathy relationship together.
    Having said that, my experience and research has given me some initial areas that I’ve worked on (and continue to work on) around my relationships with those close to me - as well as maintaining these values through the core of my being.
    Given my own mental ‘profile’ and outlook, I’m always looking and researching in maintaining a healthy relationship. And it certainly seems that relationships are a human beings’ continual failing in life.
    By that I mean we have successes as well as failures however, mostly, the successes are almost achieved by accident, as we stumble through life. We tend to concentrate on material things more than we put efforts into ensuring our life partner and soul mate is happy and looked after in so many ways.
