People are always asking how they can save their marriage from divorce. The question is, why let it go to such a state that divorce became the focus of the marriage? There is never such a thing as constancy in any marriage. As a married couple, you should know that your marriage will either have you move emotionally away from or move emotionally towards your spouse.

There are 4 good tips to help save marriage or your relationship. None of them are terribly difficult to do, and they’re all very inexpensive. They’re simple common sense. Yet many people won’t try them, not even to save marriage or a troubled relationship.

The first tip is to just stop arguing. Every time your partner says something that you want to get grumpy with or correct, just learn to let it go. By doing this you’re doing yourself and all of us a favor. When one person can learn to let things start rolling off her back, the other one will follow suit.

Page (Now That I’m Married, Why Isn’t Everything Perfect?, LJ 1/94) believes in approaching things differently. Contrary to the mainstream “couples” approach to relational counseling, Page convincingly claims that just one person in a relationship can create momentous positive growth that will bring both people closer together. She believes that for every action there is always an equal, opposite reaction, and that one person’s fundamental shift toward “good (more…)

You can never find any one relationship advice that fits all. It can be a challenge for anyone who is trying to have a successful relationship. It is especially true for women. However, it does not mean that as a woman, you will have difficulty finding and keeping a great and successful relationship.

A woman tends to make the following mistakes:

Every woman I know wants to be respected, desired, liked and loved by their spouse or partner. However there are many women out there who make the mistake that for a relationship to have any worth, it has to be a romantic affair. If you think that way, it is time to stop!

AHHHHH, the age old question… “How to handle a girl friend break up?” There are many ways of going about this; however, you must choose the best way for you or heck try them all. It all just depends how determined you are to get through this.

Because if all you’re going to do is to sit around crying, moaning and groaning all day then all your going to hear is the smallest violin in the world playing “My Heart Cries For You”. This article won’t help you if that is your choice, but if your ready to get your life back, read on.

First off, let’s start by saying, you saying “I want my wife back” is a good thing. All you want now is get your wife back.

There is nothing to be ashamed of, and no reason to think you are the only one in this world in your predicament. Over half the marriages around the world end up in divorce. So remember you are not alone, if you decide you still love your wife and you want her back; go for it.

If you want your wife back, then admitting that is the first step of possibly having her back in your arms.

O.K. , now that you have admitted that; lets reflect on what is the reason you are without your wife now. If you were the reason why you don’t have your wife to begin with; then you have to admit that. As hard as it might be to say that it’s your fault, you have to do it. If you had an affair, you need to say that, if you took her for granted when she was nothing but good to you, then you need to say it.

The point is, what you need to do, no matter what it was you did; tell the truth.  If your wife is not with you, than more than likely you need to change.  By you admitting your faults and telling the truth, this means you are one step closer to getting her back. This is one way of letting her know that you are really trying to change.

The second thing that needs to be corrected is the communication between you and your wife. Chances are, there wasn’t any communication at all, and this is one of the biggest downfalls in a relationship. To many times people go without saying what is really on their mind; rather they are scared to say it or thought it would not matter.  This is an important step in your effort to get your wife back!

Things that you and wife were scared to say or thought it would not matter; those things start to add up. Before you know it, little things that are not said turn into big things; then the talking stops all together. Chances are, your wife knows this, and by you acknowledging this is a problem, you are taking a step in the right direction.

Also remember, you both are going to have opinions and hers may be different. It is ok to have different opinions. Respect her opinion, and remember she is an individual just like you are. These small changes can help you get your wife back. Now that your inspired, and are screaming “I want my wife back” to anyone that will listen, don’t forget to tell her.

I have been happily married for over 18 years now.  Pretty long time, if I may say so. I am happily married with one kid now. My wife is the most wonderful women I have known. She is my best friend. I know she will be there whenever I need her, be it good times or bad.

However, along the way there are a few things I have learned from women who have dumped me. I know, I know, it may be hard to believe that I have ever been dumped for those that know me. But yes it is true, I have been dumped. I have been dumped on harder than a cow pasture in Texas, on a late July morning, after feeding time.

Is it worth going to marriage counseling?

Marriage counseling does it work?

Many people wonder just that. Some people think their problems will get better or some think, “Is it worth going to relationship counseling, our relationship is going to end any way”. If you’re one those thinking either one of those things you need to get your into relationship counseling.

Since 60% percent of marriages end up in divorce, many think why even bother. That in itself is a problem, and that is why those divorce numbers are as high as they are. If more people would think that relationship counseling is worth it, then those numbers may be 60% of marriages last; instead of divorce.

Believe it or not, most people that do go to relationship counseling think that it works. Those people that do are still married. Those people that don’t think it works are the people who will get rid of that one person and think their problems are over. Truth of the matter is, half the problem is still there.

However, when couples do go to counseling they find out that the other person was not just the problem. That person finds out that they were just as much of the problem; if not more. They find out things that they never knew about their partner and their self, and the reason for this is most people open up more because they feel safe when there is a third party there. You and your partner may say things you have always wanted to say but were just too frightened of the consequences.

Another reason why counseling is important in a relationship is because of the children. When things are going bad between a couple, when they have children, sometimes the children are often over looked because the couple is to worried about the way they feel. The bad thing about it is the children end up getting the raw end of the deal. They are the ones who really pay.

I can’t tell you relationship counseling is going to work for every couple or you every time. It depends on the couple and how bad they want to make it work. The counselor is there to guide the couple in the right direction, they are there to help open up doors that may have been shut or doors that have never been open before. So is it worth going to relationship counseling? Look around you; is it worth losing everything you love? You and your loved one are the only ones that know the answer.

When we split, breakup or divorce from a lover, boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife, we can either try getting over a relationship or try getting them back. It obviously depends on whether you still love your ex as to which one you chose.

If you do want your ex back, you need to make every attempt to achieve this.  You and only you know whether he or she makes you happy and would make your life complete.  Your family and friends may try to advise you but remember that they are not impartial.  They love you and hopefully want what is best for you but sometimes people act with their own interests in mind.

If your friends are all single, they may have been jealous of your love affair and would prefer to keep you single.  If they didn’t like your partner, they are not going to encourage you to get him/her back.

Couples, as we know,  break up for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes there is no coming back from the split and you have to accept it. Often especially if it was caused by something trivial or a misunderstanding, you could salvage things if only one of you would swallow their pride and initiate contact. Usually this will have to be the man as society still thinks it is the man who should do the chasing. A woman who makes the first move can be seen as being desperate.

Examine your own feelings before you decide which option to choose. Do you want to get back with your ex, to dump them so they know how it feels? These are games for teenagers to play so if that is your motivation, do yourself a favour and move on. But if you really do believe this person to be your soul mate, you need to plan a way to get them back in your life.

Try enlisting the help of their family and friends. Now there is a fine line between asking for help and becoming a stalker so take it slowly.  Just happen to be at the places these people hang out i.e. bump into them by accident and see how ms/mr ex is doing. Make sure you are looking good so that the reports back are favourable. If you haven’t slept for days, plaster on the makeup. You do not want it going back to your lover that you looked miserable and suicidal.

You could always try the direct approach and contact your former partner. Ask them out for a friendly drink or meal and see where it goes. You never know they could have been dying to make contact but were afraid that you would not entertain them.  People are funny creatures –they will often let fear of the unknown hinder their future happiness.

Whatever you decide, remember that we only get one shot at life. It is not a dress rehearsal. Getting over a relationship or getting back with your ex are both achievable, the question is which one do you want to succeed at?

Have something to share? I love to hear from you……

How many times have you seen one of your friends break up with a long-term partner only to find, the very next week, someone who was obviously all wrong for them? It’s one of the most common after effects of the end of relationships: rebound dating.

The idea of rebound relationships is so ingrained into the way we think about dating that it just seems natural to look for one after a breakup. There’s something to be said for getting “back in the saddle,” choosing a partner when your judgment is clouded usually does more harm than good overall. If you want to get over your ex fast, there are better ways to do it.

Band-Aid relationships: rebound mindset

The first step to keeping yourself from doing something you’ll regret is to take an honest look at what you’re feeling and understand how those feelings can lead you places you’d rather not go. A lot of times we just miss the companionship and look for someone to fill the gap in our schedule and distract us from the fact that our heart’s just been broken. In that case, make a point of finding a social time-filler that doesn’t involve romance.

Maintain your standards

The best thing you can do to avoid getting involved with someone who’s all wrong for you is stick to your standards. In fact, go ahead and raise them a little just to add a safety buffer. If the person you’re thinking about dating is less kind, less intelligent, less anything that you’d normally want, stay away. The people don’t make for good relationships, rebound or otherwise.

Beware of the handiest person

When we look for someone to rebound with, we need someone fast. We don’t have time to “waste” looking for someone we really click with, so we tend to latch on to someone we already know and have at least some rapport with. It might be a close friend, a co-worker, even someone who works at the grocery store down the street. If you find yourself falling for someone you’ve never been the least bit attracted to before, stop and think about what’s really going on here.

Take time for yourself

Instead of filling your time with go-nowhere dates, get out and make some new friends (that’s “friends,” not “lovers.” There’s a difference.) Get involved in something you’ve always wanted to do but never had time for. Whatever you do, don’t sit around pining for your ex or scouring the bookstore shelves for self help books.

Be gentle with yourself.

Even if your not sobbing into your pillow every night, the end of a relationship will naturally make you feel a little bummed out and low on energy. Take that into account and try not to start any major projects for a few weeks. Instead, treat yourself to some time out to do something you enjoy.

Of course, not every rebound relationship ends up a disaster. If you’re lucky, you’ll have a fun fling. If you do decide to get involved with someone after a breakup, though, make sure you’ve taken a little off by yourself and you’re not lowering your standards. While we can prevent broken relationships: rebound dates gone wrong are easy to avoid.

Do you know how to keep a woman happy?  Here is some advice on relationships for men.

The first advice on relationships item I have for you is to always be yourself.  Many men don’t feel that they are good enough to catch a beautiful, sexy woman, so they put on a show.  But a confident man is the sexiest beast around.  Have you ever noticed that some of the ugliest guys have some of the prettiest women?  That is because they display a level of confidence that is more attractive to women than physical looks.
