Love In The Air

Well, here we are in February and many people are celebrating St. Valentines. It is a good time to think about love and relationships to put a bit of warmth in our lives after a long winter. Today, I would like to look at what love is. The English language only has one word for love and it is used interchangeably for almost everything. We can say I love my husband and I love Chocolate. 

More than ever before, we're leaving our home towns and even our countries to seek out exciting and rewarding opportunities elsewhere. Fewer and fewer of us grow old in the place where we grew up. We move on to new jobs, new partners, new homes and new lives. We extend our social circle so that it becomes almost physically impossible to keep in touch with everyone we meet. Email helps us to maintain relationships, but there's still no real substitute for a good long chat on the phone - but the more we move, the more likely we are to change our numbers and lose our friends.

Consumer power is growing. That means that we're far more willing than we used to be to change our phone provider, our electricity supplier and our internet connection. Changing numbers and addresses on a regular basis often results in someone not being aware of your new number or your new email and bang! You've lost touch. Our lives are busy and it's easy to leave people behind. If you're the sort of person that religiously files new address cards so that you are up-to-date with your friends' movements, that's great. If you're not quite so organised, it can be easy to lose those new details and be stuck the next time you want to get in touch.

Please fall in love. Please experience the high of love, real passionate love. And please ask your intelligence few questions before deciding to spend life together. Are we suitable for each other? Are our habits similar? Will we give comfort to each other? Are our expectations real and will they get fulfilled? Are we fit to marry each other? Will our love last? Let intelligence play a role along with your love and then decide. You will never have to announce divorce. You will live happily together forever, because you have made a conscious decision after finding out everything.

Our relationship was based on character and friendship which later developed into love. You can say we met each other and we just clicked ;-) (pun intended So, the point is that erotic love is not a deep meaningful love but superficial and based on sexual attractiveness only

Bibles Along With Christian Books Will Enhance Your Faith Experience

With so much literature circulating in the world today, a lot of people overlook the most popular, best-selling books of all time: bibles. In modern times, so many of us look for fulfillment, direction, encouragement and motivation to live our lives as God would have us. Myself, included. Notwithstanding the importance of your daily devotion, or seeking out Christian books and Christian movies, we must return to our bibles for the most pure and original guidance.

When I was younger, I remember my mother's bible; it was worn with torn and highlighted pages. I can't remember a Sunday where she was without her bible while in church. I think back upon this memory and realize that she wore her bible out in search of God's truth and guidance. She taught me something extremely important by modeling this type of behavior. She taught me to look for the truth within my bible first, and then to broaden my understanding of this truth with supplemental Christian literature and other works (e.g., Christian books and Christian movies).

Now that I'm grown, I enjoy buying a lot of different types of Christian living gear, including clothing, audio bibles, music CDs, DVDs, home dcor and so much more. I especially enjoy purchasing daily devotionals for women that speak about all the women-focused, encouraging passages in the bible. I also purchase other items and accessories including leather bible covers and convenient bible carriers. And during Christmastime, I like buying gifts for all of my friends and loved ones.

Additionally, when it comes to Christian music and literature, I have many favorite authors and musicians. I have found online shopping easiest, as you can have your merchandise delivered straight to your home. It is so much easier to buy online because there are search-able industries and you can locate hard-to-find merchandise. And the icing on the cake: my online queries have also allowed me to find Christian communities in my area. I feel very blessed by this experience, and I have made some really good friends.

As you continue your search for God's truth, I encourage you to read your bibles and to supplement this truth with Christian living gear. By taking these simple actions, your daily life will be blessed beyond measure. May you follow God's strategic plan for your life without wavering.

Do Not Conform To The Game Of Temptation

Temptations are everywhere. It takes various shapes and forms. Sometimes these temptations disguise themselves in the hearts of people. And they make use of these people to cheat the hearts of other people as well.

In the game of temptation, whoever fails to shield their minds and hearts against the things temptation provide will most certainly lose. It would give you all of what your heart desires. It will get inside the inner parts of your soul and find the thing you desire the most and will give it to you in return of something. And the trade will something of same worth with your want. Attached to it would be the thing we call sin.

Do not Conform: Live Outside Of Temptation

In temptation, there is certainly sin. The human's deadly sins have risen up from temptations. Pride, avarice, lust, gluttony, wrath, sloth, envy, these are form within the foundations of temptations. Because of the weak status of the human hearts, all of us commit these sins and thus our very own souls have been impure.

Only one man, as told in the holy book, had been free of sins. And that is Christ Himself. Do not misjudge Him. He was as well human and was also tempted by the creator of temptations, the devil. The devil offered Him food, worldly goods or riches but Christ was not shaken by such temptations. For He told the devil that humans not only feast in food or riches provided by this world, they need the food provided by the words of God.

Do not Conform To Evil

Mankind conform to anything surroundings we're surviving. But also as a result of our own capability to adapt to anything we are often misdirected by the things that we all do. We are misled. It is now up to us to keep track of what we are doing. Know what is right and what is wrong. Don't be deceived by savvy way of temptation. Strengthen your heart and mind. Seek the help of God. Always read His holy word and always pray for through all these we all could be free from those temptations.

   

Conception and The Pill

People who use contraception can usually be categorized into 2 different groups. There are the ones that are using because they do not want a baby right now for a a variety of reasons, and the ones that don't desire children at all. Permanent birth control options are available for the second group, but the former group has a seriously broader range of strategies to choose from. Among these methods would be the ever popular usage of the contraception pill, this technique can cause problems once you've got a desire to get pregnant.

Essentially, "the pill" works by altering hormone levels in the woman's body to make it believe that the woman is already pregnant. This has the consequences of interrupting the normal menstrual cycle and stopping the ovaries from releasing the egg cell, which in turn prevents conception. There are one or two side-effects that may be connected to these hormonal alterations, but in general, the feeling is they work fine. Most women are mindful of what "the pill" does and have some imprecise notion of how it works, but generally lack any concrete idea of what takes place when they stop taking it.

Whether or not a woman wants to have a baby and has stopped taking the pill, there are still a few things that have to be checked and remembered. Most importantly, using contraceptive pills truly changes a woman's hormonal make-up. These hormone changes delay the completion of the woman's ovulation cycle. Each pill taken increases the duration of the delay. The body is basically forced to adjust by the results of manmade hormones the pills trigger, putting off the risk of pregnancy by fooling the body into believing it already is pregnant. If a woman stops taking the pill, the body will need some time to adjust to this new situation and, fundamentally, pick the ovulation cycle up where it left off. After pregnancy, hormone levels drop off and the body returns to normalcy. The same principle applies when a woman stops using contraception.

Generally, it takes 3 full months for the body to get back to its natural rhythm and fully get over the pills. Nonetheless there are some cases where this does not occur and the body remains, for lack of a better word, sterile. Some companies have developed hormonal treatments to fix this, which are designed to kick start the process of ovulation that contraceptive pills have stalled. In this situation, it really comes down to little more than hormone levels and knowing which hormones to modify (and how much) to achieve the desired effect in the body. It should be noted, though, that these hormone medicines don't always work.

In cases where it has taken more than 3 months for the body to get back to normal hormone production, it may be cautious to consult a physician. While considered unlikely, it is feasible that long-term use of birth control pills can interrupt the natural hormone-production process for women, even after the drug is no longer used. As mentioned there are hormonal pharmaceuticals that can help the body start correcting that problem, but these should be taken if advised by a doctor.

 

 

How to Make a Long Distance Relationship Work

If you are willing to work it out, here's how to give it every chance to survive and thrive.
Remember that it can work out, statistics show that an estimated 2.9% of US marriages were considered long distance, with 1 in 10 marriages reported to have included a period at long distance within the first 3 years.

Steps

1.  Ask the important questions at the onset, to make sure you are both clear on the parameters of the relationship. Setting parameters such as naming your relationship (dating, seeing each other, boyfriend-girlfriend, engaged) as well as defining exclusive (limited to one person,) or non-exclusive. These can be difficult and awkward questions to ask, but will save you great heartache and misunderstanding down the line. Example: "Are you open to the possibility of relocating if the relationship should become more serious?" or "What are you looking to get out of the relationship?" Stating your end goal or ideas will allow each person to maintain what they need.
   
   
2. Consider using Skype video chat calls every day, text messaging, phone calls and email every day. It is important to maintain contact and to be in each other's daily lives as much as possible.
    
3. Do things together. Defy the distance. As a long distance couple, it's important to do other things together besides the usual phone call. In a long distance relationship, interaction over the phone can become dull in the long run. Incorporating other forms of interaction are important. Just think... People in short-distance relationships do not spend the majority of their time talking, but rather doing things with each other. Try to replicate this by finding things to do together such as watching a TV show or movie simultaneously.
    
4. Communicate in some way every day, more than once if possible. Since you won't be seeing each other, it's important to establish and maintain an emotional connection. These don't always have to be long, in-depth conversations. Tell each other about your little triumphs and tragedies. Ask on for advice. Use an instant messenger program or VoIP for real-time chat, or web cams for that visual connection. E-mail is great so make sure you use it, especially if long-distance phone calls put a strain on your budget. Ensure the e-mails are substantive and detailed, it will show that you care enough to put in the time and effort. Write love letters. Send small gifts, cards, or send flowers for no reason. In this case, quantity is as important as quality. You may discover an advantage over others whose partner is close at hand—you don't take communication for granted!
   • You can set up reminders, including automatically-recurring reminders, for this purpose in calendaring software on your computer or online. This is especially important when you don't have much contact with the other's friends to remember important events such as birthdays.
    
5.  Take advantage of the benefits a long distance relationship offers: more time with friends and/or family, no arguments over toothpaste caps, the pleasure of seeing your sweetheart again after a long absence, time to mull your options (rather than snapping at your partner impulsively) before you respond to that email s/he wrote that seemed so rude the first time you read it, not being dragged into a bunch of chick flicks, etc. Most important, being far apart gives you a chance to maintain your individuality—something that can get lost in the shuffle when couples spend all their free time together. Here are additional benefits of long distance relationships.
 
6. Pursue common interests, even if it means pursuing them apart. If there's a movie you're both interested in seeing, watch it individually and then call each other afterward and talk about it. Read a certain book at the same time. Stargaze while you're on the phone. Set your watches to go off at the same time every day, and synchronize your alarm with that of your partner. Make it a point to think of each other when your watch goes off, and revel in the fact that he or she is thinking about you, too. Find creative ways to bond.
 
7. Avoid the temptation to be controlling. People have free will and no one can or should control another person. As long as you are both interested in being in the relationship, you will stick with it and distance will not make a difference. As soon as one of you decides the other is not a good match—or someone else is a better match—your relationship ends, whether you live 3000 miles apart, two streets over, or share the same bed with your wedding picture on the wall. You are going to have to trust each other completely if this relationship is going to work.
 
8. Try challenging each other. This is not the same as being controlling. You may find that you can do things for each other that you couldn't quite find the motivation to do on your own. Perhaps you could motivate yourselves to get some exercise or to cook better or more often. It will give you something to do while you wait to see your partner again, and it will give you both something to strive for and talk about until then.
 
9.  Talk about your future together. Assuming that ultimately you'd want to live together, discussing how you're going to get to that point will help you prove to each other that the relationship is going somewhere and that your efforts and frustrations are not in vain.
 
10. Remember: Things will get better with time, and even the relationship will become better. Have hope.
 
11. Visit often. Try to make the time to visit each other as often as possible or as often as your budget permits you to. A relationship cannot thrive if the only thing you have is the phone call. You need to see each other up close and personal every chance you get. The key here is to set up some "rules" about frequency of communication and visits and stick to them. Consistency can help a long-distance relationship survive.
 
12. Avoid jealousy and be trusting. One of the easiest ways to destroy a perfectly healthy relationship is to poison it with jealousy and drama. When you start a long distance relationship, you must be realistic of the difficulties ahead. It always helps if you go in a relationship with the idea that everyone is innocent and worthy of trust until proven otherwise. Don't fall in the trap of interrogating your partner every time he/she decides to go out for a drink with people you haven't met or he/she didn't get back to you right away when you called and left a message. Just because you are in a long-distance relationship doesn't mean your lives will pause. Your partner will naturally have a social life where he/she lives and so should you. Sure, it helps to have your eyes open and not be totally naive, but being overly suspicious is unhealthy for you and your relationship too. You should both maintain your social activity and be happy with yourselves.
 
13. Be positive. Staying positive and not focusing on the negative aspects of a long-distance relationship is essential to keeping your relationship blooming and your partner content. Being away from your sweetie is not all bad news. Use the opportunity of personal time to pursue your interests and hobbies as well as your career objectives. Another positive point is that long distance dating pushes both of you to be more creative, to communicate better since you don't have "face-to-face" time and to test (and express) your feelings. As long as you see the long-distance relationship as a temporary state, you will keep your chin up and transmit that feeling of security and happiness to your partner too. 
 
14. Give them a personal object of yours so in a time of need, when they miss you, they are able to hold on to something that once belonged to you. This will provide comfort, happiness, and the thought of being with you.
 
15. Work towards a balanced relationship between partners. A relationship must be built on strong foundations of trust, understanding and determination to make it work. The key is to ensure that an equal amount of effort is made by both parties. The two partners should be reasonable about their expectations and willing to cooperate so that the relationship can lead to a happy ending. If these parameters are taken care of, you have nothing to worry about. But don't forget to ask some questions because if you don't, your partner may start to think that you're losing interest.
 
16. Create your own set of relationship standards that both of you have mutually agreed upon. That creates a common goal for you to work towards, developing a strong relationship whether you are together or apart. For example, agree to disagree, accept each other as you are, practice trust and honesty, strive towards compromise and self-sacrifice, seek spiritual unity, and maintain open communication.
 
17. Remember that you're still in a relationship. You HAVE to be there for your partner. If your partner is ever in trouble, or hurt, or whatever, you have to be there for them.Make sure you are available to them so that they can reach you if they need you. If they end up dealing with everything alone, they will eventually not need you. And sometimes, distance permitting of course, that means being actually, physically there for them.
 
18. Because time together is rare, when you do see each other, take as much advantage as possible of your ability to get intimate with each other. “Make sure your roommates or friends know your partner is going to be in town and keep the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign up!” Lorraine suggests. During those stretches when you can’t be with each other physically, she advises utilizing technology to send sexy text messages to each other sporadically during the week or, if you’re feeling daring, sending intimate pictures through your email or camera phones. “Try cyber sex or phone sex,” she suggests. “At first it may be a little awkward, but I assure you—you will get used to it and will begin to genuinely enjoy the added passion it brings to your relationship. You’ve got to keep those feelings of excitement and attraction alive or they will wane in time.” An added bonus: all that build-up will make the “real thing” all the more exciting when you see each other next

Want Your Ex Back Fast? Check Out These Suggestions

It's amazing to me to observe just how many persons have the same question across websites, emails, discussion boards and what not. "Hey man, how can I get my ex back?" or "Help me! Tell me the way to win back my ex girlfriend / boyfriend?"

Certainly, there's a little more depth to this than most will comprehend. Before I tell you tips on how to go about your attraction issue for your ex, you need to understand something essential. The main reason you're trying to "get" him / her back is because they aren't "with" you. Which means something happened in the partnership that either made them or you feel a certain confusion when it came to being at ease and intimately associated with each other. And when you drift apart, that confusion may enlarge. Now, while you could have conquered any questions in your mind about being with him or her, chances are that they are still hung up in their mind about not being together with you. And their mood may possibly not have modified yet.

This means you will have to play the adventure not just from your viewpoint but from theirs as well. You WILL run into resistance and you must contend with occasional glitches. Just don't get too distressed. You'll only frighten them away. What's more is that if you're getting over-negative results, it IS time to move forward and forget about your ex since when this occurs, even if they WERE going to be back, they'd be more of a pain to live with than the delight they used to be. So you're better off with a new life you have command over.

That said, below are some time-proven getting your ex back ideas that have worked well for me and countless others:

#1 : GET EX-BOYFRIEND BACK

Is he really worth the effort?

Scan the man effectively and make your most decisive judgement. You could get emotionally involved in the process. So it's far better to do it only if the inner voice inside you says "YES". Don't bypass this!

Distancing It doesn't matter how potent a desire you must call him up, see him or text him, you will NOT do it. You have to build that unpleasant yet inviting gap for him to feel he could be back. Start to distance yourself somewhat from him. Break connection. By not running after him, he'll be curious as to why you're not like all those other women who'd wanna be with him. This awakens his instinctive pursuer. Men want what they can't have. If it's difficult to break contact i.e. you work together, then LIMIT the contact as much as possible. If you do chat, be cool about it. Exercise this for about 30 days.

Get social

Avoid getting depressed when you're out of contact. You're not gonna get him back with that sad face and a stuck disposition to make things worse. Get your smile back. You're out to live life again and enjoy yourself. If you do run into him at this stage, he'll see the new confident you and feel disappointed about having left you.

Repair troubles

If there was a problem or unnatural quarrel or any scenario that led to the breakup that could be fixed comfortably, then eliminate it at your end and demonstrate to him with your actions (not your words) and persona that you know what went drastically wrong and where the remedies were required.

Take his back

He could possibly have dreams and interests that press on him every now and then. It is possible to still come as close as buddies and cater to those interests of his. But, LIMIT YOUR Support. Otherwise, he'll take you for granted. Try this only if your are truly certain he's into you all over again. Just keep on and keep tempting him. 2 steps forward, 1 step back. When he's ready for it, he'll come back....soon. Best of luck. # 2 : GET EX-GIRLFRIEND BACK

Getting an ex-girlfriend is a little more difficult than getting anything else to be together with you all over again. You see, girl's have an emotional make-up that could considerably confuse you and also throw you off the charts if you did not know what you were up to. here are a few stealth methods to get her to be yours yet again:

Clean your system

Okay, this might sound like magazine junk, but you must let go of any hard feelings, anger or emotional thread that you've about this lady or whatever transpired between you. If you can't, you'll express a negative ambiance when you do try to win her back. It'll mess you up. So go ahead, relieve the strain. Let it chill down. It's not just about anger. It can be pain or distress about the whole "she trashed me" thing. Stop being focused on it.

ALLOW HER to miss you

You won't go calling her daily or hang around as pals. Not a chance. Some communication is NOT superior to no contact. You screw this up here and be prepared to say goodbye!

In reality, most ladies give guys a second chance, provided the guy doesn't mess it up by coming on too strong or pressure her sentimentally to be with him again. You clearly show her that you are able to do fine without her. Let her feel you can get over it. Here, if she feels she's lost something, she's gonna wish to win it back and prove her point to you.

The more you leave her by herself, wondering where you are, with whom, doing what...that better her head works on your behalf. This is similar to a battle of wills. Don't forget, the person who wonders more in a game is more often than not the one hitting the re-try button!

Let her see the new you

To be back together with you, she must sense something isdifferent and WORTH coming back to. If you've done the prior strategy properly, she'll begin to think about her choice to leave you over and over again, questioning it more every time.

Now, you are going to set up an innocent meet up or lunch break. It must sound ordinary but also have a issue of "I can gain something by going here" for her. NO, you're not professing your undying love for her or any of that nonsense!! It's just supposed to be a fun meetup. The key is to assume the fun vibe by being self-assured and not clingy.

Learn The Best Way To Get A Date

Is it difficult to comprehend that various guys really do get girls to date them without doing anything special like hypnosis or magic tricks? This may feel like a distant dream if you have been calling the numbers girls gave you when you went out during the weekend to no avail and you are not getting any replies to your texts. But these guys have realized the basics of getting girls on dates, and you should, too. The good news is that each and every man has the capability to do it. Keep reading if improving your dating life is a priority for you now. What are the Best Methods to Get a Woman to Date You 1. Make the Decisions The worst thing that you can do is to make the woman decide where to go on your first date. If you asked her out, you should have a plan on what to do on your date. Take the lead. Taking the lead conveys a powerful psychological message, which will get her attracted to you fast. For the first date at least, have something to offer. Don't think of anything fancy for the moment. You can say you are going to listen to good music, but it is nothing fancy so she can relax. You can also tell her that she cannot afford to miss the very best pasta in town. Get her inquisitive about your date idea. If you get her thrilled about your date, she won't have the option to say no. 2. A Comfortable Date One of the primary erroneous beliefs in dating is that guys think they've got to wine and dine the ladies they want to date. Most men are under the impression that this is the perfect first date, so that the girl will be impressed. But the thing is that some ladies read too much into this kind of date. In fact, an elaborate dinner may put too much stress on her; like you are expecting her to put out too soon. What you can do is to think of a good date idea where you are able to both have fun enjoying every single other's company. If she agrees to go on a date with you, it means she wants to get to know you better. A casual date is preferable to an elaborate one. Your main purpose is to show her that you're a fun guy to be with. 3. Clean Your Place If you are going to spend money on dates all the time, you are going to end up broke by the time you're done dating everybody. Regardless of whether you spend a few dollars or so, or the woman is low maintenance, those few dollars could add up. You will be more comfortable if you've got a place where you won't have to fret about getting charged for having coffee. Set up a proper place where you and your partner can feel relaxed. A comfortable ambiance can lead to sexy feelings. The answer: make your living space more date worthy. If you have figurines that are accumulating dust in a drawer somewhere, line them up for your new friend to see. If you play the guitar, have an acoustic guitar in the front room so that you can nonchalantly strum out a pleasant melody when the conversation goes stale. Roommates are one more matter. Update your roommate about your plan for you and your date to crash in your home after the movie. The best way to do this is by coming up with a good rotation scheme with the intention to leave when your roommate has a date and vice versa.
