Keep Your True Love - Relationship Advice That You Ought to Take Heed by T Hendricks

Have you watched Never Been Kissed wherein the character played by Drew Barrymore said something in this fashion, you finally found the one and you are both smiling and crying at the same time because you are happy you found the one and at yet scared that you may lose him? Kudos to you if you have succeeded in finding your true love and this is no easy feat. What is harder though is how to keep your true love. Read on for valuable pieces of relationship advice.

Happily Ever After Is Never Automatic

It is not impossible but it does not come automatically. At some point in your lives, you will get tired of endlessly staring into each other's eyes and start noticing the not so pleasant facets of your one true love. Love is not enough to take your mind off the fact that he keeps forgetting to put the toilet seat down, nor is it enough to take your mind off the fact that she cannot cook a decent meal even if her life depended on it. A lifelong relationship, to work, needs work from both parties.

Compromise

The first thing is learning how to compromise. Maybe you can switch chores, you do the cooking, she does the table and dishes. It is not easy but the effort of learning to meet halfway is more than worth it. You are doing these things for love, your one true love.

Self Check

Look at yourself in the mirror and make an effort to know who you really are. If even you yourself don't understand who you are, what your personalities are really like, how do you expect your partner to know and understand the real you?

Keep Those Lines Open

You have all heard it so many times; an open communication with one another is a key to a lasting and strong relationship. When you ask questions, keep an open and positive attitude towards what your partner has to say. When you are asked the question, think hard and well and consider every angle as much as you can before blurting out your answer. Listen carefully to your partner, not only in terms of verbal communications but non-verbal most especially. Take note of every facial expression and body language your partner exudes.

Conflict Resolution without the Conflict

Probably the biggest part in how to keep your true love is to learn how to deal with conflicts the non-explosive way. When your partner does something that infuriates you, try your best not to explode in their faces. Resolve the conflict with the least amount of friction. Put yourself in their shoes, how do you want them to handle the situation when you are the one on the hot seat?

Even if you master these skills, there are no guarantees that your relationship will be the smoothest, problems will always and inevitably arise that will challenge your relationship but these will help you keep the bond strong and will lessen the chances of you having to lose your one true love.

Relationships and The Love Vibe by Suzanne Devereux

Do you dream about having more love in your life? Have you ever really thought about what love means to you? Does it mean a committed life-long partnership? Does it mean having someone to spend time with, just enjoying the simple pleasures? Maybe your view on love is broader and encompasses all of your relationships, including those with your family and friends. I've got a secret for you, and this is coming from a Life Coach who helps people create the lives of their dreams:

Love is a choice you make; it doesn't just "happen."

Love is something you decide to include in your daily life. It has to be a priority, given time and attention every day. And, above all, you have to express more love if you want to attract more of it.

If it took only three steps to create a more love-filled life, would you take those steps? Here's your chance to find out. Get out pen and paper and jot down your responses to these questions:

1) What do I really want in a relationship?
Get clear on this. Be specific. If you are looking for marriage or a long-term partner, then write it down. If you are looking for someone who is adventurous and fun, write those qualities on your list. Don't listen to the Peanut Gallery (your friends and family); make your own list of what's important to you.

2) What's been holding me back?
There are many reasons why you might not have the relationship of your dreams, and nearly every single reason has to do with negative messages that you're either hearing from other people or that you're telling yourself. Even though you'd like to believe that a Special Someone is out there for you, are there negative relationship messages that keep popping up, sabotaging your dreams? You've got a choice to believe the negativity or to focus on your dream partner. Which are you going to choose?

3) How can I express more love?
In order to bring more love into your life, you have to express more love. Show more love, care and friendship to others. Even if you want to attract a mate, you get good practice at loving when you show more love to your frien

Why Men Leave Marriages - Tips to Avoid Ending a Relationship by Marty Barton

Ending a relationship can be one of the hardest things that a person can do. The emotional strain and the feelings of loss can have an enormous impact on anyone going through such a predicament. So, why do men leave marriages?
There are some men, who don't want to be with just one woman for sexual reasons. There are some men who feel they have outgrown their wife. This happens often where the wife is at home with the kids and he finds that he is no longer attracted to her and would rather seek the attention of a work colleague. This is an awful situation, but sadly, it is more common than you would care to imagine.
It is not the easiest thing in the world for two people to live with each other and go on and forge a happy life together. There are many couples that have done this and have had wonderful marriages. Sadly, there are many couples that have tried (and tried hard in some instances) but have failed and the marriage has ended.
If you are having marriage problems and don't want to wind up in the divorce courts, you should take steps to make sure that you don't find yourself ending a relationship that could have been saved. Why men leave marriages is because they haven't been able to fix what was wrong in the marriage. This is where the right help can enable you to determine why the marriage struggled and what is needed to overcome your problems. Many relationships end because the parties simply don't work hard enough on the root cause of the problem.
In cases where the problem is detected and a plan put in place to overcome the problem, couples are well placed to move forward especially if their love is strong. It is a great tragedy that many good marriages have fallen by the way side when they should not have.
In summary, there are two types of men - those that are contented being in a monogamous relationship and those that aren't. Those that aren't are constantly restless and prone to having affairs. They generally will struggle to commit to just one person and will have trouble remaining married. They really do have problems and need help to work out what they can do to be more contented in their married life. If you are in this position and you have a fair idea why men leave marriages, the quicker you seek this help the better.
If you are going through hard times, please understand that you are not alone and that there is help available right here.

The Romance of Envelopes By Samantha Black

You may replace letters with text message in this technological age, learn it and spice up your relationship...

Letters have a romantic air to them, but do not forget the romance of the envelopes that contain them as well. Write down a return address and a send to address and affix a stamp and suddenly an envelope becomes an amazing mode of transportation that can carry an important business document, a casual greeting to a friend, or the feelings of love from one person to another.

These envelopes that are wrapped around sheets of paper with only their addresses and stamps giving the faintest clue to what they hold within may leave one intrigued as to what may be discovered inside.

Envelopes may be purchased and come in many sizes or colors. Or you can make your own envelopes from magazine pages or any other scrap paper lying around that is large enough. Simply take apart another envelope and use it as your template. Or the piece of paper you plan to write your letter on can also be folded in a way known as origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, so that it becomes both letter and envelope.

In the modern world with its technological advances of computers, Internet, and e-mail the use of envelopes may not be as common anymore or seem that important. But the use of envelopes and the letters within them may be more important than ever because of those things. A letter and envelope may seem more personal than an email.

The tactile feel of the envelope as fingers touch its skin of paper, the visual appeal of handwritten or typed words in ink, the moment of cutting or tearing open the envelope that has been sealed to keep away prying eyes of all but the one the letter was intended for all these things and more make the seemingly ordinary and often taken for granted envelopes, something that is instead rather special if one takes the time to notice.

How is Asking Out a Friend a Bad Idea? - Being More Than Just a Friend and Its Issues

To every issus there is always the part that so many of us will never agrre to, of course we are human our ideas and believe differs, hence the reason I have decided to post the article below:

Asking out a friend is a bad idea. Falling in love with a friend is - at best - awkward.
You know the person well, and can't help but think of how perfect you'd be together. Not only have you shared a lot, but you know their strengths and weaknesses. You feel like soul mates.
While some friendships bloom into romance, I have to be frank...most do not. Furthermore, by revealing your emotions to your friend, you risk the relationship you already have with them. Read on to learn why asking out a friend is a bad idea.
It's bound to happen.
When you're extremely tight with someone, you can't imagine your life without them. You feel almost a spiritual bond with them, and this can often be similar to feelings of love. In truth, you probably do love them, but the relationship's foundation is not sexual. It's this very comradeship that makes dating a friend a bad idea.
Things will change.
I know what it's like to have a crush on a friend. Holding in your feelings is like torture, but beware of letting them loose. Mentioning romantic emotions to your friend will change the dynamic of your relationship. Even if they assure you that nothing will change, it's bound to happen. In my case, the girl told me I was still her best friend, but our time together grew less and less. Even today, the vibe between us is forever changed.
"So what do I do?"
First, don't talk about your feelings to anyone. Expressing your emotions gives them life, making it impossible to move on. From there, think about all of the other singles to date, and meet them. Don't close yourself off to others, as you could miss out on a great romance. Feel grateful for having such a wonderful person in your life, but know that asking out a friend is a bad idea. Within time, your feelings for your friend will subside.

I do not totally agree with Zack but what do you think? 

I love you and you say you love me so why are you backing off im still waiting for your answer. So what that we are far away we havent talked about getting together and yo havent gotten back to me ,and it is killing me inside. love you baby i hope we make it

Advice to Win Back Your Love - Don't Hate Yourself For Missing This By Nix Stokes


It's easier to watch a breakup through someone else's eyes. Pat your friend on the shoulder and tell them it's going to be okay, and they're better off now. But then, it happens to you and the next thing you know you're sitting on the couch with a carton of ice cream in one hand, and the remote in the other. You're sitting there like a poor sap, crying your eyes out convincing yourself that there is no way to win back your love.
Well, what if it didn't have to be this way? There is a method to the madness, a way to get your love back, and you'll no longer be an emotional disaster.
First off, hide your cell phone and stay away from your computer. Professing your never ending love to your ex is only going to drive them further away. Yes I know, it sounds like terrible advice. Of course you want to tell them exactly how you feel every five minutes, why won't this bring them back?
It's because they haven't had a chance to miss you yet.
Do yourself a favor and suck it up for about ten minutes, call up a mutual friend (preferably one that will go blabbing to your ex) and tell them that you think it's a good idea you split up. The time apart is going to help you discover more about yourself and help you learn to survive on your own, without your ex.
When your ex hears this it's going to be a major slap in the face. Here they were, living in glory at you're suffering at home. Thinking of all the ways you're going to come running back to them, and all of a sudden they hear that you're doing what! You're doing just fine without them, you didn't collapse and die! The wheels are set into motion now, and your ex is going to start thinking about you again and this is how you win back your love!
You see, the way to get your ex back isn't by stalking them into oblivion, you have to convince yourself (and those around you) that you're just fine. Human nature isn't going to allow your ex to feel good about this, even if it's just subconsciously at first.
Eventually they're going to make contact, so keep it simple. Talk like friends, the way you did when you first got together. Bringing back those old fond memories is going to get things started again. It just takes a little bit of time and patience on your part to win back your love.

No one can replace you in my heart, and if anybody wants to replace it, tha't the time I will stop my heart beating. ( message from Love Messages)

What Are the Elements of Love? By Marteshia Pittman

Love is an emotions that is expressed in many different ways. It is how this emotion is expressed that determines if it is true. Love is expressed through words, body language, feelings, thoughts and even certain looks.

Often times, people express their love by simply saying, "I love you." It's always great to hear, but how do you really know? It really doesn't matter how long you have been with someone, because love has no sense of time. It's not always about what is being said, but how the message is being conveyed.

Men and women both use nonverbals to express their love for one another; it could be a simple kiss, holding of the hands, the way you hug, the manner in which you touch, or the way you move when interacting with that special someone. So often of times, it's the "unspoken" that has the most impact on an individual. Other ways you can tell if love is real for you, is how a person makes you feel inside.

When real love is present, more often than not, people experience warm feelings, feelings of excitement for a particular person, confidence, a sense of being wanted and needed, or it can even be explained as a breath of fresh air. Although when in a relationship, times can sometimes be trying, love is a happy feeling. Women sometimes revert back to their high school years and get that girly feeling all over again. Men, although wanting to portray a sense of toughness or being macho, sometimes become a bit more subtle or reserved. Sometimes things come out that people thought they had lost years ago; love can do that you know. There is also not being able to get a person out of your mind.

There is nothing more sweet and romantic than being with someone for years and continuing to have those same feelings for each other as if just meeting. When a person reaches the level of loving someone, that person stays on his or her mind and almost everything is a reminder of that special someone. A song reminds you of a particular evening or you get a whiff of someone's cologne or perfume that brings that special someone to mind. There are so many things that when in love, reminds you of the other person, but aside from thinking of that person; there is nothing like the looks received when two people love each other.

There is a look for everything. When in love, there is a look (no words) of anger, disappointment, sexual want, happiness and anything else that can be thought of. True love, inspite of life's trials and tribulations, is a beautiful thing. There is no more wonderful feeling than the unspoken communication between the person or persons in love. Love is a positive feeling, there should be no harmful elements to loving someone if it is real.

If these elements are in place, one could and probably would say that a person is in love. Anything other than these wonderful feelings, a person may need to re-evaluate his or her relationship. With that being said love is what love does, so if a person is not making the one he or she is involved with feel happy, supported, wanted, needed and good in every way they know how, love is probably not the word that needs to be used.


 Below is a Message from Love Message
I’m not going to stand here and say I love you, because personally I don’t know if I even know what love feels like. So I’ll say that I can’t stop thinking about you.
I always feel like I should be holding your hand when I’m walking down a sidewalk. I keep setting another table place setting in dinner because I don’t want to eat without you.
I wake up every morning wondering if you are wondering about me. I sleep wishing I’m in your dreams tonight. I take an extra 5 minutes in my usual 7 minute prayer to beg God to guide you through the day safely. I no longer like being left alone.
I keep searching for you anywhere possible even though I know you can’t be here.
So if that’s love, so be it. I’m in love with you, totally, truly, madly.

OR MAYBE YOU HAVE LOST THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE, GET HIM OR HER BACK NOW
