When is it okay to feel hurt in your relationship

Image
Did you ever feel your bf or your husband just made you feel like nothing.They never said anything to you but their actions and their behaviour spoke volumes.Really guys out there .IT HURTS! Like just the other day my bf just told me it's cool by him if he sees me in a months time.What? Really ? Did you just say that? You see men tend to speak in the forms of jokes ,they tend to make situations lighter to handle, in their minds.When in reality it seems to the person on the receiving end,terribly worse. In the girls mind (my mind at the time) What is he saying? He needs space,he wants alone time,is he cheating or what is happening? You see women tend to over anylise every move and word our partner tends to make or say. Yes,that might seem crazy but in reality we are little explosians, waiting to explode why- Boys you may ask? Why? Because we invested to much in you. We willingly give our time,devotion,bodies,lives and importantly our hearts. So in fact, if you skrew up -you ruin...

Do You Like Who You See In The Mirror? Are you self-rejecting or self-accepting? When you see your reflection in the mirror, do you smile acceptingly or do you flinch and groan internally? Some people fear that liking their image in the mirror will mean that they are vain or conceited. Others reject themselves because they are measuring themselves against the fictitious standards of beauty photoshop has created. Still others reject themselves because their lives have not turned out the way they hoped they would. You can tell the difference between self-acceptance and vanity by observing your attitude toward others.  Self-acceptance does not lead you to put anyone else down in order to feel good about yourself, where vanity leads to pointing out others weaknesses in order to feel superior. Vanity and conceit are bluster to make up for and hide personal doubts. Photoshop can be used to make skin flawless, remove imperfections, add or reduce curves. But in the end it seems ...

Marriage

" Marriage is Honorable Among All "  Hebrews 13:4-6 4 Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. 5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." 6 So we may boldly say: "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?" The world is lost and confused when it comes to the subject of marriage. It has taken what is lovely and turned it into something cheap and ugly. Having been devalued, it is easily discarded. Rich and Wendi, you will stand apart in the midst of this culture―husband and wife made holy before God and man―united in covenant before a watching world. Everyone wants to know if you really mean what you say. Everyone wants to see if it really works. Try, as our culture does, to erode and dilute marriage, Christian marriage is a thing to be admired, and eve...

—Mark 3:25 TODAY’S DARE Talk with your spouse about establishing healthy rules of engagement. If your mate is not ready for this, then write out your own personal rules to "fight" by.

If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

Many people may think -they know who you are or what you are about -but they just don't.I always knew what I am about and what I can accomplish,my  family and my boyfriend did too.But when I realised that I just CAN! I Can be whatever I wana be,do whatever I wana do and  go where ever I wana go I realised that those be who undermined me and tried to keep me back in life with their negative thoughts and miserable efforts of advice.Guess what, they were all totally wrong.All people love to do nowadays is relish in other peoples problems and all the while they are covering up their own hidden problems,which trust me is far worse than mine.So learn this lesson all you sexy people out there.Don't listen to other people's perception of you.Listen to your own voice that always tells you YOU CAN !This is truly the truth -don't seek help by negative and jealous people they might lead you to a incorrect path -Trust yourself and God -those two people will never ever let you down...

Hi there guys sorry for being so distant.I have been so pro-occupied lately with purchasing my new car and assignments for university.I had my sisters baby shower and about to plan a bridal shower as well.Through all this I have recently discovered that life is so short.I have heard of about 4 deaths of people who have been close to me and realise that life is but a wind.Now it's here and then it's gone. Yes ,now that I have bought my own car, I have discovered a new found freedom and also makes me think that life with all it's ups and downs makes us stronger.Live life to the fullest ,go for your dreams stop waiting on that thing to happen and that situation to make things happen. Do it right now .The present is all we have. Those people in heaven are looking down on us and saying -Go for it ! Pursue your dreams and don't hesitate for one second. Young people are dying by the second I have now com to that conclusion.With dreams,visions and talents in a cold grave. ...

6 Ways to Re-Ignite Your Relationship by Stephanie Sarkis Need to reignite that spark? Here's how. Published on January 7, 2012 by Stephanie Sarkis, Ph.D. in Here, There, and Everywhere The sparks of love (or the "romantic phase") in the first two years of a relationship usually wind down and turn into long-burning embers.  But what if those embers need a little stoking to get the fire going again?  Here are some ways to reignite that spark. 1.  Write a love letter to your partner. In our busy, fast-paced lives, it can be too easy to forget what made you fall in love with your partner in the first place.  Take some time out to write what you appreciate about your partner, and why you are still in love with him or her. You'll enjoy writing the letter, and recalling those good feelings will make you see your partner in a new light. 2.  Join an activity together. Studies show that when you and your partner learn a new activity together, it st...
