How to Save a Marriage or Relationship From Catastrophe...

Your relationship and mine too, is a 24/7 job without a lunch break, we must continue to work at it and grow together. Sometimes we forget to laugh together and not take things so seriously, life is already hard enough with (bills, kids, money, etc)...yes! we all have our cross to bare. Today surprise your mate by telling them a joke, even if it's corny, watch what happens...they may laugh at the joke or tell you your crazy, either way you made their day and showed them you do care! My jokes for today below:    WHY AM I MARRIED? You have two choices in life: You can stay single and be miserable, or get married and wish you were dead. At a cocktail party, one woman said to another, "Aren't you wearing your wedding ring on the wrong finger?" "Yes, I am. I married the wrong man." When a woman steals your husband, there is no better revenge than to let her keep him. A woman is incomplete until she is married. Then she is finished .. A little b...

Building trust in a relationship can be very difficult depending on the circumstances. If one partner had an affair, then it may take several years to build trust in a relationship.  It can be done and marriages survive affairs but it will take time. The person who had the affair will need to apologies to his/her partner and then be prepared for that person to learn to trust them again. But trust is something that needs to be built up in every partnership. After all you are going to share your life with this other person so you need to know that they share the same values as you do. If you are trying to build mutual reliance there are several ways of doing this: 1) Make sure your words and actions match. If you say you are going to be home at a certain time, then make sure you are or else phone in advance to explain why. It is the little gestures that define who we are. 2) Always tell the truth no matter how painful. Lies destroy every type of relationship from friendships t...

Men often wonder if they are speaking the same language as women because they can land in hot water very quickly.  They look for relationship advice for men in order to avoid these situations but most relationship advice is written by women for other women. There are some basic rules that men need to understand in order to increase their success rate with women. The first one is you need to worry when your woman gives you the silent treatment.  Most men go silent because they have nothing left to say but when a woman goes silent, it is generally a bit hint that you have upset her. Whilst you may think that silence is golden, women use not talking as a punishment. So if your lady friend has a silent day, think back over your actions and try to determine what you have done to upset her. Secondly, PMS is not always the reason for a woman being in a bad mood. Sometimes they are upset and hurt over something and it has nothing to do with when their period is due. If you cons...

Are you worried about your new partner and whether they are committed to you? Do you wonder how a rebound relationship can work particularly if there are unresolved feelings left from the previous affair? Often rebound relationships can be a band aid solution for the pain and hurt inflicted by the previous lover. If the person getting involved in the new relationship was the one to end the old one, I would be less worried. Usually people have been thinking of ending a relationship for ages before the event actually happens. By the time they get to finish it, they may have worked through their feelings and be ready to move on. This doesn't apply to the person who didn’t instigate the previous breakup and becomes quickly involved in a new relationship. Some people cannot bear to be on their own so will flit from person to person in an effort to avoid dealing with the issues leading to the breakup. They are used to being part of a couple. They have an inherent need for someone to...

I love reading relationship quotes and today I thought I would share a couple of my favorite ones with you. Where possible, proper credit has been given to the person who wrote or spoke the original quote. However in some cases that may not have been possible. You know love funny quotes as I believe humor is a key ingredient in a great relationship. Some of the funny ones I like are: "What can you say to a man who has just had sex?  Anything you like as he is asleep". Or for those male readers - "what is the difference between a terrorist and a woman with PMS?" "You can negotiate with a terrorist!" Joking aside, this quote credited to Leo Buscaglia should be in all couple’s homes.  “Too often we under estimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around”. As most of us know it is the little things in a relationship that ca...

Getting your ex back dominates the thoughts of many a man and woman.  Perhaps you were the one to finish the relationship thinking that life was passing you by.  Having been in the nightmare that is the singles world, you have decided that your ex was fantastic and now you need to know how to get them back. Or maybe you were the one who was dumped but having had time to pull yourself together you are determined to teach your former partner the error of their ways. Before you consider how to get your ex back in your life, you should be 100% sure that this is the outcome that you want.  You are going to spend a lot of time and energy achieving this wish but it will be a waste of everyone's time if you are doing it solely for revenge.  This applies to those people that have been dumped so start dreaming of revenge and how it will make them feel better. One quote that I believe in is revenge is a dish best served cold.  What it means is that you have to let you...

If you are determined to win back lost love, then go for it. You only have one life and it is up to you how you live it. If you are sure that this person is the right partner for you, go get him/her today. Be strong and single-minded in your approach. Now you know what you want, it will be easier to ignore everyone Else's advice and well meaning contributions. If this person is your lost love, then trust your own judgment. You know them better than anyone else so you should be able to work out how best to get them to return to you. Be sure of your motives in particular that you are not trying to rekindle lost love because you are afraid of being on your own. Being single can be fun, it just takes a little getting used to. It is hard to be objective when emotions are involved so it is always a good idea to write down a list of all the reasons why you want this person back. Also write down a list of why the relationship failed. Obviously you would expect the first list to be the...
