When Divorce Is Better For the Children

September 7th, 2009

Many couples who are married but considering divorce wind up staying together for the sake of their children. Splitting up is likely to have a negative impact on children, but many warring couples ignore the possible impact on the children that staying together might have. I propose a better solution – the amicable split.

Many believe happiness and love are essential for a growing child to become an adapted adult. While that is surely a big generalization it does have some truth to it. No child is going to like coming home from school each day to parents that can barely stand the sight of each other.

While many parents think they can keep their marital problems away from the children it is a facade. That is impossible. A child experiences outer appearance of love well. What the parents say to one another is not nearly as important as their interactions. Kindness and thoughtfulness should not go to the wayside. How is a child to learn love if it is not present in the childhood home? Will they grow into adults who think it is normal for parents not to talk to each other in the family home? Will they think that you don’t need to work on marriage with a partner?

If parents stay together for the sake of the children rather than for the sake of the love they have for each other then invariably the relationship between the two parents gets worse rather than better. Once the decision of divorce is taken, it means that they have made up their minds for that and there is no chance of looking back. Damage is extended.

Property, assets, custody, child support, and what is best for the child are often common arguments in a messy divorce. Some will work to recruit the children to their side.

An amicable split is best when parents are no longer in love or willing to try. Parents should be supportive of each other, helping out with the children, holding civil conversations, and able to make compromises. Parents being able to speak to their children in a mature way about each other and what went wrong in the parent’s relationship. In that way the children will be able to learn from their parent’s mistakes.

So You’re Thinking of Getting Married?

September 6th, 2009

I have witnessed, both within my own family, in the outside world and in my practice, what can happen in a relationship if there is no common bond that can actually bind a couple together.

First let me state the not so obvious: a strong attraction, be it physical, mental or emotional: Love; Does not seem to be enough to keep a couple together. Why? Becuse eventually, the body will wither, the mind will change and the emotions will flutter. And love may turn into a dependency or habit. Unless, there is a third entity; the glue that binds the one to the other; the bond that binds, a mutual goal and lifetime commitment to it. To see you through the inevitable tough times, you will need something greater than both of you; a driving force that can take both of you, like a boat down the river, or an ark during a flood …

In my opinion, there are two good bonds; children and Religion or a Spiritual Practice (to be more politically correct, or any other proven external disciplinary way of life that both parties agreed to commit to whole-heartedly, abide by, follow and emulate; the goal). There are, of course, no guarantees even if both of these are there, but the chances are multiplied exponentially.

Without these, there is no common bond; it’s just two people living separate lives together: convenient for a nice meal, some ambience, safe sex, and the occasional meaningful conversation …

So, both parties must have the same intent or lifetime goal. Otherwise, both sides will be resentful, because, in any situation, for any important decision, no compromise can satisfy both of the parties, because their primary motivating goals are different; or they have no primary motivating goals and “just don’t feel like it” at the time. And so there is no improvement in the situation and resentments, anger, etc. build; and there is no possibility for a long-term relationship.

A tendency towards negativity, insecurity and fear/anxiety may sometimes seem to obscure love. But this is who the person is at the moment; and they are perfect the way they are.

Love may sometimes seem to be obscured by a tendency towards not wanting to be so depended upon by the other, for their happiness, security and emotional wellbeing. But this is who that person is at the moment; and perfect the way they are.

Much of this may stem from residual family entanglements. Control issues coming from the family of origin may be the cause of some behaviors. Some behaviors may come from family insecurity issues.

There are a few key issues that need to be kept in mind: Trust! Honesty! One must trust the other, as the right hand trusts the left. And one must be honest and trustworthy, inside the relationship and in the world at large as well; trusting yourself, being honest with yourself and trusting your partner and being honest with your partner, and being trustworthy and honest in all your dealings in the world. In other words, your thoughts, speech and actions should always be in line with a clear conscience.

There are times when you will feel rejected or abandoned, based on your perception of the situation. There is usually no reason to feel this way; from the other’s standpoint, it’s not about you, it may be about their family control issues.

At times you may feel that you would appear weak if you give in to the desires of the other. There is no reason to feel weak by giving in: remember the bond that binds; you can show your compassion and accommodation of what may be the other’s family insecurity issues.

Besides the above mentioned, or perhaps, because of the above mentioned, there may be a lack of real compassion and empathy on the part of both parties for each other. To see the world from the other persons heart and to trust the other person, that they are doing the best they can. To see them as perfect, the way they are. (Don’t get me wrong: there is always room for improvement.) To realize the person is always more important than any ideology or material object or goal; the relationship comes first.

Perhaps ask; what’s the worst thing that can happen if the worst thing happens. Most of the time, when the dust settles, nothing too spectacular. Again, the third entity, the bond that binds, the trust in that everything that happens is only good.

There is a need for genuine compassion and complete acceptance of the other as perfect as they are; acknowledgement and acceptance of each others needs and idiosyncrasies and the commitment and willingness to live with them as they are, for as long as they are that way. And how can we come to such a point. History has shown, as do presetn day successful marriages, that there is a bond that binds one love ot the other. This “glue” comes in the form of a “third party”.

The other person; their feelings, hopes, dreams, goals must be your own as well: you are one; heads and tails of the same coin. Essentially, two bodies split off from one soul, one spirit.

It says, “All beginnings are difficult”. And while this may be so, heading in the right direction, with the right foot, for the right reasons, towards the right goal, will ensure that the trip will be worthwhile and pleasant for you and for all of those who love you …

When Divorce Is Better For the Children

September 3rd, 2009

Many couples who are married but considering divorce wind up staying together for the sake of their children. While there is certainly a negative impact on children from divorcing parents, there is also a negative impact when those unhappy parents stay together. A more suitable solution would be an amicable split.

Many believe happiness and love are essential for a growing child to become an adapted adult. While that is surely a big generalization it does have some truth to it. Coming home from school every day to parents that argue or can not stand being near one another, is not a healthy environment for a child.

It’s often little more than a hoax to try and keep martial issues out of the child’s eye. That is impossible. Love is easily seen by a child. What the parents say to one another is not nearly as important as their interactions. Kindness and thoughtfulness should not go to the wayside. What will a child learn about love and its place in their own future, when this love is not present in the family in which they grow up? When they become adults, will they think it is common for parents to not communicate with each other at home? Would they believe working on the marriage is unnecessary?

If parents stay together for the sake of the children rather than for the sake of the love they have for each other then invariably the relationship between the two parents gets worse rather than better. When they do finally decide to divorce then they are so far gone that there is no chance of an amicable split. This compounds the damage.

Property, assets, custody, child support, and what is best for the child are often common arguments in a messy divorce. Some will work to recruit the children to their side.

If two parents are not able or willing to work on their relationship, and rekindle their love for each other then best option is the amicable split. Parents should be supportive of each other, helping out with the children, holding civil conversations, and able to make compromises. Parents should be capable of talking to their children in mature and productive ways about each other and what the problems were with the parent’s relationship. In that way the children will be able to learn from their parent’s mistakes.

How To Repair Your Marriage In 3 Easy Steps

August 31st, 2009

Why do marriages break?

Lots of reasons really. Physical separation, money problems, lost respect, infidelity, emotional distance, loss of trust, and ineffective communication are common.

With all these problems, can you really repair your broken marriage?

Absolutely! If you follow these 3 steps.

Communicate–The Right Way

Healthy relationships are based on rock-solid communication. That’s the strong foundation that keeps relationships solid and secure and safe.

What happens to buildings when their foundations disintegrate? They fall down. And you get the same result when a relationship’s foundation–communication–disintegrates.

No relationship can survive without rock-solid communication. Communication builds trust and sharing, which give relationships the health and strength and freshness they need to handle any stress.

Everybody talks about communication, but what is it really?

It’s not chatting or texting or emailing or FaceBooking any random thought that comes into your head.

And it’s not phoning or texting because you’re bored. That’s not communication. That’s using people. And that’s just selfish.

Real communication is about THEM. It’s about listening–not talking–really listening to what your partner needs to express. When you’re really communicating, you’re listening… and helping… and supporting… and forgetting all abut YOU.

Do that… and you’ll have real communication that will withstand all the modern pressures. Just the sort of communication you need to fix your broken marriage.

See a Counselor

Good communication is necessary to fix your marriage, but it may not be sufficient. Sometimes, we’re so caught up in the rat race–and all the daily problems and frustrations and stresses–that we miss the big picture. When that happens, we need a trained, professional, impartial listener to give us perspective.

When we’re desperately trying to fix a marriage, we stress about problems… and forget all the wonderful things we shared… and the magical moments that made us fall in love with our life partner in the first place. And we inflate every frustration… every little dissatisfaction… until they look like disasters. And then we panic, and believe divorce is our only option.

That’s super-common. When we’re stuck in a swamp surrounded by crocodiles, it’s not real easy to enjoy the sunset. But that’s just what we’ve gotta do. And that’s why we need a counselor to give us perspective and advice to fix our broken marriage.

Move Forward

We’ve gotta move forward. Don’t obsess about past problems and frustrations and hurt feelings… get on with your life… keep moving.

I know that advice sounds callous and uncaring–and it’s often hard to take–but you’ve just gotta suck it up and do it. Children can’t stop fixating on small injustices. But you can–and must.

Keep moving forward. Keep growing as a person. Keep enjoying life. Keep adding maximum value to your partner’s world.

Make sure your partner is more satisfied with you than without you… and you’ve got a great chance to fix your broken marriage.

Conflict - Relationship Advice

August 28th, 2009

Conflict is going to happen in any relationship.  There are healthy ways to deal with conflict and unhealthy ways.  You can get more Relationship Intelligence here.

There are many unhealthy ways to deal with conflict.  Attacking your mate is obviously one of the bad ways.  You can attack your partner verbally or non-verbally.  Shouting or screaming, mocking them or treating them with disdain are some of the biggest relationship killers.

There are a few things you can do that are healthy when conflict arises.  One of the first things you can do is take a breath.  Breathe.  This will help you to notice that we all often revert to the emotional age of 7 year old’s during conflict.

While breathing, also see if you can notice that conflict causes crappy behavior.  Crying, screaming, withdrawing, insulting each other.  But the crappy conduct only last a few minutes in most cases.  See if you can stop taking it so personally.  Learn more Marriage Guidance here.

Another way to deal with conflict healthily is to learn to de-escalate it.  Don’t let it build up to the point where you say or do things you’ll regret.  One way to de-escalate can be to withdraw for five minutes.  Say I need a few minutes to think about this, then leave the room.

Also, once you’ve finished the immediate argument, don’t withhold your affection.  Don’t refuse to touch or caress your partner for days just because they fought with you.  This can end up killing your relationship.

Next, try to reconnect with your mate after the argument.  Don’t wait days to talk civilly to them again.  Once things have cooled down, even if you don’t think it was your fault, reconnect.  Say “sorry we fought, are you okay?”  Do not let the anger between you linger.

Dealing well with conflict takes practice and time to learn.  But it is well worth it.  You’re going to argue, the question is can you do so in a way that doesn’t kill off your relationship over time.  You can get a complete system on relationship help here.

I Bought An -Off The Shelf- System To Get My Wife Back

August 21st, 2009

If you are going through a divorce or split, then I know it can be a terrible time as it cut me to ribbons.

Most people don’t realise but you relationship could be saved. Even if it looks long gone.

A lot of people will simply accept the situation and move on to the next phase of their lives.

If there are any feelings left for your ex then you owe it to yourself to give it a go and make up.

A lot of specific info has been written on this subject and is available on the net.

Others who have successfully reversed a split & gotten their ex back have put their ideas down on paper

There’s a few ready made systems created by some of these people that involve easy to follow step by step instructions.

Hard to swallow I know, but the system I used has helped over 12,000 people get back together.

These systems work repeatedly because they follow a pattern and they use the fact that we all work on the same psychological levels.

I used a psychological tactic in one of the steps to get my wife back. I got my wife to call me without actually asking her to.

I did this using the system suggestion of leaving her a message that mentioned how well I was doing and then I thanked her.

This got her very curious on two levels. Why would I thank her and what was I up to to be having so much fun.

Her curiosity was such that she just had to call me back. Just as the system said she would.

I was pretty confident after this call that things would work out. The system said that if she calls she still has feelings.

If she didn’t feel anything then she probably wouldn’t call back. Indifference being the opposite of love.

It turned out that she did call, so she clearly had feelings. We are together now and stronger than ever.

You can get your ex back with an off the shelf system, I used one to get my wife back.

Get My Wife Back With Probably The Worlds Best System

August 20th, 2009

The article title makes a bold claim about getting my wife back but is it true?

Because for me it worked as advertised, I got my wife back, so in my experience it’s probably the best system in the world.

When I went through a breakup I researched online and came across a step by step system that claimed it could do the job.

In fact there was a whole host of stuf that all claimed the same, that they could get my wife back.

If you added the cost of them all up it was enough to buy another bride online somewhere. Which was quite an appealing idea!

I decided to give two systems a go as I could make my mind up but one turned out to be a let down. Fortunately the other wasn’t.

The system that turned out the best had a section on how to use psychological tactics to our advantage. How we are part of these psychological tactics almost every day.

Advertisers, governments, our employers and even our friends and relatives use it without us really realising.

You may recognise this situation. Your friend ask you to go to the gym, you decline. They say “if you aren’t up to the task it’s ok” and then pride takes over with you and you are up and raring to go.

We can get our ex to see it from our point of view with these manipulative tactics. Although they are more gentle pushes than manipulation, which sounds nasty.

We need all the tricks and tips we can get our hands on to get our ex back, including ones that may be frowned upon.

My first move was to get my wife to call me, initiate the conversation. I did this with the power of curiosity.

The system instructed me to leave a voicemail and in the message tell her how much I have going on right now and to thank her for what shes done for me.

Keeping details to the bare minimum ensures she will be curious enough to pick up the phone.

When she does you know you are going to succeed as the mere fact she called you shows she still has feelings for you.

If she didn’t feel anything at all she would not call back. The opposite to love is indifference, not caring at all. If she calls, it’s a great sign.

After this step there’s a whole host of tricks and tactics you can use. It took me about six or seven weeks to get her back but I bet you can do it in less time than that.

A Temperamental Partner Can Be Controlled

August 20th, 2009

 

Has it ever happened to you that your husband is in fit of anger in public while the two of you are having a discussion in a quiet plush restaurant? Did it ever happen to you that out of nowhere, your husband suddenly yells at you for no clear reason, be it in your home or in a public place? Someway, you can’t do something about little marital conflicts and some spouses with husbands like whom you have will just say that it’s a normal way of life for wives to be yelled at by husbands. But up to when they can pretend not be affected by it, until they are down in the dumps or after they have been beaten black and blue? They don’t have to wait for things like these to happen. Now is the right time that they should learn in controlling husbands and they need to learn it fast but the only problem is, how?

Almost everywhere, there are lots of marriage counseling experts who are always willing to lend a helping hand to couples who have problems with their partners. They can be approached and get some good advices on how to save a marriage before it can fall off the abyss of broken and tormented hearts and failed marriages. In controlling husbands or wives, a marriage counselor is the best person to approach. Unfortunately, there are others who seem to feel very embarrassed and guilty if they go to marriage counselors for help. They would want, if given a chance, to learn by themselves how to control everything and make the marriage work for them once again.

But is there really a way to learn all of these things on their own? Maybe, perhaps, they are talking about some learning tools like a book guide that can teach them in controlling their partners. Why, of course, there is such kind of book guide that can do a thing like that. Even those who have problems with their fiancés, they can learn in controlling girlfriends or boyfriends in the most sensible way as possible.

Crying Like A Child Didn’t Help Get My Ex Back - Psychological Mumbo Jumbo Did

August 19th, 2009

When my wife dumped me I was a wreck. It was such a shock that I could barely function.

I was crying like a baby for no reason. I was having a hard time at work.

I found myself regularly texting and phoning her but it was getting me nowhere. In fact it was doing the complete opposite and making it worse.

I realise now that this was the wrong thing to do and in fact should have been doing the total opposite.

I got hold of a step by step system that claimed it would get my wife back. To say I was sceptical was an understatement.

After making a decision to give the system a go I cut off all contact with my ex, just as the system advised.

I then did as it suggested and took some time to get my head right. This worked great for me as I started feeling more positive almost straight away.

The system had an eye opening bonus section about psychological mind games. We rarely know but we are psychologically manipulated all the time.

This is the kind of stuff I like. Although to be honest I was unaware of how poweful these psychological tactics are.

We are bombarded with psychological messages every day. From the advertising industry to our own governments. They use these tactics on us daily.

Over the years the government has manipulated us small step by small step into a position where they want us.

Of course it’s still going on and will ultimately lead to us giving the government most of our earnings in taxes and we will be happy to do it.

The systems psychological tactics work in a similar way. To get my ex back by getting her to take many small steps instead of one big step.

To start off with a small step of agreeing to meet. When she’s comfortable with this then move up to having a coffee together.

The next step involves having lunch together a few times to let her get into a comfort zone.

The next steps involve having a meal out somewhere, then a proper date and then to get her to stay over at my place after the night out.

The next and last step is getting her to move back in permanently. It’s not a big step from staying over regularly to moving back in. Total time taken was about 6 weeks.

If this is something you think you’d like to try to get your ex back then you should give it a go. It works and it will continue to work. Get a better review at my site.
