The Silent Treatment in Relationships (What to do)

Relax. Know that tough times and challenges will be there. Don’t be irrational or frantic. Exercise patience.

Look back. What brought about the silent treatment? Something you said? Something you did or didn’t do? Misunderstanding?
Pray about it. Let God reveal to you how to go about it. Repent to God if you’ve done wrong. Pray that God makes your spouse’s heart moldable and receptive.

Apologize even if what you said was right. Apologize if how you said it came out wrongly. Love is not about proving who is wrong or right. What you need is for your spouse to warm up to you by you showing you are understanding. Say sorry as you give eye contact, but if you are being avoided, write a text or a letter, reach out.

The Main Reasons Why Women Cheat Married or Not

There is a common misperception that it’s only men who step out on their partners, and that women are always faithful. To that, I say: Who are all these men cheating with exactly? Do heterosexual men only cheat with single women and each other?

The simple truth is that approximately as many married, heterosexual women cheat as married, heterosexual men. Research suggests that 10 to 20 percent of men and women in marriages or other committed (monogamous) relationships will actively engage in sexual activity outside of their primary relationship. And these numbers are likely under-reported, possibly by a wide margin, thanks to denial and confusion about what constitutes infidelity in the digital era. For example: Are you cheating if you look at porn? If you flirt on social media? If you have a profile on Ashley Madison that you check regularly, even though you never hook up in person?

1. Low Self-Esteem
Women with low self-esteem, depression, unresolved childhood trauma, and similar issues may seek validation through romantic and sexual activity. If someone wants them in that way, they feel worthwhile, desirable, wanted, needed, and loveable.

She made the Best part of our Married Life a Nightmare

 “FOR almost 15 years, I was married to a woman who made the best part of our married life a nightmare,” confessed Jimi, a fairly-successful businessman now in his 40s. “I knew she had a bit of a temper when I met her.

She was pretty, had a good job and a lot of admirers, but she chose me instead and I was flattered. When she got pregnant barely nine months after we got together, I didn’t even hesitate to offer her marriage.

 “When she had our first child, a girl, her nasty side surfaced. She became really nasty whenever she was crossed. Thinking she was suffering from the dreaded post-natal depression; I urged her to see a doctor—I even went to see him behind her back to urge him to give her something to calm her down.

Are You in a Relationship with a Narcissist? Here is What You Need to Do

Narcissism is a tricky concept. Although most people intuitively understand why narcissism is toxic to be around (the superiority complex that makes a person treat all others as beneath them, the aggressive need for control, the inability to take responsibility for their actions, and many other harmful behaviors), many still often find themselves ensnared by a narcissist's charm long before they actually realize the person they're with suffers from a serious personality disorder.

If you find yourself dating a narcissist, it is possible to make the relationship work with a lot of strength, patience, and self-love-as long as the relationship hasn't turned abusive. But for many, narcissism is unbearable in the long term, and a breakup is absolutely necessary. The challenge, then, will be to get out safely.If you have decided that it's time to leave your narcissistic partner, you are likely in for a big challenge on multiple levels. Here's what to do to protect yourself.

Do You Have a Stingy Boyfriend or Girlfriend? Check These Tips

If your boyfriend or girlfriend does not really share as much as you think in  a healthy relationship requires, here's what to do.

Couples giving and accepting gifts and other tangible, valuable things is a well-established relationship dynamic which actually deserves all the spotlight and discussion imaginable. And here’s why: no relationship thrives without sharing – and this goes beyond the things you can see and touch.

Never Take Each Other for Granted
Be aware of every wonderful thing that your partner does for you, and express your gratitude whenever possible. This might be as simple as thanking them for doing the dishes after you’ve eaten dinner, or telling them how much it means to you that they make your coffee/tea exactly the way you like it. They’ll feel appreciated for the love and kindness they show you, and will express their appreciation to you in turn, so no one ever feels like their actions aren’t being acknowledged.

Relationship Goals:Few Goals that will Nurture and Protect Your Bond

Let's be honest — most of us talk a big game about the importance of our marriage or love relationship, but when the rubber meets the road, we aren't really putting the relationship first. 

1. Prioritize your relationship.
Over time, you begin to take one another for granted. You get busy and distracted with your own stuff and neglect to tune in to the needs and desires of your partner. You view the relationship as a given, something that's just a by product of your connection to this other person.
But the relationship is an entity on its own. There's you. There's your partner. And there's the relationship.

Of these three, the relationship should be in first place. In fact, it should be in first place over everything else in your life, including your children, work, hobbies, or extended family.

So the goal here must be a mutual one. You both must embrace the relationship as the centerpiece of your life. How do you do that? It's a commitment you have to reinforce every single day in all of your decisions and actions.

It requires constant recalibration based on the needs of each partner and what is going on in your lives. Take a moment every day to ask yourself and each other, “Are we putting our relationship first today? What do we need to do today to nurture it?”

For Better For Worse Vows is Nothing But a Mere Word for Some People

 Marriage vows are promises each partner in a couple makes to the other during a wedding ceremony.

For better and for worse is part of the vows people exchange on their wedding days. While many people uphold this, it appears that for some people, they are nothing but mere words.

Why Do You Think Most Relationships Fail?

You met a girl.,both of you started talking.
A lot of talking on whatsapp, insta, snapchat, almost everywhere.
Both of you realized you have fallen for each other.
You confess your love to her and she says yes, there starts a new exciting journey.

Lot of love is pouring out, “hearts” “kisses” and “hugs”. Clinging to each other all the time.
Making promises of future, getting naughty when alone, exchanging pics of morning, evening and night.

One day she gets angry for not replying to her msgs. you console her and after a small fight everything gets normal and love pours out again.

Tips To A Happy Relationship

One of the most vital components to having a happy relationship is to set boundaries. It gives you an idea of what to accept in your relationship. Here are basic steps to setting limits

Understand yourself

Relationship boundaries define your individuality. Set expectations for your partner, and protect youself from entering into an unhealthy relationship. It is also important to understand that your boundaries are probably different when it comes to different people and, over time, your boundaries and relationships may change. One of the most rewarding parts of a relationship is being able to relax your boundaries.

Be sensitive to each other’s feelings

In order to set effective boundaries, you must understand your feelings and that of your partner. A critical comment from you can make your partner feel bad. Being aware of your partner’s feelings puts you in check. Also, ensure you are consciously not crossing any boundaries with the other person. Identify how your boundary has been crossed and discuss it with your partner.

Attract The Right Person With These Tips

Some relationships do not stand the test of time because the partners are not compatible. Here are some of the ways to attract the right person for a lasting relationship:

Be real
Being real and not leading a fake life to impress someone will attract the right person to want to be with you. Only insecure people portray what they are not or do not have in order to get the attention they seek. Also, real people do not compromise their likes to satisfy the other person and end up hurt. To be real, think about your tastes, stay true to those standards and you will definitely attract someone who will love you for who you are.

Be confident
To attract the right people for a relationship, you have to be confident in yourself. Confidence usually comes from knowing your worth/value and loving yourself. It also shows in your personality and carriage. Being confident also means that you will not be needy as neediness repels potential partners and attracts only the ones that might tend to be controlling. Men and women get easily attracted to people who are confident. However, confidence should not be mistaken as pride or arrogance, which puts people off.

What Do Men And Women Want From Eachother???

People tend to ask couples who have been married for a long period what their secrets are. I always find it an odd question because by virtue of the word secret, it suggests it is not something one wants to share. Besides, one couple’s successful ingredients may not work for another.

The two most important questions asked relating to the dynamics between the genders are what do men want from women and what do women want from men? It is one thing to know the answer and make a decision on how to respond to it.

However, it is a whole different ball game as it is mostly the case not to have a clue. When we strip away all the confusion and complexities of the 21st Century living where gender roles are not so defined, sometimes tipping the balance to the point of non-recognition, there have been and will continue to be some basic primordial impulses and needs between the sexes.

Women primarily want a strong man to protect them, to provide strong genes to father their offspring. Men want a woman with child bearing hips to produce their babies and they want their women to be a mother to the children and to them.

Below is a vignette of a discussion between a group of men and women about the topic

Fast forward to modern day living where we would all agree the story and attitudes are somewhat different.

Although some argue that the intentions and needs are really still the same and that is why relations are in so much chaos because couples are trying to go against the grain and are fighting their basic nature.

I am being somewhat of a coward here and putting all cases of the argument in this article, trying not to pitch my tent on any particular side (I will probably fail in this attempt).

See How Jealousy Destroy Relationships!!

Even the strongest relationship could suffer if it becomes a breeding ground for jealousy and insecurity. It is easy for doubts to creep in when one or both partners start to become unsure. When this happens, the couple need to take some time to analyze themselves, before they can truly move forward.

Let us take a look at a few causes of jealousy in a relationship;

1. Low self-esteem:
 When one of the partners have low self esteem, they would begin to feel inferior in the relationship, because they start to believe they are not worth loving.

They believe their partner deserves better and they are patiently waiting for their partner to realize this and leave them. This would then result in them accusing their partners of being disloyal since they are obsessed with the thought that it would happen sooner or later.
