The True Purpose of a Relationship

The True Purpose of a Relationship

The True Purpose of a Relationship
By E. Raymond Rock

No, it's not to make babies! Although making babies is a very important consideration regarding the propagation of our species, especially in Europe and the United States where the birth rate is plummeting, it's not the prime purpose. And it's not to keep you company. Or make you financially or psychologically secure. Or to help the other person get by in life, or any other of those kindhearted, empathetic reasons. No, it goes much deeper than that.

Think about what a relationship is. You meet someone, find out about each other, and if things are compatible test the waters a little further. Then a fondness grows, and a trust, a caring, and a terrible feeling when you are separated from that person - you have fallen in love. For awhile, you might completely absorb into your partner and it seems as if you are both part of the same organism. Something happens, however, and this oneness eventually turns into separate identities once more.

While you both were one, you became one with the world as well. The world that once upon a time might have been dark and lonely now becomes a wonderful place, and everyone and everything is smiling. There isn't a thing that you and your partner couldn't achieve, and your elevated consciousness seems to affect the entire universe. Everything changes, however, and this is true of relationships as well. What was heaven on earth now becomes just the earth again as our relationship shifts from all encompassing love to the administration of life.

The relationship then becomes what the true purpose of relationship is - a study of life itself. In this study, the important thing is to be aware of life as it changes and takes on the different hues and colors that relationship provides, and not to become stuck in images of the past. What is past is past, and if we dwell there, we will miss out on the tremendous energy of life and life's lessons that the mirror of relationship provides.

A close, open relationship will reflect our fundamental being. A relationship, therefore, is a search for and a reflection of truth; and a search for truth is something that goes on every day, every moment. If we become lost in our relationship and live off the images that we have formed about our partner, we will never give him or her opportunity to change, or the freedom to breathe. If we become stuck in our images and perceptions of what each other should be, we can be assured of jealousy, envy and all the other negative emotions that many relationships experience every day.

The true purpose of a relationship therefore involves freedom; not freedom from the other, but mutual freedom within a relationship with the other, no different from a freedom of relationship with the world without depending upon the world for our happiness. This is all connected to the fundamental purpose of relationship, which is to learn about life, and which is learning about ourselves and learning how to become free of life's negative influences.

The true purpose of relationship is learning to trust as well; trusting that our partner is allowing us to change. That he or she is accepting those changes and adjusting to them. That their love exceeds any changes that are happening within ourselves, and that they promote our changing - grateful for our changing and not afraid of it. And when we return the trust, our partner deepens theirs in an elevated spiral. This is when romantic love changes into something so much better; a mature inquiry into human nature, and the wondrousness of it. This is when a relationship begins to get interesting.

Why Romance Stops and How to Keep it Alive

Why Romance Stops and How to Keep it Alive

Why Romance Stops and How to Keep it Alive
By Helene Rothschild

Are you frustrated with the lack of romance in your relationship? Have you been puzzled why it disappeared? Do you feel more like roommates?

You are not alone. As a Marriage, Family Therapist, I had many clients who experienced the same problem. Through the process I developed, HART (Holistic And Rapid Transformation), I was able to assist them to successfully rekindle their romantic love by helping them to understand the causes and solutions.

To begin with, love is not enough. It takes two people who have high self-esteem and good communication skills to maintain a long standing, healthy relationship. Unfortunately, we do not teach these vital things in school. In this article, I will deal with the communication patterns.

Some of the major causes of this problem are how people deal with their negative feelings of fear, hurt, anger, resentment, etc. There are four basic patterns couples have. Three out of the four are dysfunctional and likely to affect what happens in the bedroom. I always ask the couple to stand-up and face each other up so that they can experience their negative reactions and then change them to positive ones.

The first stance is two active aggressors. You know when they are angry because they are being critical and likely raising their voices. This is a noisy household with many heated arguments. I ask the couple to face each other, shake their pointed fingers, and pretend they are having an argument.

The second pattern is two passive aggressors. This household is quiet but there is a cold war in the mist. Both people turn their backs from each other. They deal with their negative feelings by shutting down. However they are often expressed covertly with sarcasm, being absent or late, forgetting important dates, etc. If they have the courage, one day, they ask for a divorce, or ease their pain with an affair.

The combination of the active and passive aggressor is the third dysfunctional pattern. To picture this, imagine one person shaking his angry finger while the other turns his back. These patterns feed each other. The more one expresses anger to their partner, the more they move away. The active aggressor then feels angrier and escalates the attacks.

As you can see, everyone loses in these three dysfunctional patterns. What then to do? The only functional way is the active aggressor puts his accusing finger down and the passive aggressor faces his partner. With constructive communication skills, they can resolve their issues and feel even closer. Once they come to win-win solutions and make agreements, they can maintain a romantic, loving relationship.

By the way, this model can be applied to all relationships including business partners, friends, children, siblings, and co-workers. Being caring and loving will bring people closer. Passive or active aggression will push people away.

For couples, I also recommend that they take care of their appearances to maintain their attraction. It is very helpful to schedule weekly date nights and monthly weekends away to keep their relationship intimate. This is also a gift to the children as they can do well with happy parents. The couples are also then modeling a healthy relationship.

In summary, romantic intimacy is often affected by what happens outside of the bedroom. If you are having romantic problems, look inside yourself to see what you can do different. Pointing your finger at your partner or ignoring them will only escalate the problem. With awareness and communication tools you can enjoy the loving, romantic relationship you desire and deserve.

Let Go Of An Abusive Relationship

Let Go Of An Abusive Relationship

Let Go Of An Abusive Relationship
By Sue Craig

So where are you at in your life? Are you a 'Battered Woman' ? If so, then there's something I'd like to share with you. Why? Because I've been a battered woman and because of where I'm at I feel like I have something to help you understand and to help you break away from a destructive relationship.

Whether you realize it or not, you attracted this person to you. Not because that was what you wanted for yourself and absolutely not because you deserve that, but if you know anything about quantum physics you should know that you attract what your vibrations send out. That is known as the Law of Attraction.

The Law of Attraction states that you attract what you focus your thoughts on. The chances are that somewhere in your life journey someone made you feel like you weren't worthy... that you didn't deserve good things that you needed strict discipline, or that you weren't good enough... taking you to a life of being a battered woman.

Well, you know better than that, don't you? You deserve a loving companion and all the wonderful things in life that you enjoy. You deserve to be happy and nothing should be able to stand in your way.The universe created you in the image of perfection... you are beautiful and many blessings are coming to you every day.

That's hard to believe when your world seems in a shambles, but when you open your eyes to what brought all the negativity in your life you'll find that it all started with negative thoughts and the negativity grew with them thoughts..Your thoughts created your reality, whether you intended them to or not.

It's hard to let go of limiting ideas and beliefs but you need to sort out the ones that serve you and the ones who don't and believe that doors are opening to you to something way better. There's a lesson in what you've been through, now it's time to move on to them better things.

You WILL find love again and it will be a sweet love. You WILL find happiness! It's not easy to walk away but you WILL look back on it and find that it was for the best. You will find yourself and find peace within yourself.. Find the positive things in life and focus on them and watch them attract more good things. Hold the most beautiful vision in your mind and watch it manifest.

She is a massage therapist, writer, internet marketer, and lifestyle advocate. Sue has made the principles of the Law of Attraction a way of life and shares what has worked for her to give her a life of total fulfillment and wants others to have the same peace in their lives

Conscious Relationships!

Conscious Relationships!

Conscious Relationships!
By Angelique Shofar

There is an intense wave of" longing for love" sweeping the shores of our modern hearts. Like the sound of an imminent bee, the buzz I keep hearing from women and men is getting louder. The essence of relating is shifting and the need to love and be loved is escalating. People are seeking new creative ways of relating through partnerships, merges and acquisitions. Folks are tired of doing it alone and learning that relationships should bring sweetness and not sufferance.

The dating game abounds us. Ads saturate the classified section of the papers; TV screens flood with love connection hotlines; the internet streams with websites that promise a fruitful search for that dream person. Meanwhile, a man living with his dog longs for the sweet nectar of a female human companion; and a sister is struggling with a 9-5 job, raising two small children even as her aching shoulders long for the soothing and firm touch of a man. Though they may both be caught up in the superficial aspect of relating as society and associates have defined, the truth is they both long for a taste of the divine spirit.

The Sufi poet Rumi interlaces our desire for human love with our thirst for the divine. Our longing for connection with another is natural to the human experience. As members of the human tribe our health, joy, sanity and happiness are complexly interconnected with others, with spirit, and with the longing for and needing to awaken our own hearts, to know love on a level that's deeply intimate, vulnerable, revealing, risky and necessary.

On the flip side our longing and sometimes obsession becomes an attachment that causes pain and suffering. No thanks to popular music filled with proverbial themes of desperation. "I can't live without you"; "You're my everything!" Most of us who have lost a lover know the deep aching inside as we face our emptiness. We can become so consumed by the relationship, swallowed by someone else's existence, giving our lover the power to give and take away our happiness. The result is suffering from the emptiness of forgetting that spirit is within us and around us. No one can make us happy. If you accept that the longing for a lover is your desire to break through your rigid ego and be free, than the experience of love can become real.

The ego loves to take the path of least resistance to avoid hurt, fear, neediness, weakness. The initial stage of getting to know someone can be filled with ego battles. Truth is, you need to be open to all that comes your way - the dark along with the moments of joy, happiness, and bliss. Experience it all with awake-fullness! Feel the roar, the purr, the bark, the bite and the breath of spirit swirling through you, sensuous and full of life.

Ego will find every excuse to hold on to the old. Love comes our way and suddenly the ego throws up a fence. Awa and Dugan's relationship never had a chance. Stuck in the right and wrong mode, they could not take off because their ego battles made listening to each other difficult. They were too busy trying to protect their ego. The ego fears surrender and avoids change. Some have been without a partner for so long that they've conned themselves into believing its best.

Relationships involve more than effort. Relationships take practice. Practice relating, practice loving; practice putting love in action. We don't see relating as needing to be exercised or practiced to become better. We often theorize it. Truth is we lack skills required, the effort and even creativity to love.

Yes, I know - the mind wants to put labels of good and bad, but they are neither - they simply reflect aspects of our humanness. I guess that's why I've resonated with Eastern traditions of no judgment with heaven and hell being momentary states of consciousness - moments we all live through over and over in a life time. When you get upset it's not a bad thing, it's a message thing. A call or sometimes a scream from within saying, "Can you hear me now? I'm here, stop hiding from me. I need your attention."

When we stop searching for fascination outside ourselves, when we stop seeking God outside and turn with curiosity into our inner world, there you find peace and arrive at a place inside of yourself that accepts yourself and another.

Imagine your lover looking tenderly into your eyes, knowing your deepest secrets, having seen you in your worst mood and appearance, as well as in your sweetest, generous, sometimes most selfish modes..... and still truly loving you. Imagine being able to do the same. This is the budding of a conscious relationship.

Sex And Love In The Early 20th Century


AchievementRadio.com's

Sex And Love In The Early 20th Century

Sex And Love In The Early 20th Century
By Marta Hiatt

In 1930 the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America announced the adoption of the "Motion Picture Code," which was designed to clean up the movie business. The Code forbade the use of words such as virgin, seduce, pregnant, chippy, broad and even such innocuous words as damn and hell. In 1934 the Catholic Church announced the formation of "The Legion of Decency," and promised to boycott films it found offensive. Each week churches gave parishioners a copy of what was commonly called "The X list," which forbade Catholics to see movies that were on it.

One film on this list was "The Moon is Blue," made in 1953, starring William Holden and Maggie McNamara. This movie was forbidden because the heroine told her date she was still a virgin. Such intimate revelations weren't allowed then; after all, every unmarried female was supposed to be a virgin, so it was unnecessary to verbalize it. This was also the first movie to use the words "virgin," "seduce" and "mistress," after a long battle with censors.

The '40s and '50s were so puritanical even married people couldn't be shown in bed together in movies, they had to be side-by-side in twin beds, usually with a nightstand separating them. And they could never kiss in bed, unless they were dying and it was obvious they weren't about to have sex.

DRESS CODE

A female had to wear a full slip in a movie, she could never appear in a half-slip and bra. A bare-midriff was shocking! Modesty in dress began to erode in 1946 when the bikini bathing suit was introduced, to loud cries of "obscene." Many parents forbid their daughters to wear such skimpy attire on the beach. Another blow to modesty occurred in 1964 when the mini-skirt came into fashion. This was followed by "hot pants," and then the micro-mini, but nothing shocked the sensibilities of many people as much as the "thong" bathing suit. Once again, loud cries of "obscene," and "it should be banned as immoral," were heard. Some thought it was the end of civilization as we knew it, and it was, compared to the decades before.

FULL FRONTAL NUDITY

Playboy magazine, whose trademark was photographs of nude and semi-nude women, was first published in 1952, featuring Marilyn Monroe on the cover, and photos of her sans clothing inside. There were strident objections that it was immoral and contributed to the demise of refined society.

In the '60s, Elvis' display of gyrating hips while singing, garnered the same reaction.

LIVING IN SIN

Couples didn't openly live together before the so-called "hippie revolution" of the '60s. This arrangement was called "living in sin," or "shacking up," and was considered immoral and disgraceful, and was usually hidden from people.

Lovers who wanted to spend the night together had to get a hotel room, pretending to married. This usually involved getting a dime-store wedding ring and filling a suitcase or two with books or newspapers so as not to arouse the suspicions of the registration clerk.

There were few apartment buildings before the late '50s and most single people who didn't live at home, rented a room or a flat in someone's house. They were never allowed to have overnight visitors of the opposite sex, so those planning to skirt the rules had to be sure their partner left before the homeowner awakened in the morning. Getting caught meant getting evicted.

SINGLE MOTHERS

Pregnant women who were unmarried, were not called "single mothers," but "unwed mothers," and their babies were termed "illegitimate," or even the more crude appellation: "bastards." By the '60s so-called "shotgun weddings," became laughable relics of the past. No longer did parents demand that the man who impregnated their daughter marry her and take financial responsibility for the baby. The father often walked away and the mother went on welfare, often supported by tax dollars. But, during the '60s unwed motherhood came out of the closet, was accepted and became epidemic, even on high-school campuses.

The flower children of the '60s introduced dramatic changes in what was considered permissible behavior. As world events affected people's status and roles, these ideas were paralleled by changes in their concepts of morality.

Rev Up The Romance In Your Relationship

Rev Up The Romance In Your Relationship

Rev Up The Romance In Your Relationship
By Mark Webb

Life is too short not to be romantic. Being romantic will add happiness to your days and years to your life. Romantic people are young at heart and they enjoy a fully mature relationship. Romantic's have greater confidence, demonstrate greater courage, and they make this a better world to live in.

Here is some romance building advice to make your relationship all it can be:

1. Becoming romantic is similar to physically working out. Everybody knows they need to exercise and a lot of people resist it. Everybody knows working out is good for them but many don't like the hassle of it. Regardless of how you feel about working out it is a habit that comes with benefits. These benefits are better health and happiness. The same benefits are yours when you develop your romantic strength. I know tough guys in the gym who are lightweights in the love department. Be strong in both physical and romantic strength.

2. Don't label yourself or your partner as someone who "just isn't romantic." You may respond with, "well, it's the truth." Perhaps it has been but if you ever want to change this you will have to use the old reverse psychology approach. Label yourself and/or your partner as being "romantic". Positive reinforcement has a much better chance than a more discouraging label.

3. Romance is not a chore. Romance is an opportunity. It is one of the best gifts life has to offer. Don't miss out on these blessings. Don't let your friends pollute your mind with any thoughts to the contrary.

4. Strive to be romantic 365 days a year. Who says romance is limited only to Valentine's Day? I and everybody else will feel sorry for your partner if this is the standard you live by. Can you imagine how a change in your daily perspective could make your life so much better? Romantic people have partners who adore them. Romantic people are happier throughout the week, not just on the weekends.

5. Be more playful with your partner. Many men and women give their best self to their career. They come home from working with nothing but the leftovers of themselves. The weekend is spent regrouping for the following week. Sounds like a rat race to me. Get off this treadmill and allow you and the person you love to have some fun. Let your playful, goofy side come out and I promise you will actually be more productive in all areas of your life.

6. Learn from your past mistakes. If something isn't working in your relationship, spend time evaluating why this is so. Don't condemn yourself but learn from your errors. What did you do last Valentine's Day? Was it a success or a flop? What could you have done better? How could you have made your partner feel more special? How about your partner's birthday? Your anniversary? Get the picture? Always strive to improve your efforts. Like mentioned in #1 above, exercise your romantic muscles. Push yourself so that you can do more and more.

7. Utilize your own special talents. You don't have to reinvent the wheel. You have abilities that bring you success. What are they? Are you good at writing, organizing, creating, cooking or building? Simply consider how to apply these talents in the romance department. Since you have these strengths you might as well make the most of them.

8. Don't use gifts and flowers as a way to apologize. Presents should express thoughtfulness, not regret. If you give flowers or presents after you have had an argument or hurt your partner's feelings, you are usually wasting your money. Apologies should be sincere words and the demonstration of repentant actions.

This is your life. Enjoy it. Be creative and have fun. Believe in love and feel the magic that can be yours. Fall in love every day through the power of romance!

5 Ways to Attract the Relationships You Want

5 Ways to Attract the Relationships You Want

5 Ways to Attract the Relationships You Want
By Lori Radun

There has been a time in my life when relationships were a source of great discontentment in my life. I worked around negative people. I didn't have a lot of the kinds of friends I wanted. I was in a marriage that was lonely and filled with conflict. Although today all my relationships are not perfect, I feel blessed with the quality of people in my life. Much has changed and I've learned a lot about how to attract the relationships I want in life.

When you think about relationships, our lives are filled with so many. You may have a spouse whom you share your life with. You probably have children who you interact with on a regular basis. No doubt you have a few friends or maybe many friends. You might be a daughter to a mom and dad, a niece to an aunt or uncle, or a sister to one or more siblings. It's possible that you work or volunteer with people everyday. Are your relationships everything you want them to be? Do they nurture you and fill you up or do they drain your energy, leaving you feeling depleted? If you're like most people, you probably have relationships that do a little of both.

Relationships are essential to our survival and well being. God did not create us to go through life alone. Our relationships teach us more about who we are and who we are not. They highlight what we want in life and what we don't want. Relationships challenge us to grow in ways we might not grow on our own. When you think about your own relationships, I want to encourage you to look at ways you might attract more of what you want from your relationships.

Know What You Want

Do you know exactly what you want in a relationship? Is it the same for every kind of relationship you have? Make a list of the criteria you have for a positive or healthy relationship. Your list might look something like this:

  • The parties must treat each other with respect
  • There needs to be an acceptance and appreciation of each other's differences
  • Each person should know how to resolve issues without fighting or arguing
  • The relationships should provide an emotional connection
  • We should work together in a way that is fair for all parties involved
  • We should support and encourage one another
  • There needs to be openness and honesty with thoughts and feelings
  • We need to be able to laugh and have fun together

Now you can look at each of your relationships and decide if it meets your requirements. If not, you have a starting point for creating what you want. All of us, at any time, have five choices regarding our relationships. We can accept the relationship the way it is and be happy. We can remain a victim to the relationship. We can change the relationship. We can change our perspective of the relationship. We can leave the relationship.

Change Your Beliefs about What You Deserve

If you want the best relationships have to offer, you have to believe you deserve the best. Otherwise, you will settle for less than the best. At your core, what do you believe about relationships and people? Some limiting beliefs might be:

  • All marriage partners fight.
  • Most people in corporate America are negative.
  • You have to be careful about who you trust.
  • Most people are in a relationship for themselves.
  • There are no good guys or good gals left - they're all married.

Whatever you believe, you will attract. So start believing what you want is truly possible.

Be Who Your Ideal Is

In my workshops, I tell women that if they want to attract inspiring friends, they must be an inspiring friend. We are energetic human beings, and like energy attracts like energy. The other day a woman shared a story about lunchtime at her place of business. All the co-workers would sit around in the lunchroom eating their lunches. One person would start to complain about the company or her job, and then the next person would chime in. Before you know it, a gripe session had begun. This woman told me that she found herself not being who she wanted to be, and instead joining the negativity with the rest of the crowd. Go back to your criteria for a positive and healthy relationship, and be all of those characteristics in your relationships. You will be a leader and force of change in your own life.

Stop the Ugly Dance

In the most intimate relationships, we often engage in the ugly dance. Our partner, or someone we're very close to, will say something that triggers us. From our subconscious mind, we react, and the dance begins. This happened to me the other day when I was talking to my mom. She said to me, "This year I am not going to go all out for Christmas because my kids don't appreciate it." There was the bait. In the past, this fish (me) would have taken a bite of that bait, but not this time. I stopped what could have been an ugly dance. I refrained from defending myself and telling her that she was wrong. I let my mom have her feelings while I just listened and politely changed the subject. Every person that comes into a relationship, including ourselves, has some emotional baggage we carry with us. Drop the luggage and stop the ugly dance.

Create a Sacred Space

Michael Port, renowned business coach and author of "Book Yourself Solid", talks about having a red velvet rope policy in your business. I like to use that policy in my life. Imagine you are entering a high quality event like an opera or The Grammy Awards ceremony. You walk up to the attendant and hand him your high priced ticket and he opens the red velvet rope to let you through. Pretend your life is that high quality event and you get to decide who enters that sacred space. One of my friends is a very inspiring person. A lot of people want to enter her sacred space, but only a few get past the red velvet rope. Is it because she is mean? No, it is because she understands the importance of protecting her energy and keeping her life positive. Who gets to enter your sacred space?

Positive and high energy relationships will add more to your life than you can imagine. So start today and attract exactly what you want from your relationships. Your life will be forever blessed with peace, happiness and fulfillment.

How to Meet a Sugar Daddy at Work

How to Meet a Sugar Daddy at Work

How to Meet a Sugar Daddy at Work
By Sylvie Day

Meeting a sugar daddy at work has nothing to do with the people you work with. Absolutely, not! The men you meet while at work are your customers. The best jobs for meeting potential sugar daddies are: waitress or hostess at an upscale restaurant or one close to your city's financial district, customer service or personal shopper at an upscale retailer, flight attendant, and as an administrative assistant for a law firm or financial institution. Don't forget, you can also meet a potential sugar daddy as a real estate agent, broker, or attorney.

In all of the jobs listed above, as well as in many other positions not mentioned, you will come face to face with potential sugar daddies nearly every day. If you currently have a position that puts you directly in the path of so many sugar daddies, take advantage of it! If you don't, and are in a position to change jobs...go for it.

When you see a man alone he will be much more approachable and receptive. All you really have to do is smile and be extra attentive. Men love the attention of a beautiful woman. Compliment his tie or his suit. Be subtly aggressive and let him know you're available. Before you know it, your date book could be filled with invitations from potential sugar daddies. Getting a man's business card and him telling you to call him is like being handed the winning lottery ticket. Don't be shy about calling him. If you do, you may miss the opportunity you've been looking for.

Is It Difficult To Have A Background Investigation?

Is It Difficult To Have A Background Investigation?
By Hanna Delloway

We are not your biological parents

It was Helen's 21st birthday when her Mom and Dad opened the truth to her. They were not her biological parents. In fact they adopted her when she was only two years old. Helen could not believe at first: she always treated her mother and father as her real parents. She loved and respected them greatly. And knowing the truth came as a kind of shock to her! For a while she had even a thought that she would not able to treat them as she used to. The relationships seemed spoiled for her forever.

I'd like to find my real parents

Luckily, she coped with the stress of this knowledge because she loved and cared for Mom and Dad who raised her. Indeed, they were great people and brought up the girl as if she was their real child. The difference in genes did not matter for them much. Although Helen accepted the fact of being adopted, she could not feel calm until she found her biological mother and father.

I don't have the full information

The desire seemed unrealizable because all information her Mom and Dad knew about her real parents was their first and last names and their home address. But mind that the information was out of date already because almost 20 years passed. They could simply move away from their home place or even change their names.

I tried different places

The first place the girl turned to was the agency of her adoption. But trouble was that it could not provide Helen with information she needed. "We can't give out the secrets of our clients. Just for the sake of their safety." That was the answer of the adoption agency worker. Helen tried to look up in the phone and address book and even in the internet. But it was also in vain. The sources contained irrelevant information. The database was tiny and, of course, didn't have the names of her biological parents.

But what helped me was the internet

Eventually, one friend of Helen got to know about her problem and helped her much by giving the name of one single web site. It was people search site that contained all background information on any person. So Helen had one more try to find her parents. The result overcame her expectations. In some minutes the search web site provided all the information on her birth records. She learned the new address of her biological parents, met them, got acquainted with them and now they stay in touch.

Background investigation, or find your real parents! If you want to learn the truth about your real background, you can use the internet.
