A compatible relationship is what most people strive
for, and it's always nice to hear about a happy couple
in a fulfilling relationship.

People wanting to get married would be smart to
seriously consider the following questions:
What do you seek through marriage? A ceremony to
declare your love and a chance to get together with
family and loved ones? Romantic partnership
permanence? Do you hope it will add something to
your connection that you feel is absent at this time?

Marriage was originally intended for practical and
economic reasons. People could not survive unless
they pooled their skills and resources. Due in part by
romantic fantasy perpetrated by movies and fairy
tales, marriage today includes unrealistic expectations
such as being someone's "everything" for life.
Surprisingly, even with the high divorce rates, this
tradition is still a popular choice.

Some say it's because you need marriage for kids, or
that marriage is about commitment. But you can be
responsible parents or commit to each other without a
marriage license.

Those who oppose marriage contend that legally
binding agreements, in an attempt to cement
relationships, primarily reflect fear and a lack of
trust and are more about money than love.

There is no level of compatibility "good enough" for
marriage, because two individuals who are very
compatible now may not be in ten years. Furthermore,
marriage is just a legal construct that has nothing to do
with unconditional love, which is what many claim to
marry for. By unconditional love, we're referring to a
lack of conditions such as "If you do this for me, I'll do
that for you."

Ideally, marriage would be completely about
unconditional love. It wouldn't be like modern
marriage is today.

There would be no unhappiness about a partner not
doing what they are expected to do financially, there
would be no disputes about having to spend time with
the partner's friends and family, and there would be a
lack of expectations in the bedroom, just to name a few.

As we have constantly found in our work, most
relationships have time limits, as do friendships and
business associations. Sound unromantic? Truth isn't
always romantic, but embracing it will save you a lot
of heartache. You don't have to physically leave a
relationship for it to be over, as many married couples
will tell you if they are brutally honest. Additionally,
children know when their parents are unhappy and
all too often the parents end up setting a bad example
relating to complacency and deceit.

How can you tell if a romantic connection has seen
better days? A few examples include the following: all
attempts at spicing up the bond fall flat; one or both
partners become increasingly interested dating other
people; sex becomes routine and boring or nonexistent;
the sexual attraction fades significantly or disappears; one
or both feel as if they have learned as much as they were
supposed to learn; and it simply doesn't feel right to stay
together.

Life-long, satisfying monogamy is desired by many,
but is it natural or realistic? Some couples completely
lose interest in sex with each other and settle for
companionship or are willing to make great sacrifices
and be unhappy in order to avoid ending their relationship,
but more and more couples are accepting that most
relationships are not meant to last forever.

In our view, love relationships serve primarily as
grounds for shared spiritual lessons and goals, rather
than the currently accepted, outdated, fear-based
sociological standard as outlined above. Many norms
in society will be seen as absurd by future generations,
and we expect that traditional marriage will be one of
them.

An aside, for those who desire to deepen their
understanding of their partner (especially before
getting married), compatibility analyses involving
psychic insight, comprehensive astrology, numerology,
and graphology outlining key challenges and rewards is
a great way to open the door to more love.

We recommend to those considering marriage to
communicate with their partner about commitment,
and discuss feelings about money, children, relatives,
friends, etc. But don't expect or even hope that the
love would be permanent if you got married, since no
couple is compatible enough to meet and exceed the
present day expectations of marriage.

"Getting married to make a relationship permanent is
like buying a summer home to make summer last forever."

When do the lines between love and friendship become wavy? Is there a period when love and friendship begin to merge? What are some of the signs that your friend may want something more? What to do when graduating between love and friendship?

There have many examples of a relationship beginning as nothing more than a friendship, only to wind up as something much more. This is actually perfectly natural as most marriages should be based on friendship as they are more likely to be successful in the long run. However, when the lines between love and friendship begin to blur, it can be confusing. Keep reading for tips on how to tell when love and friendship start to co-mingle.

Comments

Often our friends are the first ones to see a sign of romance. One sign that a friend may need to be something more is if your friends start to make comments about how cute the two of you would be as a couple. It is very possible that they may have picked up on little looks or smiles that the two of you are subconsciously giving each other.

Random Phone Calls

If the guy you have been friends with for a while all of a sudden begins making late night phone calls, he may be ready for a more romantic relationship with you. In addition, pay attention to what you talk about on these calls. If they last a while and you discuss your day, then it is a clear sign that the nature of the relationship may soon change.

Pet Names

Friendship can often become love when the two of you begin to develop pet names for each other. This can take place when you go from calling each other by name and replace them with such things as Sweetie or Babe. In addition, if these names don't make things awkward between the two of you, it may be time to take the friendship to the next level. If you also find your heart melting whenever he uses one of these pet names, you are more than ready for a romantic relationship with your friend.

Touching Increases

It is common to give your friend a pat on the back or on the arm, but when those pats start to linger a little bit more, it could be a sign that there is something more than just friendship between the two of you. In addition, if the high fives have now moved on to gentle hand holding, that is another sign that the romantic feelings are beginning to build. Also look for hugging and a gentle kiss on the forehead or cheek as signs that your friendship is about to take a different turn.

Spending Time Together

You may also be ready for more than just friendship when the two of you begin pairing off when in a group environment. While it is natural to lean toward one person, if you find yourself doing it time and time again, you may subconsciously attracted to him and it may be time to act on those feelings.

If you are affected in your dating relationship changes, the handwriting is already on the wall. A break will not be by blue to. It is in your best interest to learn to read, which are for a break up position as 3 characters. Then decide whether it is appropriate to split or rescue your dating relationship.

What are 3 warning signs of a looming break?

1. Troubleshooting

Is your romantic partner are looking for new reasons to criticize you?
They are history rewrite or the blame for things that happened before or now?
They fought rarely, and now they are a struggle, especially over small things often collect?
They will take all your differences in life experience or values?
They make you feel you not everything right?

To find bugs in your romantic partner is what many of us do to justify, to leave a relationship. If your partner is invention errors that does not fit your profile, they are likely to do so until they conjure up reasons to leave. Often, it is because they are (overlapping) relations of delivery and they want you.

(2) Separate

Your partner is too busy at work, for meals or during waking hours to see you.
You make time for other personal items, except for you.
You are stressed also in the mood for sex (with you).
Your partner can't wait days for answering your emails or calls.
Their calls are impersonal and much rarer.
You never talk about your feelings or plans for the future, because your date cringes when you install these themes.

If your romantic partner has disconnected from you, you can stick to a unilateral relationship.

3. Always a dating makeover

Is your romantic partner routines change their exercise in great shape to, and without you in fitness tours?
They are whitening their teeth, their hair to die or SOAP on youth creams without regarding how their new look?

They are new clothes or underwear for special occasions no special buy yet you do not have any plans?

This means that their emotional pockets can be packed. So you not be surprised, if they leave you.

They should let them go or to save your relationship?

Once you see all the signs of a broken connection, questions you, why would you someone love, no love is not displayed for you?

If you are just dating, you have not marriage vows to honor. No children together. No expensive divorce to fight battles or to divide property.

You have fear of being alone? Can't find someone as attractive, successful, or your current romantic partner illusive?

Now questions you are, how things apart fell. What was your role in the separation? You accept so that you do not repeat it in a new relationship or whether/when you repair them.

Now questions to save yourself if you have a strong desire to revive loving liaison and your relationship.

If you do, then you install all of these questions in a calm, private conversation with your romantic partner. They will know if they are ready to go if they feel standing in conflict, or if you want to align your dating relationship by their reaction.

Wouldn't life be easier if all men were candid and direct about what they are feeling? If you're in a dating relationship you may spend hours trying to figure out exactly what is going on in the heart and the head of your boyfriend. Once a woman starts to feel that she's falling in love with a man she wants nothing more than to hear him say those three little words. If the man you are dating isn't about to start telling you how he feels is there a way you can tell by his actions? There is. There are a few telltale signs your boyfriend loves you that indicate that he's as crazy about you as you are about him.

If he always wants to be with you, that's one of the signs that your boyfriend loves you. Obviously he's going to have some responsibilities that he can't neglect, but aside from those think about how much of his free time he's devoting to you. If you're involved with a man who is constantly making excuses for why he can't be with you, that's not promising at all. A man in love can't get enough of the woman he's crazy about. If he wants to see you often and he's calling regularly just to hear your voice, he's hooked. There's no question about it.

Does your boyfriend want to make your life easier in every way possible? Does he go out of his way to do small things that he knows you enjoy? If he does, that's one of the clear signs that your boyfriend loves you. Although we're all taught to be independent, it's enjoyable and touching when the man in our lives takes care of things for us. Anything from making you coffee in the morning to helping fix a leaky faucet are all things that a man in love will be happy to do for the object of his affection. If your boyfriend doesn't seem terribly concerned with making your life easier, that's not a sign that he cares deeply for you.

Specific things you say and do can make a man feel helplessly drawn to you. If you are convinced he is the one there are things you can do to ensure he only has eyes for you.

You don't have to leave love to fate or chance. If you are tired of waiting for him to fall hopelessly in love, there are things you can do to make it happen now. Find out right now what you need to do to capture his heart forever.

You have taken the step of setting up an online dating account on a quality dating website, and have been meeting new people for a few months now. Then, you meet a person who seems like they could be more than just another online friend. You start to spend more time emailing him/her. You talk to them on the phone. You begin to ponder meeting him or her in person. The question is, will this relationship be successful? What are some signs of a good online dating relationship?

1. You have a lot to talk about. Did you ever go on an internet chat board or talk on the phone with someone, and after awhile you just didn't know what to say? Did the conversation ever start to drag? Were there long pauses in between sentences, where you desparately tried to think of something to chat about? These are obviously not signs of a great relationship. A great relationship is characterized by endless conversation -- two people who never seem to run out of things to tell each other.

2. You have a lot of common interests. This does not mean you have to like all of the same things. For instance, a guy may love sports, while a girl loves shopping or her pets. But their deeper interests and values such as spirituality, love of children, and who they hope to become in ten or twenty years should be weaving a common thread together.

3. You think about each other a lot. Even when you're at work or at the gym or walking outside, you won't be able to get that person out of your mind. You will look forward to that nightly conversation or imagine the day you will meet him/her in person. Now, I am not talking about abnormal obsessing about someone, just normal thinking about a person who seems special to you.

These are just three signs that your dating relationship is headed in the right direction. For more information see www.christian-online-dating-guide.com Remember, even if you haven't met the right person yet, it could happen any time.

When you're raising a child or children by yourself without the support of their father, it's easy to see how a single mom can long for a man to be a part of her life. Unfortunately, sometimes our desires can lead us to make illogical choices just to end our loneliness. Satisfying our needs by settling for men, who are less than wonderful, will only hurt us and our children. Try to be on the look out for men who exhibit any of the following signs. If you meet him, run away...

He has no contact with his children from a previous marriage and/or relationship. He may or may not tell you he pays child support, but based on the time you spend together, it should be obvious whether he actually sees his children on a regular basis - much less has a "fatherly" relationship with them.
He shows no interest in your child or children. If he comes across this way in the beginning, chances are his behavior will not change. Not only do you not deserve a man who ignores your son or daughter, your children, more than anyone, should not have to deal with anyone who does not treat them properly (particularly when their mom is the person who introduces this new adult into their lives...) Think about it...
He does not call when he says he will. He does not listen to you when you tell him your schedule and/or plans for the afternoon/evening or weekend with your child. He shows up when you're not expecting him and he fails to be there when you think he should be. (Or worse yet when he's told your child he would be there...)
He is selfish with his time. He is not willing to change his own schedule in any way to accommodate your needs (and very real availability) as a single mother.
He treats you poorly in front of your children. (Even if he only treats you badly when you're alone, you still should not consider him a candidate for a lasting, meaningful relationship.) But if he so much as speaks to you negatively, much less acts physically violent to you, when your child is around, you should run for your life basically... Children are like sponges. They absorb everything around them. If they see a man treating their mommy with disrespect, cruelty, aggression or anger, they may learn that this type of behavior is okay. Your children may also become upset with you for allowing anyone to treat you this way.
He tries to compete with your children. He may almost demand that you view him as more important than your child. If he demonstrates in any way that he believes you should make your child a secondary priority to him, you need to get him out of your life and away from your children. Single mothers do not NEED a man in their life. However, if we choose to have a man around, he needs to be supportive of us and our children, good to us and our kids, and he needs to try to understand our unique situation as a single mom.
He does not talk to and/or visit his own mother regularly. No matter how he tries to explain away the lack of contact with his mom to you, you must be strong enough and smart enough to truly evaluate the circumstances. Typically a man who fails to maintain some type of positive relationship with his mother, is a man you who will eventually treat you as horribly as he treats his own mom or worse...
