Some breakups are worse than others. When romance goes south over something big, at least it makes sense. But when things tank without obvious explanation, the lack of resolution is particularly upsetting. There’s one really common relationship mistake that almost everyone has made at some point. According to Divorce Magazine (I swear I’m not making that up), this common mistake is one of the leading causes of divorce. [1] And yet, it’s so subtle, you might not even think of it as a mistake . Would you like to know what it is and how to avoid it? Imagine this scenario. Your guy meets you for dinner with a spring in his step. He’s in a good mood. You ask what’s up and he tells you about something good that happened in his day. He’s clearly excited about it, but the good news doesn’t really interest you. Maybe his favorite team won, but you don’t like sports. Or he had a really good workout, but you don’t see why that something to get pumped up about. How do you respond? The answer to t...

Do you feel irritated by the actions of others, perhaps a spouse, a partner, a friend, colleague, or a family member? Are their habits bothering you? Now, after the success of your manifestation and using the Law Of Attraction (LOA) to live the life that you desire, you probably think if you can manifest a change in someone’s behaviors… The answer here is:  YOU CAN’T. BUT, you can INFLUENCE it. You can’t directly change someone else’s behaviors but you can influence their actions by how you think and act. How? Let’s say your partner has changed—he or she is no longer that affectionate compared in the past. After many times of communicating this with your beau, nothing’s changed still. As this leaves you frustrated and your mind is getting filled with negative thoughts about your partner. Keep in mind that your thoughts can manifest easily because you are too consumed with negative thoughts about your partner. So, one tiny thing that your partner does can set you off and lead to an...

Lots of things matter in life. Your career. Your health. Your finances. But nothing matters quite as much as your relationships.  What's the fun of "succeeding" if there's no one there to celebrate it with you? Even something as simple as a beautiful sunset loses much of its significance if there's no one by your side to enjoy it with you.  The man you love could be standing right in front of you, but you simply don't know how to win his heart. Or problems rob your relationship of momentum before it can become what it was meant to be.  How To Build Relationship Momentum Fast Momentum matters. Your relationship needs forward momentum. Without it you feel stuck in the mud. Like a race car with tons of horsepower but tires that spin uselessly in a muddy ditch But with momentum everything changes.

Should you stick with a difficult relationship? It’s a question that divides a lot of people. (Ask it on a first date, and you’ll learn a lot about him.) Some believe relationships should be easy. If you’re struggling, it’s because there’s something wrong. You’re not a good match. Others believe that all relationships end up being difficult. It’s the nature of the beast. You have to work at it. The truth, as always, is somewhere in between. No relationship is smooth sailing 100% of the time. Life insures that. Even if two people are perfectly suited to each other, life has a way of throwing curveballs. Stuff happens. People take out stress on those they love the most. But, clearly, some relationships don’t work, and a sense of difficulty is one of the first signs. The relationship drains energy instead of restoring it. It feels limiting instead of an enhancement to your quality of life.   How do you know whether the difficulties in your relationship are natural, or w...

With the right triggers, both men and women are designed to fall in love. We are literally hardwired to fall in love. We are not meant to be alone. How can you amplify the natural triggers that cause romantic attraction? These triggers could cause a couple to leap forward to deeper levels of intimacy and commitment. Sparking a new level of intimacy that could only be called "true love." A selfless way of loving that was absolutely beautiful. The Strangest Thing Men Desire It's okay if you want an amazing relationship with a man. It's okay if you refuse to settle for a lukewarm relationship.But if you're going to go all out, and really build a beautiful relationship, you need to share that dream with the man you invite into your life. And to do a good job of inviting him, you have to understand what's enticing about a relationship from a man's perspective. In fact, you'll want to interact with him in a way that feels almost like a proposal. And here...

“Don’t do it!” they’ll tell you. “You’ll find someone. You just haven’t met the right one yet.” It’s nice that they’re so concerned about you. But you’re not sure if their concern is warranted. After all, giving up on love feels like such a relief. No more worrying about what men think. No more worrying about whether you’re good enough. If you tell your girlfriends you’re giving up on love, they’ll rush to hug and reassure you. No more pressure to spend precious leisure time on dating.  If people ask you why you’re still single, you can answer honestly: “ I’m not looking for anyone right now .” Words that taste like freedom. It’s Okay to Take a Break… Some people give up on love because they’ve had their heart broken. They don’t know if they can go through it again. Despite what your friends say, it can be enormously healing to take a break from love. It gives you time to focus on yourself and remember how much you enjoy your own company. There’s nothing wrong with wantin...

  “Ow! You stepped on my foot!”  Caitlin pushed her boyfriend away. “Well, you shouldn’t have been standing behind me!” Drake turned to face Caitlin, who was hunched over clutching her foot. “I was standing there because I was trying to help you,” she said, exasperated. “I don’t need your help.” He turned his back to her and walked away, scrolling furiously on his phone. Caitlin watched him go. Her foot was throbbing, but that wasn’t what was causing the dampness in her eyes. This  always  happened. They fought over the stupidest things. And instead of apologizing, Drake just walked away. She didn’t know if she could take it anymore. She knew Drake loved her, but his actions hurt her. In An Ideal World Imagine this… Every time your guy hurt you, he would say: “I made a mistake. I’m sorry.” And he would give you a kiss and a hug to make up for it. Sound impossible? That’s not surprising! We’re really, REALLY bad at apologizing. Clinical psychologist Dr. Josh Gressel j...

  Alaya remembered when she first started dating her husband.  She had to leave for a week on a trip, and he did the most romantic thing. He loaded up his iPod with a special playlist and sent it with her. She never forgot the song that opened the playlist. It was a man singing about his fear of letting down the woman he loved. “I believed, from that day on, that his goal in his relationship with me was to live up to the man he knew he could be,” she said. “It gave me great comfort. I trusted him, because I knew he was going to do his best to never let me down.” Years passed. They got married. Things changed. They moved, and Alaya’s husband had a hard time finding work in his field. They had their first child, and money was tight. The man she’d married had been optimistic, loving, and dedicated to being a better man. But now he was sarcastic, sometimes bitter, and increasingly selfish. “I talked about doing date nights, but he said he was too tired. He would make jokes about f...
