Basic Fundamentals of a Successful Marriage

By Tomira L. Rosser A successful marriage is not impossible to attain. There are thousands of couples that have been successfully married for decades. Do they have some great secret that no one else has? No, they have learned the basic fundamentals of marriage and these fundamentals have led them to a successful marriage. Here is a list of ten tips that will help you achieve or maintain a successful marriage. Support – You have to support one another. Without support, the relationship will fall apart. Tolerance – Tolerance is a big thing. If you cannot be tolerant of each other... there will be major problems. Communication – Communication is a must. Whether it is a problem, a happy thought, or anything on your mind, it must be relayed to your partner. Realistic expectations – Don’t be unrealistic. No one is perfect and neither are you. The sooner both of you realize this, the better. Sense of humor – You have to have a sense of humor. Even if it is a small one, everything can be funny at some time. Respect – If you don’t respect each other, then there is no need to be together. You have to respect each other’s opinions, beliefs, views, and wants. Problem solve together – Work on things together. Start with small problems like fixing the kitchen sink; it will help you work together when a serious problem arises. Enjoy one another – You have to enjoy one another’s company. Do this by doing small things such as cooking dinner for each other, doing each others work, and other things that make a small impression. The more this is done, the more enjoyable everything will be. Have fun together – Do anything that gets both of your minds off of problems in your life. Go to the beach, go running, and go on vacation. If you can get away from everything once in a while, it will remind you how much you mean to each other. These are just a few tips that will help you achieve a successful marriage. If you try these in small steps, they will take on bigger steps on their own. Don’t try to do everything at one time, because it will not work and you will end up discouraged and frustrated. This article was written by Tomira L. Rosser of CreativePenz Copywriting Services.

How To Set Up A Freshwater Fish Aquarium

By Keith Londrie Equipment you will need: Aquarium, Aquarium gravel, Aquarium filter, Replacement filter media, Heater, Other decorations (such as fake or real plants), Aquarium test kits to test water parameters and monitor the infamous aquarium nitrogen cycle, Fish food, Aquarium vacuum, Fish net, Aquarium Glass Scrubber, 5-gallon bucket, Pasta strainer, Realize the responsibility involved. Learning how to set up a fish tank is not all that difficult, but there are some steps you should follow. First, you must realize a few things about an aquarium setup. A tropical fish tank is just like having a dog or a cat when it comes to the amount of effort on your part. In order to have a successful freshwater tropical fish tank you will have to work at it. Once a week, or at most once every two weeks, you will need to perform some kind of maintenance on the tank. Most of the time you will be performing water changes. You will also have to feed your fish at least once a day. If you are up to the challenge, please proceed! Decide on an aquarium size. It's a good idea to have in mind what kind of fish you want to keep before you purchase an aquarium. Some fish only grow to be an inch or two, whereas other types of tropical fish can grow 12 or 13 inches or more in length! Knowing what kind of fish you want will help you decide the size of the tank they will need. If this is your first time with an aquarium, it may be a good idea to start with a 10 or 20 gallon aquarium setup for now and stock it with some smaller and hardier species. Decide on the aquarium's location. Place your aquarium in an area where the light and temperature of the tank won't be affected by external sources such as windows and heater vents. Sunlight that enters the room through an unshaded window could affect the temperature of your tank. This could also lead to green algae problems for your tank down the road. You will want to place your aquarium on a stand that will be able to hold its total weight. You also want to be sure that the floor is able to support the total weight of the aquarium and stand. A good rule of thumb for determining the total weight of a full aquarium is 10 pounds per gallon of water. For example, a 55-gallon tank will weigh approximately 550 pounds when filled with water! Buy your aquarium and equipment. Now is a good time to decide on the type of aquarium filter you will want to use. You will also need to purchase a heater capable of heating the tank size you have. Buy the gravel, plants, a power strip and other decorations. A good rule of thumb for the amount of gravel that you will need is 1 to 1.5 pounds of gravel per gallon of water. Set up your aquarium and stand. Wash out your tank with water only! Do not use soap or detergents. Soap residue left behind will be harmful for your tropical fish. If you are going to use an under gravel filter (not recommended) now would be the time to set it up as well. Wash Gravel, plants and decorations. Be sure to wash the gravel thoroughly before adding it to your tank. An easy way to do this is to put some of the rocks in a pasta strainer and wash them out in your bath tub. Then place the clean gravel in a clean 5-gallon bucket for transport to the aquarium. After adding the gravel you can place your plants and decorations. Add water to the aquarium. To avoid messing up your gravel and plants, you can place a plate or saucer in the middle of your aquarium and direct the water flow onto the plate. Use room temperature water when filling. To remove the chlorine and chloramine, use something like Tetra AquaSafe for Aquariums. Don't completely fill up the aquarium until you are sure of the layout of your decorations. Otherwise, when you place your arm in to move stuff around water is going to spill over. Doh! Set up equipment. Install your heater but don't plug it in until the thermostat in the heater has adjusted to the water temperature. This usually takes about 15 minutes or so. Hook up your filter and any other equipment you have, then top off the aquarium water to just under the hood lip. Place your hood and tank light on the aquarium and then check your power cords to be sure that they are free of water. I would also recommend using a drip loop on all of the power cords to be extra cautious. For more information on safety, read this great article on aquarium electrical safety. Plug all of the equipment into a power strip and then "turn on" the aquarium. Wait, wait, wait and then wait some more. I know, you want to add some fish. But, in order to do this right you must wait until your aquarium has cycled before adding any fish. There are ways of speeding up this process. Check out the nitrogen cycle to learn more about starting the nitrogen cycle and how to speed it up. If you must use fish to cycle, try to get a hardier species like the zebra danio or cherry barb. You may notice your fish tank cycle kicking in gear if you start to get some white cloudy aquarium water after a few days. Add tropical fish. Only add one or two fish at a time. Adding a couple fish at a time gives your filtration system the time needed to take on the increased biological load that the new fish introduce. When you bring the fish home let the bag float in the tank for about 15 minutes so that the fish can become acclimated to the temperature and pH of the aquarium water. After 5 minutes of floating the bag you should add some of the aquarium water to the bag so that the fish can become acclimated to the pH level in the aquarium. This will help reduce the amount of stress imposed on the fish. Stressed fish often leads to dead or diseased fish! Don't feed your fish on the first day. They probably wouldn't eat any food on the first day anyway. Let them get acquainted with their new home. Get ready for regular maintenance. Be prepared to spend some time once every week or two to clean your tank. Performing regular water changes will reduce the nitrate levels and keep your tropical fish happy and healthy. As you can see, the steps for how to set up a fish tank are not that complex and hopefully you now have your aquarium setup and running! Have fun, take care of and enjoy your fish!

Sins and the REAL Demons

By Robert Baird We all must know that the Catholic Church has used fear of demons and so-called sin to make a great deal of their power. I hope to illustrate the inner workings of the separation of church and state that is not a reality and that the state uses the same techniques. In the words of the deservedly respected historians Will and Ariel Durant we visit with the technocrats of the Jesuit Order who John Ralston Saul holds up as the forerunners of the lobbyists and other courtesans of this present enlightened age. The quotation from Rousseau and Revolution does not elucidate the agreement Charles of Spain made before giving the Jesuits he expelled from Spain a small stipend. That agreement called for silence on the matters relating to their attempts to inform the people of his true nature. But during this silent period I suggest there were some Jesuits like Adam Weishaupt who decided enough was enough. It is this moment in history that we find a significant change in the world took place. America was created in the same year the Illuminati were re-organized and Russia celebrated the founding day of these Illuminati in their May Day celebration. Various accounts say they intended to have him killed and the truth may never be known because the rest of the Catholic world allowed these hundreds of good Catholics to nearly die on a boat going from port to port seeking refuge. This was (as you will see) a time when muggers and crooks were given 'sanctuary' in the churches. Gregory of Tours in an earlier time notes how this 'sanctuary' often led to the priests making money from charging the supposed crook or the parties wishing to kill them through secret agreements. The Jesuits so expelled lived a miserable existence on a meager pension but kept their mouths shut because if even one talked all would lose their pension. In short there really is no mystery here at all - but it does dovetail with the possibilities of why we are seldom allowed to hear what really went on in the annals of what we improperly call history. "II. POPES, KINGS, AND JESUITS The power of the Catholic Church rested on the natural super-naturalism of mankind, the recognition and sublimation of sensual impulses and pagan survivals, the encouragement of Catholic fertility {Read baby-factories and 'barefoot in the kitchen' .}, and the inculcation of a theology rich in poetry and hope, and useful to moral discipline and social order. In Italy the Church was also the main source of national income, and a valued check upon a people especially superstitious, pagan, and passionate. Superstitions abounded; as late as 1787 witches were burned at Palermo--and refreshments were served to fashionable ladies witnessing the scene. (2) Pagan beliefs, customs, and ceremonies survived with the genial sanction of the Church. 'I have arrived at a vivid conviction,' wrote Goethe, 'that all traces of original Christianity are extinct here' in Rome. (3) There were, however, many real Christians left in Christendom, even in Italy. Conte Caissotti di Chiusano, bishop of Asti, gave up his rich inheritance, lived in voluntary poverty, and traveled only on foot. Bishop Testa of Monreale slept on straw, ate only enough to subsist, kept only 3,000 lire of his revenues for his personal needs, and devoted the remainder to public works and the poor. (4) {But the majority of prelates were not so inclined as they engaged in concubinage and fathering children of the parishioners wives as the church owned the majority of farms and land throughout Italy while collecting alms for the poor. The bulk of church wealth comes from guilt and estates where upon death promises of salvation are tied to a good deed by giving the wealth to the church rather than the justly deserving heirs.} The Church responded in some measure to the Enlightenment. The works of Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot, Helvtius, d'Holbach, La Mettrie, and other freethinkers were of course placed on the Index Expurgatorius, but permission to read them might be obtained from the pope. {This is a perfect example of what we said about practicing one thing while excluding others access to what works. The pope also became promoted as a source of the right to learn. Is this like the situation we have in public education before reaching university?} Monsignor Ventimiglio, bishop (1757-73) of Catania, had in his library full editions of Voltaire, Helvetius, and Rousseau. The Inquisition was abolished in Tuscany and Parma in 1769, in Sicily in 1782, in Rome in 1809. {Witches were still outlawed no doubt. It took until 1951 to rescind the laws against being a witch in England. There are movements afoot to re-institute blasphemy laws.} In 1783 a Catholic priest, Tamburini, under the name of his friend Trauttmansdorff, published an essay On Ecclesiastical and Civil Toleration, in which he condemned the Inquisition, declared all coercion of conscience to be un-Christian, and advocated toleration of all theologies except atheism. (5) It was the misfortune of the popes, in this second half of the eighteenth century, that they had to face the demand of Catholic monarchs for the total dissolution of the Society of Jesus. The movement against the Jesuits was part of a contest of power between the triumphant nationalism of the modern state and the internationalism of a papacy weakened by the Reformation, the Enlightenment, and the rise of the business class. {Cardinal Biffi of Bologna thinks there is an anti-Christ among us today who is a philanthropist of great wealth. This anti-Christ supports ecological, animal - and women's right while destroying the tenets of Catholicism. Biffi was a leading contender to take John Paul II's place from the conservative faction of this supranational elite. Apparently this anti-Christ is well versed in the Bible and maybe even a better Christian than Biffi, as I see it.} The Catholic enemies of the Society did not openly press their chief objection, that it had persistently upheld the authority of the popes as superior to that of kings, but they were keenly resentful that an organization acknowledging no superior except its general and the pope should in effect constitute, within each state, an agent of foreign power. They acknowledged the learning and piety of the Jesuits, {Were they jealous of their 'brothers' who actually knew more?} their contributions to science, literature, philosophy, and art, their sedulous and efficient education of Catholic youth, their heroism on foreign missions, their recapture of so much territory once lost to Protestantism. But they charged that the Society had repeatedly interfered in secular affairs, that it had engaged in commerce to reap material gains, that it had inculcated casuistic principles excusing immorality and crime, condoning even the murder of kings, that it had allowed heathen customs and beliefs to survive among its supposed converts in Asia, and that it had offended other religious orders, and many of the secular clergy, by its sharpness in controversy and its contemptuous tone. The ambassadors of the Kings of Portugal, Spain, Naples, and France insisted that the papal charter of the Society be revoked, and that the organization be officially and universally dissolved. The expulsion of the Jesuits from Portugal in 1759, from France in 1764-67, from Spain and Naples in 1767, had left the Society still operative in Central and North Italy, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in Catholic Germany, Silesia, and Poland. On February 7, 1768, they were expelled from the Bourbon duchy of Parma, and were added to the congestion of Jesuit refugees in the states of the Church. Pope Clement XIII protested that Parma was a papal fief; he threatened Duke Ferdinand VI and his ministers with excommunication of the edict of expulsion should be enforced {But Hitler, or should I say Schicklgruber/Rothschild, was never excommunicated and probably not even threatened. Why?!}; when they persisted he launched a bull declaring the rank and title of the Duke forfeited and annulled. The Catholic governments of Spain, Naples, and France opened war upon the papacy: {One of my ancestors was Miles Keogh who fought with the Vatican Army before his horse was the only survivor of Custer's Last Stand at the Little Big Horn. Many people have a hard time thinking of a supranational theological armed superpower in so recent a time. I suspect he became a Martinist when he was engaged to a Martin of political importance.} Tanucci seized the papal cities of Benevento and Pontecorvo, and France occupied Avignon. On December 10 1768, the French ambassador at Rome, in the name of France, Naples, and Spain, presented to the Pope a demand for the retraction of the bull against Parma, and for the abolition of the Society of Jesus. The seventy-six-year-old pontiff collapsed under the strain of this ultimatum. He summoned for February 3, 1769, a consistory of prelates and envoys to consider the matter. On February 2 he fell dead through the bursting of a blood vessel in his brain. The cardinals who were called to choose his successor were divided into two factions: 'zelanti' who proposed to defy the kings, and 'regalisti' who favored some pacific accommodations. As the Italian cardinals were almost all 'zelanti', and soon gathered in Rome, they tried to open the conclave before the regalist cardinals from France, Spain, and Portugal could arrive. {Does any of this seem the least bit divinely inspired?} The French ambassador protested, and the conclave was deferred. Meanwhile Lorenzo Ricci, general of the Jesuits, compromised their case by issuing a pamphlet questioning the authority of any pope to abolish the Society. (6) In March Cardinal de Bernis arrived from France, and began to canvass the cardinals with a view to ensure the election of a pope willing to satisfy their Catholic Majesties. Later rumors (7) that he or others bribed, or otherwise induced, Cardinal Giovanni Ganganelli to promise such action if chosen have been rejected by Catholic (8) and anti-Catholic historians (9) alike. {Many apparently 'anti' positions are actually managed or double agents.} Ganganelli, by common consent, was a man of great learning, devotion, and integrity; however, he belonged to the Franciscan order, which had often been at odds with the Jesuits, {Such as the treatment of North Americas who Franciscans brutalized in ways no devil would imagine.} both in missions and in theology. (10) On May 19, 1769, he was elected by the unanimous vote of the forty cardinals, and took the name of Clement XIV. He was sixty-three years old. He found himself at the mercy of the Catholic powers. France and Naples held on to the papal territory they had seized; Spain and Parma were defiant; Portugal threatened to establish a patriarchate independent of Rome, even Maria Theresa, hitherto fervently loyal to the papacy and the Jesuits, but now losing authority to her freethinker son Joseph II, answered the Pope's appeal that she could not resist the united will of so many potentates. Choiseul, dominating the government of France, instructed Bernis to tell the Pope that 'if he does not come to terms he can consider all relations with France at an end. (11) Charles III of Spain had sent a similar ultimatum on April 22. Clement, playing for time, promised Charles soon to 'submit to the wisdom and intelligence of your Majesty a plan for the total extinction of the Society.' (12) He ordered his aides to consult the archives and summarize the history, achievements, and alleged offenses of the Society of Jesus. He refused to surrender to Choiseul's demand that he decide the issue within two months. He took three years, but finally yielded. On July 21, 1773, he signed the historic brief 'Dominus ac Redemptor Noster'. It began with a long list of religious congregations that had, in the course of time, been suppressed by the Holy See. It noted the many complaints made against the Jesuits, and the many efforts of divers popes to remedy the abuses so alleged. 'We have observed with the bitterest grief that these remedies, and others applied afterward, had neither efficacy or strength to put an end to the troubles, the charges, and the complaints.' (13) The brief concluded: Having recognized that the Society of Jesus could no longer produce the abundant fruit and the great good for which it was instituted and approved by so many popes, our predecessors, who adorned it with so many most admirable privileges, and seeing that it was almost--and indeed absolutely--impossible for the Church to enjoy a true and solid peace while this order existed,... we do hereby, after a mature examination, and of our certain knowledge, and by the plenitude of our Apostolic power, suppress and abolish the Society of Jesus. We nullify and abrogate all and each of its offices, functions, administrations, houses, schools, colleges, retreats, refuges, and other establishments which belong to it in any manner whatever, and in every province, kingdom, or state in which it may be found. (14) The brief went on to offer pensions to those Jesuits who had not yet taken holy orders, and who wished to return to lay life; it permitted Jesuit priests to join the secular clergy or some religious congregation approved by the Holy See; it allowed professed Jesuits, who had taken final and absolute vows, to remain in their former houses provided they dressed like secular priests and submitted to the authority of the local bishop... This is not generally the fashion here. A murderer killing himself, in Naples; the murderer usually makes for the nearest church; once there is quite safe. Every church gave the criminal 'sanctuary'-immunity from arrest so long as he remained under its roof. The law attempted to deter crime rather by severity of punishment than by efficiency of police. Under the laws of the gentle Benedict XIV blasphemy was punished by flogging, and, for a third offence, five years in the galleys. Unlawful entry of a convent at night was a capital crime. The solicitation or public embrace of an honorable woman brought condemnation to the galleys for life. Defamation of character, even if it spoke nothing but the truth, was punishable with death and confiscation of goods." (15) One can easily imagine these people were well behaved and civilized... right?! Is my sense of disgust at the deprecation of the 'savages' and 'pagans' unwarranted?

Botulinum Toxin for Migraines

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Skip_Freedman] Skip Freedman Headaches have hundreds of potential causes and are one of the more painful common conditions that bring patients to primary care doctors and neurologists. Migraine headaches affect about 29.5 million people in the United States. Women are three times more likely to suffer from them than men. They are more prevalent among people between 20 and 45 years old and are a leading cause of work absenteeism and reduced work productivity. The direct and indirect cost of migraines to the economy is estimated at $50 billion a year. Using botulinum toxin injections is a controversial treatment to prevent migraine headaches. Reports in the scientific literature (including retrospective case series, uncontrolled and nonblinded studies, small controlled trials and case reports) suggest botulinum reduces migraines in some patients. However, recently several larger and randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials that were differently designed dont favor botulinum toxin as a treatment. A clinical trial entitled A Study Using Botulinum Toxin Type A as Headache Prophylaxis for Migraine Patients with Frequent Headaches is currently underway. Today some clinicians use botulinum toxin injections trying to manage patients who have severe and frequent migraines. Given the varying clinical experiences reported, one of the criteria proposed for doctors to select patients for this treatment is their failure to respond to other migraine treatments; but each migraine sufferer is unique. Doctors considering botulinum toxin therapy for a migraine patient should take a thorough review of the patients clinical history; conduct an in-depth physical examination; perform or review diagnostic studies; consider past and current treatments and the patients responses to them; and consider any co-morbid illnesses or conditions. Until the results of the current and future clinical trials of botulinum toxin for migraine headache prevention can provide definitive answers about its efficacy and safety, doctors should use it on a case-by-case basis. Only an individualized approach allows the doctor to balance all the considerations when using botulinum toxin. For now, doctors should carefully preselect patients who might potentially benefit from the therapy until further evidence-based research deepens our understanding about its clinical use. Unless plan language specifically excludes this treatment, case managers should be aware of the evolving nature of botulinum toxin injections for migraines and that it needs case-by-case consideration. This makes it a good candidate for review by an independent review organization with a physician panel up-to-date on the latest medical literature about the treatment.

Fitness Boozing - Minimize the Effects of Alcohol on Your Body

By Jay Thomas The reality is, alcohol is a simple sugar, in fact, the simplest sugar there is. While most sugars have to travel to the intestinal tract to be absorbed, alcohol can be absorbed through the wall of the stomach, which is why you can do a few shots and feel it relatively quickly. While most sugars yield 4 calories per gram, alcohol yields 7, and they are basically worthless calories. They are easily converted into triglycerides and stored as fat. The sugar also affects insulin balance, so you can not release stored fat. End result over time = beer belly. Worst of all, since about 90-120 minutes after consuming a fair amount of alcohol, blood sugar drops, your body sends it these little chemical signals (neurotransmitters) trying to drive you to the foods that will restore blood sugar quickly. That's why you end up in Denny's or Jack in the Box at 3 AM. Trick #1 is of course limiting alcohol consumption to one day per week (the Cheat Day). You can't get fat in a day, and if you're spending six days of the week boosting metabolism, your body will learn to burn through . . . . well . . . even a Denny's meal once in awhile. If Trick #1, seems too restrictive, that doesn't mean you can't do this. There are some steps you can take that will hinder alcohols negative effects on your physique. First, if you are planning on having a few, a complete meal, consisting of a good amount of protein and some complex carbs (like a chicken breast and a potato) one hour before will allow you to get to those quality nutrients before those empty calories hit the bloodstream. Since protein has a "thermic" (heat producing or calorie burning effect), it will lessen the metabolic slowdown you'll bring about by drinking on an empty stomach and help to put your body in a state where it is more likely to burn at least some of those alcohol calories as energy. It might also be beneficial to swallow two carb blocker pills about 30 minutes before drinking. These are carb grabbers that inhibit the amylase enzymes that converts excess sugars into fats, lessening the likelihood the alcohol will be stored as body (read: belly) fat. It's also best to eat something sugar free along with alcohol to slow the rush of alcohol sugars into the bloodstream. Some low fat Doritos made exclusively from corn and some chicken wings might help slow the sugar rush (if consumed along with alcohol, and of course not in excess). Finally, the "post drinking" meal should be preceded by lots of water, even if you're not thirsty. This will minimize the dehydration that makes hangovers far worse, and should include foods free from sugar and low in fat. I know when you have those post-drinking cravings the little voice is begging you to get a chili cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate shake, but I assure you, if you can discipline yourself to go for an egg white omelet with some whole grain toast or a grilled chicken breast and potato, after the meal the cravings will be gone. Blood sugar will begin to stabilize. Jay Thomas - I am a fitness and nutrition professional who believes in the natural way to be healthier.

Brain Injury Attorney Compensation

By Ken Marlborough It is hard to evaluate the damage caused by a brain injury that an individual endures as a result of another person's negligence. The medical bills form a substantial part, apart from the mental anguish and emotional stress. In severe brain injury cases, it is highly advisable that victims take assistance from attorneys or law firms that specialize in handling these cases. Brain injury cases are complicated and the compensation sought is substantial, so it is always recommended to hire specialized attorneys. It is not very easy to prove negligence because victims are mostly not in a state to be a witness or recount what happened to them. Attorneys handling such cases are required to have sound knowledge of the law and the basics of medical science. The procedure for compensation involves obtaining copies of important documents and details of the case. In most brain injury cases, insurance agencies invariably try to avoid payment, or pay as little as possible. They have a method of assessing compensation and may, if they do not refuse outright, primarily offer a small amount as settlement. If victims or their attorneys are not completely prepared, victims are prone to end up with a raw deal. In case of severe brain injuries, victims may not be in a condition to attend to the details and thus, the job has to be left to a competent attorney. It is advisable for victims to make a note of all details concerning the event that resulted in the brain injury. The attorney may utilize these to suit his strategy for the case. The factors to be considered while preparing a case include medical expenses before the claim is submitted, expenses being met presently, the estimated expenses, loss due to absence from work, damage to vehicle or other property, mental agony, and suffering. In order to win a favorable judgment, victims have to provide evidence that the injury was caused by the defendant's inability to act with reasonable care. It becomes easier to negotiate with insurance companies if the case is strong. They are expected to be careful not to allow negotiations to drag on endlessly. There is a time limit from the date of the brain injury to file for compensation. Brain Injury Attorneys provides detailed information on Brain Injury Attorneys, Traumatic Brain Injury Attorneys, Aquired Brain Injury Attorneys, Anoxic Brain Injury Attorneys and more. Brain Injury Attorneys is affiliated with Finding Brain Injury Lawyers.

The Dating Double Standard � Why Many Men Have No Shot At Love

By Christine Akiteng The more years I work as a dating coach, the more I feel frustrated about the double standards in our dating world. I can clearly see the double standards because I was raised in a whole lot different environment. Its not a perfect world, there are cultural and economic imbalances but trust me, men-women relationships are much more balanced and amicable - and lasting. Personally, I believe that this double standard is the reason why dating is a battle field of the sexes and relationships between men and women are so messed up. As it stands today, the tables are tilted against men. In the Western world (and it's catching up all over the world), women are this all perfect superior helpless creatures badly oppressed by evil, cruel and heartless men. I am not saying that all men are victims , there are some really , cruel and heartless men out there and Ive met some of them (still gives me the creeps) but this article is based on my experience as a dating coach. It could be biased because most of my clients are men, but I think research (and the real world) can back me up on this one. It seems that everything men do is wrong and when women do the same thing its okay. For example a man who says he prefers skinny, petite blondes over a BBW is called names like superficial, shallow and immature; focused on the womens body and sees them as sex objects. But we never really think of women who prefer taller guys (at least 5'10''or taller) with six pack abs and hard gluts as superficial, shallow and immature. Let alone those women who'll only date millionaires. Another example is when a 50 year woman dates a guy 15 years her junior she is considered empowered and changing how people perceive relationships - and she appears on Oprah's show to boast about it. Her younger guy on the other hand is looked on with suspicious askance i.e. someone looking for a mother-figure. But when a 50 year man dates a woman 15 years his junior he is exploiting her. He goes on Jerry Springer's Show to boast about it! Whether it's who should make the first move, who should ask for a date or who should pay for the bill, the formal distance of detachment and dissociation in the dating dynamics makes it virtually impossible to move from first eye-contact to sexual intimacy. The irony is that this double standards are not just affecting men, they are affecting women too, may be even much more so. Just read the kind of dating advice from men for men and you will not miss the bitterness and get back at them undertones. I read some of the advice and can't help but feel deep sadness. This advice from men who mostly have been ignored, despised, dismissed and hurt by women and now found away to "get even" and are training other men to get their revenge on women. Basically they've declared "war" against women. But where does this leave men who do not want revenge but just want to be loved by a good women? men who want to settle down and raise a loving family? The many emails I receive are from men whove distanced themselves from being challenged and stretched. They want love not war but are afraid to take risks and instead chose to protect their vulnerability at all costs. In short, they have allowed fear to direct their search for love. As long as we (both men and women) prefer to remain immersed in this double standard, we filter every trace of love out of our perceptions, interactions and relationships. You can master all the dating, flirting and seduction techniques and tricks in the known world but as long as you allow your frustration, stress, pride, anger, fear, guilt, shame, etc to direct your search for love, you are actually asking the only thing in the universe that doesn't know what love is, to find it for you. Talk about letting the inmates run the asylum! If you are a man or woman looking to truly fall in love, the first place you must go is inside yourself, how you view the opposite sex. Ask yourself these questionsWhere do my attitudes, assumptions, and judgments come from? What are my self-destructive ways of thinking and relating? Do I have the capacity to respond from a place that is connected to something beyond emotional reactivity (frustration, stress, pride, judgmental attitude, etc.), and emotional wounds (anger, fear, guilt, shame, etc)? Once you have identified your self-destructive patterns, start changing them. By asking these probing questions and changing how you view the opposite sex, you will eventually become more aware of your own way of relating and be able to focus all your efforts in a personally significant way that not only makes you attractive to the opposite sex but draws love to you.

What You Must Know About Dating a Non Christian

By David King Inevitably, when the topic of dating comes up among Christian teens, the question that always seems to come up is, "Can I date a non-Christian?" Most of the time, the typical verse that is used to answer their question is 2 Corinthians 6:14-15, which says, "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?" Knowing that you aren't supposed to date non Christians is one thing, but actually understanding why the Lord doesn't want you to date and marry a non Christian is another matter, so let's look some of the reasons why you aren't supposed to date an unbeliever. 1) Being unequally yoked (dating a non Christian) can create a constant source of problems and arguments. A believer and an unbeliever are total opposites spiritually, which can result in some major differences in the values that you hold and the things that you believe. This has the potential to produce an atmosphere of strife, instead of love which will have you agreeing with Proverbs 21:19, which says that it is, "Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and ill-tempered wife." 2) We are told to guard our hearts above all else (Proverbs 4:23). Simply put, unbelievers don't have the same moral standards that we as Christians are supposed to have. If you get involved in a relationship with a non Christian, you could open yourself up to a lot of heartache, as their intentions may be less than pure. 3) In 1 Corinthians 15:23, we are told that bad company corrupts good character. Just look at how Solomon's wives turned his heart from the Lord in 1 Kings 11:4. 4) The Lord has a specific person for you. In 1John 4:16, we read that God is love and from James 1:17 we know that God gives us good and perfect gifts, and Ephesians 3:20 says that we know God is able to do above and beyond all that we can ask or even think. If we apply those verses to our dating and relationships, we will come to understand that the Lord loves us, and because of His love for us, He will give us a good and perfect partner (who is spiritually compatible with us), and will go above and beyond all that we can ask or even think in this area.

My Portion is Small But I Am Gaining Weight

By Kadence Buchanan Obesity has become the number one issue in contemporary US nutrition magazines as it has been increasing across ages and educational backgrounds in a very fast rate. One of the associated causes of this problem is the big portion sizes provided in restaurants all over the US. According to researchers, people have been found to eat more if their plate's portion is larger than usual; and the fact is that the more one eats the more weight he or she will gain if the amount of exercise conducted is kept constant. Since the human stomach needs approximately twenty minutes before signaling to the brain that is full and we should stop eating, people continue eating the food in their plate just because it happens to be there. If restaurants continue to increase their portions so as to increase their demand, people will continue consuming more and more calories and the essence of eating a "normal" portion will soon be in the past. If one considers that the usual 12 ounce soda cup has recently reached the 20 ounce size, it is not difficult to understand why bigger food portions have directly influenced people's understanding on what should be considered normal or reasonable and what not. From the bread slices to the French-fries one orders at a local take away, increased portions have led consumers to demand to receive more for the price they pay. If one is served the older portions he or she will immediately compare it to the new increased size a restaurant now serves and this will seem tremendously small to fulfill anyone's hunger. In fact, if you serve a five-year old the portion of ice-cream he or she should be served you will probably have to deal with their whining as the smaller scoop size will seem small and inappropriate to cover their need. But this ever-growing problem has to do with the lack of receiving the proper nutritional education from early childhood. If people knew which portions should be enough to cover their daily nutritional needs and they were instructed on how to combine food categories, measure portion sizes, and balancing their meals, the obesity problem would have never risen to its current alarming state. Thus, next time you exit your favorite ice-cream store holding another of its legendary gigantic cones on your hand trying to fulfill your need for something sweet, you should remember that the kid's portion would be more than enough of such a treat and would save you at least an extra 800 calories. Being aware of how increased portions can destroy your silhouette in a rapid rate is the most important step in fighting the problem of obesity before you have to change your wardrobe size. Eat wisely and stop when you feel that your stomach is actually full. You can always take the rest of your portion home in the doggy bag and serve yourself the next day.
