We compromise. We give in. We negotiate. All against our better judgment, and often end up settling.
Psychology has shown us that the process of finding a mate is one of the most dominant and powerful forces in our lives. Part of the problem is that we make a lot of allowances for the behaviors of our potential mates. We compromise, we give in, we negotiate, all against our better judgment, thus ending up in situations in which we are unhappy and unsatisfied.

What Women Don’t Know About Men: Part Three
In this segment I’ll be discussing a certain “type” of Men.
• The sort of men who are engaged in self-reflection.
• The sort of men who take seminars and workshops to better themselves and their relationships.
• The sort of men who understand the importance of listening.
Take things one step at a time and live in the NOW!

Expectation leads to disappointment: When I first heard that spiritual concept, I railed against it. You need to dream! You need to have goals! Vision! You need to EXPECT good things!
But that is not what this saying means at all. Of course you need to be excited about your life and look forward to good things! But expectation comes when you CREATE a certainty in the future outcome, and RELY on it happening the way that YOU think that it should.
There are ways to prevent the frustrations of Valentine's Day from ever happening!
How to cope when your Valentine's Day didn't exactly live up to your high expectations!
It's February 15th and beyond. After Valentine's Day, rather than a day filled with roses, chocolates, and kisses, you may find yourself suffering from Post Valentine's Day Delusions or PVDD.
How to have a Happy Valentine's Day and avoid the disappointment!
Happy Valentine's Day! Today is the day when couples celebrate the love they share for one another. It's a huge national holiday, and there are a lot of expectations riding on February 14 – what gift to give your partner, where to have a romantic dinner, what to do after dinner... Often with so many plans and hopes, the reality of Valentine's Day often doesn't live up to the hype. How do you avoid that? "How I Stopped Hating Valentine's Day"
Single? Turn your Valentine's Day from drab to fab!
Unrealistic expectations can cause a great deal of emotional pain if you are alone on Valentine’s Day!
Longing for what is not there in front of you rather than seeking joy in what is! I often think of the old saying, “God never gives you more than you can handle.” There is great truth in this even when it feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. Inch by inch you move forward with conscious intent until you can see light at the end of the tunnel. You have survived! Now what?
Expectation or Intention?
Often the topic of Romantic Love on Valentines Day focuses on the expectations involved. Husbands and boyfriends are wondering, “What will I get her?” What is she expecting?” Wives and girlfriends wonder “Will he let me down again?” or “I hope he surprises me.”
A New Year's meditation to help you gain the most in 2012.
The month of January is named after the Roman god Janus, the god of beginnings and transitions. If you have seen depictions of him, you know he had two faces that looked both backward and forward. Thus, the transition month of the year bears his name.
Most of us look forward to this time and wonder what the new year will bring. Whether your personal year last year was easy or difficult (or, more likely, a mix of the two), the new year usually brings with it renewed hope and fresh energy.
In-Law relationships are tough and can stress a marriage. Here are some tips to make them easier!
The Mother-in-Law (MIL)/Daughter-in-Law (DIL) relationship is often very complex for a variety of reasons. My own experience has been great, though it wasn’t always easy. My Mother-in-Law, Terry, is wonderful! She warmly welcomed me into the family, she has always been supportive, fairly undemanding (I'll have to explain that one to her!), and has worked harder than anyone I have ever seen to develop and maintain relationships with me, her oldest son’s wife, her daughter’s husband and all of her grandchildren. She is truly an inspiration and I have often told her that she should write a “how-to” book for other Mothers-in-Law. (We’re actually considering working on one together!)
While some men just aren't Mr. Boyfriend Material, others just need clear communication from you about what you want, need and expect from them. To make things trickier, many women have difficulty articulating exactly what they're looking for. That said, imagine if you knew the following:
Guy meets girl, guy proposes 6 weeks later. Are reality TV relationships screwing up real romances?
Question: Reality TV is spawning so many romances these days, are we all becoming 'love at first sight' addicts? Is love at first sight for real... do these manufactured romances stand a chance...and what is the best way for us to keep a grip on the real reality when it comes to romance?
