Family Relations

 What is Needed? Today's discussion is on contact! That is physical contact. Now when first thinking about this you are probably like well two people they love each other, they are physically intimate. That is actually not always the case. In fact all people take physical affection different and interpret it in so many ways.  I want to use a little example to help expand your mind before we get into this. I think back to high school and what a first kiss often meant. For the guy it was what was cool. He would go back and tell his buddies and then he was accepted by them. For the girl it often means that there are true feelings there. The boy loves me the girl thinks. We have different perspectives through the same experience. Side note this is not my experience haha.   We have been all about communication throughout this blog. In every way is it helpful. Well we are not stopping with that today. We need to make sure that our physical touch is given and communicated. ...

These wonderful resources will cost you. Money has become what this world truly revolves around. Whenever you need something in life, you must have the money to be able to get that thing.

This being a blessing can also be a burden.  There are countless times when somebody got in their finances over their heads. This meaning that they financially get in trouble. Very often because of these payment methods not being immediate, people put too much on their plate, this putting them in a position that they canno...

Don't Hate Arguing  Alright so today's topic is one that is interesting. You could probably tell by the tittle. This is actually going to go into a field that I struggle with. The logic is relevant and works I just struggle to apply it sometimes. Or I forget. I am not perfect either.  I want to discuss today deeper in the idea of solving conflict. We are going to dive into ways that we can address the topic of an argument without feeding the fire. We never want to disregard someone's feeling and so we cannot in this moment of disagreement just end the argument. There are however ways to address it and end it where we have both sides of the party feeling happy and right.  This should be the aim for all couples. If you have the desire to make your significant other upset or sad maybe you should hit the road. There are five ways that we can engage peacefully in arguments. We will say do not hate the arguments, embrace them. That is really what we will be discussing completel...

My next question is did you enjoy how your stress felt? I feel that you probably thought to yourself "well obviously not".  Stress is one of those things in life that we can never escape and that we will never enjoy. At least not anyone that I know will ever enjoy this.  Now as you all know we focus hear on the family unit and how we can strengthen that, so let us get into that. We all know a family that has gone through a divorce. We all know someone who has gone through a relationship separation.

A great cause for these breakups and these separations is the difficulty in handling the stress associated with their lives and relationships.  We however hear do not seek to put forth the negative.
