Communicate Before Marriage Values Religion Etc-Blinded By Love

You see a lot online or in magazines or on t.v. about how to deal with problems and issues in a relationship or marriage. The sad thing is that most of these problems could easily have been avoided if people would have just taken some time to communicate before marriage values, religion etc. Finding out what you have in common, what you don’t agree on and what you may be able to compromise on before you are married can save a lot of stress and tension after you are married.

Hey, I’m not criticizing anyone, I did the same thing. I ignored very obvious warning signs that my soon to be husband wasn’t really the man for me. I was in love and apparently blind, because I went through with it and we got married. I did get two wonderful, beautiful children out of the marriage so I guess I won’t complain, but many of the hurts and issues we faced could have been avoided if both of us had been more honest.

It become clear fairly early on that we didn’t really have that much in common. We each wanted different things in a marriage. I wanted my best friend and companionship. Someone who I knew always had my back, even when I was wrong or just not very lovable. He wanted someone to cook and clean for him. He didn’t want a partner, we wanted a maid and a call girl. He was very immature and emotionally stunted, that too become pretty clear early on.

If you don’t want your marriage to end up in divorce, take some time to
communicate before marriage values, religion etc. Finding out what your soon to be spouse is really like can be the difference between a wonderful marriage or a nightmare. Here are some basic things the two of you should be on the same page about (or at least be able to find a good compromise on):

1. If religion is something that is very important to you, it might be a good idea to marry someone with similar beliefs. If you have some belief in a higher power but you aren’t too tied to any one organized religion, than it may not be a problem.

2. Do you want to have kids? If so, how many? How do you think they should be raised, should one parent stay home with them or are you both ok with the idea of daycare? If one parent should stay home, which parent? All of this is very important to take into consideration. If you have a great career you love and your soon to be husband has very traditional values and expects you to stay home and raise the kids, how is that going to make you feel?

3. What about money? Is one of you a someone who likes to pinch every penny and the other likes to rack up the credit cards to the limit? If so, how is that going to work? It will be a constant source of stress between the two of you. Also, who handles the money and financial issues, like getting insurance, paying the bills, etc.? Some couples like to do it together, which is best. But others may think that only one should do it. Find out what your partner is thinking.

Communicate before marriage values, religion etc is a good idea and may just save your marriage.

How Can I Save My Marriage-Dont Put Off What You Can Start Doing Today

“How can I save my marriage?” This question comes up so often with friends talking over coffee, or from a phone call to a best friend that they need to confide in. While things may seem hopeless, the answers could be very obvious. But life sometimes causes us not to see the answers for the problem.

It’s like the old adage: “You can’t see the forest for the trees”. This rings so true for marriage. Many times, we become so wrapped up in problems that we don’t give ourselves the chance to adequately search for the solution. We focus on the wreck instead of the cleanup. Getting over what is going on means being able to shift focus on how to resolve it. If we can focus on it enough to contemplate how much damage it is causing a marriage, then focusing on its resolution should get equal attention.

If there is a problem in a marriage then worrying about it isn’t going to fix it. This is where communication comes in. Focusing on the problem isn’t going to resolve it: neither is fighting over it or hiding resentment or anger. Bringing it all out for both sides to see, and discuss, is what needs to happen. And the sooner this happens, the better.

The best course of action here is to set aside time when both spouses can engage in conversation without distractions: “without distractions” being the key here. If this cannot be accomplished without interruptions or “life” butting in, then this is not the time. This is something that deserves full attention. If it is serious enough that one party feels their marriage is in jeopardy then that should be enough to warrant pushing all other areas to the side.

Once you have quiet, alone time, sit down and one person begins talking. If only one person feels this is an issue then they will start and have ample time to bring out their concerns. Perhaps a time limit could be imposed so that both sides get equal opportunity to address the concern.

Simple Steps To Get Him Back

If you need him back, then you have opened the right article. Below there are few steps for you to take.

- First of all, it is necessary for you to understand that patience is your best friend in this case. You have to start off the things small and simple. While passing your ex, do not rush things. You can show him that you are focused on him, but you do not have to go further than this.

- As well, you can try to strike up a conversation with him, but you have to keep talks brief and general. Keep in mind that men like mystery and thus you do not have to reveal too much.

- It is necessary for you to make sure to take the time on your appearance. Try to show him that you care about yourself because this will show him that you have confidence and respect yourself which a lot of men find attractive.

- You need to make sure that your ex feels great about being around you by giving some honest compliments. You may talk about some of good time you had together. Aside from this, you can highlight some of the better memories you and he had together in order to help remind him.

- It is a great idea to focus on becoming your ex’s friends first. If he wants you back in time he will let you know about this. You have to be open to him, have fun when you are together and if his feelings for you are rekindled, he will let you know. Here it is necessary not to rush. Remember that it is better to play things cool and that way you will win him back through the process.

These simple steps will help you to get him back and not to make mistake which will only push him further away from you.

Questions Relationship? Perhaps You Should

If you have someone close to you who questions relationship that you are in, do yourself a favor and listen. More often than not your mother, or sister, or best friend will see signs that you know are there, even though you deny it.  No one should subject themselves to a bad relationship, life is just too short.

I guess when it comes right down to it my first bit of advice would be to stay out of bad relationships in the first place. I know many people reading this would say, ‘well I didn’t know until I was in love”.  That may be true, I don’t know you or your situation, But I can say that in the case of one of my friends and my sister, who are both in awful relationships that would be a lie.

The truth is that almost always the signs are there very early on. We just choose to ignore them, and usually for the wrong reasons. We usually ignore them because we don’t want to be alone or the person looks really hot, etc. For dumb reasons. And before we know it we’re in over our heads and feel trapped and unsure of what to do.

The good news is that there are things you can do.  Here are a few ideas to get you started:

1. Of course, for the purpose of this article, when I talk about a bad relationship I don’t mean an abusive one. I just mean that the two of you aren’t compatible and don’t get along.  If there is abuse going on find help, go to a shelter, go to visit out of town friends, whatever you have to do to get away and be safe.

If, it’s not that dire, try to determine (be honest) if the two of you can work on things and make them better. Sometimes the troubles in a relationship are minor and we can easily fix them as long as both parties are willing to try. If you truly think your partner might be willing  to give it a try, than by all means give it a try.

2. Sometimes when one partner starts questioning the relationship, and suggesting that the two of you make changes, the other partner will start to get scared and suggest that the two of you take it to the next level. I know this sounds counterintuitive, but it happens. If you start noticing the flaws in your partner or the relationship your partner may start to feel unsure of them self and in order to keep you they might try to lock you in tighter by suggesting that you get married or move in together.

Don’t be fooled. If your partner does this it means they are trying to avoid the real issue and they’re trying to manipulate you and play on your emotions. Truthfully, if that happens, it should make you question the relationship even more, not less.

So, if someone you know and trust questions relationship your in, than you should take heed and listen. They are only looking out for you and they are more often than not, right to be concerned.

Christian relationship advice?

Okay well there’s this guy that has been my best friend for quite sometime. He’s liked me for a long time and I used to like him but just kind of ignored it because I didn’t want to ruin our friendship with drama. We live kind of far away and I saw him the other day again for the first time in over a year and I realized that I do have feelings for him…my problem? He’s as hard-core Atheist as I am Christian. We’ve literally gotten into too many arguments over religious situations to count but we always get over it the next day. Now he respect my beliefs and we’ve kind of just agreed to disagree and we avoid conversations that would get us in an argument. He doesn’t curse, drink, do drugs, party, he’s a virgin, he’s never even kissed anyone and neither have I. He’s like my ideal guy but there’s just that problem of religious beliefs and I know the Bible says not to be unevenly yoked. So I guess I just need some Christian advice on this, what is the best thing for me to do? Thank you for your help and God bless :)
Oh yeah…I’m 16, he’s 17 and we’ve been friends since we were 10

linda answers:

Ah, that is a problem. No, I wouldn’t date him. I’m really sorry to tell you that… but if you two can’t have that bond over a love for God… I don’t know if it would work out. You say “just that problem of religious beliefs” like it’s a little thing, but it’s really not. It’s the entirety of life, and if you’re a Christian, then you know how important it is. At this point, I would keep talking to him as his friend. Don’t get into arguments, but try to have discussions. I’m reading a great book by Tim Keller called “Reason for God”– it’s really helpful for talking about tough questions.
God bless. :)

Any helpful Christian relationship advice for me???

Hi, there’s this guy i met in college last year & he moved back to Jersey and I’m still in Pa. We talked on & off for a year. Over the summer he started calling me every day for a mo. and now just stopped. He was supposed to call a wk ago but did not. He does this alot, tho i spoke to him about it. He has told me that he likes me but because of a past relationship he finds it hard to trust females.

I don’t think he realizes how bad he hurt my feelings by basically lying to me. I’m the type who is always on guard so for me to put myself out there to actually try to get to know someone & let them in was BIG. I need help on how to forgive him & get over this because I’m a big ball of confusion & hurt right now.

Recently, I found out that he was trying to meet & talk to other hoochies that don’t respect themselves. I just wanna continue to focus on my singing career & not let this ONE guy prevent me from trusting anymore.

Do any of you have any helpful advice for me?

linda answers:

Well, I think it’s important that you do forgive him so you don’t hold hostility and resentment toward him. But, by forgiving him I don’t think you allow him in again. Clearly he’s not in the same place you are with where you want the relationship to go. And if he says he is, I wouldn’t believe it. Even with the distance, if he wanted to devote himself to you, he would and you’d be hearing from him daily.
I think it’s ok that you protect yourself. God says to protect your heart for it’s the well-spring of your soul. That doesn’t mean you close yourself to everyone, it just means to not allow yourself to be vulnerable to those you don’t know are trustworthy yet. Let God guide you and he’ll let you know when to open your heart when you meet a special guy.
In the meantime, forgive this other guy and move on. Focus on your singing career and getting things accomplished for the life YOU want, not letting him hinder you! You’re miles apart. Dwelling on what’s happened with him isn’t going to help you move forward. Pray about it and ask God to help you leave him in your past.

linda answers:

He failed to call you when he said he would, and you have some second-hand information that he’s considering dating other women. It is a bit thoughtless/forgetful of him, but doesn’t really qualify as lying. If he DOES lie to you, I’d recommend not pursuing anything with him, but for now he’s guilty of nothing more than forgetfulness.

Godly Christian relationship advice needed?

i’m in a relationship and sorta not sure what to do. i care about this guy and dont’ wanna lose or hurt him. but he has a way to go with God before he’s in a relationship, i can see that, he needs to grow more spiritually. also i have my fears of being used or played and i would like to not be in this relationship so that i can try moving on sorta to see if the way i feel for him is just cuz he’s my only option being so that i’m in a relationship with him. i know i dont make much (or any!) sense but i’m really confused and would really appriciate any friendly advice. i’m to the point i don’t know what to do and i want the Lord’s will but can’t seem to find it!!!
oh but this guy tells me he doens’ty wanna lose me adn he hasn’t said he needs to break up, it’s me with the questions. he actually insists that he’s fine…

linda answers:

thats a most understandable position to be in. from a guys prospective, he should be able to lead and encourage you in your faith/walk, not the other way around. if hes not there, or where he should be as a believer, you would be doing a dis-service to him and you by continuing to be in a relationship. you cant make him a better christian, only his relationship with God can. friends at a minimum? maybe but it will be difficult. a girl should be so close to God that a guy has to go to Him to find her. when emotions get involved it can be even more confusing. step back and take some time.
