Relationship Quotes To End The Year of 2008

Dec 31, 2008 Author: May | Filed under: General Tips
I’ve been away lately and didn’t even get a chance to access the Internet. That’s the reason why you haven’t heard from me for quite a while. I would like to apologize for that. Anywya, I think it’s appropriate for me to end the year by presenting you some of the relationship inspirational quotes that might inspire you further. I’ll start with my own quote first and followed by the rest.

"Winning ex back is through logical thinking and rational behaviour, not emotional outbursts and desperate action" - May Lehmann. (wink, wink)

"Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down."
-Oprah Winfrey

"Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is… suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with" ~ Gillian Anderson

"It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations." – Kahlin Gibran

"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies." – Aristotle

"Where does the family start? It starts with a young man falling in love with a girl - no superior alternative has yet been found." – Winston Churchill

"The act of forgiveness is the act of returning to present time. And that’s why when one has become a forgiving person, and has managed to let go of the past, what they’ve really done is they’ve shifted their relationship with time." – Caroline Myss

"Man is a knot into which relationships are tied." ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

"Once the trust goes out of a relationship, it’s really no fun lying to ‘em anymore." -Norm from Cheers

"Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they’re trying to find someone who’s going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take." -Anthony Robbins

"The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart." – Helen Keller

"Love doesn’t just sit there like a stone; it has to be made - like bread, remade all the time, made new." – Ursula LeGuin

"Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never ever the same." -Flavia Weedn

"You can’t stop loving or wanting to love because when it’s right, it’s the best thing in the world. When you’re in a relationship and it’s good, even if nothing else in your life is right, you feel like your whole world is complete." ~ Keith Sweat

"Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired." – Mark Twain

"To love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person." – Eric Fromm

"Our greatest joy-and our greatest pain comes in our relationships with others." ~ Stephen R. Covey

I hope that the collection of good relationship quotes above will inspire you to improve your relationship for the better. If you have your own quotes about relationships, or by other people that are not listed above, please do not hesitate to share with us all.

 
If getting your ex back is what you are aiming at, then, stay with me. Next year we will be covering more on this topic.

So, happy new year to all of you and hopefully 2009 will be the year that you’ll win your love back.

Happy holidays and cheers!

May Lehmann.

Economic Downturn - A Threat Not Only To Your Mortgage, Your Relationship Too

Wherever you go, you’ll find news on how companies are laying off their employees because of the recession that the world is going through today. It’s just today I read about how recession is affecting everyone, directly or indirectly from Make Love NOT Debt blog. A good relationship finance blog, I recommend you check it out.
 
Unfortunately, for many, financial matters are woven into the very fiber of relationships and marriages. With the number of foreclosures, bankruptcies, failing retirement plans, and employment cut backs today, it is just a matter of time until the stress of it all places enough strain on a relationship to shake its very foundation.  I’ve discussed on relationship stress previously.

That’s not always a bad thing. Shaken to its foundation? May sound frightening at first, but the truth is, the relationship may need a little shaking up.

When asked what couples generally argue about, money is a regular on the list, usually showing up in the top three. Although many of us may fear that the very fact we are having financial difficulties will inevitably lead to relationship trouble, it’s not necessarily true. It all goes back to the foundation shaking.

During these troubling times, it is a perfect opportunity to take a look at what our relationships are fundamentally based on. There are several types of relationships, and some are made out of the strength and fiber that it takes to stay on the path, even when the going gets tough.

What type of relationship do you have?

Money and goal driven: This type of relationship can easily be shaken. Instead of looking to each other for a sense of self-worth, happiness, and security, this type of relationship looks “away” from each other toward goals or money to provide security.

Signs of a money or goal driven relationship are easy to recognize.

- When angry or aggravated, do you turn toward your partner for love, understanding, and reassurance, or do you go shopping?

- Do you avoid dealing with your feelings by focusing on the “next goal” instead of the stability of the relationship?

- Instead of enjoying each other sexually or going for walks together, do you both go your separate ways upon arriving home?

- Do you find it difficult to put projects down to pay attention to your partner, or vice versa?

A goal or money driven relationship will quickly crumble under financial strain. Without the cushion of using money as a diversion, the two of you will have to face each other, and depending on how long this has gone on, there may not be much of a relationship left.

 
Take the time now to set things aside to pay attention to your spouse. As long as there hasn’t been any infidelity, things can easily be heated up again.

Completely Separate Viewpoints: Olivia Mellan wrote the all-important book, “Money Harmony: Resolving Money Conflicts in Your Life and Relationships.“ She has noted that when one partner is extremely frugal with the finances, while the other partner spends freely, fights will begin as the budget needs tightening. When there was enough extra cash to provide a cushion for the more frivolous spender, nothing was said.

The extra careful partner may have stuffed their true feelings about the free spender, and now the day of reckoning is set to take place. When it arrives, it could be trouble for the health of the relationship. The spender will most likely feel attacked and betrayed when reprimanded for habits that were “never a problem before.” The frugal partner may feel tremendous bitterness and a desire to blame their partner for being blind to the potential situation ahead.

Head this problem off right now by taking the time to sit down and discuss financial planning strategies before there is an unforgivable infraction that will send the miser off the deep end. Don’t accuse, simply and lovingly talk about making a few changes and placing a governor on unnecessary spending.

Relationships based on feelings for each other and common goals: This is how most of us started out, or meant to. Some of us just assumed that our partner shared our beliefs and goals. The economic climate can be a perfect launching pad for discussions that will bring the two of you back to where you once were, or where you always wanted to be.

Keep lines of communication open and remain sensitive to your spouse’s needs and potential fears. Make specific efforts to keep self-esteem levels high. Sit closer than you used to, hold hands, sleep next to each other, and keep up or develop a healthy sexual relationship.

 
This is all-important for a strong relationship that will stand the test of time, and all the bumps in the road along the way. Travel together toward the same goal, and regardless of the economy, the two of you are positioned for success!

How To Write A Magic Second Chance Letter

If you’re reading this, you’ve probably gone through one of the worst experiences of your life – the life shattering breakup. You’re also wondering what else you can do after reading countless advice columns and bad relationship advice from so called experts which just don’t seem to work. I even wrote on why listening to the relationship experts is not always a wise thing to do. It somehow left you wondering, “should I listen to the relationship expert or not?” I’m no relationship expert but I’ve been through that period in my life and I know how hopeless it all seems.

Sometimes the wise thing to do is the opposite of what your heart tells you to do, like not listening to the love gurus. The heart wants what the heart wants. The heart can be irrational and sometimes it can work against you. It is the weakness of the human mind. You can turn these weaknesses to work for you and ultimately win your ex back.

Let me share with you how with just a simple letter, you can get your ex back into your life. Let me show you also the importance of crafting the perfect magic second chance letter. Even if you’ve never written a single letter in your life, this could be the last thing in your effort to winning your ex back.

In short, it’s a handwritten letter more powerful than calling, texting, instant messaging and emailing can ever be. For one, a handwritten second chance letter shows sincerity and effort on your part. This translates as your willingness to want to get your ex back together again. It doesn’t matter how ugly your handwriting is, what matters is the content and the intention of the letter. If used correctly, this letter can open the door to that second chance that you’ve been praying to get.

Your get back together letter should be short and direct to the point. You should not sound as if you were begging your ex to take you back. The objective is to acknowledge the breakup and to show your ex that you respect her decision. This letter has two intentions. The first is when you want your ex to give you a second chance after you’ve just broken up, especially if you have blundered with other desperate measures such as calling or texting 50 times in a row or flooding her inbox right after the breakup. It’s more like a bandage to patch your broken relationship before you commit any dumb acts and driving them further away. The letter also acts as a door opener to the heart and mind of your ex. If your ex accepts this letter, consider your battle half won.

Remember, the best time to use this letter is the first few days after the breakup and before you chain yourself to her door as a desperate attempt to get back together. This letter will not work if you’re trying to get back with an old flame. It will be weird for somebody to receive the letter from you if you two haven’t spoken for a long time.

This get back together letter works because it shows that you are doing just fine, getting along very well without your ex in your mind. Other relationship experts would advice you otherwise and would probably not encourage this. But think about it, if your ex thinks that you are rationale and in the right state of mind (read: not desperate) they will be more likely to think about you as a person whom they used to have a great relationship with, rather than that person whom they’ve just left. In this calmer state of mind, they will be more likely to reflect on your good side, realise how mature you are and remember what made them attracted to you in the first place. Now wouldn’t that open the door for you to win back your ex?

Last week, I discussed how that sometimes listening to the relationship experts is not always a good idea. Instead listen to ordinary people who went through the same ordeal as you but came out a winner.

One such guy I know is TW Jackson who also happens to be the author of The Magic of Making Up book. In case you didn’t know it already, the book has helped thousands of people already. If getting back with your ex is all you can think about, this is a must read book and I highly recommend it. You owe it to yourself.

Don’t believe me? Check out the unsolicited testimonials presented by Mr. T Dub himself, sent by the people who got their ex back after following the strategies put up together by T Dub taught in his Magic of Making Up ebook.

Or read my Magic of Making Up review.

Kate Walsh’s Break Up/ Divorce

Dec 14, 2008 Author: May | Filed under: Celebrity Breakups Makeups

I just read some awful news today. Kate Walsh and her husband Alex Young are getting a divorce. Kate Walsh and Alex Young were engaged in May 2007, and got married on September 1st the same year. Alex petitioned for a divorce on November 22nd, and according to the court papers cited irreconcilable differences.

I have always enjoyed watching Kate act as Dr Addison Shepherd, first in Grey’s Anatomy, and then in Private Practice. Kate is beautiful, talented and such a joy to watch. Her eyes just shine with her emotions and that makes her all the more endearing. How can someone not love watching her every move?

Kate, keep your head up girl. Things may look grim now, but they will soon be better. Maybe not in a few weeks, maybe not in a few months, but one day.
