STRESS and the HOLIDAYS
Everyone would prefer their holiday to be stress-free.
Holidays are supposed to bring relaxation and rejuvenation, but alas, some people find them disappointingly stressful.
Does this apply to you ?
Some people find that the Christmas spirit can be undermined by family tensions, separation or divorce, finances and , while sounding paradoxical, the fact that one is alone during these times. For those in relationships, habits that are usually just annoying could become major sources of irritation. Well, because this subject matter becomes a real issue for some, more than an exception, we're going to discuss it on our next show. And this one is right in the thick of the season. Perfect timing ?

With great certainty, relationships will find their way into
divergence and dissimilarity.
About what? Well, fill in your blanks _______ .
Conflicts are critical events that can weaken or strengthen a relationship. How the conflicts get resolved is an important factor in determining whether a relationship will be healthy or unhealthy; and eventually, mutually satisfying or unsatisfying. Effective conflict resolution can indeed make the difference. But do remember: the fact that conflict exists is not necessarily a bad thing. As long as it is resolved effectively, it can lead to growth in the partnership.
And just to clue you in on what we’ll be talking about on our next show, here’s a tip: Take a look at You first, not the other person. Aha, maybe, that has already piqued your interest. We’ll leave you with that for now.

Being Satisfied
In or Out of Relationships
We will take a look at being satisfied, in or
out of a relationship, and what that means to be satisfied.
More than two million couples in the United States each year
will get married, and a total of 90% will marry at some point
in their lives . Yet close to one-half end in divorce. This number,
while dramatic,does not even take into account the number of
relationships that are not marriages that follow the same path.
If one were a researcher in this area, wouldn't it be great
to look into peoples' views around one obvious parameter
used in relationships: Are you satisfied?
And to sweeten the pot, might as well ask the same question
to those who are NOT in a relationship.
The Sweet and Sour of Relationships
Let's start with this: Relationships are ever changing and always evolving.
And it's something that always needs work. The ideal state of coping with
and enjoying a relationship would involve whole lot of things . Obviously the
early stage of a relationship is the most exciting and could be potentially iffy
at the same time. It is the period during which each partner feels out and
works out the other. Feelings are powerful, emotions do dominate and do
fluctuate. But relationships do evolve. And guess what?
We're right in the thick of it!
The undeniable fact is : Highs and lows are completely normal.
And in knowing all of this, the enlightened question should be: How can we use love to our advantage?
Infidelity: Ideal Solutions for a Non Ideal Situation
Consider this: throughout the life of nearly all relationships,
there are four timetable events which can breed infidelity:
After the First Year of Marriage
After the First Child is Born
The 5th to 7th Year and
During Middle Age ( aka mid life crisis)
And here’s some more: Statistically speaking, men cheat for a single
primary reason: sex. Statistically, women don't cheat for the sake of sex.
It's of secondary concern for them. The #1 reason why they cheat is for an
emotional connection. And this is particularly true of women over the
age of 30. By the way, statistics also show that the percentage of men who
say they would have an affair if they knew they would never get caught
is 74%; for women, 68% .
Do you agree with the above? If you or you know of someone where infidelity
has been or is a reality and not just a statistical footnote in his or her life,
we invite you to explore with us the truth, or should we say , the hidden truths
about our how people navigate the path called “ relationships”.
