On the occasion of Friendship Day , this one is dedicated to Friendship. It is a relation of not just mutual affection, but it’s integral to our lives, absence of which will make our life very difficult indeed.
Friendship is so powerful and amazing , that every relation is compared with it. A mother wants to be a child’s best friend, we say that our siblings are our closest friends, some find their truest friend in their girlfriend/boyfriend. The most purest feeling of Love is also compared with friendship. It is also said ” Friendship is Love” , and ” Friendship is the first step of love”.
We have so many friends, not everyone has the same priority and same value. But each one has their own value, every friend is needed and important in some or the other way. Many people find making friends as their hobby.
There are old friends, and childhood friends, who are with us for such a long time ,that they are like family. With them ,you are your true self, without any pretensions !! One can be as crazy and mad with them 🙂 We share many memories together. On the other hand , there are new friends, who are very excited and eager to know and understand each other. There are college friends, school friends, building friends , colony friends, family friends and what not !! I have library friends , dance friends, and train friends too ( A category of friends only Mumbai people can have 😉 🙂 ) The category of friends is never ending ! Each one is needed . As it’s said in Hindi “Har Ek Friend Zaruri hota hain “.
Sometimes things which could’t be shared with family , are disclosed easily among friends , perhaps this is the reason why a mother desires to be a best friend. True friends understand each other even without much communication. Friends of friends become great friends too. Many a time, in a short span of time ,people become great and inseparable friends. 🙂
And now , I have found people with same interests as mine on WordPress too , who always support my thoughts, encourage me , as a writer , as a person and a blogger . I share things with them . I can call them as my Blogging Friends 🙂
It’s not necessary that friends meet everyday or talk regularly. True friends can go a long time without talking or meeting , and yet when they meet, it’s like nothing is changed.
Isn’t it magical , a person who seemed nothing to you ,can later become one of the most important thing in your life. How our life can easily revolve around friends !! Every relation is compared with friendship !! However old friendship can be , somethings never change . It is indeed the magical relation . Cherish all your friends and keep making new ones too 🙂
HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY 🙂
-Straight From My Heart,


Throughout my personal job as an swingers clubs in portland oregondividual woman, i am away with a few solitary parents as you go along.
Nothing of the males happened to be alternatives for me, I am also in fact doubtful about dating an individual mother or father again.
Their unique physical lives felt as well complex and feisty for me personally to have anything besides below-average enjoyment degrees whenever I was actually with him. Thereis no method I would personally sign up for that.
It is as if single dads i have already been out with have forgotten about they must conquer their unique hit a brick wall connection before they start seeing others. I am talking about, no woman could feel truly special if she feels like the rebound woman or an evil girl taking a person’s father away.
It would be refreshing if an individual father could chuckle about their blunders, don’t worry about how he could meet ladies or place force on themselves in order to get online dating correct 100 % of times.
As soon as he’s identified how to get to this point, he’ll be great and shouldn’t also worry.
My personal information to one dad is easy: Whatever you would, stay away from doing any thing the following.
I am confident single women, like my self, find all the below a deal-breaker and can work more quickly than an Olympian to have far from you.
“Any time you trust the mother of your
children, you are to a fantastic beginning.”
The solitary dads we eliminate:
There you may have itâ¦
If you are really single, really need to support your offspring, admire the caretaker of your own children versus seek revenge and don’t want to mass-produce children on a global scale, i do believe you’re to outstanding start.
Add fun and a glass of drink, and I also would give consideration to internet dating that solitary mother or father myself personally.

This hilarious and heartfelt play both skewers and pays homage to the romantic comedy genre. Mark is a nice guy who never gets the girl, while Ally can’t seem to shake the world’s worst boyfriend. Both have built their romantic ideals on Disney heroes, fairy tales, and Cameron Crowe movies. They’re perfect for each other, but there’s just one problem: they’ve never met. As we follow their overlapping lives, we see all the ways these two are true soulmates, and wait for the moment they will find each other… if they find each other.
Mark and Ally are made for each other, but they just can’t seem to find one another. A Kind of Love Story tells their love story over several chapters, overseen by an omniscient narrator who tells us all about the two. Mark is stuck on the girl that got away: his best friend’s wife, Diane. Ally can’t seem to shake her terrible boyfriend, Max, who won’t commit. At several points, we think Mark and Ally will connect— Mark’s co-worker Lucy suggests he go out with her roommate (who we later learn is Ally). The two connect online, but their planned meeting is thwarted. Though they never speak, a chance encounter in a movie theater urges them both to take charge of their lives… and might finally lead them to one another.

Would you like to improve your relationships with your significant other, family, children or colleagues? Are you exhausted trying to maintain daily activities? Struggling with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, feeling irritable or unhappy? Many of us didn't get the attention, empathy and support we needed in our formative years, which often results in emotional wounds we carry as adults.

The most wonderful thing happened to me on Saturday, the secret I've been wanting to share with you all.
I got engaged!
But I can't say I didn't know it was coming. I actually went with James to pick the ring out.
We drove over to Sunset Cliffs Blvd in Point Loma to look at all the nice houses lining the ocean and the cliffs. I've posted pictures of La Jolla, and Point Loma is just as beautiful. We sat close to the edge of the cliffs and watched the waves boom and crash into them. It was, of course, a beautiful day, because it's always a beautiful day in San Diego. Then we drove down to Cabrillo National Park. At the top of the mountains there's a lighthouse and on the east side you can see the entire city of San Diego and Coronado Island. And on the west side, of course, you can see the blue Pacific.
I tried to wait patiently for what was coming. And when he finally proposed, I was the happiest person in the world.
We are not a traditional couple. We talked about getting married for a couple months now. He didn't have to surprise me, it was a mutual understanding. We both are very in love and want to spend the rest of our lives together, so we went to the jeweler's and picked out an engagement ring and our wedding bands. I'm not the type of girl that needed the moment to be traditional, perfect, or how it always appears to be when you're younger and you dream of the day you'll get engaged and then married. We actually even considered getting married in Vegas and not telling anyone, but I knew that my family would want to share in the moment as well, so we didn't.
What I mean, is that it may not have been the established, common marriage proposal, but it was perfect to me, and now I get to marry the man of my dreams.

How many kids grow up fantasizing about getting married and living happily ever after? How many adults are disappointed when their relationships do not meet their fantastical expectations? Probably more than we would all care to admit. The good news is that there is an answer. You just have to know the secret to having that perfect relationship.
Are you ready? Are you sure? Okay then, here it is: the secret to having a perfect relationship is accepting the fact that it doesn’t exist.
Sorry to drop the shoe in such a brutal way. However, the truth is necessary if you are ever going to build those strong, healthy relationships that you want and deserve. Strong and healthy relationships are both real and possible. Perfect relationships are not. Striving for perfection is a fool’s errand and a fast track to a broken heart.
Human Beings Are Flawed
Human beings are flawed features. No one is perfect. That being the case, how can you build a perfect relationship between two imperfect people? You cannot. No matter how hard you try, your relationships are never going to look like what you see in those prince and princess movies your kids watch. And by the way, we can take this one step further.
Your home will never consistently look like those magazine pictures unless you abandon everything else in your life. Your kids are not always going to be gathered around you in their Sunday best, smiling ear to ear. Those pictures you see in parenting magazines are staged.
Now, do not be discouraged by all this. Being imperfect is okay. In fact, there is a lot of joy to be found in our imperfections. Being imperfect gives us challenges to overcome. It gives us a purpose for trying to do better. It gives us things to laugh about and cry about. It’s all good.
Reasonable Expectations Win the Day
Knowing that perfect people and relationships do not exist, you now have a choice to make. You can continue down the path of heartbreak or you can build strong, healthy relationships based on reasonable expectations. According to the relationship counselors at Relationships & More in Rye, NY, reasonable expectations always win the day.
It is reasonable to expect that you and your spouse will enjoy good communication most of the time. It is unreasonable to expect that you will never disagree or argue. It is reasonable to expect that you and your spouse will enjoy a healthy sex life. It is unreasonable to expect your sex life to resemble Hollywood films.
Whatever expectations you have for your relationships should line up with reality. This is not to say you should lower your expectations in order to accommodate complacency. In fact, complacency can kill relationships quite quickly. Rather, the point of having realistic expectations is to embrace the fact that your relationships will be imperfect – and that’s okay.
There Is No Right Person
If you are experiencing unmet romantic expectations, perhaps it’s because you feel you did not hook up with the right person. Well, another shoe is waiting to be dropped. Here it is: there is no one, single person who is right for you. There are people with whom you are more compatible but, within that group, there are plenty of choices. Assuming your relationship isn’t perfect because you didn’t find Mr. or Mrs. Right is neither reality nor productive.
The secret to that perfect relationship is embracing the fact that it does not exist. When you can get past that, you’re in a good position to build the strong, healthy relationship you want.

Christian sex is the union between a husband and wife within marriage. It entails the complete consummation of body, soul, and spirit as the couple fully becomes one. Money and sex tend to be the top two areas for marital strife. Of the two, sexual problems usually have a more devastating impact that can rock a marriage to its core. The sexual temperature within marriage, defined as the level of mutual sexual satisfaction, usually reflects the overall health of a marriage. If a marriage is healthy and connected, both partners typically report relatively frequent and fulfilling sex. However, if a marriage is unhealthy and disconnected, one or both partners usually report infrequent and unsatisfying sexual contact. Sex is also usually one of the first things to enter a romantic relationship when things are going well and one of the first things to disappear when things turn south. Unfortunately, many men feel sexually unsatisfied in their marriages while women tend to feel used just for their bodies. Obviously, learning how to have fulfilling Christian sex within marriage is essential. The first step to a satisfying sex life within marriage is developing a close friendship with your spouse.
Sex tends to be one of the most powerful forces on Earth, evident by the high rate of sexual misconduct we see all around us. It’s rare to go longer than a few weeks without some high ranking official being caught in some type of sexually explicit excursion. Why would someone who seemingly has it all, high paying job, beautiful family, etc, throw it all away for sex? One of the answers is because the power and pull of sex can often be overwhelming, especially for men. One relatively recent story was the rise and fall of Gil Jones, a pastor who brought a fledgling Flatirons Church in Colorado from a few hundred to ten thousand all within a few years. On the outside he seemed to have the perfect life, rising stardom, skyrocketing church, and a beautiful wife and children; however, he started having an affair with a woman on staff, which ultimately led to his demise both personally and professionally. Unfortunately, stories like this are common and they reveal over and over the blinding power of sexual sin that leads people to risking it all for only a few moments of pleasure.
Since God created sex, He knows how destructive it can be if used in the wrong context, which is why He set very specific boundaries for it within marriage. “Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body” (1 Corinthians 6:18, KJV) As with all things in the Bible, God has our best interest in mind and wants us to live abundant lives by following His mandates. One analogy for sex is a river, if it is contained within the banks (marriage) the water can flow beautifully and powerfully. However, if the river exceeds the banks and spills over into the landscape surrounding it (sex outside of marriage) great devastation can occur. Everyone knows the risk of unwanted pregnancy and STD’s. However, there’s also the risk of premarital sex preventing young relationships from continuing long-term because it often stunts the tender development of other areas of crucial intimacy, such as spiritual, emotional, and mental. In addition, sexual intimacy creates a chemical connection that binds two people together, leading to heartache and regret when relationships end because of the special physical bond that was created. More and more, sex preserved for marriage is viewed as outdated and old fashioned. However, it’s essential we come back to this ageless truth to live out God’s design and experience His blessings from it.
Unfortunately, our culture has experienced a loosening of sexual behavior over the past 50 years. Media giants learned early on that “sex sells.” Therefore, they use it every moment they can by lacing sensuality through commercials, ads, programs, movies, etc. Many Christian men allow themselves to be inundated with these images and messages and have not trained their hearts and minds for purity by filtering through this daily bombardment. Instead, they often have varying levels of sexual indulgence ranging from pornography to lusting over women’s bodies they see in the media and public. Without a doubt, God created men to be visual and to feel attracted to the female body, which is clear in multiple Scripture passages dating back to B.C. “…Your graceful legs are like jewels, the work of an artist’s hands. Your navel is a rounded goblet that never lacks blended wine…Your breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle…Your hair is like royal tapestry…Your stature is like that of the palm, and your breasts like clusters of fruit. I said, “I will climb the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit. May your breasts be like clusters of grapes on the vine…and your mouth like the best wine” (Song of Solomon 7:1-9, NIV). However, this God given desire for the female body has gone into overdrive with most married men feeding their sexual appetite with unholy sensuality from their environment. When this occurs, the man’s sex drive soars, he begins objectifying women without any emotional connection, and it creates unrealistic expectations for how female bodies should look and how women should respond during sexual contact.
Six Steps to Fulfilling Christian Sex Within Marriage
1-Husbands need to strive towards sexual purity
The first step to more satisfying sexual intimacy within marriage is for husbands to clean up their sexual practices. Men need to develop eyes for their wife and their wife alone. They need to put filters on their computers and TVs so no sensuality is accessible. They need to cancel all magazines and newspapers that feed them sexually. They need accountability partners to discuss their sexual purity with on a regular basis. They need a heart change where they become more motivated on glorifying God than gratifying their lustful desires. They need to view each sensually arousing linger on another woman beyond their wife as a sin. “But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality….” (Ephesians 5:3, NIV). In essence, they need to starve the sexual beast within that has been having a well fed diet for years and years. They need to regain control of their sexuality rather than feeling like it controls them. They also need to become transparent with their wives by sharing their sexual temptations and struggles in order to build trust and collaboration. The road is steep and the challenges are immense, but it can be done.
2- Husbands must understand and respect their wife’s need for emotional sex before having physical sex
Wives need to have emotional sex before they can have physical sex and emotional sex is anything that helps a woman feel special, cherished, and emotionally close. During the dating phase, men usually wine and dine their girlfriend through lots of quality time, conversation, fun activities, love letters, etc. However, most men stop these activities after marriage yet expect to have sex regularly without realizing how important those behaviors are for women to feel open to sexual intimacy. Robert Lewis said it well in his ten second, ten point rule. He said married men tend to be ready for sex after about ten seconds of visual stimuli from their wife, such as her getting out of the shower, changing into her PJ’s, etc. However, most women tend to be ready for sex after ten points and a point is anything that makes her feel special and close, such as having an intimate conversation, making them a cup of coffee, calling them during the day to see how they’re doing, etc. Therefore, the best way for men to cultivate sexual intimacy in their marriage is to cultivate the emotional intimacy first. God is clever and it’s no coincidence that if a husband is doing his part by courting his wife in these ways, his number one need for sexual intimacy is often fulfilled. However, if he becomes complacent and stops courting his wife, there’s an immediate natural consequence with her turning away from sexual contact, which is a perfect built in accountability system.
3- Husbands need to increase their quality time, emotional closeness, and non-sexual touch
Men’s rate of affection tends to increase when they want to have sex with their wife and some men will only touch their wife when they want to be sexual. Understandably, this makes most women resentful and suspicious towards touch because they know there are ulterior motives. In contrast, women want to feel like touch is an authentic extension of their husband’s love towards them and not a ploy to get their sexual needs met. Therefore, men need to make it a daily practice to provide physical affection without any sexual expectations in return. In addition, husbands need to provide daily emotional closeness through sharing their thoughts and feelings and spending quality time together. Most women need to feel this level of connection before they are open to sexual contact.
4- Wives need to embrace their sexuality
Flipping the switch from sex being evil to something beautiful after saying “I do” can be extremely difficult. Therefore, it’s important for wives to remember that God desires for married couples to fully enjoy sexuality. “Eat, friends; drink and imbibe deeply, O lovers” (Song of Solomon 5:1, NASB). Christian women often struggle giving themselves permission to be sensual within marriage and may need time to see it as a healthy part of who they are. “….May my beloved come into his garden and eat its choice fruits” (Song of Solomon 4:16, NASB). Women need to meditate on being a sexual creature and talk with other women who are further along in this journey to learn how they can embrace their sensuality. They need to work through cognitions that may be causing inhibition, such as “sex is dirty, sex is a sin, Christians can’t be sexy,” etc. Learning how to embrace sensuality is essential because sexual inhibition will compromise their sexual pleasure and their husband’s. Married couples should spend time reflecting and discussing their experiences with sexuality growing up. What types of messages did they hear and what types of experiences did they have? Was sex portrayed as something beautiful or sinful? Was sex something to be cherished or something dirty? Understanding one another’s background and what has impacted their sexual development is essential to moving forward as a married unit in physical oneness.
5-Wives need to realize sex is one of the most powerful ways to bless their marriage
Women need to understand and respect their husband’s deep need for sexual fulfillment instead of judging it. Most women feel disgusted with their husband’s consistent drive for sex rather than accepting it as part of how God has made them. Also, they must recognize a man’s need for sexual intimacy is just as valid as their need for emotional intimacy. Men crave sex to feel connected, to relieve stress, to celebrate a happy occasion, to offset feeling depressed, etc. For men, sex is often a magic bullet that satisfies many urges. In addition, husbands who are sexually satisfied will be less susceptible to sexual sin elsewhere. A recipe for disaster is a wife who is sexually closed off and a husband filled with sensuality everywhere he turns. Therefore, women need to remember that their bodies and sexuality is one of the most powerful ways God has given them to bless their marriages.
6-Wives need to have sex for the right reasons
Because most men have higher sex drives than their wives, women often find themselves having sex just to get it over with or to avoid having a conflict about it. While it’s admirable for women to be sensitive to their husband’s need for sexual intimacy, if the majority of the time they are doing it simply to “meet his needs” then it will usually make things even worse for both of them. Continually having sex out of obligation usually decreases desire by building resentment and dread towards physical intimacy. In addition, men can often tell when their wives are approaching sex as a chore rather than as an opportunity for authentic connection. Therefore, wives need to be mindful of their motives for being sexual to discern if “just to get it over with” is occurring the majority or the minority of the time. To increase libido, wives need to openly communicate with their husband on things he could do to help maximize her natural desire, which is probably related to point number two above. In addition, women need to reflect on the times when they did have natural sexual desire to determine what was different, what worked, what contributed to it and how could those elements be replicated now. Doing so will be a win/win by helping wives look more forward to sexual contact as something enjoyable for them as well, which will also create more sexually satisfying encounters for their husband.
When the above six guidelines are followed, a beautiful dynamic is created where sexual intimacy becomes a fulfilling activity for both partners that binds their hearts, minds, bodies, and spirits, just as God intended.

Dr. Buchanan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at St. Thomas More College. She studies the developmental significance of peer relationships across the lifespan. Her doctoral work examined how social status and gender conformity within the peer group predicts different forms of adolescent peer victimization. Dr. Buchanan’s current program of research explores how young adults’ psychosocial functioning may be related to both positive peer interactions (e.g., friendships and romantic relationships) and negative peer interactions (e.g., peer victimization) during the transition from adolescence to emerging adulthood, particularly within the context of post-secondary education.


Honestly, I still want you back. I don’t Feel I'm able to at any time find anyone such as you and I are miserable with no you.

But all That could be a little bit Highly developed and doesn’t genuinely slide On this subject matter. In spite of everything, this information is nearly utilizing texts to acquire your ex boyfriend or ex girlfriend back again. And we’ve previously lined a great deal into that.
Now my issue: is he considering a dialogue with me? Or really should I let it go? I might Assume he would initiate if he was – my male mates all claims: ‘he’ll locate a method to Make contact with you if he wants you’. Can it be often like that with men? or ought to I send out another text – In that case which a single? I suppose Yet another problem might be Bizarre…
Therefore if you will get a few replies but then she stops replying, should I just hold out a few days prior to striving again or what’s the sport prepare should they cease replying?
Similarly, if Anytime, You aren't guaranteed about what your ex is indicating or If they're remaining sarcastic, it’s this content best to talk to them clearly whatever they imply as an alternative to trying to figure out what they intended.
After you discover yourself in this type of problem, stop ideal there! Do you continue to harbor thoughts for your ex? Do you would like to hold your ex back again in your arms after again? If you have answered Indeed then it is the perfect time to quit moping and begin to do some Check This Out winning. Certainly, you may get your ex back again.
Listed here’s my Problem, my ex girlfriend broke up with me in April stating she wanted Area and time for you to improve (small version). None of the was completed from anger from her she reported we may be friends fundamentally. So I wasn’t happy I used to be hurt. We text back again-and-forth that working day she dropped the bomb on me I obliged her needs. I Enable three weeks pass ,I Speak to her by using textual content and inquire if we could communicate? She responds Of course but states not at the moment she’s from town and gained’t be back till the subsequent week. I contact her the working day she was supposed to return to request what might be a good time for you to phone? So she responded asked if I had been trying to get her back again? ‘ I reported Of course/no only mainly because I didn’t want to elucidate by text. The she suggests ‘very well you already know I wasn’t joyful’.. what Would you like to mention ? So I sent an audio concept that was an apology and that I didn’t want her out of my existence even though we had been just friends was neat. Just after listening she states I Don’t determine what to Imagine or the way to sense and I’m even now outside of town. So I say a little something along the traces properly I are aware of it’s a tad A lot hit me whenever you get again.
– When they discuss, definitely listen to them. Endeavor to understand how they experience and take a look at to determine matters from their viewpoint.
You acquire a relationship and believe in with an individual you expend a great deal of time with. Return to the start of your relationship with your ex.
Let's say your split up was definitely bad? Let's say you manufactured many faults after the breakup? Imagine if you acted needy, desperate, creepy and maybe even stalky? Imagine if you cheated on your ex? Imagine if your ex cheated on you?
Do you see how all the above answers are about what you want instead of your ex or your marriage?
The only thing that is necessary by Dr.Twaha to Solid the get your ex back forever spell in your case would be the Photograph of you and your ex, both yours and your exes names together with have a peek here the date of start.

We all know that stress is a major contributor when it comes to a variety of health issues but chronic stress can also affect your relationships. More and more research proves that stress can be a relationship “killer.”
A 2015 Swiss study showed that relationships are worse off when people are under stress. Researchers surveyed over 100 couples about their stress over the previous year and found that “external stress—conflicts with friends, financial problems, long work hours—bled over into their relationships. The more daily hassles participants experienced outside the home, the more stress they had in their relationship and the less satisfied they felt with it. Women’s external stress was particularly detrimental, linked not only to their own relationship stress and dissatisfaction but to men’s as well.”
The top way to combat external stress’ impact on your relationship? Support! A follow-up Swiss study showed that when a stressed partner fails to get the support he or she needs, they feel isolated or ignored by their partner. If both partners are stressed—as is so often the case when modern couples juggle work and family—this is even more likely to happen.
So what can you do? Make it a point to talk out your problems with each other and ensure your partner that you have their back. Dr. Michael Mantell, PhD and national presenter and media spokesperson for the American Council on Exercise, suggested five tips to save your relationship from stress.
1. Create a plan on how you as a couple can overcome negative reactivity
2. Take measures to reduce your own stress levels through yoga or regular massage
3. Encourage your partner to R-E-L-A-X
4. Prioritize your commitment to each other
5. Ask for help
At Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa, we’re in the de-stress business so we know that regular massage is proven to help overcome stress. Study after study proves that massage can help reduce stress. And what can be better than sharing regular massage together?
Our spas have a dedicated couple’s room so our couples can enjoy massages together. Many of our happy, loving couples simply book time together but enjoy separate massage or facials to help them recharge at their own pace. What’s better for a stress-free date night than an early dinner followed by a relaxing massage or facial?
We’ve made it affordable too! Many Hand & Stone spas offer a substantial spouse or family discount. And what could be better than showing your love a little love on Valentines and giving them a spa package to de-stress. It’s a win-win-win for your partner, for you, and for your relationship.

How to swing, we tell you everything
Would you like to have sex with other people and your partner can do it too? Swinging is an increasingly common practice these days, as shown by the effervescence of specialized clubs. How to Swing
What is swinging?
There are libertine couples who practice sexual swinging. So swinging could be defined as a non-monogamous sexual activity which is practiced as a couple and which allowsbroaden your sexual horizon. Its practice includes several activities carried out between one or more people.
How to get started in the world of swinging?
Well, you are now one of those libertine couples who want to enjoy their sexuality, very well. Where to start ? The problem is that the fact of embarking on anything without having knowledge, it can be a headache. Can you do it? Of course, but you will avoid problems if you already know the basics.
Experiences and errors are important points in the kitchen, but when the experience includes people, it is not the same thing.
Here are the steps you should follow if you want to get started in the world of swinging.
1. You need to talk to your partner about it
It is very important that there is good communication between the two of you before stepping into this world.
When a couple decides to embrace this lifestyle and engage in amateur swinging, the partners need to feel comfortable.
You should not hide negative feelings like jealousy.
But if you’re looking to fix things that aren’t working in your relationship, that’s not how you’ll get there. In fact, the exact opposite will happen. On the contrary, you risk destroying everything.
Swinging works in couples who love each other and have a healthy relationship and communicate perfectly.
2. And above all, talk about what type of exchange you want
There are many ways to embrace a swinging lifestyle. You can go to libertine clubs in your cityor at a swinger party in a chalet organized on social networks and you can even participate in a luxury swinger cruise.
There are plenty of options for swinging, but not all of them are going to be right for you.
It’s very important that you talk about it.
3. Set rules
As this is a new lifestyle, it is very important to set certain rules. For example imagine that you go with your partner to a first date in a swingers club. If one of you wants to leave then he will have to speak with his partner first to find out whether she can stay or not.
4. Works by building trust between the two of you
To live this non-monogamous lifestyle, it is essential to work on the aspects of your personality that could make it not work.
In general, we do not advise a jealous person to swing. But if even being jealous you are curious enough to start, you should first work on this point of your personality.
5. First try on libertine sites, like Coupdunsoir
If you are attracted by the world of partner-swapping, but you are not yet sure enough to get started in real life, you can try to meet other libertine couples on the internet. And Coupdunsoir is the perfect site for that.
6. It’s better to know the couple you’re going to swing with
For that, dating sites are perfect, but we must not neglect the importance of a real date to meet and talk over a drink.
If things are going well and there’s chemistry, great. Otherwise, you will just have to look for another swinger couple.
7. Look for a swingers club
If you are already ready, the best thing is to search the internet for a swingers club. It is sure that you will be surprised by discovering that there is more in your city than you thought.
Also do your research on the rules of the place you are going to and follow them to the letter. Go well dressed and as presentable as possible, because the first impression is very important in this kind of places.
Advantages and disadvantages of swinging
As with almost everything in life, swinging has its pros and cons. For many libertine couples, this way of life saved their couple, for others it was the opposite….
Main benefits of swinging
- It is possible that the main advantage is that you can have sex with other people without being unfaithful.
- Sex is no longer boring or routine.
- It increases self-esteem. In the world of swinging, it is often the woman who goes with several men, which makes her feel valued. Being with multiple women also makes men feel valued.
- If it’s done well, swinging can increase confidence in couples unconventional.
- If you think about it, it’s a good way to get over one sided love because you can also go alone to a swingers club because it is one activity among many others.
Main disadvantages of swinging
- The main downside, for obvious reasons, is lack of trust. In general, it’s hard to separate sex from love, and swinging can create a lack of confidence. Comparisons will often be unavoidable. The frequency, the duration, the intensity, the size, all these points can be sources of jealousy.
- There may be a certain routine in your couple. If you are used to going to swingers clubs or group sex sessions with other swingers, Finding a classic sexuality can become boring.
- Sexually transmitted diseases. It’s obvious that the more you sleep with other people, the more likely you are to contract STDs.

What is friendship? It could mean a special platonic bond between two people. Friendship can mean many things. It’s doing things together; sharing a secret, laughing at some lame joke, texting to say hello, or calling someone to see how you’re doing, and leaving a piece of cake or chocolate because you’re not up the party was.
Friendship can blossom and last a lifetime. You can be childhood friends and at some point in your life your best friend moves and you lose touch. As a child, you may feel the pain of a lost playmate. After a few days you will get over your grief and find new friends.
As you get older, you may realize the value of friendship. You need good friends to talk about your problems and also share your happiness. You want someone in your life who can be your true best friend through all the good and bad times of your life.
These days it can be a bit difficult to find a real boyfriend. Of course you have your family as the closest circle of friends. Somehow, you may need to step out of your personal comfort zone and find someone else who could be your potential friend for life. So how do you start such a friendship?
You can find friends in your neighbourhood, at school and at work. You start making friends because you’re with these people and that’s how you learn about each other. You choose your friends based on the same likes and dislikes, and simply because you enjoy a good bond and good conversation. In addition, you are looking for considerate friends who care about you; and as a friend you would care just as much.
Keep in mind that friendship is a worthwhile investment. It may not be a financial investment, but rather it is a great investment in relationships. You make it worthwhile by making friends, by being someone’s friend and then creating opportunities to work on this relationship.
There are many good character traits in a true friend. Somehow keep the most important factors close to your heart. You could never go wrong if friends have these traits in their personas.
First, there is a real friend around to help you in your lowest situation. This is someone you can call when you’re in trouble or someone you can rely on for help in difficult times. As soon as you call, your friend comes and is right by your side.
Second, a true friend is someone who gives you emotional or physical support. This person is someone you can trust with your personal problems, a shoulder to cry on, and someone who will just listen to you and not judge you. This true friend encourages you and provides moral support to solve your problems.
In addition, a true friend is one who will fight to defend you. Your friend is behind you and protects you from harm. If some ugly gossip about you reaches your friend, you can expect a well-prepared attack; heated discussions, arguments and to some extent things can get physical. Hopefully there would be no hair pulling and other similar defensive reactions.
In addition, a true friend is committed to helping you grow spiritually and make you a better person. A true friend completes you and helps you grow. In return, you compliment each other perfectly.
Everyone should try their best to be a true friend because by being one, you will potentially make great friends. You can be a true friend because you have control over it; you choose to connect and build unbreakable bonds of friendship with someone who cares and loves you no matter what.

Have you ever considered how DISC profiles prefer to communicate? Identifying people's preferred DISC communication styles is an effective tool to interact better. DISC profiles have preferred DISC communication styles. They have ways that they are more comfortable when interacting with others. Some DISC profiles share similarities and some have differences. However, by understanding how a person prefers to interact, we can then modify our own DISC style to interact more successfully. If we make these adjustments then they will be more engaged and receptive to what we have to say.


Things to remember
Pearson’s correlation coefficient r measures the strength and direction of a mutual relationship between two continuous variables.
negative values of r = negative correlation (e.g. r = -.342)
positive values of r = positive correlation (e.g. r = .512)
The r closer to 1 or -1, the stronger correlation
Coefficients r close to 0 represent a weak correlation
If the p-value is below or equals 0.05 (sometimes 0.01) the correlation is statistically significant
Changing the p-value from 0.05 to 0.01 reduces a Type I error
A statistically significant correlation suggests a reliable relationship, not a strong or weak relationship
The bigger the sample the bigger chance the correlation becomes significant.
Strength of correlation
0.1 – 0.3 weak/small correlation
0.3-0.5 moderate/medium correlation
0.5 -1.0 strong correlation
In the example above, there was a positive moderate correlation between reading and writing (r (62) = .425, p < 0.01).
Children who are better readers tend to be better writers.
This correlation was statistically significant since the p-value was less than 0.01 (p < .01).
The number following r in parentheses signified the degrees of freedom (df), which are related to the sample size.
For a correlation, the degrees of freedom is N – 2. The sample size (N) was 60.

The Relationship Between Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing have been in different departments since the beginning of business, but we question is this the most effective way to succeed? With the latest technologies, including sales force and marketing automation, the gap between sales and marketing is decreasing everyday. When the two functions come together, communication barriers are broken and ultimately if done correctly, revenues increase.
Even though marketing and sales are two very different functions within a company, one cannot survive without the other. Both bring different assets to an organization as a whole. The inherent connection between the two lies in the fact that they share a similar goal: increasing revenue. Marketers generate leads and sales executives close the deal. Both sales professionals and marketers, however, need to work in order to nurture their leads. Because they share this mutual objective, the means in which they accomplish this should complement each other.
CRM software and integrated business operating systems, like GreenRope, increase and promote communication between both sales and marketing. The information that is collected in a CRM helps marketers determine a successful marketing strategy. A marketing team can use analytics to better determine which of their marketing efforts are effective and which could use improvement (see "Is Your MarTech Getting Too High") This powerful information allows an organization to design campaigns aimed at attracting new customers, as well as reinforcing your value to existing customers.
The CRM data collected lets sales people know what their contacts are most interested in by viewing their actions and behaviors. Automation, signup forms, etc. simplify the sales process and shorten the cycle, while providing powerful analytics letting them know what is working and what’s not. Integrated software, like GreenRope, offers sales and marketing teams a deep view of the customer, allowing both to nurture them before they even know it is happening.
Marketing and sales alignment is key to any successful organization. By developing a common vocabulary and establishing respect and trust between sales and marketing teams benefits the company as a whole. Each department must understand what the other is doing while fostering open communication, resulting in common agendas.
The most efficient way to build this relationship is by building common ground, which may depend on establishing shared definitions on what constitutes a lead, what metrics should be used, etc. Having a mutual understanding on how each effort affects the overall acquisition process ensures that all parties are kept accountable. For example, marketing needs to make sure that sales is following up with the leads that come in, where as sales wants to make sure that the leads coming in are sales ready.
For more information about the growing relationship between sales and marketing and how to cultivate this relationship, make sure to visit the GreenRope blog!

If you have been in a relationship for a while and now you want to make it more intimate by having sex with your girlfriend you would also want to know whether she is up for it or not. One way is to ask her directly if she is ready for it. This is perhaps the most honest way to do it. However, regardless what our movies depict, we are still a bit old-fashioned about sex which continues to be a controversial subject. So you want to know whether your girl is ready for sex or not without asking her directly then here are some tips for you.
Does She Bring Up The Word ‘Sex’ Quite Often In Her Conversations?
If your girlfriend wants to have sex with you it is quite likely that she will be talking about it more often. She doesn’t have to be very forthright about the topic but she can talk about it in many different ways. For example, if she is bringing up the topic of sex every now and then even when it is out of context it could mean that she is interested in having sex with you. However, it does not necessarily mean that she is really up for it. It only means that there is a possibility. The more she is talking about sex the more likely it is that she is ready for it. But this is not the only hint you need to rely on. There are other signs as well.
Is She Often Appreciating Your Physical Appearance?
If your girl has started talking a lot about your physical appearance off late, it is quite likely that she has started desiring your body. In this case she will start complimenting your looks and your body rather unusually. For example, she will continuously compliment the built of your body and will be very specific while telling you what she likes the most (such as biceps or abs).
Notice Her Responses While You Are Kissing Her
How does your girl respond when you are kissing her? If she is trying to press her body hard against yours it is quite likely that she is willing to have sex. However, this is not something you can tell while kissing in public. You will have to be kissing her when both of you are alone. Her reactions and her touch will be the giveaway of her intentions. But to know exactly whether she is ready for it or not, you will have to make certain advances too. If you feel that she is completely lost in the moment while kissing you can ask her up front if she is ready to take things to the next level.
Does She Get More Physical With You Now?
If she has started making more than usual physical contacts with you, chances are that she is hinting she is ready to take things to the next level. However, before jumping to any conclusion, you will need to monitor her advancements for some time.
When you are in a serious relationship with your partner, sex should be a natural product of it. You should be comfortable enough to ask her if she is ready for it or not. Even if she is not ready she will not mind you asking it.

- Create and maintain trust-based relationships
- Make people feel heard and valued
- Develop empathy and emotional intelligence
- Stay in the loop of what is going on
In this interactive session, you will practice the six levels of listening and understand how they influence every interaction, conversation and exchange.
- You’ll demonstrate the effect that not listening has on a speaker
- You’ll experience the impact of pretending to listen
- You’ll understand how internal listening can alienate your conversation partners
- You’ll become aware of how we often listen for facts
- You’ll understand the value of listening for emotions

Growing up is never easy, but what’s a girl to do when she’s starting her freshman year of high school and puberty’s left her behind? She stuffs her bra, of course!
Fourteen-year-old Logan Stanley never thought she’d be entering high school with the body of a middle schooler. Not when all her friends have real curves. How is she ever going to catch the eye of eleventh grader Brad Johnson, Middleburg High School’s star quarterback, and her forever crush, looking the way she does?
If she has any hope of at all of getting Brad’s attention, Logan knows she’ll have to become an ‘It’ girl. The kind of girl everyone wants to be friends with and all the guys drool over. Like her older sister, Nicole.
Unfortunately for Logan, the climb up the social status ladder is a lot further up than she’d imagined. Everything seems to be going wrong, including her older sister, Nicole, stealing her boyfriend. At least, the guy she’d hoped would be her first real boyfriend. But Logan isn’t giving Brad up to her sister without a fight.
She proves to Nicole that she can fight every bit as dirty as her sister when it comes to getting what she wants. But is having Brad as a boyfriend really what she wants? Or is there someone better?
Join Logan on her journey as she discovers that life doesn’t always go as planned. And that being a true ‘It’ girl is only a state of mind. You just have to believe!

The original story of the little mermaid is that she must kill the prince in order to be human, and in the end, she loves him too much and kills herself instead.
The artwork is too great not to reblog.
Ok, ok - important expansion: she only has to kill the Prince because the deal was if he fell in love with her she could be human forever, and he didn’t. By which I mean, he was a good person and genuinely nice to her, but he didn’t fall in love. He fell in love with someone else, also perfectly nice - not the seawitch in disguise, fu Disney. The Mermaid is told she can only return to the sea now if she kills the Prince. She goes into the room where he and his lover lie sleeping and they look so beautiful and happy together that she can’t do it.
That’s why she kills herself. And because it was a noble act she returns to sea as foam.
One moral of the story was that women shouldn’t fundamentally change who they are for love of a man, and in theory Han Christian Anderson wrote it for a ballerina with whom he fell in love. She was marrying someone else who wouldn’t let her dance.
Well shit man

However, conceptualizations of empathy are diverse and empirical findings are mixed. Theory as well as previous research suggests that sympathy, more than empathy, may explain how media violence can affect youths’ aggressive or prosocial behavior. The present study formally tests this assumption using a three-wave longitudinal design with 878 early adolescents. Although neither sympathy nor empathy provided a significant indirect pathway between media violence and social behavior, the findings do show that sympathy is more strongly related to media violence and social behavior than empathy Methodological challenges and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Abstract: Despite the crucial role of humor in t(w)eens’ media entertainment, we lack a theoretically-informed approach to investigate the prevalence and co-occurrence of humor types in such entertainment. Therefore, this study tested a coding framework of humor in t(w)eens’ media entertainment by content-analyzing 107 television series (5,633 scenes) listed by 10- to 14-year-olds as their favorite. Results confirmed ten humor types (aggressive, slapstick, self-defeating, sexual, irreverent, coping, parody, wordplay, incongruity, absurdity), with aggressive humor most often and coping humor least often present (in 87.9% versus 23.4% of series respectively). Humor types also frequently co-occurred, highlighting the need to revise existing theories.

Abstract: Cognitive, emotional, and arousal responses to media content stem from two sources of variation: differences in content and differences between individuals. Although the first source of variation (content effects) has been well-studied, individual differences (person effects) in responses to media are investigated much less within communication science. To help build this comparatively thin area of scholarship, this study investigated how four theoretically-relevant variables (need for cognition, affective empathy, sensation seeking, and sensory processing sensitivity) affected responses to positive and negatively-valenced media entertainment. In a within-subjects design, 243 youth aged 7-15 years (49.9% female) responded to a positive and negative film clip using both self-report and physiological measures (heart rate and skin conductance), while parents reported on individual differences. Multilevel analysis was used to distinguish between media content effects and individual differences in responses. Results showed that more variation in responses was due to differences between participants than to differences between stimuli. However, need for cognition, affective empathy, sensation seeking, and sensory processing sensitivity did not significantly explain this between-participant variation in responses. Several conceptual and methodological take-aways are offered to advance our understanding of the relationships between stable individual differences and state responses to media.

Abstract: This study investigated the longitudinal relationship between children’s digital game use and fluid and crystallized intelligence. Specifically, this study examined whether digital games affect children’s fluid and crystallized intelligence (an effects perspective), whether children with higher levels of fluid or crystallized intelligence are more attracted to digital games (a selection perspective), or whether evidence supports a reciprocal relationship between digital game play and intelligence. Using data from 934 children aged 3 to 7 years (52% girls) across four waves with one-year intervals, our evidence for fluid intelligence indicates partial support for the effects perspective and no support for the selection perspective. For crystallized intelligence, our findings did not reveal any significant relationship with digital game use. The results suggest that digital games can move the needle for fluid intelligence, but more insight is needed to identify how this effect occurs, in which situations, and for which children this is most likely.

Van der Wal, A., Fikkers, K.M., & Valkenburg, P.M. (2019). What’s in it for them? Teens’ differential preferences for types and contexts of televised aggression. Communication Research. doi:10.1177/0093650219832231
Abstract: The effect of teens’ exposure to televised aggression depends on the characteristics of the viewer and the portrayed aggression. However, few studies have investigated which teens prefer what forms of televised aggression. Therefore, this study investigated how teens’ trait aggression and sex guide their preferences for types (physical, verbal, and indirect) and contextual features of televised aggression (reward, punishment, justification, graphicness, realism, and humor). A linkage analysis combined survey data of 156 teens (balanced for trait aggression and sex, age 10-14 years) with a content analysis of 4,839 scenes from their favorite television programs. Aggressive teens preferred more physical aggression than less aggressive teens. Trait aggression was not related to preferences for contextual features of aggression. Boys preferred more physical aggression than girls, as well as more realistic, graphic, justified, rewarded, and punished aggression. This study underscores the importance of distinguishing between different viewers and forms of televised aggression.

Abstract: This study evaluated whether common self-report measures of television and game violence exposure represent reliable and valid measurement tools. Three self-report measures – direct estimates, user-rated favorites, and agency-rated favorites – were assessed in terms of test retest reliability, criterion validity (their relationship with coded media diaries), and construct validity (their relationship with aggression and gender). A total of 238 adolescents participated in a two-wave survey and completed two media diaries. For game violence, the three self-report measures were reliable and valid. For television violence, only direct estimates achieved test-retest reliability and construct validity. Criterion validity could not be established for the television violence measures because the media diary was not a valid criterion for television violence. Our findings indicate that both direct estimates and favorites are valid measures for game violence, whereas for television violence only direct estimates are valid. We conclude with a discussion about ways to further improve upon and reconceptualize media violence exposure measurement.

Abstract: This two-wave survey study investigated the concurrent and longitudinal relationships between different styles of restrictive and active parental mediation (autonomy-supportive, controlling, or inconsistent), adolescents’ media violence exposure, and aggression. Our sample consisted of 1029 adolescents (10–14 years; 49.8% girls). Results indicate that restrictive mediation communicated in an autonomy-supportive style was concurrently related to decreased aggression via decreased media violence exposure. In contrast, inconsistent restrictive mediation was concurrently related to increased aggression via increased media violence exposure. No significant relationships were found for controlling restrictive mediation. None of the restrictive mediation styles were longitudinally related to media violence exposure and aggression. Active mediation moderated neither the concurrent nor the longitudinal relationships between media violence exposure and aggression – regardless of the style used. Findings suggest that autonomy-supportive restriction may be an effective route for parents who are concerned about their child’s media violence exposure and aggressive behavior.

Abstract: Cognitive, emotional, and arousal responses to violent games play a central role in theoretical explanations of how violent media may affect aggression. However, existing research has focused on a relatively narrow range of responses to violent games in experimental settings. This limits our understanding of whether and how violent game-induced responses relate to aggression in real life. To address these gaps, this study investigated how cognitive effort, emotional valence, and arousal in response to violent games relate to early adolescents’ aggression, both cross-sectionally and over a period of one year. In addition, we investigated how a social context variable (i.e., family conflict) predicts these responses to violent games and subsequent aggression. A sample of 448 early adolescents (10–14 years) completed survey questions and media diaries that measured their responses to violent games. Results showed that, outside the lab, a positive cross-sectional relationship between violent game-induced arousal and aggression exists. In addition, arousal mediated the relationship between family conflict and aggression. Study findings justify increased research attention to media responses outside the lab and a need for further theoretical and methodological refinement.

Abstract: This study investigated the role of a social context variable, perceived peer norms, in the relationship between media violence exposure and adolescents’ aggressive behavior. This was informed by a need to better understand whether, how, and for whom media violence exposure may affect aggression. Three hypotheses were tested with peer norms as moderator, as mediator, and as both moderator and mediator in the relationship between media violence and aggression. A two-wave longitudinal survey measured media violence exposure, perceived descriptive and injunctive norms, and aggressive behavior among 943 adolescents (aged 10 to 14, 50.4% girls). Results provided support only for the moderated-mediation model. The indirect effect of media violence on aggression via perceived peer approval of aggression (i.e., injunctive norms) was moderated by perceived prevalence of peer aggression (i.e., descriptive norms). Specifically, media violence indirectly increased aggressive behavior
for adolescents who perceived more peer aggression, but decreased aggression for adolescents who perceived less peer aggression. Implications for future research into media violence effects are discussed.

Abstract: Fictional narratives can have strong effects on people’s real world opinions, attitudes, and behavior. Given the far-reaching implications these effects may have, understanding when and how narratives can have such effects is important. One frequent claim about narrative impact is that stories can disable people’s ability to critically evaluate the issue. In an experiment, optimal conditions were created to assess whether readers came up with issue-relevant thoughts and to what extent such thoughts influenced the participants’ attitude. The impact of issue-relevant thoughts was compared to that of another mechanism of narrative persuasion: identification. Participants (N = 138) read a story including a discussion scene on a personally relevant issue. The manipulation consisted of the main character being in favor of or against a certain issue. Participants identified more strongly with the main character than with the antagonist. A mediation analysis revealed that identifying with the character being in favor of the issue yielded a more positive attitude toward the issue. A considerable number of participants generated issue-relevant thoughts that proved predictive of the attitude. The experiment provides further evidence for the identification mechanism while revealing insights into how integration of explicit argumentative content into a narrative can influence issue-relevant thinking.

Abstract: We investigated how exposure to media violence and family conflict affects adolescents’ subsequent aggressive behavior. We expected a double dose effect, meaning that high media violence exposure would lead to higher levels of aggression for adolescents in high conflict families compared to low conflict families. A total of 499 adolescents (aged 10 to 14, 48% girls) participated in a two-wave longitudinal survey (4-month interval). Survey questions assessed their exposure to violence on television and in electronic games, family conflict, and aggressive behavior. Analyses revealed a significant interaction between media violence and family conflict. In families with higher conflict, higher media violence exposure was related to increased subsequent aggression. This study is the first to show a double dose effect of media violence and family conflict on adolescents’ aggression. These findings underscore the important role of the family in shaping the effects of adolescents’ media use on their social development.
Fikkers, K.M., & Valkenburg, P.M. (2013). Reasons for Consuming Violent Entertainment. In M.S. Eastin (Ed.), Encyclopedia of Media Violence, pp 318-320. SAGE Publications.
Abstract: For many years, researchers have wondered what people find attractive in violent entertainment. Why do people watch movies like ‘Saw’ or play first-person shooter games like ‘Call of Duty’? The answer to this question is highly relevant, because convincing evidence exists that individuals who are more attracted to violent entertainment are also more likely to be affected by it, that is, become more aggressive. It is therefore remarkable that research into the appeal of such entertainment has received far less attention than research into its effects. This entry discusses the most common reasons for consuming violent entertainment.

New parents hear a lot about ‘bonding’ – but what does it actually mean and how does it happen?
The bonding process is the intense connection that develops between parents and their infant. The strong ties that form – often before the baby is even born – foster a sense of security and positive self-esteem for the baby and are thought to influence the infant’s future close relationships and emotional development.
Bonding is a process, rather than event, as it continually evolves at a different pace and in a different way for all parents. For some, bonding comes naturally, while others may need some support and help. The parents’ responsiveness to an infant’s cues directly affect bonding – tuning in to what a baby needs and is ‘saying’ enhances bonding, while ignoring a baby can disturb the bonding process.
Touch is one of the most important elements of bonding – and is also the first sense that babies develop in the womb. Newborn babies feel safe and secure when they are kept in close physical contact with their mother, who can even regulate her temperature to benefit the baby. Skin-to-skin contact causes a release of a range of hormones – in both the baby and the parent – that promote caring and loving behaviour. Baby massage is a good example of nurturing touch between parent and child.
Eye contact is another bonding tool we have, and it can be a vital connecting link between parent and child. When a parent gives a positive response to an infant looking directly at them, it affirms their existence and boosts self-esteem. It also helps the parents feel close to their babies when they spend time looking into their infant’s eyes.
Being able to recognise and smell the odour of your baby – and for a baby to be able to smell you -is also reassuring and enhances bonding. Parents and infants that are in close contact with each other will be comforted by each other’s smells – often without realising. Scientific experiments have shown that mothers recognise their babies by smell alone at just a few days old – and sometimes earlier.
Hearing and speaking between parent and infant is another bonding tool. Babies hear their parents’ voices before birth and continue to be reassured by listening to its parents – especially when they use ‘parentese’ or ‘baby talk’ -the special high-pitched tones reserved just for them. And when a baby responds to the parent’s speech with their own gurgle or noise, parents also receive positive feedback that their baby is enjoying being ‘talked’ to.
Likewise, crying is key form of communication for babies and, when parents respond appropriately to their baby’s cries by truly listening to what the baby is communicating, they are enhancing a bond between them.
It may seem simple but smiling is also an element of bonding. The giving and receiving of smiles creates a powerful feeling of love and attachment between parent and baby.
Feeding is an important part of bonding and, when it’s going well, it can be a lovely time spent between parent and child. Breastfeeding mothers are flooded with hormones such as oxytocin while feeding that enhance feelings of attachment towards their baby – and the baby also receives these via the milk. Research has also shown that fathers’ hormone levels can also be positively affected by spending time feeding a young baby.
There are many ways to bond with your baby and every parent-infant relationship
will have its own dynamics.
