Just as I took a big gulp of water, I hear:
LS: Why won’t she go out with me?
Secretary: She’s getting over her relationship with MacGuiver.
LS: The guy with the talking car?
Secretary: No. MacGuiver. He makes something out of nothing.
LS: You mean he’s a drama queen?
On hearing this, I immediately choked on my water and had to spew it all over my carpet while gasping for air.
Damn you, Larry Sanders. Damn you to Hell.


I was recently reminded of this article on falling in love… it is a great read whether you’re trying to fall in love or not. I especially like the last part where you stare into each other’s eyes. It’s true that we almost never stare into a person’s eyes unless we are falling in love (or as a newborn infant bonding with a trusted caregiver, still only briefly before averting their gaze to self-soothe).
In graduate school, we endured a similar rite of passage—we had to sit knee to knee and stare into the eyes of a stranger for about 20 minutes. We weren’t trying to fall in love, but it was really something. Pretty profound.
No matter whose soul you are diving into, this article reminds us to look at each other, to truly know each other, and to remain intimately attached.

Understanding relationships between regulated members and patients
April 17, 2019
ACP’s standards prohibit sexual relationships between regulated members and patients. However, depending on the circumstances and criteria that must be met, there may be situations when a sexual relationship between a regulated member and a patient or former patient may be appropriate.
On April 1, 2019, the Health Professions Act was amended to protect patients from sexual abuse and sexual misconduct from health professionals. As required, ACP has developed Standards of Practice for Sexual Abuse and Sexual Misconduct.
The standards prohibit sexual relationships between regulated members and patients. The standards also include explanations of specific exceptions describing when it may be appropriate for a regulated member to have a sexual relationship with a patient and the criteria that must be met before entering into a sexual relationship with a former patient.

“Exploring Relationships in the Digital Age: Insights from ‘The Social Network'” is a study that delves into the dynamics of relationships in the context of the digital age, using the film ‘The Social Network’ as a case study. This analysis aims to shed light on the impact of social media platforms on interpersonal connections, the complexities of online relationships, and the potential consequences of virtual interactions on real-life interactions. By examining the themes and character relationships portrayed in the film, this study offers valuable insights into the evolving nature of relationships in the digital era.
The Impact of Social Media on Modern Relationships
In today’s digital age, social media has become an integral part of our lives. It has revolutionized the way we communicate, connect, and form relationships. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter have made it easier than ever to stay connected with friends, family, and even strangers from around the world. However, with the rise of social media, there has also been a significant impact on modern relationships.
One of the most notable effects of social media on relationships is the way it has changed the dynamics of communication. In the past, couples would rely on face-to-face conversations, phone calls, or even handwritten letters to express their thoughts and feelings. Now, with the advent of social media, couples can communicate instantly through messaging apps, video calls, and even public posts on each other’s profiles.
While this may seem like a positive development, it has also brought about new challenges. With the constant availability of communication, couples may feel pressured to always be connected and responsive. This can lead to feelings of anxiety and insecurity if one partner feels ignored or neglected. Additionally, the public nature of social media can sometimes lead to misunderstandings or misinterpretations of messages, causing unnecessary conflicts.
Another aspect of social media’s impact on relationships is the way it has changed the concept of privacy. In the past, couples would have private conversations and intimate moments that were shared only between them. Now, with the prevalence of social media, these moments can be easily shared with a wide audience. While some couples may enjoy sharing their relationship milestones and experiences with others, it can also lead to a loss of intimacy and a sense of privacy.
Furthermore, social media has also made it easier for individuals to reconnect with past partners or form new connections outside of their current relationship. With just a few clicks, one can search for and connect with old flames or even start new relationships with strangers. This ease of access to potential partners can create temptations and challenges for couples, leading to trust issues and infidelity.
The impact of social media on relationships is not limited to romantic partnerships. It has also affected friendships and family dynamics. With the constant stream of updates and photos on social media, individuals may feel pressured to present a perfect image of their lives. This can lead to feelings of envy, inadequacy, and even resentment among friends and family members. Additionally, the constant comparison to others’ seemingly perfect lives can create unrealistic expectations and dissatisfaction within relationships.
Despite these challenges, social media can also have positive effects on relationships. It allows couples to stay connected even when physically apart, share experiences and memories, and support each other through difficult times. It can also provide a platform for open communication and discussions about important topics. However, it is crucial for individuals to be mindful of the potential pitfalls and challenges that social media can bring to relationships.
In conclusion, social media has undoubtedly had a significant impact on modern relationships. It has changed the way we communicate, share, and connect with others. While it has brought about new opportunities for connection and communication, it has also created challenges and potential pitfalls. It is important for individuals to navigate the digital landscape mindfully, being aware of the potential impact on their relationships and taking steps to maintain trust, privacy, and open communication.
Navigating Online Dating and its Effects on Relationship Building
In today’s digital age, the way we form and maintain relationships has drastically changed. With the rise of social media and online dating platforms, it has become easier than ever to connect with others and potentially find a romantic partner. However, this shift in the dating landscape has also brought about its own set of challenges and complexities.
One of the most significant changes in relationship building is the prevalence of online dating. Gone are the days of meeting someone organically through mutual friends or chance encounters. Instead, people are turning to dating apps and websites to find their perfect match. While this may seem convenient and efficient, it also raises questions about the authenticity and depth of these connections.
In the movie “The Social Network,” which tells the story of the creation of Facebook, we get a glimpse into the world of online dating and its effects on relationship building. The film portrays the journey of Mark Zuckerberg as he creates a social networking site that eventually becomes a global phenomenon. Throughout the movie, we see how the characters navigate the complexities of online relationships and the impact it has on their personal lives.
One of the main themes explored in “The Social Network” is the idea of self-presentation in the digital realm. In the film, we see how individuals carefully curate their online profiles to present themselves in the best possible light. This can lead to a sense of inauthenticity, as people may feel pressured to present an idealized version of themselves rather than their true selves. This can create unrealistic expectations and hinder genuine connection.
Another aspect of online dating highlighted in the movie is the paradox of choice. With so many potential matches at our fingertips, it can be overwhelming to navigate the dating landscape. This abundance of options can lead to a phenomenon known as “choice paralysis,” where individuals struggle to make a decision due to the fear of missing out on something better. This can hinder the development of meaningful relationships, as people may constantly be searching for the next best thing.
Furthermore, the movie also explores the impact of social media on relationship dynamics. In today’s digital age, it is common for individuals to connect and communicate through platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. While these platforms can facilitate connection, they can also create a sense of distance and detachment. People may feel more comfortable expressing themselves online, but this can lead to a lack of intimacy and emotional connection in real-life interactions.
Despite these challenges, online dating and social media can also have positive effects on relationship building. They provide opportunities for individuals to connect with others who share similar interests and values. They can also help break down geographical barriers, allowing people to form connections with individuals from different parts of the world. Additionally, online dating can be a useful tool for individuals who may struggle with traditional dating methods, such as those with social anxiety or limited social circles.
In conclusion, navigating online dating and its effects on relationship building is a complex and multifaceted process. While it offers convenience and opportunities for connection, it also presents challenges such as self-presentation, choice paralysis, and the impact of social media. By being aware of these challenges and approaching online dating with a sense of authenticity and intentionality, individuals can navigate the digital landscape and form meaningful connections in the digital age.
In conclusion, the movie “The Social Network” provides valuable insights into the dynamics and complexities of relationships in the digital age. It highlights the impact of technology on human connections, the challenges of navigating online interactions, and the potential consequences of pursuing success at the expense of personal relationships. Through its portrayal of the creation and growth of Facebook, the film sheds light on the complexities of friendship, betrayal, and ambition in the digital era. Overall, “The Social Network” serves as a thought-provoking exploration of relationships in the context of the digital age.


Say “I Love You.”
“Say “I love you'” by Kanae Hazuki is a romance comedy slice of life shojo manga and Anime. The anime adaptation aired between Oct. 6th and Dec. 30th 2012 it consisted of 13 episodes.
It’s about a quite reclusive girl Mei Tachibana who has a hard time trusting others because of an incident when she was younger. Through a less than desirable circumstance Mei meets the Popular Yamato Kurosawa and shortly after nearly kicks him in the face. Yamato takes an interest in the odd Mei who wants nothing to do with him fearing imminent betrayal. After saving her and continuing to pursue getting to know her Yamato gets Mei to open up to him slowly and she becomes friends with him and a few of his friends.
Many of the characters have their own problems that are very real and common, this story shows how important having friends and being honest with yourself and others is. I really enjoyed this series, it was cute and heartwarming and touched on some very real high school issues many people face.
Have you watched or read Say “I Love You”? What did you think about it? Let me know in the comments. ^-^

Welcome to Crazy Town.
I'm trying to get back on track at Second Hope Rehabilitation Centre.
Daddy to the two most beautiful girls to grace the earth.
Poppy Maria and Callie Quinn <3
The most wonderful wife in the world
Ask me anything


I have love for my the fellow human being, especially the ones who I love.
My daughter and my sister are both my warm family and best friends.
Each in their own way.
I consider myself a happy and wealthy person, with a lovely family and wonderful friends.
In the diversity of friendships we share our bond 'through thick and thin'.
Accepting each other, communicating, listening and mutual understanding.
Even if you differ in way of thinking and characters, respect and appreciation is a great asset. Laugh together, cry together. Delicious!
Pronouncing the word choice 'friend' is such an easy automatism. Of course you can be wrong sometimes. There is a nice word for it and it is called 'letting go'. After all, it's all about smooth interaction.
You have to earn friendship and that starts with trust.
After all, trust is building.
Loyalty and discretion are as clear as day. That's how my friends know me too and mutually, otherwise the substantive meaning of friendship is unworthy.
Wherever I stay, I always meet people of all different degrees.
A spontaneous life also brings pleasantly warm surprises. Recently in Greece, where I enjoyed the Mediterranean climate.
I met lovely people Maria & Babis, Christos. A unique friendship with mutual trust and respect has proven itself in a short time. Special to experience this too!
My friends, with whom I each have a 'story' and have built the ultimate 'through thick and thin', with the 'common thread' being sweet and pure.
Especially for all my dear pure friends on this planet.
Even though you live far away, you are always close in my heart.
THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE!


Creating a strong bond with customers is critical for sustained business growth and profitability in today’s world…
We all know this, but there are so many tools, resources, and influencer voices today telling us how to do it "best," we often get lost in the noise.
Building long-term relationships with customers is like being a friend. A good friend shows up when you need them. They tell you the truth (when you want to hear it). They make you feel individual, special and unique in some way- and connect with you in such a way that you can tell that they care about you.
Building strong relationships with customers is pretty much the same as building a good friendship would- and like a friendship, building strong customer relationships requires time and effort to get it right, but the rewards are well worth it - and that's what we're going to talk about in this article.
Before we get into "the how," let's talk about what makes a strong customer relationship.
In order to build strong customer relationships, it is important to understand the specific needs of your customer.
To accomplish this, eCommerce brands (especially marketing and product teams) need to take the time to listen actively to any questions, or concerns of customers. When companies listen to the customer they build deep connections, making their customers feel heard, which builds mutual trust.
As marketers, we often make the mistake of talking "at" customers. This makes them feel like they're just a transaction or a metric, and not someone we truly care about.
Understanding and addressing customer needs, however, makes them feel understood and appreciated - and this feeling goes a long way towards building strong customer relationships.
Creating a great customer experience is also key to building strong customer relationships. A great customer experience should be tailored to your individual customers' needs - from the first time they interact with you to every step along their customer journey. This requires taking into account not only the customer's current needs but also their past purchases and expectations.
Someone told me that "trust is like a mirror, once it's cracked, it's hard to see the same reflection again." Keeping this in mind, think of relationships with customers as fragile glass mirrors. You must be willing to invest time and effort to achieve long-term, loyal customers who make repeat purchases.
It's also important to remember that, "acquiring a new customer can cost five times more than retaining an existing one." from an article in HBR called, "The Value of Keeping the Right Customers." This statistic highlights the value of investing in and creating long-term business relationships with customers and the impact that they can have on your brand.
One of the tools that can help you achieve these strong customer relationships is Humankind's conversational commerce software. Humankind's platform allows eCommerce brands to have personalized conversations with their customers in real time. By focusing on 1:1 human connection, Humankind is able to help brands provide customers with an unparalleled shopping experience.
Building trust with customers isn't hard. We've talked about the "what" and the "why" in the previous sections- now let's talk about the "how."
If you have a short attention span like I do, here's a quick summary:
Sounds a lot like a friendship!
First and foremost, it's important that your customers know what to expect from you. You can do this by providing good service that is the same every time, talking to them openly and honestly, and keeping your promises. By doing these things, customers will feel more confident about you. This will help them feel more connected with you and know what to expect when they're reaching out for help.
To offer Consistent and Quality Service, businesses should first establish a clear set of performance guidelines for all employees to follow uniformly. Ensure that there is meticulous training provided to each employee, so they understand how each guideline complies with company values and the customer experience we're providing them. Next, measure adherence to these guidelines consistently through anonymous customer feedback surveys.
Continually looking for opportunities to improve customer satisfaction and take remedial actions promptly increases brand reputation dramatically over time. Maintaining an exceptional service experience should not be limited to just one or two departments but prioritized across teams in various roles.
Being honest and truthful while communicating with customers strengthens trust in your brand. Transparent communication is equally important through all channels, including social media, email, website content, and branding material.
Transparency also means addressing customer concerns quickly and sincerely.
Acknowledge mistakes, apologize when needed, give out credit if applicable, and take ownership of the issue. Customers will appreciate it when you take responsibility for the mistake and go out of your way to resolve their issues making it a positive experience.
Grow a customer's trust in you by doing what you say. I know this sounds like a novel concept but you'd be surprised how many companies (big and small) don't honor commitments.
Honoring your word shows that you are reliable, trustworthy, and dependable. Whether it's deadlines or quality standards, fulfilling commitments demonstrates a level of reliability that customers value. Consistency in delivering on promises breeds loyalty and establishes credibility.
To do all three of these things effectively, you need an open line of communication with your customer. Using Humankind's concierge commerce software will give you the opportunity to communicate with your customers on the most powerful channel, the one they never leave behind - SMS.
To cater to customer needs, implement strategies around listening and responding to the feedback that your customers give you. Offer them personalized solutions and anticipate their future needs in this way, you'll create a relationship that goes deeper than the transaction. In the sub-sections, we'll talk about these 3 aspects of building stronger customer relationships to help you create effective solutions that generate customer loyalty.
Listening and responding to customer feedback begins with curiosity, a desire to meet their needs, and an open line of communication. Plus, customers appreciate it when their feedback is acted upon.
Here are four key points on how to listen and respond to customer feedback:
It is also important to keep in mind that every piece of customer feedback is valuable, whether it's positive or negative. It shows what's working well and what needs improvement. To stand out from competitors who may not take feedback seriously, address each comment with empathy, professionalism, and a willingness to improve.
In the age of digital marketing and e-commerce, personalization has become a key differentiator for brands. Personalized interactions, based on a customer’s history and preferences, lead to higher customer satisfaction and loyalty. Studies show that 80% of customers are more likely to purchase from a brand that offers personalized experiences.
What does it mean to offer personalized solutions?
Remember, personalization goes beyond marketing efforts. It should be integrated into every touchpoint of the customer journey, from product discovery to customer service. And this is where Humankind's conversational commerce software comes into play. The platform allows eCommerce brands to offer a one-to-one human connection, enabling you to personalize every interaction with your customers.
One of the best ways to show your customers that you value and understand them is to anticipate their needs before they even realize they have them. This requires understanding their purchasing habits, recognizing patterns, and being proactive in your offerings.
For example, if a customer regularly purchases a certain product from your store every three months, you could remind them when it's time for their next order or even offer a subscription service for convenience. Anticipating customer needs shows that you're attentive and proactive in providing a great customer experience, and this can set you apart from your competitors.
Implementing these strategies with the help of a personal shopper powered by Humankind's conversational commerce software can enhance your brand's ability to be there when your customer needs you.
Strong customer relationships can be recognized through various hallmarks.
Below are some examples:
Building relationships with tough customers can be a challenge... a huge challenge, but it's not impossible. Here are a few strategies that can help your team win over the most difficult customers:
By integrating these practices into team training you can empower your employees to handle tough customers effectively.
Building strong customer relationships is similar to fostering long-term friendships. It requires understanding, effective communication, and consistent effort. By providing consistent, high-quality service, communicating transparently and frequently, honoring commitments, listening to feedback, offering personalized solutions, and anticipating future needs, you can create strong bonds with your customers.
Implementing these strategies may seem challenging, but with tools like Humankind's conversational commerce software, it becomes much easier. This platform not only enables effective communication but also offers a unique opportunity for personalization and can also help you anticipate your customer's needs. By leveraging these tools and strategies, you can foster relationships that not only drive repeat purchases but also turn your customers into loyal advocates for your brand.
Remember, building deep customer relationships is not just about making a sale. It's about making a connection. When you can make your customers feel understood, appreciated, and valued, they're more likely to stick around- which adds more to the bottom line. And that's the heart of customer retention and relationship-building.

The exchange of wedding vows is one of the most special moments of your ceremony. The bride and groom declare their love, make promises, and give themselves over to each other at the altar. It’s beautiful, magical, special and unforgettable. At least it should be. It turns out that some couples have trouble getting “started”, knowing what to write, what is important and what is not.
If you and your future spouse are writing your own vows, you will have the opportunity to create a very personal experience that will move your guests. However, it can be scary too. You will be sharing your most intimate thoughts of love for your fiancé in front of a crowd of people. And you want to be sweet and show how much you love him, without feeling silly or soppy. I’ve put together a few interesting and useful steps to minimise the struggle and help you create your own vows:
You can write your vows on your own or with your groom
If you write by yourself, it will be a different process than writing with him. You also have to decide whether you will say the same vows or different ones. Make sure you talk about it as soon as you decide to write your vows so there are no surprises.
If you don’t know how to start, remember some special moment
Some moment you spent together, or something that drew attention to your personalities, maybe a funny story of both of you. Is he funny? Affectionate? Does he always know exactly the right thing to say? Think of all the things that make your heart beat when you think about him. This will show you and your guests how much you care about him.
It’s nice to talk about when you first fell in love
When did you know you were going to be together forever?
Comment on a joke
Is there any joke that only you two know? You can be sure that only he will understand.
Think about the future and the promises you want to keep
He will spend the rest of his life at your side (hopefully), and you will do everything possible so that each moment is special. What do you want to promise him? This is the chance for you to evaluate the things that make your relationship special and the things that are unique to you. Be specific, but don’t say anything that will embarrass either of you!
Always be honest
This will make your eyes shine, people laugh and words stay in your minds forever.
Don’t extend too much
Be brief, speak slowly and create intonations for the sentences. And write it a few days before the wedding to give time to train in front of the mirror. Try to keep it under 3 minutes. And, if necessary, limit the number of words you two will use.
Writing your vows is a very personal way of showing your love for each other as you promise to share your life together. It’s a unique moment of yours!
The video below is a very good example of amazing personal vows. Watch it and try not to feel emotional:


_________Okay here it is. Your choice. It's simple. Her or me. And I'm sure she's really gr
_______aat. But Derek... I love you.... in a really, really big ... pretend to like your taste
_______in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head ou
_______tside your window...unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. So pi
_______ck me. Choose me. Love me.


Idk my relationship with my siblings is always either “yo I’ll help you hide the body” or “do not even breathe in my direction” there is no in between.
I don’t have a ”type”. If I like you, I like you.
And if I like you, you’re pretty special.
Because I hate everyone.


There are two things that interest me: the relationship of people to each other and the relationship of people to the land.
- Aldo Leopold
Conservation of our natural resources thrives when people feel deep, personal connections to the natural world. Those connections are most powerfully explored and illustrated not through the recitation of facts, figures, and stats, but through communal sharing of stories and memories of our experiences in nature.
Common Ground allowed participants to conduct and record short interviews with people they love, care about, and respect, interviews focused on concrete experiences and memories that help participants explain their love for and connection to the natural world. Common Ground brought together people of all generations, ages, backgrounds, knowledge bases, places of residence, and political persuasions to give voice in their own words to the important role that the natural world plays in their lives. The project aimed to help people not only acknowledge their own connections to the natural world, but also build relationships with others who feel the same. We hope to show that—despite perceived differences—our common (though unique) experiences in nature are fertile ground for building relationships and coming together to work toward a collective goal: the protection of our natural resources.

"We're having dinner, in the garden. At the long table. We're talking about my uncle's favorite dressing. Than my brother tells a story about a train robbery in the north. My grandma starts laughing, she sings a traditional song. It means so much to me, to be with my italian family." -Schradinova.
This song perfectly describes the evening we had in tuscany when we were invited by the apartment-owners to their dinner with the other holidaymakers. A wonderful evening with spaghetti, meat (well, not for me since i'm a vegetarian), bread, cake, wine and of course: the family itself.

11 Years, 11 Tips for a Successful Marriage: It's the Little Things that Kill
Marriage is a lifelong process, and it's often little frictions that erode the relationship.
My wife and I recently celebrated our 11th anniversary. Eleven years doesn’t seem all that long in the context of a lifelong commitment, but a funny thing has happened: people mention our anniversary with a bit of awe and reverence, and even sometimes ask me for marriage advice.
I’m probably one of the worst people to ask for marriage advice. While our relationship is currently better than it’s ever been, it often hasn’t been easy. We’ve both made major mistakes, gone through cold periods, and times of just straight-up resenting each other.
Such is the nature of marriage. It’s easy to have quick, short flings that end as soon as the honeymoon period is over. To commit for the rest of your lives—even as you grow, change, and falter—takes grit.
This is an important topic for preparedness, because what are we surviving for if not those whom we love? And how can we survive if our foundations aren’t solid? How can we work together in a crisis if we want to kill each other?
We’ve discussed the importance of community in preparedness, and there is no more important community than the one in your own home. And a reliable partner is one of the best preparations you can have.
I recently saw a tragic tale of martial woe that has left me in tears, because I see in it so many pitfalls that can plague a marriage. It’s a remind that in a marriage, it’s not the big things, but often the little things that kill.
A Sad Tale of a Broken Marriage
I recently scrolled past this sad story from Reddit, and I haven’t stopped thinking about it:
After my wife kisses me goodbye every morning, I break down crying until I have to work.
I(m45) cheated on my wife (f41). It changed her fundamentally. She has always been this bubbly and cheerful woman with her beautiful smile never leaving her face. She makes everything better and has the ability to make people happy around her wherever she goes. Now she is distant, silent and I haven’t seen her smile since it happened a year ago. When we got back together after a small break, she told me that she was fully aware about our declining sex life and her role in that. She said that she didn’t know if or when she ever could sleep with me again. She said that she couldn’t handle the pressure of needing to heal fast not to lose me again, for me not to cheat again, so she said that I could still sleep with the OW. She just doesn’t want to know when. And not in our home.
I hate myself for what she has become. Like a broken bird. When I talk to her about divorce, her tears just starts pouring and she asks if I didn’t love her anymore. I do. More than anything but I want to set her free. But her tears. I can’t.
The only thing she hasn’t changed is her kiss in the morning. She starts very early and before leaving she kisses me goodbye and whispers I love you. I pretend that she I’m sleeping. When I hear the door locks I break down crying. I cry for a good hour before it’s time for me to go to work too.
I hate myself every day for what I have done to her.
Assuming this story is real, it’s absolutely heartbreaking and not at all uncommon. I’m in tears writing about it.
It’s perhaps foolish of me, but I desperately want to offer this couple some advice, but the account has been deleted. So I’ll offer my observations here in the hopes that it helps someone.
First of all, this woman clearly doesn’t want a divorce. She bursts into tears when he mentions it. She kisses him goodbye every morning. She even gave him permission to continue the affair because she doesn’t feel she can meet his needs. This is a woman who clearly loves her husband very much—in spite of his faults.
And I think this is clearly a man who loves his wife. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be crying these tears. That is good. It means that his heart is set toward repentance. That tells me there is hope.
Beware the Delusion of Pride
Before I continue, I want to address you, the reader. Because I’ve seen many comments on Reddit and Twitter along the lines of: You suck. I would never do that. She should divorce you. And so on.
If that is your attitude, you are deluding yourself with pride, and pride cometh before a fall. As Fr. Thomas Hopko said in his 55 Maxims of the Christian Life, “Have no expectations except to be fiercely tempted to your last breath.”
You always hear these stories in the news about pastors who preach about sin from the pulpit, only to fall into the same sins themselves. Each one of those is a case of a man tragically deluding himself into thinking he’s better than his neighbors. That his will or his connection to God will save him from himself.
I have been tempted in my marriage. My wife has been tempted. And I’m willing to bet you have tempted. And even after our eleven years together, if my wife and I aren’t mindful it could all be flushed away tomorrow.
It takes only minutes to wreck years of hard work put into a marriage, and it’s all too easy. Our only hope is to be radically honest—most of all with with ourselves, and recognize our temptations and weaknesses. To do otherwise is to fall prey to delusion.
Likewise, I believe this man has deluded himself. Is he offering her a divorce because he wants to free her, or because he wants to free himself? I suspect that deep down, he feels like he has broken her and the only solution is to start fresh.
I’ve seen many men do that, and all to often it leads to yet another broken woman, because he hasn’t fixed what is broken in himself. He needs to man up and clean up his mess.
Beware the Little Things
The good news is that it often isn’t major sins like this that destroy a marriage. The big mistakes are easy to grasp. They have a lot of handles. Married people cheat, they lie, they lose their temper. These major missteps are fairly easy to confront, and—assuming they aren’t part of a consistent pattern of behavior—can sometimes lead to a better place, because it’s an opportunity to confront the little things—those grains of sand that wear down a marriage over time.
Those little offhand comments. The disapproving looks. The feelings of resentment that build up over time but are never properly addressed. This is illness in a marriage, and usually the big blowups are merely the terminal stage.
Another Sad Marriage
Let me tell you about a marriage that recently failed. A good friend of ours married a man that seemed to have a good head on his shoulders. They got married and had a baby. Then… he couldn’t hack it. He quit a good job and only took on minimum-wage work. He stopped making love to his wife. He didn’t help around the house. In short, he gave up.
She asked him to move out. He did so without complaint. Finally, she filed for divorce.
I don’t think she wants a divorce. I don’t think she wanted him out of the house. I think these were cries for help. A desperately plea for him to wake up and fulfill his role as husband and father. The divorce proceedings are still ongoing, and I think he could put a stop to them at any time, if he really wanted to.
Marriage Is Struggle
Now ladies, let me ask you: if given the choice—and these were you only options—which flawed husband would you pick? The one who cheated but cries tears of repentance or the man who just gave up and shuffled away without a fight?
I can’t answer for you, but I would gladly take the repentant but unfaithful wife over the woman who just gave up on life.
Marriage is an ascetic struggle. We break—and hopefully heal—each other every day. But as I look back on our eleven years of marriage, we are drastically better people than we were on that October day in 2012. Still far from perfect, but iron sharpens iron, and even through our trials and tribulations we have made each other better.
What I Would Tell This Man to Do
Divorce isn’t the solution in this case. No, he needs to do something much harder: genuinely repent.
The core issue is that he is not in control of his steering wheel. He has let his passions—specifically lust—control him, and I suspect that has been the case for some time. I’m willing to bet that his wife recognizes this on some level and that’s part of why she became withdrawn in the first place. His lust created pressure around sex, and pressure is the opposite of sexy.
What I would advise him to do is to work on detaching himself from his lustful passions. This won’t be easy. If he watches pornography, he needs to stop, along with anything else that stirs up these passions.
Needless to say, he needs to avoid the other woman at all costs. It was very loving and selfless of his wife to offer to let him continue the affair, but it’s a trap.
The story of Abraham and Sarah is instructive. Sarah couldn’t give Abraham the child he wanted, so she offered her servant Hagar to him. He impregnanted her, and it ended in heartbreak. Sarah couldn’t stand to see the woman or the child, and made Abraham send Hagar and the child away. Some would even say that Abraham’s mistake lead to terrible war between Israel and Hamas, but that’s neither here nor there.
What this man needs to do is to conquer his passions. He needs to be willing to give up sex, perhaps for the rest of his life. However, this is potentially a trap as well, because it opens the door to resentment and coldness.
As he goes to war with his lust, he needs to rededicate himself to loving his wife, not just through feelings but through action. He must take on this battle with a cheerful heart and out of selfless love for his wife. She has selflessly offered her marital bed as sacrifice for love, and now it’s his turn to sacrifice out of love for her.
At the same time, he has to be careful to not become a defeated and hollow shell of a man. If he lives his life with his head held in shame, acting as a passive servant to her, she will lose her remaining respect for him.
His tears are an excellent start, but he cannot wallow in them. He must stand up straight, take charge of himself, and put in the hard work of loving his wife and saving his marriage. In short, he must be a man.
And when he stumbles on this journey, he has to be willing to accept it with humility, dust himself off, and get back up.
While there are no guarantees in marriage, I have hope that if he goes down this path with full commitment, his marriage may turn out better than ever.

The wizard Zoroastro sees signs that the warrior knight Orlando, madly in love with Angelica, Queen of Cathay, will return to his mission as a knight of valor and recover from his worldly passion. Orlando is torn between love and duty and Zoroastro urges him to forget Venus, goddess of love, and follow Mars, god of war, as he used to. Orlando eventually decides that he can and should combine his knightly deeds with his love of the queen.
The shepherdess Dorinda senses that she might be falling in love. As Orlando rushes through with the princess Isabella whom he has just rescued, Dorinda senses that Orlando too might be in love. Dorinda hides in her hut the queen Angelica who has found the wounded Moorish warrior Medoro and saved him from death. Angelica has fallen in love with Medoro, yet Dorinda has fallen in love with him too. Even though Medoro tries to comfort Dorinda with lies about his relationship with Angelica, she know he does not tell the truth yet is still is enchanted by him.
Zoroastro warns Angelica that once Orlando discovers that she loves Medoro he can be totally unpredictable. As Orlando arrives Angelica confronts him and accuses him for loving Isabella, but Orlando responds that he could love only Angelica and would do anything she asks for to prove that. Angelica advises Medoro that the two should leave to her far away kingdom and thus escape Orlando’s fury and as they leave, Dorinda is left alone, heartbroken.
Dorinda is in total despair over the loss of Medoro and Orlando confronts her demanding to know why she has been spreading rumors about his love to Isabella. Dorinda replies that she was talking only about Medoro and Angelica’s love. Orlando, realizing that Angelica has betrayed him, vows to kill her, kill himself and eventually pursue her also in Hell.
Zoroastro promises to protect Medoro and Angelica from Orlando. Angelica still remembers that Orlando has saved her life once and feels guilty of betraying him, yet she believes he will understand her as he himself is after all also in love. Orlando rushes trying to kill Angelica who is saved only through Zoroastro’s magic. Orlando begins to lose his mind, seeing visions of Hades and is eventually carried away by Zoroastro.
In all the commotion Medoro has been separated from Angelica and has returned to Dorinda’s hut, telling her he would have liked to love her but his heart is Angelica’s. Orlando arrives, declaring his love to Dorinda, addressing her as Venus. Zoroastro appears and transforms Dorinda’s hut into a dark cave where he will try to restore Orlando to sanity. Angelica arrives and Dorinda tells her that Orlando in his madness burned her hut and killed Medoro and as Orlando himself appears, Angelica asks him to kill her as well. Orlando, imagining that he has rescued the world from all monsters, brings Angelica into the cave. Zoroastro manages to restore Orlando into reason, yet as he returns to his senses, he believes he has killed both Medoro and
Angelica and seeks only death for himself. However, Zoroastro has of course saved both Medoro and Angelica and as Orlando sees them alive he wishes them a happy life and everybody celebrates in Dorinda’s restored hut.


In 2002 I was in a relationship with a man that I took for granted. There is no excuse for my behaviour but let’s just say that I was in a dark place. Anyway, he was the most considerate person that I had know, he loved me unconditionally and my repayment? I ended the relationship! We remained friends although I had no idea of how I had hurt him and that his love for me still remained.
Fast forward 2 years and one day I bumped in to him in my street. My eyes lit up. Where had he been? What was he up to? Where did these feelings come from that stirred within me like an F5 tornado ripping through Kansas City?… I ran to him. Suddenly, a penny dropped and I realised how much I had taken him for granted. I had always assumed he would forever be a part of my life without ever giving a second thought to his own and seeing him out of the blue made me see just how wrapped up I had been in my own life. I hadn’t even noticed that he had not been around me, yet here he was, a grin from ear to ear and awaiting my approach. ‘This is it’ I thought, ‘I have to tell him how I am feeling even if it means nothing to him, I need to get it off my chest and try and make amends for the disregard that I had bestowed upon him a few years back’.
‘Ask him how he is’ I thought, ‘Don’t just blurt it out’…so I did. He told me how he had a baby on the way and a mortgage and I smiled, congratulated him and wished him the best all while feeling an ever growing sickness deep within me. ‘It’s what I get, he deserves to be happy and appreciated in a way I never even offered him’ I thought, ‘how could I tell him all this? I couldn’t, wouldn’t’. I loved him and to love someone is to do right by them so I never let on how I wanted to collapse to the ground at hearing his news….I set him free!
In 2006 he was sentenced to IPP with a 17 month tariff. When I heard the news I was devastated, although, I had no idea the severity of what an IPP was.
Whenever I seen his mum I would always ask after him only to be told the same thing “he is still waiting to be transferred to a prison that facilitates the courses that he needs to complete before he can be considered for parole. They are delaying him constantly!”


If you a Muslim woman who went through a divorce, you may feel that you have made a mistake by marrying the “wrong person”. Trust me that it is natural for a woman to feel that way because when your marriage ends, believing you married the wrong person is the only way to make sense of your choices. Oftentimes, the feelings are followed by a set of questions.
Why should I go through this after all the efforts I’ve made?
I’ve done what I was supposed to, I’ve followed the script, and I trust Allah, but why do things still go wrong?
Why did I fail to make this marriage work?
And how did I lose myself in the process?
A divine purpose behind your divorce
However, as a divorced Muslimah, you can see your decision to end your marriage either as a failure OR a destined path—with a divine purpose behind it. Especially if you sought Allah’s guidance through istikhaara prayers (prayers to seek counsel from Allah) when you decided to marry a man from whom you have divorced.
In Islam, you as a divorced woman can see divorce as a failure only if:
How divorce is part of Allah's plan
However, a divorce is NOT a failure if:
The question is, how can you do that? How can you accept the reality that your marriage ends and it is a part of your journey?
Let’s etch this hadith in our heart and mind as a reminder that Allah will surely guide you to go through it all. This hadith can help you to make sense of navigating through “bad experiences”.
“Wondrous is the affair of the believer for there is good for him in every matter and this is not the case with anyone except the believer. If he is happy, then he thanks Allah and thus there is good for him, and if he is harmed, then he shows patience and thus there is good for him” (Sahih Muslim 2999).
Upon realizing that divorce is not merely a failure, any divorced Muslim woman must take the next step. We are going to deepen our discussion in the next article.

Every relationship has its cobwebs. Do yourself a favor this Valentine’s Day and brush up on some skills to help fuel the spark that got things started in the first place. Here are three reading suggestions I think might just do the trick:
– LYNN G. ROBBINS
This book is all about…you guessed it, the choice of love. Never mind “falling in love” which implies involuntary action. Robbins reminds us that even if we don’t notice, we definitely choose who, how, and when we love.
Don’t compare your love, and marriage to others. You never really see the whole story. Besides, the only marriage you should focus on is your own.
This is a great read that reminds us to choose to love our spouse and family with a pure and intentional love. Robbins put it best, “A pure love is a love that puts one higher than one’s self.”
With the helps in this book you can do as Thomas S. Monson put it, “Choose your love and love your choice.”
– WILLARD F. HARLEY, JR
It probably didn’t take you long to realize that the differences in your relationship go well beyond your individual preferences for food, TV shows, and music.
The physical and emotional needs in a relationship can be just as different but oftentimes much more damaging if they aren’t recognized and addressed.
Just as importantly, Harley also sheds light on the damaging effects of intentionally and selfishly ignoring the very legitimate needs of our loved ones. This is a great book to read with your spouse. By applying its tools, you both will quickly improve your relationship by learning how to love much smarter.
– JOHN L. LUND
Saved the best for last! This one is just that good. Hands down the favorite of my family. Now if you are a do or die page-turner, grab the book for some awesome insights. However, we highly HIGHLY suggest the audio version. (We like to listen to it in the car on road trips WITH our spouse. Hilarious.)
Dr. Lund’s witty and enthusiastic way of addressing the many communication woes of marriage will have you laughing the whole way through. You will see your spouse in his examples, and maybe even more shocking – yourself as he explains some of the most common mistakes we make in our marriage relationships and how to fix them.
Don’t be alarmed if at the end you find yourself wanting to listen to it again. We have. Because like we said, It is just that good.
Happy Valentine’s Day! Happy Marriage!

Celebrating Valentine’s Day With Your Family. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! This year, you can include your whole family in the celebration of love with these family-friendly Valentine’s Day celebration ideas.
- Hold a “Secret Cupid” exchange. Draw each other’s names ahead of time, and get a small gift, or make a beautiful cad for your secret cupid recipient. Help children with supplies to make their card or shopping for their gift.
- Red & Pink Dinner. See if you can create a whole dinner using only red and pink foods! Think ham, apples, red cabbage, beets, cranberry sauce, pink vodka sauce on tomato-basil pasta, strawberries and raspberries. Tint the mashed potatoes pink! Use your imagination to the delight of your whole family.
- Chocolate Creation. Create a special chocolate dessert together like a chocolate cake, cupcakes, homemade ice cream, chocolate pie, brownies, or even a fancy chocolate fondue!
- Decorate Valentine’s Day cookies for others. Turn Valentine’s Day into a family volunteer project and make cookies for grandparents, neighbors or teachers.
- Make a love list. Ask each family member to list 5 things they love about each of the other people in your family. At dinner time, ask each person to read their list out loud, so everyone can hear their best qualities!
Children love doing nice things for others, and Valentine’s Day can be the day to reinforce that habit and show kids tangible ways that. If you have any Real Estate inquiries, please contact one of trusted realtor Wynne Moore.


A little over 12 years ago, I met this handsome guy that swept me off my feet. I had never felt love like this before – I wasn’t even sure that it was love because I had never experienced such an invigorating emotion. Mostly, because I had been hurt so much by past relationships. Having endured an abusive relationship, I put up a brick wall so that I wouldn’t get hurt again. For years, I suffered from low self-esteem and didn’t feel that I deserved the love Frederick was showing me. But let me tell you, he was persistent and patient with me!
Frederick’s love and romantic ways chipped at the wall, brick-by-brick. He would bring me flowers for no reason, invite me to lunch in the park, have bible study with me, and wrote me the most beautiful poetry. One day, I finally let down my guard enough to recognize that his love for me was real and genuine.
So Ladies, when a man FINDS YOU and gives you the love that you are so deserving of – a I Corinthians 13:4-7 kind of LOVE, embrace it!
Frederick is my biggest cheerleader and gives me full support in every endeavor I undertake. He still writes poetry and he is allowing me to share one of his most recent poems with my devoted readers. His poetry won my heart – I hope it inspires yours!
My family of God, lift your hands up to the most high
Listen to me in the time of trouble, He’ll be nigh
I won’t say we’ll never again have another problem
Our Father in Heaven is able to help us solve them
Everyday brings us new challenges and opportunities
It also brings us a chance to shine in our communities
Letting us be a light when things seem so dark
Shine with light of hope as we press toward the mark
Sometimes we must encourage ourselves to encourage others
We must speak life to our sisters, brothers, fathers and mothers.
~ Frederick A. Nicholas Sr.

Dillon is going to his fathers house in Ohio today for a visit. I'm not looking forward to the 7 hour drive there and back, but, Dill doesn't want to go at all. He had asked to call his dad last night and asked him if he could just stay home, and of course his dad said no. Dillon has been upset since then, I feel so bad and wish I could make him feel better. I have been trying to tell him a the positives of going there (seeing his half sisters, playing the Xbox 360 he has there etc.) it just doesn't seem to matter. He had told my husband Nathan last evening that he is going to refuse to get out of the car when we get there.
The nice thing is that we have Skype and I told him we can see each other anytime (if they let him on)! It was hard for me as a mother to see my children go through the split up of their father and I, but, it's even harder that he feels this way. I try to remind him that his dad loves him and he always says "I know he loves me and I love him, he's my dad. I just don't like him or the things he does". He told me it's not really his dad even, it's his stepmother there, she has caused a lot of problems with the kids, and tries to cause issues with my relationship with both of my children and Dill is old enough that he sees these things. No matter how I feel, I try not to speak ill of their father or his household in front of the kids, I feel it is their decisions to make on how they feel and Dillon is mad that his dad lets his wife do the things she does and even participates sometimes. Anyways, I hope all goes well today, I will post when I get back with an update. Anyone going through something like this, please feel free to comment with your tactics and suggestions or just your story.

Contested vs. Uncontested Divorce: What’s the Difference?
What is Divorce?
Divorce is a process where either one or both parties have decided to legally end a marriage. Divorce is also an agreement reached by both spouses regarding how their mutual property, finances, and custody and/or visitation of children will be shared after the finalization of the process. There are several types of divorce by which a marriage can be officially concluded. While we won’t discuss annulment, we will explore uncontested and contested divorce. While the divorce definition could be far longer, this sums up the process neatly.
If you already know the difference between a contested an uncontested divorce and are looking for the right forms, you can find them in US Legal Forms’s state-specic Divorce Package of forms.
How Does Divorce Work?
While divorce laws vary from state to state, and occasionally may vary between municipalities, it is usually initiated by the filing of divorce papers by one, or both, spouses. These papers may also be known as a petition, especially in the case of an uncontested divorce. When the papers are filed, if uncontested, the procedure is typically kept between the spouses seeking divorce; and once the proper documentation is approved, the procedure is legally finalized. While a contested divorce may operate in a similar manner, from a bird’s eye view, instead of negotiating and cooperating between themselves, the spouses must insert lawyers into the fray to negotiate, finalize, and commit to the terms of their divorce. The process of a contested divorce, especially where child custody is involved, can take several appearances in court, thousands of dollars, and even years to complete. The moral of the story is: try to get along for the duration of the divorce process.
The process of how to file for divorce is rather simple, yet there are differences in the type of divorce you can file. A no-fault divorce is one where the spouse(s) are saying the marriage is broken beyond repair; whereas a fault divorce is one where the grounds for divorce must be proven. Such grounds can be: desertion, adultery, abuse, non-support, and more, including impotency in some states.
A divorce in which one partner wishes to divorce, and the other does not, typically throws the divorce into the realm of “contested”, automatically. However, even if both parties agree to divorce, it can remain contested due to a failure to agree on the terms of the divorce.
We have worksheets to help you organize and keep track of the process, you can find them here.
Contested vs. Uncontested Divorce
Any process which is uncontested, meaning both parties agree, or where one or more involved parties are unavailable to argue the terms, is typically much faster and more lightweight. Therefore the uncontested definition is one in which both parties agree, typically in an out-of-court settlement. So what is an uncontested divorce?
An uncontested divorce, by relative terms, is a quick process; however, in relation to a divorce, nothing is necessarily quick. When the spouses file a joint petition, which includes the terms of the divorce and how things will be distributed, they are effectively settling their divorce out-of-court. While it is recommended to have lawyers and other advisors involved, it is not necessary. The reason an uncontested divorce lawyer is recommended is that the terms may be unclear from a legal perspective, and the terms are not necessarily enforceable.
In cases where the process was handled mostly outside of divorce court, the terms of divorce and children custody rights may not be enforceable if a new partner of one former spouse has different ideas of how things should go; or if the partner who is paying child support misses payments, it may not necessarily be something the other former spouse may legally pursue, even with clear documentation of divorce records.
Yet, if your shared estate and finances are simple, uncomplicated, and children are not involved, an uncontested divorce can be the most mutually beneficial option for both partners, especially if you’re still able to communicate and negotiate in a somewhat-healthy manner.
The cost of an uncontested divorce is typically the cost of documents, lawyers (if involved), and the county clerk filing fee. If you’re looking for uncontested divorce forms, you can find one for your state here.
Before we get into contested divorce, let’s discuss the average costs involved and various considerations to take into account for both procedures.
The cost of an uncontested divorce lawyer averages out to about $1,200, while a lawyer for a full-blown contested custody divorce case can be $5,000 or more (source). This amount can vary wildly based on firm reputation and whether the region is rural, suburban, or metropolitan.
Divorce and children never mix well, it is always recommended that children of divorcing parents speak with a psychologist or counselor. However, this also adds to the total cost of a divorce; while you can’t put a price on your childrens’ well-being, a contested divorce is typically very financially straining on both partners and simultaneously very emotionally challenging for their children.
Without adding external costs, such as therapy or other requisite services, the average total cost of an uncontested divorce in the United States is $1,500; whereas a contested divorce without mediation and litigation typically averages out to $12,000. However, a litigated and mediated contested divorce averages out to $25,000 (source). This average takes into account numbers ranging from a few thousand dollars to $100,000 or more. Because the numbers are weighted to lower numbers, it’s fair to say that statistically you can expect the total cost to be less than $25,000 for a complex contested divorce.
Now that we understand an uncontested divorce and the differences in costs, what is a contested divorce?
The contested divorce meaning, in short, is the result of a failure to clearly communicate and negotiate terms deemed fair and acceptable by both partners. As a result of this failure, by one or both parties, lawyers are required to assist in negotiations to reach terms that are mutually acceptable on behalf of their clients; while attending one or numerous court sessions to reach a final agreement, or determination by the court.
If the spouses are unable to come to a deal at the negotiating table, the divorce court may choose one of two options to split the once-shared estate. The first option is a clear, cut, and dry 50/50 split of everything combined; the second option is what the Magistrate or Judge deems fair, as per their understanding of the situation. For example, if one partner had a career and maintained a morally sound posture for the duration of their marriage while the other didn’t work while having the means to do so and behaved in an unbecoming manner, the Judge or Magistrate may decide that the unemployed spouse will not have access to the wealth accumulated by the other. While this is a shallow example, it can help you to understand the differences between the findings of courts based on the unique situations of every case.
The longer a divorce takes, the more expensive it will become. As with any service, every hour of a lawyer’s time is a minor fortune from your checkbook. The longer the proceedings go on, the bigger the check you’ll need to write. The process of how to get a divorce is simple and complex at the same time.
Of course, there are always caveats to every procedure; and while bureaucracy has a way of getting under people’s skin, the difficulty, cost, and lengthiness of a divorce is ultimately up to you, your spouse, and your mutual willingness to set aside your differences for the sake of concluding the procedure.
