I've been sick for about a month and have taken I think 3 weeks off from this supposedly weekly blog. I'm still fighting this ugly resistant infection, made more complicated by the fact that I am allergic to just about every type of antibiotic except the ones that the bacteria is resistant to. I've just started yet a 4th one and hoping, praying it will work. But what does this have to do with dating, my personal dating experiences and search for a meaningful, fulfilling relationship with a man?
I'm not sure exactly. I've had a lot of time to think about why I'm still single 5 plus years after my divorce and why in that time I chose some of the more short term relationships I have been in or went through phases of rejecting just about every guy who showed any interest in me or even being unconsciously completely oblivious to it. Maybe like with antibiotics, I've somehow become "allergic" to most types of men and that isn't their problem but my own. Or is it that I just have been choosing the wrong types? You know, the types of men who I should avoid because I am "allergic", i.e. they are bad for me or I am bad for them and instead I should work on being attracted to the rare type of man who I am not going to break out into a rash over or worse causes me to go into shock.
The latter is what my former marriage did and I've so been in shock, I didn't even realize it until quite recently, as in last week sometime. For those who've known me personally for awhile, this is old news but for readers who don't my history, the short version without going into details right now is that I was emotionally, verbally and physically abused during my marriage and actually even before. I am one of the strong and lucky ones in that I left him after only 4 years. Some women never can get up the strength and courage to leave because it's been literally bled out of them on multiple levels. And the other stroke of luck is that he only stalked me a little before he gave up.
However I am still healing the wounds. I mistakenly have thought for years that I actually was completely healed and ready. I actually congratulated myself about 1 year after the divorce on being so successful at pulling myself together. This was just when I had started just short term dating. I ignored the fact that I had given up dancing yet again because my ex had shown up at a milonga (place where a person dances Argentine Tango) he knew I frequented. That was just a couple months after we separated, before the divorce was final. Obviously since even after moving to a completely different state a few months after this pat on my own back to myself, I still did not set foot in a tango, salsa or ballroom dance class or event.
For the last 5 years I have either been celibate, willingly a friend with benefits or maybe in a roller coaster on again/off again pseudo serious relationship with another person just as wounded and unready for a real relationship as I was. Now I live in yet a 3rd state and I want to date again but honestly I am terrified of attracting and/or being attracted to another abuser. This past summer I was in my mind (but turns out not his) dating someone seriously for about 3 months until it became clear from his actions that he was using me for sex. So now I'd gone from willing casual lover to unwilling and so I broke it off.
When I first posted my intro to this blog, friends on facebook posted comments like "don't worry, you'll find a guy" etc. But in truth I have no trouble finding a guy. Guys approach me online and in person all of the time. The problem is, I'm not initially anyway attracted to most of them and the guys I am attracted to either aren't available, not in my extended circle of friends and acquaintances or just not interested/attracted to me. (To that last group: What the fuck is your problem? I'm hot)! It's the age old problem of she loves him but he loves somebody else or she loves him but he doesn't even know she exists/but she doesn't exist in the stratosphere of the world that he does.
Intellectually I know that I push guys away either by being aloof and/or caustic or by being "needy" and obviously I do this to avoid getting hurt and I do it even more since my divorce. I feel more vulnerable so I just grew tougher and completely impenetrable armour. So although I've been complaining alot about being sick this past month on facebook and even longer about men, I'm happy that this blog is really forcing me to look deeply at how I approach dating and relationships and also to really ask myself what I want and what mistakes I don't want to repeat while becoming excited and courageous about meeting a guy, the right guy.
And even now I'm still avoiding revealing my type. So here it is after going over a list of guys who've given me intense butterflies over the years: I like tall guys with dark hair who are strong, alpha males but also may have hidden or not hidden sensitive side and who have a sense of humor and can get really good banter going. The eye color isn't important. The most important parts are decisiveness, assertiveness and intelligent sense of humor. Yep so a guy that may at times be a "player" because he can but he might not be either. I like to think that in my maturity I can tell the difference and not mistake a guy's charm and natural flirtatiousness for sincere romantic interest like I did when I was in my twenties and a bit into my thirties.
Oh and I freely admit, I tend to be attracted to guys in their early to mid thirties and a couple who are only in their late 20's but I addressed that one already. I think it's because I look like I'm in my early to mid thirties and not in my early forties and because really I'm attracted to people who are open to new things and who aren't bitter while I desperately fight my own slide into bitter divorced harpy spinster territory.
So I don't know. Have I answered my own questions at the beginning of this post? Do I know how to find and start a relationship that I won't be "allergic" to? Maybe. I just have to take the plunge and see. While I've been sick I've taken time off the sites I'm on which are OK Cupid, Chemistry and Zoosk. Before I started the blog, a couple of guys from one site or another were texting and/or emailing me but it never led to many actual dates. I did meet one of them but it was obvious we weren't compatible. He talked way too much and not to me but at me. Plus he kind of dissed special needs kids and that does not fly with me. I did get a nice sushi dinner though. Thankfully the realization that it wouldn't work was mutual and I never heard from him again.
Since I began the blog a couple guy friends have begun talking to me more. This is a good thing. I don't know yet if anything romantic will happen. For one I'm starting to wonder why guys who live in L.A. who never tried to flirt with me when I lived there are now joyfully making regular contact me when I've moved to another state. Don't get me wrong. I do like it. And maybe romance will blossom. Or maybe it's just a new kind of "safe" flirtation. Hopefully I haven't discovered yet another type of friendship that I'm "allergic" to. Maybe one of these guys or another one I haven't even discovered yet will be that rare find that doesn't give me hives.
So that's the end of the post. But a last note related to this blog and my privacy since it's so personal. I've been thinking about what I will do once I am in a relationship or just dating someone seriously. I wouldn't ever divulge personal details of any romantic relationship I'm in. When that time comes, I may take the blog in a different direction or just make it a more general dating/relationship column. I'm not sure. But I do know it will not be the equivalent of a reality TV show in blog form. So guys who want to date me, I promise not to kiss and tell and like I said before in the initial probationary dating stage and the process leading up to that I will never use names and just give general details.

It is a rule of marriage in which the life-partners are to be selected within the group. It is marriage within the group and the group may be caste, class, tribe, race, village, religious group etc.We have caste endogamy, class endogamy, sub caste endogamy, race endogamy and tribal endogamy etc.In caste endogamy marriage has to take place within the caste. Brahmin has to marry a Brahmin. In sub caste endogamy it is limited to the sub caste groups.

The Hindu community has been giving great importance for marriage since time immemorial. There are different forms of marriage -

- Asura Vivaha is marriage by paying bride price.
- Rakshasa Vivaha is by capture or abduction without obtaining the consent of a girl or her parents.

In the Muslim community marriage is universal for it discourages celibacy. Muslims call their marriage Nikah .Marriage is regarded not as a religious sacrament but as a secular bond. The bridegroom makes a proposal to the bride just before the wedding ceremony in the presence of two witnesses and a maulavi or kazi.The proposal is called ijab and its acceptance is called qubul.It is necessary that both the proposal and its acceptance must take place at the same meeting to make it a sahi Nikah.It is a matter of tradition among the Muslims to have marriage among equals. Though there is no legal prohibition to contract marriage with a person of low status, such marriages are looked down upon. The run-away marriages called kifa when the girls run away with boys and marry them on their own choice are not recognized.

- Marriage by service is where the man serves at his father-in-law's house before marriage.
- Marriage by trial.
- Marriage by mutual consent.
- Marriage by elopement.
The family forms the basic unit of social organization and it is difficult to imagine how human society could function without it. The family has been seen as a universal social institution an inevitable part of human society. According to Burgess and Lock the family is a group of persons united by ties of marriage, blood or adoption constituting a single household interacting with each other in their respective social role of husband and wife, mother and father, brother and sister creating a common culture.G.P Murdock defines the family as a social group characterized by common residence, economic cooperation and reproduction. It includes adults of both sexes at least two of whom maintain a socially approved sexual relationship and one or more children own or adopted of the sexually co-habiting adults.

Main characteristics of family
Universality: There is no human society in which some form of the family does not appear.Malinowski writes the typical family a group consisting of mother, father and their progeny is found in all communities,savage,barbarians and civilized. The irresistible sex need, the urge for reproduction and the common economic needs have contributed to this universality.
Emotional basis: The family is grounded in emotions and sentiments. It is based on our impulses of mating, procreation, maternal devotion, fraternal love and parental care. It is built upon sentiments of love, affection, sympathy, cooperation and friendship.
Limited size: The family is smaller in size. As a primary group its size is necessarily limited. It is a smallest social unit.
Formative influence: The family welds an environment which surrounds trains and educates the child. It shapes the personality and moulds the character of its members. It emotionally conditions the child.
Nuclear position in the social structure: The family is the nucleus of all other social organizations. The whole social structure is built of family units.
Responsibility of the members: The members of the family has certain responsibilities, duties and obligations.Maclver points out that in times of crisis men may work and fight and die for their country but they toil for their families all their lives.
Social regulation: The family is guarded both by social taboos and by legal regulations. The society takes precaution to safeguard this organization from any possible breakdown.
Types and forms of the family
On the basis of marriage: Family has been classified into three major types:
- Polygamous or polygynous family
- Polyandrous family
- Monogamous family
On the basis of the nature of residence family can be classified into three main forms.
- Family of matrilocal residence
- Family of patrilocal residence
- Family of changing residence
On the basis of ancestry or descent family can be classified into two main types
- Matrilineal family
- Patrilineal family
On the basis of size or structure and the depth of generations family can be classified into two main types.
- Nuclear or the single unit family
- Joint family
On the basis of the nature of relations among the family members the family can be classified into two main types.
- The conjugal family which consists of adult members among there exists sex relationship.
- Consanguine family which consists of members among whom there exists blood relationship- brother and sister, father and son etc.
Kinship is the relation by the bond of blood, marriage and includes kindered ones. It represents one of the basic social institutions. Kinship is universal and in most societies plays a significant role in the socialization of individuals and the maintenance of group solidarity. It is very important in primitive societies and extends its influence on almost all their activities.A.R Radcliffe Brown defines kinship as a system of dynamic relations between person and person in a community, the behavior of any two persons in any of these relations being regulated in some way and to a greater or less extent by social usage.
Affinal and Consanguineous kinship
Relation by the bond of blood is called consanguineous kinship such as parents and their children and between children of same parents. Thus son, daughter, brother, sister, paternal uncle etc are consanguineous kin. Each of these is related through blood. Kinship due to marriage is affinal kinship. New relations are created when marriage takes place. Not only man establishes relationship with the girl and the members of her but also family members of both the man and the woman get bound among themselves. Kinship includes Agnates (sapindas, sagotras); cognates (from mother's side) and bandhus (atamabandhus, pitrubandhus, and matrubandhus).

You have vowed to love each other in sickness or in health, for richer or for poorer, till death do you part. But what about your in-laws?
Nice question. At this time when modern America is slowly veering away from family dominion and couples are living on their own, it is a wonder how in-laws can still get to your nerves and to your marriage.
While husband and wife has promised to support and love each other, the vow does not include abiding by and supporting in-laws who seem to go out of their way to ruin the marriage. In-laws and issues involving them can get on your nerves so much so that it is better to get divorce than to remain married and have to face them your entire life.
These problems can be very sticky ones and you have to discuss this with your fiancé even before you plan your wedding. Anyone who meddles can start doing this from the moment you accept his proposal so better iron out this issue before they become a major one.
It is important to get to know your guy’s parents (the same thing with your girl’s parents). This wouldn’t be a problem if you have a long engagement or have been a couple for years. However, if you have fallen in love in a matter of months and decide to tie the knot immediately then meeting the parents before the wedding is a must.
However, meeting the parents once or twice is not a guarantee of a lifetime of peace and quiet. You may hit it off from the start but you never know if they have hidden maladies that you are not especially fond of like intruding in your wedding and thinking that they can rule your married life.

of communication & openness to a relationship. Many couples find they
are closer after they begin swinging. There is no need to keep feelings
or desires to oneself.Every aspect of your feelings & preferences can be
shared with your partner.They find that not only does their sexual
knowledge of each other expand, but their emotional knowledge &
communication ability as well.
If we are really supposed to restrict our good feelings,
then we should restrict how many roses we smell,

How to Introduce Dogs to Each Other
Properly introducing two dogs can be a tricky process. While most dogs will get along with one another eventually, the initial introduction can be daunting for both animals and humans alike.
This blog post outlines the steps you should follow when introducing two dogs to each other.
1. Separate the Dogs
First and foremost, it’s important that you keep the two dogs separated during the introduction process. Keeping them in separate rooms or having them on opposite sides of a desk or fence are both viable options.
Having them in close proximity gives them a chance to become accustomed to each other’s scent and presence without feeling overwhelmed or threatened by their presence.
It also allows you to observe their body language and make sure they both seem relaxed before proceeding further.
2. Allow Them to Sniff Each Other
Once you feel that both dogs are comfortable with the other’s scent, you can move on to allowing them to sniff each other directly.
This is an important step because it allows them to get used to one another’s physical appearance and recognize that there is no immediate danger from one another.
It also helps them understand how much space they need to give each other when interacting in person.
If either dog appears uncomfortable or aggressive at any point during this stage, go back and separate them again until they seem more relaxed.
After the initial introductions are complete, it’s time for some playtime! Playing together helps create a bond between the two dogs as well as giving them an outlet for any energy they may have built up during the introduction process.
Playing also reinforces positive behavior between the two animals, which will help ensure a successful relationship going forward.
Introducing two dogs can be intimidating but with patience and proper execution, it doesn’t have to be difficult!
By following these steps you can ensure that your furry friends have a fun, safe introduction that sets up a strong foundation for their relationship going forward! With love and guidance from an attentive guardian, these pups will be best friends in no time!

Did you realize that 40 to 50 percent of married couples end up divorcing? A greater divorce rate in future marriages. To maintain a healthy marriage or long-term relationship, you must work as a team. It generally involves a lot of sacrifices and concessions.
Don’t mix up the sacrifice with compromise. The primary distinction between sacrifice and compromise is that compromise needs both parties to reach an agreement, while sacrifice mostly demands one person to give up totally on a specific subject.
To some degree, sacrifice is required in a marriage or committed partnership. However, making too many sacrifices for a relationship might do more damage than good.
You can’t have a long-term relationship unless you master giving and taking. You’re two diverse individuals with unique upbringings and thinking processes attempting to collaborate to create something new that is uniquely yours.
But everything has its place. You must preserve balance. In any relationship, there are some things you should not quit for it.
So, how do you choose? If you’re in a toxic relationship, watch for warning signs.
Never change your personality, not even your better half. Your lover selected you because of who you are. If they want you to modify yourself later in life, change your personality, and let go of your real self, it’s time to reconsider your partnership.
Although some little concessions are essential to make your relationship function, asking you to alter your core personality is utterly unrealistic. Change that comes from inside is acceptable, but demand from beyond is not.
A companion who genuinely loves you will accept you just as you are. Your lover will appreciate both your great and bad characteristics and accept you for who you are. So choose to be unabashedly yourself!
Everyone feels worthy and dignified. No one can get through! If your partner is trying to undermine your self-esteem and self-respect, you must reclaim it. In reality, your spouse should boost your confidence and self-esteem, not the other way around.
So, if your spouse is always making you unhappy, blaming you, putting you down, or holding you accountable for everything, it’s time to go on. He or she should never compromise on this crucial part of a relationship.
The person you’re with should make you feel attractive, beautiful, and confident. So, don’t lose your self-respect for anybody, since prolonging your relationship at the expense of your self-respect isn’t even worth a shot.
A relationship with emotional abuse should be avoided. If you believe your spouse is controlling you via emotional manipulation, humiliation, shame, the blame game, psychological abuse, criticism, physical and verbal abuse, or bullying, devise an escape strategy right now.
Your Personal Space:
The public, personal, and private are components of our lives exist. While public life refers to your social contacts with the rest of the world, personal life is limited to your family, spouse, and a select few who are shielded from your public life.
The third dimension is private life, which relates to your area that you may prefer to keep to yourself. Your private life is kept apart from your public and personal lives.
We all desire some “me-time” to contemplate, overcome inner difficulties and accept reality. Spending time with friends, running alone in the park, traveling alone for a few days, reading a book in your cozy nook, or drinking tea on the balcony are all examples of me-time.
All that counts is that we give ourselves some freedom to express ourselves.
While it is natural to be smitten with each other during the honeymoon or courting period, spending some time alone daily is the most reasonable thing you can do in the latter phases of your relationship.
A spouse who does not respect your personal space or who refuses to give you some is not a healthy indicator and should be dealt with promptly.
Your Desire To Explore:
We all have aspirations and goals that fuel our motivation. You should have your partner’s full support and encouragement if you are an ambitious person who enjoys trying new things.
Ideally, they will motivate you to take risks, fulfill your curiosity, see the world from fresh perspectives, and grow as an individual.
Your partner should not discourage you from doing new things, even if they don’t share your adventurous spirit.
Do you often consult with your spouse before leaving the house? Or do you feel obligated to spend time with your friends and family? If you respond yes to these questions, you are abandoning your freedom. And nothing is worth surrendering your freedom for.
Long Distance Relationship Gifts
Your partner’s promotion of such behavior may be due to many factors, including childhood trauma, a negative experience in the past, or a lack of confidence in oneself. It suggests their domineering behavior and deep-seated fears, which are often dangerous indications.
You are unbreakable and free to make your own life choices. Your spouse should appreciate your choices and grant you freedom as long as you are not inflicting major damage by overdoing it and putting non-essentials ahead of your relationship.
Body shaming is not only harsh and insulting, but it is also immature and founded on misguided notions. Consider this a significant red flag if your spouse often points out your weight, body shape, color, or anything else about your physical appearance.
Most of the time, persons that do this are insecure enough and feel the need to knock down their spouse to feel inferior all of the time. It’s a repulsive manner of asserting authority and should never be used in any healthy relationship.
There is never a moment when stopping pursuing your aspirations because your spouse does not approve of them is appropriate. Relationships need to be supported.
They should be encouraging you to pursue your aspirations and objectives. They probably can’t afford you if they are discouraging you or dragging you back.
You should hang on to and pursue your aspirations regardless of whether you are in a relationship unless your aim is unlawful or detrimental to yourself or others.
Otherwise, even if your ambitions seem to be unattainable, your spouse should be on your side, not on the other side of the ring. Remember that somebody who loves you wants your dreams to come true.
Your Family And Social Support System:
There are numerous relationships where this is a major concern. I’ve seen firsthand how, after marriage, individuals cut all ties with their friends and even their families.
During the honeymoon time following marriage, couples or one of the spouses goes underground to explore one other, settle down, and adapt to the new arrangement. However, this usually lasts for a few months before returning to regular social life.
It is not justified if your spouse demands you to break links or maintain a distance from your loved ones. Your partner should support and even engage in your own social life. An excellent spouse not only believes in you but also fits in nicely with your social life.
Willing to sacrifice your family or loved ones for the sake of your romantic connection suggests that your spouse has a possessive personality. You must realize that family is essential, and anybody who pulls you away from them is not worth your time.
Your Happiness And Inner Peace:
For every one of us, the ultimate objective is happiness and inner serenity. If we are not pleased being with someone, if we are in an unsatisfying relationship, or if we feel something significant is lacking, it is time to reconsider.
Your spouse should be able to bring joy and peace into your relationship. Instead of keeping you insecure, dissatisfied, resentful, angry, depressed, nervous, and so on, your connection should radiate good energy and help you achieve your inner peace.
Couple Bracelets Matching Set
Letting your relationship work is an art of balancing life as you go from being flexible to being strict.
To keep things moving ahead, you may have to make some concessions and be more adaptable than usual. Speaking out for what you believe in requires being loyal to yourself and not compromising your values.
Your Spiritual Beliefs:
It is one’s decision to practice one’s faith or religion, and your spouse should not urge you to abandon your views or compel you to accept new ones. Though some individuals gladly alter their faith for their relationships, it should originate from inside rather than impose.
There is no relationship worth surrendering your religious values system for. Rather than steering you in the path of your own beliefs, your spouse should be a part of your spiritual journey, encouraging and growing with you.
Respect should never be abandoned or even compromised in any scenario, particularly in a love relationship.
Even when my spouse and I are at odds and irritated with one other, we maintain our cool and treat each other with dignity.
Because how someone treats you reflects how they feel towards you, if they don’t respect you, they probably don’t care about you, and you should consider breaking up.
Everyone desires a connection, a particular someone with whom they can laugh and share life’s important moments.
However, if you feel that you’re losing yourself little by little, it’s time to re-think. You are deserving of genuine, wholehearted love in your life.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
What Are The Unforgivable Sins In A Relationship?
Forgiveness is a virtue when you’re in love. There are a few things, though, that should not be disregarded.
The first item on the list is domestic violence, which is not only reprehensible but also illegal. Another example is repeated infidelity, as well as all forms of abuse, including emotional abuse. The list goes on and on.
Is It OK To Never Be In A Relationship?
While romantic partnerships have become a cultural standard, they are not essential. It’s alright if you’ve never been in a relationship and aren’t ready to be in one; there’s no need to hurry. Because everyone has various tastes, you should only get into a relationship when you’re ready.
What Circumstances Might Cause A Relationship To Fail?
In a relationship, you’re not just living for yourself; your actions affect your partner. It means you should avoid doing specific things to keep the connection. For example, being irresponsible, manipulating your spouse, being controlling, negative, too critical, and so on.
What Are The Indications Of Disrespect In A Relationship?
It’s simple to tell when your spouse no longer respects you; he’ll stop listening to what you have to say, and they’ll continue to lie to you with no guilt.
You wouldn’t be on their priority list, they would put others’ emotional intimacy needs ahead of yours, they’d reject your boundaries and emotions, and they’d insult your friends and family.

So our family has these lifelong friends that we’ve known for like ever. My parents met the Shaws when they were all in college. And their friendship still goes on. It’s pretty cool if I say so myself.
The Shaw family is made up of the two parents and their four children. The two older boys are both my age. My sister is good friends with their daughter who’s just her age so it works out perfectly. The youngest boy just hangs out with both the kids and us teens since he doesn’t hav someone his age. We are all really close friends, so whenever someone asks “who’s that?”, we all just say “It’s our cousin.” You could even go as far as saying that we are sibling like.
Our two families see each other all the time. At least every 2 months and more often than not, every month. They live 4 or so hours away from us and whenever they come over to our house, all the cups are dirty within the first day so we end up doing a ton of dishes. They live in the upper peninsula and get even more snow than we do! Per tradition, we usually go pick out Christmas tree for them all together and my dad will start a snow fight. It will end with people being pummeled into the snow and all the kids will create an endless barrage of snowballs to both dads. The Shaws are also LDS as well so whenever we come to their teeny branch up in Houghton, everyone knows who we are there. Annnnd it’s almost inevitable to be asked to say a talk or say a prayer since Brother Shaw is their branch president haha.
One time a couple years ago, I went with them to go pick up their new dog. His full name is Baron T.J. Blitz but everyone just calls him Blitz. He is a full blooded beagle and he likes to run away a lot.

My husband and I are fairly recent newlyweds. This past January marked our 2nd Wedding Anniversary. Sounds romantic.
HOWEVER, we have been living together for the past 17 years. Doesn't sound quite so romantic now does it?
Well I got to tell you, in all these 19 years, not once has my husband ever bought me a present for Valentine's Day. About 5 years ago he bought me a card. It had a picture of a dog peeing on a tree and the caption was "Hap-pee Valentine's Day." I kid you not.
Well this year, my "reason for living" surprised the hell out of me and presented me with my first ever Valentine's Day gift. Imagine my surprise when I opened this:
Nothing says love quite like a Hoover.

This is a great basic teaching on the essence of emotional intimacy I found which I have added my own spiritual wisdom and thoughts to. Emotional intimacy often gets confused with physical intimacy. I feel the emotional and spiritual connections have tremendous value in creating a healthy foundation to build on.
Intimacy is a sense of closeness to another person, a real sense of two-way empathy. When we are emotionally intimate we can share personal feelings, display affection and not be dismissed or judged harshly. There is a sense of being heard and connected to the heart and soul of that other person. It creates a sense of well-being when we are heard. Not everyone needs to agree with everything you say, yet we all yearn for the heart to heart connection of being heard, respected and not judged.
We all love the idea that our true friends will love and support us no matter what. Yet when we open ourselves up with discussing issues we need to remember that often they are projecting their own ‘stuff’ on us which can be confusing. It is important to be mindful and aware of who you share any relationship issues with. This is sacred ground, keep it that way.
Many romantic partners describe their special person as their ‘best friend’, we are a ‘team’ – a perfect combination of physical and emotional intimacy. It is my opinion that all relationships that have longevity are built on spiritual friendship first. Emotional intimacy can exist between friends, family relations and lovers. Some people even feel emotional intimacy with their pet. There is no doubt that a sense of shared intimacy is important for both mental and physical health. It connects us to the natural state of the soul which is peace, balance and happiness!
How would you define emotional intimacy? Are your relationships flowing in a manner that is spontaneous, natural and trusting? Do you feel safe sharing thoughts and feelings? Do you feel a connection beyond the physical body? Do you want more?
What I really want to add here is taking this one step further. What is spiritual intimacy? Do you have a connection to something greater than yourself? I am not referring to religion I am gently guiding you to consciously have a connection to the divine which I will expand on in another article.
The main issue today I feel is that we have been so distracted with the material world of ‘stuff and things’ that we have forgotten to reclaim our divinity. What does that really mean? How when and where do you find the time to connect to the divine? Is it watching a sunset? Is it dancing with joy? Are you doing yoga online? Do you sit quietly and meditate and pray? Have you considered active meditations?
Let me suggest one simple technique I use every single day.
I wrap my arms around myself just like wrapping a shawl. I then close my eyes, take a few breaths, and say ‘Be with Me.’ I stay quiet for about 5 minutes. It calms everything down. Be quiet, be with me and be still. Then feel the divine within you hugging you right back!


Thanks to Famework, brands and content makers can easily find each other. Only high-quality matches can lead to successful brand integrations. We start from your specific expectations regarding data analysis, financial return and international possibilities.
Each brand pursues 'fame'. Due to a changing media landscape or consumption, the importance of brand integration in the marketing mix of a brand increases. However, there is a need for a more efficient approach: this is the focus of Famework.
Brands are essential for contentmakers, as a partner or sponsor of their projects. But how can both parties find each other? How can a partnership create value? How can a match be turned into a deal? Famework supports both parties with the necessary expertise.

By the end of the heroes series, I was kind of burnt out with the idea of romance plots. Part of it was because I was required to give the romantic plot more prominence in the sixth book, and that's probably why I gave so little attention to the romantic aspect of the Lee/Taro relationship in the seventh book. |
But also it just feels like there is always a romantic relationship shoe-horned into every story. I was reading a mystery where the male cop got a female partner, and I was thinking, ugh, another romance, but then they didn't sleep together and I was happy. Then they did sleep together and I wasn't, especially as the sex ruined everything, which is probably realistic, but I loved their platonic relationship. It seemed a waste.
Watching Downton Abbey, I was worried that once Tom and Mary lost their spouses and developed a close relationship, they would be matched up. I was relieved they didn't, and loved their platonic relationship.
I hated the romantic plot in A Knight's Tale. It didn't even make sense. Jasmine spent all that time talking about how she wanted a man who spoke to her instead of caring only about her beauty, but almost all of her conversations with Will were about her looks. I loved the other characters and their relationships and didn't think the romance plot was necessary.
I'm not saying romance isn't a valuable, worthwhile subject, just that I don't think it needs to be everywhere. I'd like to see more friendships that are the most important relationships in the characters' lives. More band of brothers stories where the sexes are mixed, and not just one female character who is pining after the guy in charge. A gay character with a straight character and neither one tries to "convert" the other.
So my last three books don't have any romance in them. It wasn't like I'd banned romance, just that I didn't feel like putting any in the books. But in Ottawa 2027, I've thought of introducing one. I had an idea that would make it fun. I don't know if it'll make it through the first draft. I guess I've found enough books and shows that don't have romance that I've cleansed my palate.
When I was younger, if the story didn't have romance, I wouldn't read it. There was a book written by a writer I enjoyed, but I didn't like it because of the lack of romance. I recently picked it up again, thinking I'd like it better this time around. No. Still boring.

Child Custody Help: What is Joint Custody vs. Sole Custody?
An experienced child custody attorney will explain the details of exactly what the difference is between sole custody and joint custody—but following is a basic breakdown. In most cases, joint custody is based on the court’s belief that encouraging parents to work together for the best interests of the child is of utmost importance in developing a healthy relationship with both parents and the child, whereas an award of sole custody to one parent is because the court does not believe the parties can cooperate well enough to work together for the child.
Joint custody means that both parents share in the responsibilities of the children and should work together to approve any major decisions related to the children’s lives. Most courts encourage joint custody for this reason. In this situation one parent is still the custodial parent. The custodial parent is the parent the child lives with most of the time, sometimes called the residential parent. The other parent is the noncustodial parent and the child has visitation with them on a regular basis. This parent is sometimes called the nonresidential parent. Having both parents in a child’s life is important for countless reasons to help a child grow up with positive influences from both parents. Judges often look specifically to how the parents interact with each other in making a joint custody decision.
Sole custody of a child, which is less common, but granted in some situations, is where the primary care giver or custodial parent does not need to work with the other parent to develop plans for how the child should be raised or to make big decisions on medical procedures or little decisions such as after school activities. However, in some sole custody situations many courts are moving towards allowing the non-custodial parent certain rights regarding serious medical procedures. An award of sole custody to the other parent does not mean that a noncustodial parent won’t be included in decisions about their child. Quite to the contrary, both parents are normally still granted equal rights to school functions, medical information, school information, and the ability and right to spend quality parenting time or visitation with their child. Sole custody does not mean a parent’s rights have been taken away. Again, communication between parents being a key factor, it just means that the two parents cannot work together to co-parent.
Get Started With An Expert
Hiring an expert child custody attorney that will fight for you on issues of sole custody, joint custody, or on child custody modifications or enforcement is essential to protecting your rights and ensuring that your family is cared for in the way that they deserve. You first consultation with one of our child custody experts is free. Let us help you get what you desire for your family.


I’ve been single for most of my life, and I find that the reason I have such difficulty dating is that I can never figure out if someone is interested in me. At times I’ll believe that someone is flirting with me, but then I begin to wonder if they are simply acting friendly. No more applicable example comes to mind than my online classmate, who is either head over heels in love with me or merely using proper netiquette.
To make any kind of romantic advance, I need every possible assurance that the person I’m interested in has a thing for me as well. Whenever my online classmate replies to my discussion board post with something like, “Good post,” I am immediately one-hundred percent convinced that they are into me. But then the doubt begins to set in, and I ask myself whether they are just adhering to the conventions of Internet etiquette clearly stated in the course syllabus.
Look, I’ve taken a gamble before and shot my shot, and let me tell you, no blade cuts deeper than rejection. One time, I was at a bar, and after downing two Mike’s Hard Lemonades, I built up enough liquid courage to take my chances with the bartender. Long story short, the manager asked me to leave, and I am no longer permitted to visit that particular establishment. Moments like this are why I need to be unequivocally certain that when my online classmate responds to my discussion board post with, “I agree with you. I like how you said that thing you said, nice job,” it is a confession of deep, undying affection and not solely a display of exemplary online communication skills.
Let’s be clear: I’m no James Bond. I don’t possess irresistible charm, nor do I have washboard abs. What I am is a hopeless romantic who is desperate to know if this virtual person whom I have never seen in my life is indeed my soulmate.
Any indication that could further clarify whether my online classmate is utterly enamored by me or only exercising the customary code of polite behavior in online discourse would go a long way. Maybe it’s about time I quit pussyfooting around and slide into their Canvas direct messages already.


Anonymously tell me your feelings for me.
It doesn’t have to be romantic (though if you did feel that way, it’d be perfectly fine). Just how you feel in general. I get curious of people’s impressions of me.

The First step when mentally preparing for the "task" of actually going out and meeting women is to think of the absolute worst that can happen. The absolute worst thing that will happen is she says something like "get lost loser". Now the chances of her saying this are very slim. If she’s not interested she’ll be more likely to say something like, "I have a boyfriend" or she’ll just try to ignore you and turn to talk to her friends.
So – now that you have a clear vision of the worst thing that can happen, say to yourself, "If that does happen, I can handle it. I can walk away with my pride intact. I know that if she disses me, it’s some problem with her, not me. She probably has some rule about not meeting guys in bars or she really does have a boyfriend, or she just came out of a bad relationship and isn’t in the mood to meet someone – but either way, "I’m a man and I can handle anything she will say to me!"
Right before you approach a woman you need to get any thought that she might reject you out of your mind. Tell yourself that you are the best thing that will happen to this girl all day. Literally say to yourself, "I am an attractive, amazing guy and this girl should be honored to meet me".

From Daily Word, daily inspiration from Unity @ www.dailyword.com
Thank you, God, for my friends.
My life is enriched by the companionship of my friends and by reaching out in friendship to others.
Holding my friends in prayer today, I behold each one as a child of God--whole, happy, prosperous and filled with the joy of living. I am grateful that we share our lives with one another through the happy times and the challenges.
I consider new ways to show support for my friends--perhaps a surprise invitation to lunch, a phone call just to say, "I'm thinking of you today," or an offer to help with a project. It is my intention to reach out to each of my friends, because I find joy in giving them my time, my attention and my love.
"Finally, all of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love for one another, a tender heart, and a humble mind."--1 Peter 3:8

In ecology, co-occurrence networks can help us identify relationships between species using repeated measurements of the species' presence or absence. When evaluating potential relationships, we might ask: Given presence-absence data, are two species co-occurring at a frequency higher or lower than ... READ the POST
Understanding probabilistic species co-occurrence
In this post, we're going to examine the probabilistic model as seen in Veech's A probabilistic model for analysing species co‐occurrence (2012). We'll start by defining the model before moving into calculating co-occurrence probabilities in R.


In this series Melanie explores what being a woman means to her. The social process of becoming a woman, whether born female or transitioning later, is complex, learned, and combines both experiences and a socialized perception of gender norms. When someone wants to be recognized as a woman, how does society encourage her to represent herself?
A twenty-one-year-old Latina, Melanie lives in the Bronx with her mother and three young stepsisters in a one-bedroom apartment. Outside of her family and her boyfriend, she is isolated from meaningful human contact; while transitioning in high school her friends fled and the neighbors grew distant. Melanie is able to discover womanhood on her own terms through resiliency, inner strength, and loving herself.
All quotes are Melanie's.

Red Hot Valentine's Day Spanking
Red. The color of passion and love. Red. Evidence of a husband's firm hand on his wife's bare bottom. Red.
Why wait? Husbands, be bold and add a spanking to your other Valentine's Day plans. Do it before the end of the day, so there is plenty of time for both of you to think about what the spanking communicates before you are visited by the sandman. If your lovely wife is unlikely to appreciate hot red in the spirit of the moment, you may want to consider warm pink on this special occasion. Place your sweetheart over your lap and deliver a pleasantly toasty reminder that boldly says that you are her husband, leader, protector, and passionate lover. Take it slowly and clearly express your gratitude for your wife's willingness to submit to you. Her submission is her daily gift to you, so use this special opportunity to acknowledge her gift and reciprocate with your own gift of authority.
A spanking may seem like an odd gift to give on a day that is dedicated to love, yet when given outside of the confines of discipline or sexual foreplay, a spanking has the capacity to communicate your love for each other in a way that a box of chocolates never will. All wrapped up in a spanking of this nature you will find trust, intimacy, caring, dedication, commitment, loyalty, touch, and giving.
Red. Or pink. Add your favorite color to your celebration today.
Happy Valentine's Day!


In partnership with parents and the parish community, St. Peter School provides academic excellence based upon faith, family, and the foundation of the Catholic Church.
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

All the while she keeps trying to find her fiance and plan to come back to him and become his maid of honor again.


How We Got Here
“Mama please! I love him and he loves me. We want this baby. Please mama, I need you.” Grandma just sat there and looked away. She knew how much it meant to her daughter. And she knew how this would end. No matter which side she took, she knew how it would end. Her mama got pregnant and married. That wasn’t a happy family. She got married and pregnant. And that wasn’t a happy family. And now, her daughter was getting married. It wasn’t her child she was worried about. It was the man. Girls tend to marry their fathers. Each father was lusting after someone or something. And she was sure he was lusting after a beautiful wife and a married life. A year or two later, he’ll want out and she’ll beg him to stay. It was almost genetic. But what could she do? “Alright, do as you see fit. Just know that little girl you’re carrying, she’s going to get a mark on her neck. She’s going to represent the curse of this family. The sin for lust . Hopefully, she’ll have better sense than to repeat the past.”
“Mama, how do you know it’s a girl?”
“Child, no time to explain, you have a wedding to prepare.” Three months into my mother’s pregnancy, she and my father were married. Clearly, I was born and my parents are still in the honeymoon phase and overjoyed with me. When I was about one, mom found dad cheating . He felt so sorry that he came back to her and tried to make it work. Mom didn’t think she’d have a divorce. She thought he had honestly changed. Until she found him again with another. At this point, they were expecting baby number two. Twins. Mom was smart enough to admit defeat. Dad wanted a divorce and Mom agreed. The split was amicable. Painful but amicable. Seeing Grandma dust off an old picture of her daughter when she was pregnant with me knocked my focus back to reality.
Grandma was an odd duck. But a sweet one. Things she couldn’t explain, she’d wave the answer off with her hand and find something to focus on. .
“Grams, how’d you know I’d be a girl? And how did you know I get a tattoo?”
“Child, I got no time for your silly questions. I gotta go cook.”


"I don’t require sex for happiness. I need companionship. I need a partner I can depend on, that I can love and grow with."

My blog name is now outdated. That pacifier? She gave it up weeks ago. Barely batted an eye. We said, “You don’t need this,” and she believed it. Like we knew what we were talking about, like we know anything.
She used to ask me to kiss her hurts, lately she just kisses them herself.
“Ouch. Aw better.”
So this is parenthood. This shift, this push, this pull, this constant changing. Ready or not…
“I love you, Baby.”
“Lo’ ‘ou, Mommy.”


Do you want to know your spouse better? I sure wish I could’ve known what I know now to get along better with my husband. We were at odds for way too many years. We literally lived on opposite ends of the house for several years. It was very sad and a lot of it was that we misunderstood one another.
When my marriage was dead, and I was hopeless, I sure wished I had known about Linked for Couples. Steve and I did NOT understand each other at all! It took several years of counseling to learn about each of our personalities and how to deal with one another better!
Here are a few questions that you can ask yourself today about your marriage:
- Do you love your spouse but feel like you don’t understand each other?
- Do you long to have a deeper connection with your life’s partner?
- Is your marriage thriving or merely surviving?
- Is there conflict in your home that you would like to convert to peace?
If you answered “yes” to any of the questions above, this quick guide to personalities is for you. You will want to listen in with Linda Goldfarb today on the Livin’ Lively with Laine Podcast as she shares proven strategies and quick tips to help you connect better with your spouse and positively handle real-life situations.
Go through a simple assessment, identify your personality type and the personality type of your spouse from her book, Linked for Couples, which teaches couples how to apply these simple tools to quickly improve communication and create a peaceful living environment.
For any of you who are hopeless about your marriage, please contact me.
I will send you my free full version book, Start Again From Scratch, which shares how God resurrected my own marriage miraculously. Also, I would love to pray for your marriage with you!
I am here for you. Please don’t hesitate to contact me. You can email me, call me at 1-833-PRAY-W-ME, or reply to this email, and I will pray with you. You are never alone.
I love you very much.

Hiring an attorney is better than trying to navigate through the divorce process on your own.Although you are not required to have an attorney in South Carolina, it is not a good idea to attempt to handle your divorce by yourself. South Carolina may allow a marriage to be annulled if at least one of the following factors is met: *It is important to note that these factors are not “cut and dry.” Several additional factors and circumstances may be taken into account as to whether an annulment is granted.South Carolina men’s divorce attorneys provide answers to frequently asked questions with regards to the divorce process and divorce laws in South Carolina.South Carolina recognizes no-fault and fault based grounds for divorce.The advice and knowledge of an attorney is crucial to protecting your interests in the future.

You must request a name change in your pleadings to put the court on notice that it is an issue before the court. Family Court judges may exercise broad discretion in their decisions after considering the specific facts of a case and relevant law.

Destined - A Simple Love Story
Not Every love story is a fairy tale, some are simple, yet magical.
She was a simple girl, with simple dreams, living her life the way one should.
That day two strangers glanced at each other for a moment, That was the beginning of something
His stupidity, his goof up made her smile for the first time.
Not every encounter is a co-incident, sometimes you need to create one.
That first conversation is always the hardest one.
Stealing a glimpse of each other is beyond words.
A look into each others eyes is like an insight into the hearts of each other.
Being together for hours without a word being spoken is the best chat they ever had.
A candle light dinner in a true sense, where she started to weave a dream,
everything that a spouse does... she was willing to do for him... with all the love she can pour in.
Adopting the new changes & trying to learn new things immensely impressed him.
Love is a journey and not a destination, with this realization both moved further into a perfect harmony
of body, mind & soul.
They decided for ever after, to share their lives freely, openly, joyously,
as if destined to make each other complete.
