I am no expert at love. The very word makes me nauseous and sets my body to a defensive mode. But I have had my heart broken once or twice. Badly. By some pathetic loser by the way. Lucky for me, I'm a quick learner. I made ridiculous mistakes of cosmic proportions and learnt a thing or two.

Is your spouse too controlling? Are you too passive? Or are the roles reversed? Control issues refer to who’s in control, who’s in charge, or who’s getting their way.

There is a big difference between pain and suffering. Pain is when you cut your hand. You don’t worry about your hand if you know it will get better. Suffering is when you’re not sure that your hand will heal, and you worry about what is going to happen. In relationship, pain comes and goes, and this is normal. Suffering in relationship comes when you hold back love because you are worried about whether your relationship will survive the pain.

There are no truer words spoken than, “Talk is cheap.” If you are in a relationship with someone who is unreliable and has a knack for disappointing you, is it worth it?

If your thinking is all messed up then acid is going to be produced. Can you see, the foolishness of separating the mind and the body in healing? If you walk around thinking acidic, then treating the body only, is just a money spinner for the practitioner

Some men go through three main phases before entering into a serious relationship. The second phase can prove to be most perplexing and misinterpreted if a woman does not understand the complexity of this phase. If a woman can understand phase two, she can then take steps, allowing the relationship to transgress naturally into phase three.
