I'm not really sure about how other men feel,
but one big worry for men is whether he can bring the bread and butter home every day.
(This money problem will only go away if money grow on trees.)
There is alot of times when I look around me...some of my friends who managed to get high-paid jobs can manage to leave the problem of financial insecurity aside.
For me, I don't think I can.
My pay is not of high range and when I work out my expenditure for every month, it leaves very little for savings.
Some of my mentors told me that a man can never really be financially free if he works for others.
I take their words for it as they are making tens of thousands per week!!!
As I was browsing through the internet, there are many internet savvy brides who built their websites and are selling some wedding hand-made items. And they are doing quite well.
There could be many reasons for doing that.
One of them is to make enough money for her own survival.
Others could be to fund her own wedding.
The rest merely do it because they love doing it.
I really wonder who are those lucky chaps who do not need to worry about saving enough for wedding.
I knew of some friends who are from very rich families and they won't even blink an eye for spending hundred of thousands of dollars on their wedding.
On the other hand, I'm not really sure if they are really considered lucky as they do not have the chance to practice their financial planning between husband and wife.
While typing this post, I remembered many of my friends who are around my age and are getting married.
Irregardless of gender, money is always a big headache for them.
What about you? Is having enough money an issue for you?

Principal or Tradition Love and Relationships
Principal or Tradition Love and Relationships
I have always been the type of individual that others come to when they have problems. Successfully I have contributed to helping others maintain marriages that was near its end. While Certified in Developing Capable People Skills, I intend to move forward to a Master's in Criminal Psychology. Why? I have no idea when my best potentials are obviously helping others remain married, and gain stability in their life, and so forth. The rewards for my efforts and advice have been a great reward. Examining marriage, traditions, and principals, I feel can help gain a better understanding, as well as help us to look inside ourselves to see where we can improve in our lives, and in our marriage. We must remember that God instilled in us the truth that leads to success. If you listen to your conscious, you can often find it easy to resolve most issues. We must be careful listening to our hearts, as the bible states, "the heart is treacherous and deceiving." If we want a successful marriage, we must submit to God's word by following his principals laid out in the bible. Marriage is a commitment between two mutual individuals that is often taking lightly nowadays. A long time ago, it was nearly impossible to get a divorce; today however, nearly everyone can get a divorce on most grounds. The bible clearly states that the only grounds for divorce are adultery. Yet many today go to the County Clerk , Priest or some religious minister to take their vows and shortly thereafter file for divorce by reasons that are inconsistent of adultery. Often the motive is to test the arrangement for a time to see if the two are compatible. When there is a breakdown in the marriage, often couples will resort to divorce rather than find a solution for making the marriage work, or else commit to outside relationships believing the fornication acts will result to repairing of the marriage. Whether you have financial burdens, stresses of everyday living, pressures in the family, or influences that lead you astray, it takes work to lay a solid foundation for marriage. The price you will pay for working together will exceed the price you will pay for ignoring God's laws and principals.
The Consequences
The consequences of divorce often include alimony, in which include repayments for alimony issued by the courts. (Rapid Law) Lawyer fees, arrearages, property, child support, and other fees are pending when filing for divorce. As you can see, there is a high price to pay for lack of effort in a marriage arrangement. "What God yoked together, let no man pull apart." If a woman is in a relationship and her spouse is abusive, the woman has a right to ask for an officially permitted separation. If the man is not supporting his family, or committing adultery then a woman has a right to ask for a separation or divorce. The listed are the only recordings legal rights originally lay out whereas a man and woman can divorce or separate, yet the law often goes against the principals, and permit divorcing on any grounds.
Changing Traditions and Principals
The traditional and principal laws are often changing, which most times leads people to confusion. When people are misled, or adjusted constantly they often find it easy to take the shallow road to relief, rather than taking the extended road to recovery.
Some of the common reasons for divorce are jealousy, (which is easily fixed), abandonment, abuse, bigamy, imprisonment, guilt, adultery, and conflicting beliefs; decrease in sexual/mental/emotional satisfaction and breakdowns due to lack of work on both parts. Examining the reasons we can see that, bigamy is officially unauthorized, since it is adultery; adultery is a lawful reason, but for the most part, the reasons are shallow. Of course, no one should remain in an abusive relationship. It is nearly impossible for abusive partners to change their course. Guilt stems from lack of participating, sinful acts, or going against conscious beliefs. Imprisonment is obviously another issue that we would examine closely. Sexual, mental, and emotional issues are no reason to take the shallow road to resolve. In fact, the reason is often resolvable by both parties by understanding each other, communicating, and working toward gratification within the marriage arrangement. Breakdowns in a marriage are resolvable in most cases, providing the couple works together to find the source, come to agreement, and move forward.

How Do You Know If He or She Loves You Or Just Needs You?
Picture this: You meet this person who seems to meet your every need and the relationship flourishes for a while but suddenly and out of nowhere he or she needs some time to think and figure things out or has so many doubts about him or herself, you or the relationship, or he or she just stops calling and rarely returns your calls. You are left stunned and confused over his or her sudden change in behavior: What happened? What did I do?
What you did is that you developed an attachment (based on need) to that person and got it confused with love.
So many men and women often use the word "love" when they really mean "need". I have many of my clients who come to me with a broken heart, "I really love him/her" but when we analyze what he or she really means, the person realizes that what they really meant was, "I really need him/her"
What's the difference?
Have you had crush on or "fallen in love" with a woman who seems so gorgeous and wonderful and one month or year later look at the person and see butt ugly and "has serious emotional problems". Or have a great sexual relationship with a man you are not compatible with and although it is so obvious that your relationship is just a 'booty call" in which you feel used, you are still willing to put yourself out there to be used, misused, abused and reused again and again?
That is attraction based on need and not love. When you are driven by an unfulfilled psychological need for validation, obsessed about the romantic stuff or pushy about getting into a relationship you'll typically develop an affinity to a member of the opposite sex who seemingly meets whatever need it is. Your emotional state (fear, anxiety, low self esteem, desperate, drunk, superficial, unrealistic, broke or struggling financially, angry, lonely etc) at the time you meet makes the person appear more attractive and desirable than he or she actually is. In a way that person temporally alleviates those "feelings" by providing temporary comfort making you feel good about yourself.
The same applies to when someone is attracted to you because they think or have convinced themselves that you will make them feel good.
How can we determine whether what we feel is love or attachment based on need?
1. Love based on need is often based on unrealistic expectations of perfection: "We had very much in common. In fact, he/she is perfect!' The irony is that our object of unrealistic expectations is often also looking for the perfect man or woman. Go figure!
2. Love based on need is often based on opinions like good looks, status, material possessions, race (including "loving" someone just because he or she is of a different race), etc. which may be quite irrelevant or even obstacles for being able to live happily together with the person.
3. In love based on need, your feelings are a "little" exaggerated in that you are caught up in uncontrolled and overwhelming emotions which run from one extreme to another - from feeling deeply in love and being loved to feeling uncertain and even depressed.
4. When you need rather than love someone, you feel fear, anxiety, worry or jealousy especially when separated from him or her. This kind of "love' often leads to possessiveness and possessiveness leads to FEAR of losing, fake affection out of fear, overprotection, craving or even the feeling: I can't live without her/him.
5. There is a sense of "owing to" in the relationship. In love based on need, how much each person "loves" is measured by and dependant on how much the other person fulfills a need or indulges a desire. We often close our eyes to the negative qualities.
6. Being in "love" based on need feels very exciting but it is also mixed with a fair amount of "pain" and the feeling that you are somehow "suffering" or not being appreciated and valued - enough.
It can be a sobering experience when one deeply reflects on what we normally describe as "love". Try this experiment. Ask the man or woman you are dating in person or online "what kind of person they are looking for/interested in". If someone's is driven by need, they'll say something like "I want a man/woman who looks like... or makes me feel... or who does this or that for ME... They'll run you a list of their "NEEDS" (often very unaware) and the kind of person who they believe will fulfill those needs (read between the lines, you'll not miss it!). Better yet, go online and pull up a profile of a potential mate and you'll see what I mean by "looking for a person to fill a need".
A person driven by REAL LOVE on the other hand may something along the lines "I am interested in a man/woman, I can do this and that FOR... or I can do this or that WITH. They send the message that they feel they have something about themselves that is VALUABLE and want to share it with a DESERVING person.
So if you have a crush on someone or have been dating him or her, the potential for something very special could be there... but you must be willing to take the risk of finding out what the person thinks and wants and needs in another person and in the relationship (what makes him or her tick). Doing that may be risking rejection, but knowing is much better than just guessing or creating bonds that may turn very unpleasant!

Meeting, Making & Keeping Couple Friends
Besides being a lot of fun, there are many good reasons to seek "couple friends." They can empathize with the joys and challenges of being in a committed relationship. It gives you a chance to hang out with members of the opposite sex, without putting you or your relationship in compromising situations. And as an added bonus, spending time with other couples is incredibly educational. Seeing how other couples interact puts your own relationship in perspective. It gives you the opportunity to learn from their successes, and their mistakes.
So once you've determined that you're in the market for some new "couple friends," what's the best way to meet them?
* Hello again. Chances are you have some old friends who drifted away after they got married. Why not get reacquainted?
* Branch out. Don't be shy. Put your married friends on notice that you're on the prowl for new friends. You might be pleasantly surprised to find how excited they are to introduce you. Remember, you're not the only couple looking for new buddies.
* Open your eyes. Many of the most successful couples friendships are those based on similar interest. Chances are you're rubbing shoulders with many good candidates on a weekly basis, whether it's at the park with your kids, the movie theater, or even the table next to you at the restaurant. You might find it's as easy as striking up a conversation.
* Family First. If your family is local, organize an outing with other couples in your family. Have everyone invite another couple.
* Surfs up. Try logging onto Kupple.com, a website specifically designed for couples in search of other platonic "couple friends."
So you've met them. Now what? A few pointers:
* Listen up. Most of us have been on dates with someone who talks about themselves the whole time. Chances are there was no second date. Make sure you give the other couple ample time to talk about themselves.
* Take it slow. Once you start "couples dating" you'll find that many of the skills and conventions you learned while "singles dating" still apply. Take it one step at a time. Give yourselves time to get to know each other. If you're interested, don't be afraid to show it, but make sure you're also receiving signals that they're interested before you go planning your double vacation to Tahiti. By the same token, if you're not interested, that's okay, too. You're not doing anyone any favors by nursing a dead dog.
* Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. You may find your dream couple on your first date. And you'll probably find that if you approach each "date" with excitement and enthusiasm, your enthusiasm will be returned. However you might find it's just not a good match. Or that due to any number of reasons, your significant other doesn't get on with his/her counterpart as well as you do. If this happens, be willing to compromise. Ask him/her to consider giving them a second chance, but if things still don't work out, be prepared to move on. Remember, this should be about bringing you closer together, not further apart.
* Be open. While it's good to hang out with couples who share similar interests, you may find that some couples' idea of fun is not quite what you were expecting. If it's not something you're absolutely certain you wouldn't like, give it a try. You might be surprised. It might even be a bonding experience.
So you've met the "ones." Here's to keeping them around:
* Be respectful. You like them and they like you. Everybody's happy. But people are complicated and there's still a lot about them you don't know. Try not to assume anything. Just because they seem fun and laid back, doesn't mean that they want to hear somebody dropping the "f-bomb" every other sentence. Try to abide by more generally accepted norms of polite behavior while you're still getting to know one another.
* Reciprocation, Reciprocation, Reciprocation. We all know real friendship isn't about keeping score. But you'll probably find that being reciprocal helps people get into their comfort zones quicker. Enthusiasm begets enthusiasm. If they invite you to a barbecue one weekend, invite them to a movie the next. You won't always need to be so tit for tat. Just when you're getting started; friendships are most fragile in their infancy.
* Talk amongst yourselves. Since the four of you are all interacting so closely, it's quite common for jealousy to arise. Make sure you and your significant other talk about it at once, lest it drive a wedge between you, them, or all of you. The same goes for any other issues that may arise.
* Make time. We all lead busy lives, but don't forget to try to find time for your new "couples friends," even if it's just a quick lunch date. Try to see them at least once a month, so that your friendships don't lapse and you find yourself back at square one.
* Be a friend. Like any other friendship, "couples friendships" aren't just about having a good time. The deeper ones should have some element of mutual helpfulness. It could be as simple as teaching him how to hook up his TV to his stereo, or it might mean watching their kids for a weekend. Whatever it is, these good deeds are often what bring couples closest together.
So now that you're armed with some good information, you have a lot to be excited about. "Couples friendships" are often some of life's most rewarding. They give you the opportunity to learn about each other, and relationships, all while having a good time. So pick up your phone, your mouse, or your spouse, and get out there! The right couple awaits.

Considering Marriage Counseling During Relationship Struggles
With married life comes struggles and with those struggles comes the desperate attempts at finding a solution through problem solving tactics or going for marriage counseling. Once considered a last resort, marriage counseling is now the talk of the town and the best possible option for people who have lost the ability to communicate. These types of problems are common and many people are turning to marriage counseling to improve their relationships and get some much needed peace in their lives.
Many people from all walks of life think that they know what is best for individual marriages and that they are capable of offering advice to any and all couples. The truth of the matter is that each couple is different.
The struggles in marriage, while possibly retaining some common ground, are most often categorically unique to the personalities of the couple. While there are some instances in which a little marriage advice from a friend or family member can be extremely helpful, in most cases the notion of anyone being qualified to give marriage advice should be considered suspect.
For this reason, marriage counseling should be taken with a grain of salt. While there are certain cases in which an outside and objective opinion is absolutely detrimental to the prospect of saving a marriage, there are other instances in which the best advice is to learn with one another as to how to solve the problems of a marriage from within.
Many people are far too apt to turn to outside help without actually testing the resolve of their communication first, leading to an inability to discuss and talk out one's own problems. Talking to your partner should be the first consideration in terms of getting marriage advice, but many people completely discard the partnership aspect and treat their husband or wife more like a silent partner.
The most important thing to remember about marriage is that the foundation is built on communication. Without communication, even the greatest external advice through marriage counseling can end up being futile. Marriages will have conflicts, but it is important to realize that there are healthy ways to escape those conflicts and find the answers. While the foundation of a good relationship needs some conflict to survive, the methods of dealing with those conflicts is more important than anything else.
When considering marriage counseling, there are several questions to be asked about the nature of the relationship on the whole. If there are issues in terms of communication within the confines of a trusted relationship, how many more issues will result from taking an outside party and adding them to the situation?
Furthermore, if the parties are closed off to advice on issues such as pride or jealousy, how likely will marriage counseling be to solve any aspect of the relationship or its problems? These questions need answers before marriage counseling is considered by any couple.

Successfully Removing Jealousy With Hypnosis
One of the most common things that destroy relationships is jealousy. Known as the "green-eyed monster", jealousy is an emotion that usually stems from feelings of insecurity.
Because a person has low self-esteem, he has difficulties trusting his partner. Signs of jealousy include being too clingy, asking too much questions, checking his partners whereabouts all the time and believing that his partner is cheating on him with another man. These actions can destroy a relationship quickly and harshly.
In mild cases of jealousy, you could feel slightly miffed if your partner checks out another guy. But this feeling passes because you completely trust her. This type of jealousy can still be considered to be perfectly normal and completely healthy. On the other hand, a person who has issues with trust will not overcome his feelings of jealousy.
Instead, he will let the feelings of jealousy take over. You may have heard stories of couples who fight horribly because of jealousy. In extreme cases, the feelings of jealousy turn into rage and become uncontrollable. Unfortunately, you may end up hurting yourself or your partner.
Before this happens, you should make an effort to control your jealousy. It is important to tell your partner the causes of your jealousy. Your partner may not realize that you are feeling such emotions. Talking with your partner will even help you feel more confident in your relationship, enough to trust your partner completely. Whenever you feel like the "monster" is taking over, leave the room or take deep breaths. It is important to calm down in order for you to think rationally.
A painful and usually unsuccessful solution if you need professional medical help would be to seek out the services of a psychiatrist. They could help you find out the reason behind your jealousy and help you deal with them effectively. Your psychotherapy would include counseling and possibly group sessions. It would require much dedication on your part to go to your psychiatrist every time since treatments could take several months, even years depending on your case.
You could always try hypnotherapy if you are looking for a treatment for your jealousy. It could take as short as one session or require three to five visits before your jealousy is managed. Hypnotherapy works by targeting your subconscious and altering your behavior through hypnotic suggestions. Certainly, this treatment is less expensive than psychotherapy and also considered to be very effective.

Overcoming All Types Of Jealousy
Time has flown by so fast and many things have changed. Lives of people have become so fast-paced that somehow things like love and happiness have taken a backseat to career, business or money. Communications are centered not on how to foster relationships but on how to make the money tree grow.
Because of this, quite a lot of things have been taken for granted and people are slowly shying away from emotions that are the core of living. As a result, many feelings are harbored inside and these include regret, resentment and even the lurking green-eyed monster, jealousy.
This purely negative feeling that is known as jealousy is not only limited to your insane urge to grab at the hair of the woman your husband or boyfriend has been seeing behind your back. Jealousy could also be applied to the feelings of resentment that you have over the promotion of your colleague or your husband. It is also your inability to express your anger over why your husband treats your kid with more respect than he does you.
For those who are under the spell of this green-eyed monster, jealousy is a feeling that devastates them to the core and even results in them feeling great extent of anguish and pain. However, jealousy will not only affect the people who feel it, but also the people who surround them. Even if they try their hardest to hide their jealousy, it will always come out by the way they treat the people around them and how they will just allow it to ruin lives and relationships.
The basic approach to overcoming jealousy is knowing the reason behind it and understanding why it is happening. Usually, jealousy boils down to low self-esteem, insecurities and even huge love for a partner. While it is really great to love your partner so much, remember that anything that borders on the extreme is also bad and could just lead to hurt and devastation. Low self-esteem and insecurities are also two components of jealousy that should be gotten rid of.
If you are really intent on seeking help for your jealous tendencies, then maybe you could ask a hypnotherapist to treat you. Through hypnosis, your therapist will be able to go beyond the barriers that are keeping you from thinking positive thoughts. He will be able to delve into the negative blocks that are lodged in your subconscious and ease them out until you will be free of them. Once this happens, you are already able to overcome the lowness of your self-esteem as well as break away from your insecurities.
Then, all your jealous feelings will just fly out the window. Once the green-eyed monster is gone, you will finally be able to foster a relationship that is based on confidence and trust and be free from the anguish of always doubting.

Jealousy And Effective Solutions For It
Jealousy is a major depressing feeling. It has several definitions but regardless of disparity in its definitions, a common theme may be noted - that jealousy is a significant idea. Jealousy is often misconstrued as similar to envy but distinctions were made identifying jealousy to be a desire to keep what someone has while envy is that desire to obtain what someone does not have.
Jealousy may be constructive or destructive. Some psychologists believe that jealousy is necessary as love in a relationship. It is a natural unavoidable response which normally represents longing for things one may have lost. It can be an adapted response to the society or an intrinsic and unconscious behavior for genetic survival.
However, there is also what is known as dysfunctional jealousy which is considered the dark side of this emotion. This misplaced jealousy is what ruins good relationships. A significant percentage of murders are committed by some jealous lover. Most couples undergoing psychotherapy have jealousy problem.
One common cause of this jealous behavior is insecurity. It could arise from a feeling of uncertainty in a relationship, be it a love, working, or any other relationship. And this usually occurs when there is an existing competition in a liaison with somebody.
Oftentimes, jealousy is also caused by women's tendency to be protective of their man. Their fear of losing their man because of dissatisfaction in their current relationships also drives them to be jealous. Men, on the other hand, portray this jealous behavior if they feel intimidated by other men. This is because of their concern to protect their egos.
But jealousy could be managed so as not to destroy relationships. Most of the time, mental stress brought about by negative emotions is what causes jealousy. Pessimistic outlook in life can be a hindrance to one's happiness by causing emotional imbalance which ends up in health problems.
Since one's mental state causes this jealousy, then the best way to get rid of this jealous behavior is counseling. One only has to listen to what professionals (like psychologists) say about this feeling. Hypnotherapy could be an effective solution to this jealousy problem. Through these techniques, one is guided towards proper rerouting of love demonstration. One has to learn to let go and trust a partner to avoid that tendency to control a loved one's life. Jealousy can be controlled by discarding all negative thoughts and emotions.
