How Does Divorce Affect the Family

By katie George

If you start cutting down trees in a forest, at some point the forest is no longer anything other than a clump of trees. Where the forest is a very special ecosystem that supports life of all kinds, a clump of trees is not. Similarly, when a husband and wife get a divorce, what once was a family now becomes individuals who are related - a clump of trees.

If we had true, objective wisdom and the ability to calculate what each of our actions brings in the future, I am positive we would see divorce as one of the greatest calamities imaginable. Think of the misunderstandings that lead to a possible divorce. Think of the breakdown in communication and the heartache all the individuals in the family feel as the mistrust and suspicion builds. Then add the horrendous polarization that takes place in America's divorce courts.

The family unit that once was, no longer exists. The mutual reliance that each person felt disintegrates. Friends have to choose sides, relatives are confused and children have no idea which way to turn. Property is split, income is now diverted into two separate streams, common resources are divided and petty fights break out over trivial objects.

If we had true, objective wisdom and the ability to predict the results of our actions, I am positive no one would ever get a divorce. If we could look into the future and see our children all grown up without a divorce, and by some magic wand all grown up after a divorce, I know that no one would ever get one.

There is a saying I coined: "The effort required to change one's self is like a speck compared to the suffering one experiences if they don't change." This same philosophy applies to the question, "How does divorce affect the family?" The effort required to learn how to be happily married is microscopic compared to the suffering of getting a divorce. - 15784

How to Lose Weight Eating Quality Protein

By Ricardo d Argence

Protein is a key factor in the body where it is used in very large quantities. It is called a macronutrient and provides about 4 calories a gram to the body for its health. It is vital for the formation of the body's building blocks. The body uses dietary protein to do many things including growing and maintaining the skin, immune system, eyes and muscles. It's also useful for the body to make enzymes and maintain the health of the blood.

Unlike some other nutrients, our bodies do not produce any protein so it is vital that we take in enough protein on a daily basis.

Any hope of building and maintaining strong muscles hinges upon sufficient protein in the diet. The more muscle mass you produce the more effectively your body burns fat also. Considering that your heart is a muscle, it can easily be negatively affected by a low or no protein diet.

If you eat protein in every meal is a way to prevent cravings for certain foods you should not have. That's because it will leave you more satisfied. Protein takes more energy to digest than other nutrients. During the process of protein digestion, body temperature is raised by a few degrees.

This small increase in temperature results in a thermogenic effect that helps the body to more efficiently burn fat calories. This can help you in your quest to lose weight. In addition, by eating the proper amount of protein, it will be easier to refrain from snacking between meals and easier to avoid unhealthy foods that will make you gain weight.

Protein can be used as a replacement for sweets as it is often the case that this is what your body is craving, rather than sweets.

Some examples of quality protein are:

Skinless chicken breasts are much lower in fat than the dark meat on chicken. The skin with its high fat content should never be consumed. Tuna, Salmon, in fact all kinds of fish are great sources for lean protein as long as they are grilled, broiled, or baked. Avoid heavy breaded fried fish. Skinless turkey breasts are basically similar to the chicken mentioned here.

You can also try with: tuna, Salmon, in fact all kinds of fish are great sources for lean protein as long as they are grilled, broiled, or baked. Low-fat cottage cheese is not great protein but also a source of dairy for your daily needs. Lean red meat consumed in moderation is a great source of quality protein. It also is great for the health of your blood. - 15784

Ten Love Tips

By Mary Bush

Love. We all need it, we all want it, and those who say they don't probably need it the most. But few are finding love, real satisfying love. Are you one of them? Here are ten tips to help you.

Number One. Love will not solve your problems. If you have them now, you will have them after you fall in love. Too many people believe that if only they could fall in love, all that other stuff that plagues them will fall away and their life will change. If you struggle with a porn addiction, you will still be addicted after you find him or her. If you have an eating disorder, you will still struggle with your image after you find a guy or girl. If you are a drunk, or jobless, or unsure of where you are in your life, finding someone will not give you the answers or help you change. If you are lazy, messy, uninspired, fearful, or adulterous, these vices will still be yours. You are still the same person. You need to change first, for yourself, and be ready when love comes.

Number Two. Confidence rules the day. Women like confident men and the kind of men women should want, like confident women too. Confidence is an attitude. It's how you walk and talk and act, and most importantly, how you think. If you don't think you are good enough to be with, how will any other person? Start changing the way you think and it changes the way you act. People will notice.

Number Three. Goals drive you and they drive interest in you. Pick something, preferably something you are interested in and get passionate about it. Nothing is more attractive than someone who knows what they want and goes after it.

Number Four. Smile. People like to be happy. And happiness is infectious. Smiles are calming, they charming, they are sexy. Who likes to have their mood dashed? No one. Who likes to feel good, inspired, meaningful? Almost everyone. All it takes is a smile.

Number Five. Don't delude yourself. One of the biggest problems people have is that they want something that they know is bad for them or know wont work out. Its why people are in jobs they don't like, why they are in marriages that only bring them grief and heartache, why they choose cars or houses they can't afford. Don't think you can make a relationship work when you already see problems that will have to be overcome. It's like trying to fit a square block in a round hole.

Number Six. Honesty. From the beginning. Lies are like quicksand. Nothing lasting can form. Don't act. You will tire of it eventually. And don't you want someone to like the real you? If you pretend to be something you are not, it will leave you feeling dissatisfied. Most relationships or marriages fail from people trying to be something they are not. The honeymoon stage passes and they begin to see the real person that they are in a relationship with. This is when people bolt.

Number Seven. Love is often about the right time and place. That means patience. Don't force. It's like hunting rabbits. The more noise you make, the harder you look, the more the rabbits hide. Get on with your life and make other things matter. That's when you find love.

Number Eight. Everyone has faults. Love exists despite them. That's why it's beautiful. You will never find the perfect person. No one can be "it" in everything for you. If you always trust in man, you will be disappointed at some point. We forget, we make mistakes, we are selfish at times, we smell, and we snore. If you can love someone despite their faults, then they are perfect for you.

Number Nine. Love is a country song. Love does not exist on a perfect plain. There are ups and downs just like the songs on your local country radio station. Some call it the sweet and the sour. If you expect perfect bliss all the time then you are not ready for a relationship.

Number Ten. Love takes energy and imagination. If you don't have the time or the energy to devote to a relationship, then don't start it. Love is dynamic. It either grows or dies. If you want it to grow you must devote your time, your energy, and most of all your imagination. - 15784

Relationship Advice for Men: How to Know What a Woman Wants

By Antonio MacGynn

Do men need advice when it comes to keeping their relationships healthy? Indeed they do. What is it that men who want long term, healthy relationships need to know? Sociologists give us some valuable insight.

An important lesson for men is this: Don't listen to what your woman says she wants. Instead, observe her actions. Her actions will tell you what it is she really wants. What do we mean by that? Well, think of some ways women act that indicates the difference. For instance, look at the kind of men they choose.

A woman might say: I want a man who is a good listener. But she chooses a man who dominates the conversation. Or, she might say: The most important thing in a man is a sense of humor. But she only dates guys who have money.

Why would a woman say one thing but do another? Because there are subconscious motivators that get couples together. And therein lies the relationship advice for men.

Sociologists tell us the reason men and women get together is to keep the human race going. In other words, pregnancy may be the last thing on her conscious mind, but when she evaluates a prospective husband on a subconscious level, she's looking for a good father. And that means someone who will provide for her children. She is looking for someone who she can rely on to bring home the bacon.

Sociologists teach us while a man can produce thousands of sperm on repeated occasions throughout his adult life, a woman only has about 400 chances of producing a baby. As a result, they are looking for a man who can provide longevity and stability for their babies. A man who tells a woman he is a lawyer and not a paralegal will have a better chance of landing her. That is because she perceives that a lawyer is a better provider for her future children. But having a good income is not enough. A woman needs to perceive that a man is generous with his resources and will provide for her children. That is why women place such a high value on gifts such as jewelry.

This sheds some light on why the engagement ring must be a large purchase. An engagement ring is a tangible display that her man can provide for the family.

Women are still programmed to think of strength as enhancing the ability to provide. A woman is hard wired, for instance, to choose an athlete over a computer geek. Today people usually make more money from their brain than their brawn, but her subconscious is telling something else

Sociologists tell us men need to understand what has been programmed into the female subconscious over thousands of years. Keep this in mind when you are determining what she really wants --- then give it to her! - 15784

Uncover How To Find Great Dating Relationship Advice

By katie George

Getting good dating relationship advice can lead to a good marriage. There are a number of things that can be learned through dating relationship advice that can carry through into adult relationships or marriage. Many people often discount the notion of getting dating relationship advice, but the advice that one can get while dating can be very helpful in terms of providing patterns for living that can follow into married life.

The area of relationship advice is often an overlooked area because many people feel that their relationships are so complicated that any advice given to them cannot possibly be suitable. The reality is, however, that many of the conflicts in dating relationships are similar to those in other relationships. People tend to argue or fight about similar things and tend to create patterns. For example, many people argue about financial matters. A good case for relationship advice would counter those difficulties with conflict resolution involving fights with money.

As people enter into marriage relationships with a good background of dating relationship advice, the odds of success during inevitable marriage trials improve drastically. This is because, through their dating history, they were able to find better ways to resolve conflicts. The possibility of using a marriage counselor, therefore, tends to diminish with the greater self-sufficiency of the couple. A marriage counselor, while helpful to people that need it, can be a costly option for people in a marriage.

Getting marriage help, for many, is the ultimate standard of helplessness. Many people equate marriage help to a last ditch effort and feel that it says that the marriage is in some sort of trouble. Getting dating relationship advice can be comparable, especially among the land of the proud. The reality is, however, that seeking the advice of people that have "been there before" can be enlightening and can awaken fresh perspectives within relationships. Getting a new point of view out of marriage help or dating advice in any form can be a positive step to improving your relationships.

Dating relationship advice can be helpful on many levels, but it is important to remember the notion that many people in our society are not particularly willing to take the advice of others, especially when it comes to how they manage their personal lives. Getting good advice can be extremely helpful, but many people allow pride to get in the way. Remember that while dating relationship advice is significant for many, it is also not everyone's cup of tea. - 15784

The Complete Guide to Writing Online Personal Ads

By Rebecca Adams

One of the hardest things to do is to present yourself in a positive light. It's easy to make the mistake of trying way too hard - and turning ourselves into fabulous, flawless and divine indivuduals. Or even worse - we don't value ourselves enough or lack a bit of confidence in presenting our selves in the best way. I other words we sell ourselves short.

Life is hectic and complicated enough - so we don't often have all the time in the world to catch someone's interest.

A little effort before hand can reap big rewards.

So get started and write a great description of yourself. Try and be honest in terms of your positive points and your not so positive ones.

1. Get a Great Photo - and Look Happy!

It makes you wonder what folks were thinking when they put their photos up on the dating sites.

Do not - and I repeat do not - take your picture on waking up first thing in the morning, when you're in a bad mood, having a horrifically bad hair day, or after a late night boozer.

The best photos include a head and shoulders shot, good lighting (ideally natural), and you with a big smile on your face. Don't be afraid of colour either. Wearing something bright and colourful will make your profile stand out and give you a bit of 'pizzazz'.

2. Avoid 'Ad-Speak' Like the Plague

Have you ever read these lovelies : "great personality", "wonderful woman", "loves eating out"

Are you asleep yet?

Be specific - the dazzle is always in the detail.

Revealing details about yourself, allows your viewers to form a multi-dimentional image of you. Therefore you appear far more memorable to them.

3. Rub Your Aladin's Lamp and State Your Wishes

Be clear what you want in a person and state it. Don't assume that people will work it out because they won't. The more clear you are with regard to your beloved the better and more targeted your responses will be.

If you are religious and that is important to you - then state it. If you are looking simply to date or if you want something more serious and substantial - state it.

By being vague and general you risk a deluge of responses that you will eventually have to wade through, and this is ultimately a waste of your time and theirs.

4. Tell Me No Lies or Porkies

As tempting as it sounds, do not exaggerate yourself to epic proportions. You are not a movie script.

Physical appearance is an aspect where you can not get away with 'hype'. Describing your self as "hot", "stunning" may not endear you too your audiance as physical attraction is always a personal and subjective thing. It's far more cool to put your photo up and draw your admirers to you.

Your mother may be singing your praises, but a "great person", one who "you will not regret meeting" with a "fantastic personality" is so 80's darling.

Reality check required.

5. The Groundwork is Essential

When getting to know someone, a few key fundamental information points are useful. These include your marital status, age, level of education, job, and general geographic location.

Do not give any specifc information about yourself. This is for your safety.

6. Paint Your Colorful World

We all like heroes, strong characters, people who believe in something important to their hearts.

We love them because we can identify with some value or goal of theirs. We feel motivated and inspired by them.

Now it's your turn to look at your own life - and find the theme or flavour that's flowing through your stream.

Write down the many things that inspire you, make you happy, and make you laugh. Include your best skills and traits, and what makes you unique.

E.G. Soulful and Sensitive Writer in Seattle, Traveller and 'Mean Piano Player'

7. Let Yourself Go

Like with most things in life - often it's the simplest things that make us happy.

So be playful and light, be smart, have fun, and enjoy the journey as it will be a great learning and growing experience for you. - 15784
