By Paul Mauchline You feel ready for a new relationship. You love yourself. You have dealt with childhood issues and those from past relationships. You are clear about the reasons for wanting a relationship. You are willing and able to put in the work that creating a committed, loving relationship requires. Now that you know you are ready, how do you find a partner who is the right person for a committed, loving relationship? How do you know he or she is, indeed, the one for you?

The www.MagicofWoman.com website teaches men how to be more loving, understanding and appreciative of women through the use of newly discovered information contained in Les Morgenstern-s book "What Every Man Should Know About Women".

(WOMENSENEWS)--Every movement develops symbols and rituals that create a recognizable group identity and rally its members. For the 19th century women's rights movement, the celebration of Susan B. Anthony's birthday became such an event; beyond paying homage to a beloved leader, Anthony's "birthday parties" were also political moments.

Could you become the Victim of the Date Rape Drug? By taking preventive measures to protect yourself and your friends, you can avoid becoming a potential victim. April is Sexual Assault Month

You have found the one for you, and are experiencing euphoric love: deep passion, romance, and hot steamy sex. Perhaps you feel like you are "falling in love." Now I ask the question, "How can we reach the next level of loving?" In my opinion, mature love is about rising, not falling. Falling is something out of our control, whereas rising is a conscious growing process. So how do we continue rising in love? How do we graduate from euphoric love to mature love and intimacy?

We all get more cynical about women as we get older. Really what the pain is, simply the dying pain of an illusion that we cultivate as younger men. The illusion serves a purpose (Mother Nature's). Tell you how I got over it. I started paying for their time with cash instead of "emotional currency". Once that occurred I began to see that I was receiving back the same type of flattery and feathers (that I was now getting for my currency of cash) that I previously had received when paying in emotional currency units. For awhile this confused me. I resolved for a time that just whores were ...

The media teaches us that we are supposed to be `liberated' and that means so many choices but these can become new forms of bondage as we find it harder to commit out of fear or making the wrong choices." Dr Francesca Levine, Director, The Australian Institute of Change Britt, 29, is desperate to get married but can't find the right man; Verilyn, 42, is committed to her career and single life; Claudia, 35, wants a life partner but is too terrified to commit; Eve, 41, wishes she'd had enough money to have children; and Kate, 37, is going to have them anyway*. These are attractive...

Are you a single adult seeking a committed relationship? If so, in my opinion, there are some important areas that you need to consciously examine before you search for Mr. or Ms. Right. First, you must carefully consider the question, "Am I ready for a relationship?" Being "ready" involves some very important aspects. First of all, you need to be sure that you truly love yourself. Second, you must have dealt properly with past issues and emotional baggage. Third, you should have a clear sense of why you want to be in a relationship

By Paul Mauchline You feel ready for a new relationship. You love yourself. You have dealt with the issues from your childhood and from past relationships. You are clear about the reasons why you want a relationship. You are willing and able to put in the work that creating a committed, loving relationship requires. (If you cannot answer yes to all of the above statements, I suggest you read my article, "Before You Seek Mr. or Ms. Right"). Once you truly feel that you are ready, how do you find a partner who is the right person for a committed, loving relationship? How do you know he or she ...

Getting to know you means to getting to know yourself, as well as getting to know your potential relationship partner. Before even getting to the point of searching for a life partner, you should be questioning yourself about your values, goals, lifestyle choices, and the type of individual with whom you would like to share your life's journey. As mature adults, we need to have clear answers to these questions before we consider committing ourselves to a serious relationship. I would even go so far as to say that we should be writing down these questions and our answers to them. Writing do...

This dance of Codependence is a dance of dysfunctional relationships - of relationships that do not work to meet our needs. That does not mean just romantic relationships, or family relationships, or even human relationships in general. The fact that dysfunction exists in our romantic, family, and human relationships, is a symptom of the dysfunction that exists in our relationship with life, with being human. It is a symptom of the dysfunction, which exists in our relationships with ourselves as human beings. And the dysfunction that exists in our relationship with ourselves is a symptom o...

By letting go, we actually allow more of the mystery of life to come in for us. By Leslie Karen Lobell, M.A. Isn't that what we wanted all along Freedom like a stone Maybe we were wrong But I can say goodbye Now that the passion's died Still it comes so slow The letting go

For some people who are forced to make a choice between their religion (which often incorporates their family and community) and the person they love, marriage is fraught with challenges and heartache. For others, however, marriage is the ultimate reconciliation ceremony - bringing together the best elements from two religions and cultures

For many of us, love begins with deep passion, romance, and hot steamy sex. This is what I call the first stage of love, the euphoric stage. You are together all the time, love everything about each other, see no faults in one another, and cannot seem to keep your hands off each other. As time goes by, you get to know one another. The party manners disappear, and you begin to see that your loved one is not so perfect, after all. This is the point where, if you are expecting perfection in another person, you will become disenchanted, and the relationship will end. You cannot expect perfection i...

"Infatuation is instant desire - one set of glands calling to another. Love is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows, one day at a time. Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity. You are excited and eager but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine to closely. It might spoil the dream.

Automobiles and Relationships? by Leslie Karen Lobell, M.A. So what on Earth do cars have to do with love? (Other than the fact that some people seem to fall in love with their cars)! Well… maybe nothing… maybe everything. In this case, I would like to use them in an analogy that may help us to look at and better understand relationships. First of all, I need to make a disclaimer: In terms of automobiles, I have never owned either a Volvo or a Ferrari, and this is meant neither as an endorsement of nor as a warning against any particular type of car. I am simply using my own (and what I beli...

One of the most important keys to having a mature, loving relationship is to recognize the importance of practicing the art of loving every day. If you are not prepared to do this daily work, you will never experience mature love. Relationships either rise or fall-- they do not stand still. If you are not putting in the effort, you are neglecting your partner and contributing to the eventual demise of the relationship. Practicing the art of loving, each day, insures that your relationship will rise.

by Paul Mauchline We all know people who have really unrealistic expectations of relationships. So many hopeless romantics believe that love is the solution to life's problems. Many people confuse lust with love, over and over again. There are people who change lovers often, because they thrive on the excitement of the initial stages of love. These are just some of the more exaggerated examples that come to mind. Many of us have our own erroneous expectations about love. These expectations can set us up for disappointment down the road. What we believe about relationships affects our atti...

Do you know someone who is having an affair? Have you ever had, or considered having, an affair yourself? Why is it that so many people are cheating on their partners? What is it that makes someone want to cheat on his or her partner? Affairs are not always premeditated; sometimes they just happen. Affairs can happen almost anywhere. They happen with people you meet at work, people you meet at the gym, or people you meet at the local bar. They can happen with people you have known for years, or with someone you have just met. The nagging question in my mind is, "Why do affairs happen at all?"...

we all have heard the old cliché, "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." So how do we feel about love on the other side of the fence? Is love on the other side of the fence better? In some cases, it is, but in many cases, it is not. I have encountered many people, over the years, who find themselves in a new relationship after searching in greener pastures. These same people, however, eventually miss their old partner whom they know, in their heart of hearts, was the one for them. I recently read a letter, penned to Ann Landers by "Heavy-Hearted In Philly," w...
