		<description><![CDATA[<p>It seems that as technology progresses, so does the means by which people jeopardize their marriage.  Years ago when there was only pen and paper, people were less apt to be unfaithful to their spouse.  However, with cell phones, e-mail and online <a href="http://www.imvu.com/rooms/">chat rooms</a> it has become much easier for individuals to strike up a seemingly innocent conversation with someone of the opposite sex and suddenly find themselves flirting with a stranger.  So is cyber flirting dangerous to your marriage?</p>
<p><strong>Easy Pickings</strong></p>
<p>One reason that cyber flirting poses such a risk to a marriage is that it is fertile ground for people with no morals.  People that would like to entice a married man or woman away from their spouse can begin a friendship online that seems so innocent.  Over time this friendship becomes stronger because the married person is telling the other individual all about their problems through <a href="http://www.imvu.com">chat</a>.  The other person becomes a comfort and begins to wedge themselves into the marriage.  Before long the married person is sending suggestive messages or flirtatious language because they are drawn emotionally to this person that is showing so much interest.</p>
<p><strong>Warning Signs</strong></p>
<p>There are certain people that seem more likely to fall prey to online flirting.</p>
<ul>
<li>People with extremely stressful jobs and access to the internet at work.</li>
<li>Married couples that have become bored with their marriage</li>
<li>Couples that have trouble communicating and one person feels that they are being ignored</li>
<li>People searching for love lost in their younger days.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Lack of Reality</strong></p>
<p>The problem that people face with cyber flirting and online cheating is the same problem that people have always faced.  In the beginning of the relationship people are drawn towards one or two aspects about the person. They accentuate those aspects through conversation or deeds.  After the relationship becomes stronger and the people are committed to cheating on their spouse, the new relationship grows sour quickly.  The one aspect that drew them into the relationship is no longer emphasized by the other person and now the cheating spouse is back in the same situation:  they feel ignored and unwanted.</p>
<p>Working on an existing marriage is a much better use of time for the vast majority of couples.  Reconnecting by doing the things they enjoyed when they first met, and setting aside some special time for themselves, without other distractions, will go much further towards building a long and lasting marriage.&#8230;</p>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>So you have spent another Saturday night at home alone eating a bucket of ice cream on your couch.  Your friends have all paired up with great people and you are the odd person out.  The last time you went on a date it ended horribly and made you rethink your relationship goals.  It can be very easy to become demoralized when it comes to dating.  You can only go on so many bad dates before you doubt that your true soulmate is out there.  It doesn’t help when everyone else you know seems to be in a happy and fulfilling relationship. But if you are ready to get back on the horse, here are some handy tips that might come in useful.</p>
<p>You should always have an open mind when it comes to dating and who you are looking for.  If you have strict requirements that very few people can meet you aren’t going to find your perfect match.  The fact is that people have flaws and everybody has issues they’re trying to deal with.  There is no perfect person out there who doesn’t have some sort of problem or quirk that makes them unique.  This doesn’t mean you have to settle by any means, but casting a wider net will increase your chances of success.</p>
<p>You should never put all your eggs into one basket in terms of meeting people.  Try out all different sorts of methods ranging from online dating sites, to social clubs, to the getting set up by friends.  While certain methods of meeting people can be more embarrassing than others, it really doesn’t matter when you finally find your <a href="http://2cities2soulmates.com/" target="_self">soulmate</a>.  All of the best <a href="http://2cities2soulmates.com/the-40-best-love-quotes/" target="_self">love quotes</a> talk about how wonderful it is to be in love.  They don’t focus on how two people might have met on a blind date.  So put your ego aside and pursue any avenues you can to meet new people.</p>
<p>It is important to enter into any new encounter with a fresh start.  One of the biggest mistakes people make is to drag up the past.  They may go into a first date with an expectation of failure, or heavy doubts that the person is going to turn out to be nice.  Try to give everyone a fair start and you will surely appreciate it when they do the same.  Remember that it is never too late to find love and having a positive attitude will increase your chances dramatically.&#8230;</p>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Horse training used to be referred to as horse breaking.  Essentially what you would do is take a wild horse, tie him up to a fence for hours until such point that he had no more fight left in him.  Not only would you break the horse but you would break his spirit as well.  Well it appears that man is not quite different from horses in that today we find ourselves <a href="http://rickeybenns.com/are-you-emasculating-your-male/" target="_blank">emasculating the male</a> in an attempt to show him the way and give him guidance.  As a result our men are becoming more passive and feminine as our women become more aggressive and masculine.</p>
<p>Men just like women have their own language, their own communication styles.  People who are effective in rearing boys into men are those who recognize the unique language and uses it create leaders.  Respect is always paid to the man because they are the patriarchs of the family.  The spirit of a man is not to be broken but built up.</p>
<p>A green man is a man who is inexperienced, unbroken and has had very little training in what it takes to be a man.  A green man although inexperienced is bold and will challenge you.  The temptation is to treat force with force which alienates the man from you altogether.  All men should be respected.  A man will rise up to your highest thoughts about them.</p>
<p>The man has both masculine and feminine energies and needs both to be balanced.  It appears that what many are doing is puffing up the feminine energy and downplaying the masculine energy.  For example, you desire for him to be more in touch with his emotions and he does somehow manage to become more emotionally vulnerable.  But what you are totally unaware of are the side effects of such a desire.  Now your emasculated man turns to you every time he needs to make a touch decision for himself.  His do-it-yourself muscles are flaccid.  He does not know how to fend for himself in the world.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a balance that must be achieved.  You must teach a man in the ways of manhood but temper it with softness.  You must not allow a man to be soft because if you have two of the same thing under one roof, one is unnecessary.  We need more men to be men.  Emasculating a male in the short run seems harmless but such carelessness is what creates a generation of softies.  You never want your <a href="http://rickeybenns.com/do-you-want-your-lion-to-be-a-cub/" target="_blank">lion to be a cub</a>.&#8230;</p>]]></description>
