Confident women know what they will and will not accept and don’t allow themselves to be pressured or guilted into doing things they don’t want to do.
Appreciation is probably the biggest motivator for a man. In order to keep your relationship happy and fulfilling, it’s crucial to express appreciation for all the things he does, both big and small. As I mentioned, men are starved for your approval and they need to feel like winners. When you…
Men want to feel manly and significant. They want to provide for you; it’s just in their nature to be that way. However, a man will only want to give to a woman who can happily receive what he has to offer, not one who is going to make unnecessary demands in order to feel good about herself and…
Believing in someone and helping him through difficulties is one thing. Staying in a relationship with a man who is incapable of giving you what you need and who ends up dragging you down is quite another.
When love is real and genuine, it will flow easily and effortlessly.
Like attracts like. That is, what you are or think you are is what you will attract.
When you don’t value yourself, you will accept and even welcome people who don’t value you into your life.
Being paranoid that he’s going to cheat will not make him less likely to cheat, but it will make you afraid and insecure, and these feelings will seep into your relationship and poison it.
Stop freaking out! Relationships aren’t that hard, they only feel hard because we stress over them for no reason and create problems when there aren’t any. Everything will be OK, just relax and trust the timing of your life.
Choice is everything. It will largely determine if a relationship succeeds and lasts or fails and leaves you broken-hearted. The good news is that you have the power to choose the man you let into your life.
Bad relationships are the ones filled with drama. The highs are higher and the lows are lower. When I say ‘bad relationship,’ I mean everything from a toxic, codependent situation to a relationship with a man who won’t commit in a significant way, to a match that is simply incompatible.
Men are not responsive to nagging or criticism, but they can be enormously receptive— and appreciative— when you tell them what makes you happy in a loving way.
Sometimes you’ll feel unloved, insecure, angry. Sometimes you’ll want to just run, and sometimes you’ll feel really lonely, and that will surprise you, because how can you be lonely in the company of someone who truly loves you?
Here’s the thing that no one really tells you: good relationships don’t always feel all that good… but it’s not for the same reason bad relationships feel bad.
Instead of focusing on what your partner should be doing, try to look at what he is doing right in the relationship and show appreciation for those things. The more your man feels appreciated, the more he’ll want to do to make you happy.
Happiness isn’t something you get from a relationship (although a relationship can certainly add to your level of happiness), it’s something that spills into your relationship.
Men cannot resist a woman with a smile.
There are many ways to keep the lust alive in your relationship, you’ll probably discover them all by just thinking about how things were in the beginning of your relationship, back when you were overcome by a magnetic force of physical attraction.
...what we call ‘love at first sight’ is really intense lust and desire coupled with the recognition that there is the potential to create something meaningful with this other person.
