How Did I Manage to Settle for ​THIS Person? .

This is appalling to you. You wouldn’t dream of treating a mouse running loose in your home with such abuse. Yet your spouse—your “lover”—feels entitled to bully you and your young daughter this way. You ask yourself, “How did I ever get trapped in this God-forsaken, unfair marriage?!”I’m going to answer this question in three parts. The first pertains to our poor selection of a mate, the second involves a lack of revising our views as we get to know this person better, and the third describes how the person tries to manipulate us into staying.

Around the globe, young men and women have listed attraction and love as the number one criterion for marriage, ranking it above

The Real Problem With Adultery

By Mark D. White, Ph.D. on April 8, 2014 - 7:37am
       
   I found a recent entry in The Philosophers' Mail, entitled “The Pleasures of Adultery,” to be intriguing although ultimately misguided. It takes up the topic of sexual infidelity but places too much emphasis on the sexual aspect and too little on the infidelity, or the broken promises and violations of trust that represent the true harm of adultery.

(The Philosophers’ Mail, affiliated with Alain de Botton’s School of Life, is regularly an entertaining and enlightening read, a welcome effort to use pop culture to introduce philosophical musings—to, in de Botton's words, "read and caption the news with an eye to traditional central philosophical concerns; for compassion, truth, justice, complexity, calm, empathy and wisdom.")

The 3 Relationship Skills You Need to Practice

 Empathy
Empathy refers to being able to step into another person’s shoes and understand their experience and point of view so that you can gain an appreciation of how they feel, and then step out again. Of course, you also have to be able to convey your insights to that person accurately for them to benefit from your efforts at understanding.
Most couples struggle with empathy for a simple and, well, stupid reason: They believe that because they’ve been in the relationship for a long time they "just know" what the other person is thinking or feeling. Of course, countless studies demonstrate the faultiness of that assumption—we’re simply not very good mind-readers, even of our spouses. Our assumptions are almostEmpathy requires a Jedi mind trick of sorts: You have to close your eyes and literally imagine being the other person. You have to get a sense of their perspective, their reality, their priorities, their expectations, their assumptions, and their concerns. Only then should you introduce the current pressing situation into the scene and imagine how the other person perceives the situation and how they might feel about it.

Empathy is a crucial relationship skill in and of itself, but it is also related to the next essential relationship skill. . .

Low Sperm Count: Causes, Symptoms And Treatments.

Low sperm count means that the fluid (semen) you release during an
climax contains fewer sperm than normal. A low sperm count is also called oligospermia.
Your sperm count is considered lower than normal if you have fewer than 15 million
sperm per milliliter of semen.
Having a low sperm count decreases
the odds that one of your sperm will
fertilise your partner’s egg, resulting in
pregnancy. Nonetheless, many men
who have a low sperm count are still
able to father a child.

How to Increase Your Egg Health in 90 Days

In the past a common belief was that the only factor which determines ovarian and egg health was age. Based on new studies, we now know that this may not be true.
There are many factors that may impact the health of the ovaries and eggs including environmental factors, hormones in the diet, and stress just to name a few.

In addition having healthy fertility is based on many additional factors including…

• Proper circulation
• A healthy fertility cycle
• Balanced hormones
• and healthy eggs

Why Is Egg Health Important?

Egg health is one of the cornerstones of healthy fertility. The health of your eggs (ovum) can affect whether or not fertilization and implantation will occur as well as the viability of a pregnancy. In the past is has been thought that we are born with all of the eggs cells we will have for the rest of our lives, hence the reason age can have such an impact on egg health. Egg cells are some of the only cells in the body that do not regenerate… or at least that has been the belief up until now. Recent research has brought up some promising new views on egg production – women may actually produce eggs throughout the reproductive years. Scientists have found stem cells within the ovaries that produce new egg cells.

The Natural Fertility Diet: How to Eat for Optimal Fertility

Eating a fertility diet in preparation for pregnancy and to boost fertility is one of the most powerful health changes you can make. Numerous studies have shown that specific changes to the diet can increase the chances of healthy ovulation, prevent recurrent miscarriage and support a healthy pregnancy.
Nutrition plays a big roll when it comes to having a healthy body and reproductive system. The building blocks for hormones are found in the foods we eat. Antioxidants which help to protect the egg and sperm from free radicals are found in the foods that we eat. Just as nutrients in food can be helpful for fertility, there are some foods and chemicals added to foods that can be harmful for your healthy and fertility.
In working with our natural fertility clients the first topic of discussion, regardless of the reason they are consulting with us, is “what is your diet like?”. Many of their responses are… “healthy” and then they go on to share their version of that. More often than not, it is not a diet that is healthy for fertility.

How to Cure Infertility

Are you or your partner infertile? Before you give up hope or try invasive or expensive medical procedures, there are many natural remedies that can cure your infertility.
It is estimated that up to 15 percent of couples trying to get pregnant in the United States experience some form of infertility. It can be due to either partner, and is either caused by a pre-existing medical condition or what doctors refer to as “non-specific infertility” – a fancy way of saying “we have no idea.”
        This does not mean the end of all of your hopes and dreams of conception. There are many other options available, both with medical intervention and from natural sources, for an infertility cure. Let’s look at both options:

Benefits Of Sex For Women

Here’s one more reason she should be following you to the bedroom: It’s good for her health. A study published by The Journal of Sexual Medicine indicates that women who have sex less than twice a month get sick more often than those who have regular orgasms.

         While the report did not study or correlate the ownership of cats to women who had less sex, researchers from the

Give Up Sugar: The One ‘Crazy’ Thing All Nutritionists Agree Is a Good Idea

It’s been called a poison, a drug and a toxin, and scientists have started blaming it for
everything from obesity to heart disease to diabetes. It’s sugar—specifically, added
sugar, not the kind in fruit—and while we all know we should eat it “in moderation,” that
can be almost impossible (we’ll explain why in a minute). While there are a million ways
to lose weight, feel better and improve your health, giving up added sugar—as
unfathomable as that might seem to those of us who live for sweet rewards, motivators
and indulgences—is the only strategy that health care providers everywhere would
support. Here’s why:
