Finding and Keeping Love - Preventing Extra-Marital Affairs
In talking with people about their romantic relationships we have gradually realized that many couples or potential couples are not taking time for love!
Many marriages and relationships are dying of neglect.
Why?
People are simply NOT making their love relationships a priority in their lives.
Relationships cannot survive in a vacuum.
What happens to couples in this kind of situation? Infidelity, loneliness, and divorce are often directly related to the myriad of distractions in everyday life.
We, all of us, are spending very little time with our significant other. So, give it some thought, what are you spending time doing instead of spending time with your significant other?
Most of us are NOT having fun doing all the stuff that distracts us from the most important relationships in our lives.
Here are some of the bad distractions we all struggle with.
1. Your boss, the most demanding human you know, wants too much of your time. ALL your time wouldn’t be enough for him or her.
2. Your mother (father, neighbor, friend, etc), who’s bored and lonely and wants you to keep them entertained.
3. Perky, the volunteer coordinator, who wants you to work hard FOR FREE to make them look good!
4. Housekeeping on your own space that takes too much time if you do it right.
5. Shopping for stuff that you don’t really need, can’t store, and can’t pay for without dipping into credit cards and your future financial health
6. Your car in which you spend hours a day commuting and/or hauling kids to every activity known to compulsive parents.
7. Your home, which is a brand new McMansion an hour or more commute from your work.
Go back and look at the list again. All of these things involve choices we can make to allow ourselves time to have relationships that are better and more rewarding. And it’s not just romantic choices. It can be all our relationships.
But…it’s all your choice. So…
Make better choices. You know, the old saying, “Think outside the box”? Well, do it!
Good loving IS worth it!
Good relationships take time and attention.
1. Work at home. If you are available, just at hand (so to speak), it’s good for your relationship.
2. Commute shorter distances. Why are you riding in the car when you could be making love?
3. Spend less time at work. A career is a way to make a living. As an old boss of ours used to say, “On payday, we’re even.” Work is NOT a life.
4. Spend less time with coworkers and more time with your lover. Is the first person you can reach your lover or a coworker you don’t love but will take in a pinch? See what we’re getting at? Infidelity MAY happen just because it’s all that’s available.
5. Manage your finances so that you have financial power over your own life and business. If you aren’t tied to an awful job by necessity, it’s good for you and everyone you love.
6. Buy medical insurance that is not tied to your job. Same reason as above.
7. Make sure your lifestyle choices don’t take over your life and force you to sacrifice your relationships to the financial pressures of keeping up with the Jones. Stuff is never an acceptable replacement for love.
It’s a personal decision whether or not you make love a priority over other things that demand your time. Choosing a short commute to work over a long one could mean you have more time for love. Make the choices that will mean you get and give more loving.

I am Born on Valentine's Day
Valentines Day is not just about roses and chocolates, but a lifelong commitment to one that you love and cherish as according to the holy matrimonial vows. I have stayed loyal to my wife for 32 years through good and bad times. In the sanctity of marriage, it says to love one another in sickness and in health and till death us do part. The reality is that I can stick it out through thick and thin like I did with my wife. That is what Valentine’ Day is-the Reality of Love. My book, “ Loving a Schizophrenic” strongly promotes the bond of marriage.
Btw, I am born on Valentine's Day.
Cheers

Everyday is Valentine's Day
Every day is Valentine's Day! Because it is love that makes the world go round not money! You are here today because of love and think for a moment, take away love and you will find the world an empty shell lacking meaning and passion!
What love means to you? Love means different things to different people but there are a lot of things about love that people can agree.
I've written a love poem over 20 years ago and I will like to share with everyone on this Valentine's Day, please feel free to share it with your loved ones and friends. I have composed it into a song, anyone out there who is a musician and want to partner with me to promote this song? It could hit the charts and inspire
millions of people!
LOVE
Love is happiness in being together
Love is wanting to share
Love is accepting each other
Love is thinking of you no matter where
Loving is giving and receiving
Loving is trusting and believing
Loving is forgiving and rewarding
Loving is feeling and caring
Love countless ways like millions of pebbles on the shore
Love is beautiful like stars in the skies
Love is all these to me and more
Love you can see in my eyes
Hope you enjoy this poem and share it with your loved ones and take time to express your love and say those three important words: "I love you"
