About 1 day ago 10 Great Family House Rules

If you want a healthy relationship...or kids...or family, here are 10 family house rules to follow:

1. Be Real -- not phony, pretending, or exaggerated
2. Do Mistakes -- own screw ups, don't hide 'em
3. Say I'm Sorry -- without excuses or blame
4. Give Second Chances -- we all need them (give 'em to get 'em)
5. Have Fun -- fun doesn't have to be expensive, just intentional
6. Share Hugs -- they're good for us (even for those of us who don't like 'em)
7. Practice Forgiveness -- it's the key to happiness
8. Be Really Loud -- see rule No. 1 and 5
9. We Are Family -- we is more important than I
10. Above all, Love Each Other

If these family house rules were practiced in all families, I wonder how different this world would be. Well, it starts with us, with our family, our house, our rules. Join me?

About 2 weeks ago Do People Want The Truth or Lies?

Truth or Lies - do people really want to hear the truth? 

It seems a lot of people would rather be comforted with a lie than risk the possibility of being hurt by the truth. I see this a lot in personal relationships. When hearing the truth, people often turn on the defenses and deny, attack, or shift the focus somewhere else.
 
Truth or Lies? The truth could hurt more, but lies definitely hurt a lot longer.

About 2 weeks ago Brain Quiz - Bet Your Brain Can't Read This

Here's a brain quiz. Can you read this? I bet on first glance your first answer is "No!"

Take 15 seconds and try to read it. Are you picking up a few words? Give yourself a few passes through it. Is your brain figuring out more of the words? Now spend a minute studying this and then let's see how you answer the question, "Can you read this?"

If your brain can learn to read this (in about a minute), I wonder what else it could learn to do. So often I hear people say they can't change - and you just changed in about a minute.

About 12 weeks ago Will You Complain About Life Today? Time To Think Again.

Here's a humbling reminder not to complain about life today, but rather to give thanks. In addition to giving thanks for the life we have, let's also give something to help change the lives of children like this.

About 13 weeks ago A Real Man Shows Her He Loves Her Every Day

#guyfriday Showing her that you love her isn't something to make sure you do on certain days of the year, like Valentine's Day.

Showing her how much she means to you is something you make sure you do every day.

If you agree, Pass It On.

About 4 weeks ago How To Love A Woman

I counsel men who struggle with how to love a woman, specifically how to love their partner. Sometimes it's because of how she looks, sometimes because she doesn't love them very well, and sometimes because they don't like who she is.

The key to how to love a woman is to fall in love with the right part of her. Advertising tells us to fall in love with how she looks. Hollywood tells us to fall in love with how she loves. Real people, in successful relationships will tell us to fall in love with who she is.

A woman's character is the most beautiful part of her. How to love a woman? Fall in love with that.

About 3 weeks ago "I Have High Standards" Is Good For A Relationship

"I have high standards" is often believed to be an excuse for why someone cannot find a partner and is not in a relationship. But maybe "I have high standards" should be a requirement for all relationships.

I believe our expectations of others, including our partners, has gotten too low -- we accept, compromise, and settle when we shouldn't.

We attract and get the behavior from others that we accept. Let's set our standards high and raise the expectation of appropriate behavior in our lives. We all benefit from having to rise to higher standards.

About 10 weeks ago Men (and Women) Can Make Lot's of Excuses For Cheating

Our minds can rationalize and justify anything. So it's not surprising that I hear men (and women) give lots of excuses for cheating...

...You don't love me...we never have sex...you hurt me...you don't respect me...I feel alone...

Being disappointed with our partner is going to happen to everybody and every relationship at some point, but being disappointed is not an excuse to cheat.

Fact. Pass it on.

About 2 days ago Is Love Supposed To Hurt? (Not like this)

We all have felt the hurt of love. But is love supposed to hurt? Sometimes, sometimes not.

YES . . . love is supposed to hurt when we don't have it, lose it, don't get enough of it, miss it . . .

NO . . . love is NOT supposed to hurt us, at least someone who says they love us is not supposed to hurt us, not intentionally, not repeatedly, not without stopping or learning to change . . .

Love can make us crazy. Crazy enough to mix up love and hurt. It's crazy to love someone who hurts us. It's even crazier to believe the lies that they're sorry when they do it again and again, that they don't mean it, that it's our fault . . . 

There are people out there who desperately need to hear this message -- Please Pass It Along. If you've mixed up love and hurt, please ask for help. Is love supposed to hurt? Not like this.

About 3 weeks ago "Words Will Never Hurt Me" - Yea Right

You know the nursery rhyme, "Stick and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me"? Could there be a bigger lie than this? I can't believe that this is what so many of us were taught.

We ought to learn, "Words cut like a knife." Or maybe, "Words can cut, but they also can heal."

We all need to be conscious all the time of how easily our words can become like jagged glass, a knife, or even a club to someone else's spirit. And hopefully use that awareness to choose our words more carefully and wisely.

"Words will never hurt me" - false. "Words can cut, but they also can heal." -  #truth
