1000 Questions for Couples - Book Review

To be blunt, one of the biggest factors in the high divorce rate nowadays is that couples fail to ask the big questions before they take the plunge and walk down the aisle.

If couples simply spent some time asking each other the questions that really matter, they’d greatly increase their chances of staying together.

If only they had spent some more time talking about the things that really matter and also the small things that can make all the difference the chance of a successful marriage would be far, far higher then before which is why this book can be so useful for couples on the verge of that commitment.

That being said is Michael Webb’s “1000 Questions for Couples” the right book to help you in this task?

To be brief, yes. This is a perfect book for this situation for a number of reasons beyond simply giving you questions to ask.

The questions start from lighter more fun ones covering things such as pets, vacations, food, well being and so forth and gradually builds up to the heavier meatier questions such as money, children, career, past and present relationships, religion, morals and even sex.

The amount of questions is exhaustive; I could not imagine any other question beyond what was in this book unless it was very unique and specific to your particular relationship.

It also does not beat around the bush, you get what you pay for and there is no fluff to pad out the book just what you need to know put forth in a way to ease into the bigger questions from the smaller fun ones which I appreciate.

There is also a cute bonus where you can have the ability to deliver 3 to 5 of the questions to your email every day. If 1000 questions sounds too much to handle then this might be a better way to make it more manageable and be able to do this on autopilot!

There is very little I can say that is negative about this book, it does what it says it will do and you can not ask more than that. I do feel though that some more general chapters about marriage, engagement and relationships could have been added to illustrate the points of the questions but maybe I am nitpicking here.

This is a guide that you get the most out of by using it not as a bible but as a good way to inspire you to find out everything you need to know to make sure they are the right one for you to marry. It is also useful for any couple who may want to explore each other and become closer or as a dating resource for those looking for more topics to talk about when on a date too.

How to Catch Cheating Girlfriends & Remove the Doubt

Doubt is worse than actually knowing a terrible truth as it implants a lack of trust in your relationship which may not be warranted while also making you anxious and paranoid. If you want to remove this doubt you need to know how to catch cheating girlfriends so you can actually be sure of their guilt or innocence and from there you can actually confront them, dump them or try to mend your relationship depending on your own unique situation.

Signs of Cheating

The first thing to do is to look for signs of cheating, you have already picked some up if you are looking for this information but the more you find the better to discover the truth. Some commons things you need to watch out for include:

• Changes in schedule - time is needed to conduct an affair so if you find your girlfriend has changed her routine greatly and keeps changing it by working late, being out of contact for much longer than is reasonable and being defensive about this you might have a sign of cheating.
• Changes in Intimacy - The way your girlfriend interacts with you intimately be it sexually or just being close can change drastically if they are cheating on you. Sometimes they may become much more withdrawn and will not react to your advances anymore and other times they may become uncharacteristically overly intimate with you which may seem good but is it you they are actually thinking of. Women’s hormones make a big difference to this so do not jump to conclusions but if you know her usually moods during the month and this is different it may be a cheating sign.
• Defensiveness - People who are doing something they know is wrong will often become very defensive if questioned about it, confronting them directly is a bad idea but if you probe a little bit and find them biting your head off for it you might have touched on a sore spot.
• Phone or internet oddities - If your girlfriend uses her cell phone regularly and the internet and you find them taking phone conversations out of your ear shot and closing programs and browser windows when you get to close they might be trying to hide something.

Investigate

Once you have found enough signs of cheating to be reasonably sure they may be unfaithful you can stop wondering “is she cheating” and get to finding proof of girlfriend cheating because without proof you will find they can simply deny it and can even find ways to blackmail you for your hastiness. Proof of cheating is essential for you to be able to take any action so do not be too quick to do something out of anger and hurt before you have the proof and you understand what and why they are doing this. A few investigation tips for the modern digital age are as follows:

• Cell phones - Cell phones can be a gold mine of information with call records and phone numbers along with SMS messages you can look at. Sometimes you can find a smoking gun but often they will be careful about keeping their phone clean but they do often forget to delete their call history …
• Computers - Computers are an even bigger depository of information with chatting and online activities becoming much more closely linked it can have everything you need from visited sites, chat histories, cached content and email you can find out a lot about their unfaithfulness from a computer. If you find it is overly clean of any information though they may be deleting everything out of fear of being caught.

50 Secrets of Blissful Relationships - E-book Review

Bookstores have been full to bursting point with self-help books for relationships for years, thousands more marriage counselors seem to be setting up shop every year and of course the internet is also cluttered by a million pages about how to have a perfect relationship or marriage. So how does 50 Secrets of Blissful Relationships by Oprah expert Michel Webb differ from the crowd?

Let’s have a look and see:

Firstly, it is good to see that this guide is based on real life examples rather that hypothetical scenarios where the author has complete control of the events in his own mind. Michel Webb actually provides real life examples from his own life to illustrate the points and solutions he makes with a warts and all approach which is refreshing.

Secondly, Michel Webb practices what he preaches and claims to have never had a fight with his wife Athena in 15 years which is remarkable. If you doubt this which I did at first you have to read exactly how he achieved this because it is riveting stuff that comes from real experiences and practice. After reading the book I can now see how this amazing 15 year streak can definitely be possible.

Thirdly, the book itself is simply set out with about one tip per day and just continues like this until the end of the book. Just about every tip had me shaking my head in agreement, as it gave me real-life solutions and several of those “a-ha” moments of profound understanding.

Thirdly, the book is well set out which is an undervalued thing when people are reviewing books. While the content is absolutely vital poor layout and poor written communication skills can turn any book no matter how good in advice into a confused clutter. Michael Webb takes a simple approach you can use in a couple of ways by having one tip a day for the whole book. You can read it one tip at a time one day at a time or you can read it through in a single sitting but the division of advice works well by not overloading the reader and still giving great advice and many a “a-hah!” moment when a p-particular tidbit leaps out at you and strikes a chord of new understanding of relationships.

There are however a few niggles with the book that loveiscomplicated.info found. It is a bit TOO formulaic in its approach which might be a side effect of their layout system. They always have a story or unrelated example, followed by how that information ties into relationships and the topic at hand.

However, if this become annoying or you are impatient to get through a long winded story you can skip down to about halfway down the section to find the point he is trying to make without going through every tiny detail.

Also, instead of the tip titles providing a clear “how to solve X problem” or a clear topic description, it simply has a phrase that ties together with the information. Now while this is no big deal, it would have been nice to be able to skim the book to exactly the advice I wanted. Although if you read the information on the sales page, you can work out what information belongs where in the book. So it’s not too bad.

Another small issue is that the titles to each section do not give you a clear idea of what problem this tip and story associated with it is suppose to solve. There is a phrase that ties in with the information which you can hazard a guess from but no “This section solves or covers this problem”. This makes it hard to skim for the exact solution you may be looking for but it is not too bad as you can guess from the title often.

It is definitely a better book for those who want to read from cover to cover as this seems to be it’s design philosophy, but those that want to skip around will also not be left cold either.

All in all, this is one of the best relationship books I’ve ever seen and it definitely deserves a read, especially if you have serious problems in your relationship.

So, after all this is taken into consideration 50 Secrets of Blissful Relationships deserve a read if you are interested in making your relationship better especially if you are having some serious issues that need to be sorted as this could turn things around for you quickly.

Men & Divorce - Help For Life After Marriage

When it comes to men & divorce, help is not as easily available as you might think. Because of the mans traditional role as breadwinner society and the media especially tend to focus on the plight of the woman who often ends up with the kids as well and their financial difficulties and so on and so forth. Nothing against this, but it is not just women who have it rough after divorce these days and I dare say even years ago!

Recent studies have shown that it is actually men who have the hardest time coping after a divorce not women. There could be many reasons for this but a few common problems seen are:

• Men handle emotional turmoil badly
• Men often lose custody of children adding to stress
• Men are often more dependant on the support of their wife emotionally where women have a better network of friends and family to help them
• Men are often not used to looking after themselves

Not all of these may apply to everyone but the emotional toll on a man after a divorce can cause depression, anxiety and often leads to some seriously foolish actions that come from bottled up feelings and mans greatest asset and liability; the need to do SOMETHING.

This is where men need to stop and think about things. Some men will hit the dating scene too soon without addressing their emotions and others may wallow in depression for a similar reason and that is they do not know how to deal with the whole experience and there is hardly any support for men after divorce.

However if there is one thing men are good at it is solving problems as long as they have the right tools. So in this situation you have to look at yourself and your journey after divorce as a project to work on, you need a plan, you need to investigate things, you need tools be they people to lean on, information of other people in the same situation and so on and from this you can slowly come to grips with this new life because it will never be the same again … but you can rebuild it stronger and with more insight than before.
