"Being In Love"

"Being In Love"

That's how much love is part of our lives. In fact, love is what truly makes life worth living. When we all have love, we realize that life is complete and fullfilled. Love is the prize we all hope to win. And we all know that love is best when it's shared between two people. Living without loving is simply unthinkable! " Love maybe our greatest hope,yet it remains our greatest mystery".

The Characteristic of Love:

Care; Making that person feel secure and protected.

Respect; When you respect your partner, you don't contradict your partner's wishes, rights and needs even if you may not agree with him/her.

Understanding; Being understanding allows you to be open to a feeling, situation, statement or attitude. You may not know the answer to all the questions you might have, but because you are understanding, you're able to see the world through your partners eye.

Acceptance; You cherished the undeniable fact that both of you look at each others as you are and are happy about it.

Appreciation; You knowledge the value of your partner's personality, inspiring you to give back to him or her fully. Making you feel more fullfilled and happy.

Trust; When you trust someone, you put your full confidence on him or her. You see positive qualities of your loved. One's character such as his or her honesty, sincerity,humility and reliability. Its a basic component of a successful relationship.

How important are the moments you have with each other?

- This may be a wornout question, but lovers who spend real moments with each other help them get focused on each other, allowing each other's heart to connect and letting the feelings to flow freely, It doesn't really matters what you do when you're both together. Instead, Its how you pay attentions to each other during those moments together.

Why shouldn't you " hold on too tight"?

- A relationship is like a rubber band. You come together and you pull back at times. This is natural. There are times when you want to be by yourself. There are times when your partner just want's to be with you. Allowing some distance every once in a while creates a feeling of longing that makes every moment together more appreciated and more loved.

-part 1-

• LOVE? where's the fun in that? I know why i choose this way of life, where i could just play around. flirting instead of cuddling, getting drunk and partying instead of having a romantic dinner... its fun, no restrictions, no worries, no heartache, no complications but sometimes when i am left alone, when i see other people with somebody and the craziness of being single has bored me, i ask my self: where's the fun in this?...

You'll learn how to forget , only if you try doing so. -Dr. Burke { Grey's anatomy}

• Never welcome something you can not entertain. Never open your doors if you mean to close your heart. Never accept love if you can't give yourself in return. Never start a relationship you know you want to end. Two of the shortest words in the english language are "Yes" and "No" and yet they are often the ones that required most thought before they are said. Some thoughts are better left unsaid, some feelings are better left kept to yourself, but love has its way of expressing itself despite the distance and despite the silence...

• We have to realize that love's not enough to make a relationship work... We need trust, respect, time, effort, and total commitment... If a person doesn't show respect, doesn't earn your trust, and can't keep promise then no matter how many times they say " I Love You", those words will be empty... Take time to listen to what they don't say, take time to look at what they don't show coz there are secrets hidden beneath they're words... so don't let passion but wisdom decide for you. Love wisely coz its never easy to love and get hurt.

• "Leaving a love you've suddenly out grown can be heart breaking, but it also show you're strong enough to walk away from a relationship that no longer makes you happy...

You always do a little growing up everytime you do a little letting go."

• Somebody once asked me, " How do you hold love?" I answered, "With my hands wide open, my palms facing up and with my heart ready to let go and let the other grow" and that somebody asked " What if it hurts you? " I smiled wistfully and said, " Then it means im doing it right"...

• Love not because you like that person nor because you care... Love not because you know that you can't live without that person...instead, just love and forget about why...

• Love is not about simingly perfect partner and a simingly perfect relationship. Its all about seeing better people along the way yet you stick to your choice and say, "Ive still got the best there is".

• You really dont know what love is until you get to a point we're your ready to trade 10 years of your life for a single kiss, all your wealth for a single touch, or when your willing to leave someone you've been with for the last decade for a total stranger... love isn't about the time you spent with someone or the challenges you've gone through together... its about that rush of butterflies in your stomach or that single heartbeat which says, "I'd rather have a day with this person than spend an eternity with someone else"...

• Love is like the last item on display. You have to hold it and think really hard if you really want to have it or just leave it there, otherwise you might regret seeing someone take the last piece you give up...

"Practice Safe Sex"

"Practice Safe Sex"

The best thing to wear for safe sex is wedding ring!

One day, a conversation between a teenager and his grandfather was overheard. The young man said, " Gee, Grandpa, your generation didn't have all these social diseases. You did not have Aids during your time. What did you wear to have safe sex?"

The wise old gentleman replied, " A wedding ring."

Now,does that make sense or what?

Sex today is presented as a fulfillment of the animal lust inside every man and hardly ever presented as a sacred bond of union inside the institution of marriage.

You don't even need to go to church or attend a service to hear your priest or pastor say this. Just watch the movies and all those television shows and you will see that sex has been so degraded, and the young people of today are even more confused. Now, more than ever, we have to remind them that sex is God's invention. It is to be beautiful thing as long as it kept within the bounds of marriage. It enhances the relationship of husband and wife and it is within God's design for all to follow.

Many business people I know are very good in their product presentations and are good communicators, yet when it comes to talking about sex with their kids, they stutter, they stammer and worse, they stop or give up.

A fundamental principle in good management says that we are to give importance to proper communications and never is the moment more important than this. To communicate to our kids God's design for sex and marriage.

I knew a guy couple of years ago. He was very intelligent. He knew a lot about computers long before I ever knew how to punch the keyboard. He was good looking, articulate and has a photographic memory. One look at him and you know he had all it takes to succeed in life.

He got married. And then the truth came out. He couldn't remain faithful to his wife. He would go on flings with various women and then end their relationship bitterly. Never satisfied, he continued having sex with one woman after another. I later discovered the reason why.

As a kid, he was taught sex in a very wrong way. His family owned a massage parlor and almost every night, the father would bring him and have him watch him "do it" with different women. This was the father idea of "sex education." When he reached fifteen, the father gave him first woman. He never recovered after that. To him, sex was nothing but a cheap thrill. He could never live a normal life. He would be successful in his career for a time, and then he would mess up his life by having affairs with the girls he was working with. You know what? The man was a practical handicap. And I certainly know the reason why.

Sex is beautiful. It is God's design and invention. Sex is not something you engage in everytime you attend a convention somewhere. Sex is not messing up with the people you work with whether in the office or in the field. Sex is not a purchase order given to one of those poor young girls making a living along Quezon avenue at night. Sex is not a peep show you watch through the convinience of the internet or pay TV.

Sex is to be an expression of great intimacy with the one God has given you inside the bounds of marriage. Times are difficult as it is. You don't need another messed up relationship to complicate life. And watch your kids, too. You don't want to have another sexual handicap walking the streets of our city, either now, or in the immediate future.
