A lot of people love reading books – especially love stories. Similarly most people also love music – especially love songs. This brought me to wonder, are these portrayals of love good for our own love life? Can they heal our wounded heart? Can they help us find someone who can love us until death?
Let’s face it, relationships are complicated. Everyone wants to meet the “right” person, but it’s not as easy as movies make it out to be. Many couples rush into marriage, not thinking about the things that could come up later in a relationship. And many others keep postponing it for the fear of marrying the “wrong person” and ending what could have been a great, loving and happy relationship.
You’re out with your fella and a gorgeous woman walks by, he almost breaks his neck from following her with his eyes. Experienced this before? Well, before you get angry and accuse him of being unfaithful or an outright pervert, you might want to take a peek at the motivator behind his ‘wandering eyes’.
I’ve had a few girlfriends go through break-ups recently and it sucks! But we’ve all been there right? Having your heart broken is part of life and being human. Unfortunately, while we’re in the middle of the saddest times, it seems as if our world is over and there’s no end in sight. Fear not! It does end and there are better things to come, just sometimes it can be a little difficult to see the light through the darkness. Here are a few ways to help heal your broken heart… 1. Spend some time alone…it’s OK to be sad.
Many years ago I attended an introduction class for Co-counseling or Re-evaluation counseling (peer counseling). One of the first exercises we did was to sit with a partner and trade time JUST listening while the other person talked about something that was troubling them for 5 minutes. It was incredibly difficult to just listen! What the teacher told us is that most of us have rarely, if ever been well listened to. We have an unconscious need for good listening and therefore have a hard time listening well to others.
I don't know of many young women, such as my 23-year old self, who can say that they have found their ideal partner. Let alone a handful who can say that they married that person at the age of 20!
