A Guide To Love And Relationships

A Look At The Dynamics Of Love & Relationships In The Modern World

Love, Lust and Relationships

Love is non-existing when lust consumes the mind. When two people join in love and relationships and one or both parties are acting out of lust the relationship is sure to fail, unless the two cultivate the tools required to make love last.

Lust is a conscious reaction to emotions triggered by appealing appetizers, and backed with impulses. Lust throughout the years has proven harmful, especially if the action acted out on lust has gain in mind, which focuses on sexual pleasures.

The media, including television, radio, video, et cetera places a lot of emphasis on sexuality and sex. Both women and men are to blame since women permits the media to exploit them sexually, while men watch without considering whom they hurt.

Our history of serial killers alone should bring forth wisdom, insight and intelligence, however it does nothing more but produce more of the wrongful and lustful content and sound.

Child molesters, serial killers, rapists, and other types of criminals often include a history of viewing, listening, or acting on materials provided to them by publishers and producers. While many people excuse the materials, sound and pictures, by claiming only a sick mind can act out this way, they are far from seeing the truth that this type of production only seeps in the mind, thus leaking out over time.

Some of the well-respected people throughout life behaved silently leading people to believe the person is honorable, but later the ceiling dropped when the respected soul committed a hideous crime. The studies showed that these individuals also engaged in pornographic materials, including frequenting strip clubs, and engaging in illicit sexual acts.

Lust has lead to murder, rape, robbery, thief, child molestation, and other hideous crimes, yet the world continues to excuse the ultimate reason that these problems occur.

From the beginning of time acts illustrating Sodom and Gomorrah…Sodom and Gomorrah was a city composed of lustful characters. God brought down the corrupted city, and only few members escaped. In the city acts of murder, fornication, adultery, sexual exploitation, violence, and other harmful acts were rituals.

Relationships built on lust often fail, unless both parties find intelligence, humanity, wisdom, and the courage to work through trials and tribulations together.

Nowadays, few people remain steadfast in love and relationships, while considering love in the context delivered from originality. Religion, politics, unfaithfulness, lust, and other influences often join man and woman together, yet still relationships fail.

Why do the relationships fail? The reason various, but for the most part, lies, disloyalty, deceit, inhumane behaviors and habits, philosophy, theories, opinions, and lack of effort can bring down any relationship.

To understand true love we can visualize an example where one woman survived through adultery, violence, disrespect, lies, inconsideration, mental illness, and other harmful acts committed against her. Now, one would think this woman would get out and leave her troubles behind, but the woman proved her humanity and acted out on those elements that compose love, at the same time a reason stood behind it all. The woman tolerated this behavior committed against her partially because in those days, divorce was unheard of and the woman co-dependant and dependant lacked the skills to stand alone in the world.

The woman submissive to her mate tolerated and lived through a world of hell, but at the same time she illustrated long-suffering, self-control, patients, loyalty, faithfulness, and other elements to make the relationship work until death did them apart.

The woman stood beside her man, yet not once in the relationship did he consider her needs, feelings, et cetera. At the end of the relationship she dished out to him a few of the behaviors and actions he committed against her, yet she could never issue him the harm he caused her. The man is a poor example of a human being, let alone an example of a mate in love and relationship. Thus, the woman shows examples, since long-suffering and other elements that compose; love obviously was evident in her history and behaviors.

Love and Relationships - Mood Makers

Are you in the mood for love?  Maybe you’re not quite ready yet?  Well, once you start bringing romance back into your life or even if you’re trying it out for the first time, you will start to experience a wonderful new mood inspired by your new love affair with your spouse.  Start off slowly with the traditional romantic gestures like holding doors open, flowers, candy, little love letters and special attention to his or her needs.  Once you make these romantic gestures habits in your marriage, you will find that your appetite for more romance and other similar moods will increase with time.  You can satisfy your appetite with some fun and sensuous as well as romantic ideas.

When you find that you are ready to implement romantic acts into your daily routine with your spouse, be creative with what you can come up with.  For example, you can buy decorative pillows for the bedroom with “Tonight” and “Not Tonight” printed on either side.  You can use this as your own private signal for each other and your intentions.  Other couples will use more subtle indications as to their intentions with you in the bedroom. 

When you want to think of your own, you can make up your own ‘code’ to say whenever the mood strikes you.  Maybe your wife will say “I’m getting tired” and then you can say, “Well, then let’s get you to bed.”  Try something even more subtle like saying the same word three times in the same sentence like ‘blue’ or another obvious word.  Walk up to your partner and begin humming ‘your song’ in his or her ear.  Pull a Carol Burnett and tug on your ear lobe- whatever you both agree on will be a small form of your own private foreplay that will make you want to rush home and make love!

Sometimes it takes something extra special that both you and your partner enjoy to get in the mood like chocolate!  Chocolate is one of the few things that most men and women share a love for and never tire of.  You can use chocolate in a number of ways to spark romance or initiate a little foreplay with your partner.  You can always, of course, present your spouse with a gift of their favorite chocolate and that is sometimes enough to get him or her in the mood.  Try bringing his or her favorite chocolates to bed one night and feed each other.  You can always be selfish and only allow your spouse to lick off what melts on your fingers.  Also, you can ‘accidentally’ get some melted chocolate on your spouse!  Lick it off, say that it tastes so much better on them and do it again and again!

Make plans to take a vacation completely focused on chocolate together!  Two of the world’s most famous chocolate factories are the Nestle chocolate factory in Broc, Switzerland and the Hershey Chocolate factory in Hershey, Pennsylvania.  Some people even believe that chocolate is an aphrodisiac.  Why not test this theory on your own chocolate vacation fantasy?
