Sagittarius, The Archer, As A Lover

Sagittarius men are passionate and intense lovers, but he has a tendency to burn-out early on in the relationship leaving you broken-hearted as he dashes off looking for a new interest to fan his passion. Sag faces the truth straight-on, he doesn't dilly-dally around; he adores women and with his boyish grin, you will be smitten.

The duality of Sag compels him to explore his own mind - he sometimes comes off as loud and active aiming his arrows at anything false and pretentious, he will ask many questions to see if you are genuine. Shy or pushy, he will gaze out at the world with a measuring eye for truth.

When in love, the Archer, wants to tell you everything and show you everything - all at one time until you're begging for a 'little time out.' He will shower you gifts, he will want to take you to the best places, and he will entertain you for hours. His ravenous drive and desire to keep you entertained will keep you looking forward to a good nights rest so you can be ready for tomorrow.

His energy and sense of adventure - along with his good nature, makes him so much fun to be around. You will never have to worry about jealousy from the Sag Man, he doesn't know what it is - however, he does have a tendency to think that you are as taken with him as he is with you - it's his nature; when ignored or put off he plays that game better than any woman alive.

Sagittarius men are often seen as every man's 'best friend' because he's never met a stranger - he will talk to the first person he sees in the morning or the last one he sees at night and you will just have to stay near at hand or he just might forget that you came with him.

As his partner, you will be free to live your life as you see fit - as long as his needs and desires are met along the way, once they are, you can move about at will. You can even go on extended vacations, he is very generous with his time and usually his money, however, he'll demand the same from you. If you aren't able to deal with that type of open and free partnership with Sag at the helm, Sag is probably not for you.

Overall, you will have a happy relationship with Sag Man if you can keep up with him, allow him room to roam, and time with his friends (many of whom won't be yours). Life will never be boring, change will be a constant in your life, sometimes hard on kids - but never the same two days in a row.

Keep your sense of humor, and your walking shoes handy, and hang-on, the Archer can give you the time of your life - a lot of fun, excitement, and adventure - if you want a friend and a lover, he very well could be the one.

Charming people live up to the very edge of their charm, and behave as outrageously as the world lets them. ~ Logan Pearsall Smith. There is no sign as charming or as outrageous as Sagittarius.

I Just Want To Be Loved!

The word "love" can mean anything to you but I always see it as a warm, kind feeling that exists between two or more people. I see love when there is a strong affection or deep tender feelings for someone or something.

When Jesus recommended love as the first and the greatest of all the commandments (Matthew 22:37-38), He put a greater emphasis on it because it is the key element in pleasing God. Love-affair is a matter of the heart. There are so many people today who are suffering from a broken heart. They have suffered so much from those who pretend to be in love with them. As a result, it has become a burden and an impossible task to love again.

One truth about love is that no one can truly love another sincerely without first loving God with all his heart, soul, and mind. I have searched everywhere around me to see that person that truly loves me as I am, but I found none. Even the people that vow to stick their necks just because of us cannot boast of 40% of their loyalty to us. This becomes clearer when we take a look at the home-front, to behold the character and utterances of those who swore "for-better-for worse" before settling down with us to build a home. In so many homes, we see couples who create avenues to get misunderstood, even when they have what it takes to live happily together. No one understands marriage except that the person understands the one who instituted it.

The Bible tells us that the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9). It a wonder that people today only do certain things to fulfill obligation. Marriage is not to be included in such things, so let no one go into marriage for the purpose of fulfilling obligation. As a God of purpose, He instituted marriage for a purpose which He expected every person to respect. God designed human life such that every part of it is an opportunity to get involved in someone else's problem. Apart from being a solution to your personal problems, God equally positioned you as solution to someone else's problem. Jesus demonstrated this when He triumphed over Satan's temptation, and then beautifully pursued the tasks of solving other people's problems.

It should be noted that when He encountered the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4), He got involved in her life and spoke to her about her need for spiritual power. One who truly loves is that person who tries to meet both the physical and spiritual needs of others. In a display of unprecedented love, Jesus left His Father in heaven and came to earth as a baby, and gave His life as an offering to God on the cross in our behalf, after living a perfect life (John 19:17-30). The story did not end there; that same Jesus resurrected from the dead after three days, offering anyone that repents His gift of love.

My search for someone to love me ended the very moment I met Jesus. Yours will also end if you could take the step of faith and accept the only Person who took your place when it was obvious that you needed to be rescued from your sin and its death penalty (Romans 5:8). He will become your Saviour NOW if only you can repent of your sin and receive His gift of love. Those who did, their yearnings for true love were assuaged; because Jesus loves us so much more than anyone else.

Does My Husband Still Love Me? Find Out The Answers Before It's Too Late

"Does my husband still love me?" is actually one of the most usually asked questions of women who are married and are having problems in their marriage. If you happen to be asking the same question about your husband, then make sure you read this article from start to finish. That way, you will be able to get the help you need as far as saving your relationship is concerned. Find below some of the tips that could help you answer your question of "does my husband still love me?" once and for all:

1. Watch Out For The Foreboding Signs
Know the signs that will tell you your husband does not love you anymore. These include not talking so much to you as often as before; or perhaps being physically present but then his mind is drifting away somewhere else. Is he always coming home late and telling you he worked overtime in the office? Does his phone keep ringing and 100% unanswered each time you try to give him a call? Can't he be reached when you try to get in touch with him in his office? These are the threatening signs that your husband may be losing grip of his senses and may be falling prey to another woman's clutches.

2. How Much Time Does He Spend With You?
Next, try to look into how much time he devotes for you and your family. More often than not, those women who find themselves asking the question "does my husband still love me" are those who all of a sudden find their husband coming home late and using his work at the office as an alibi to not attend the family affairs. The minute you hear such lame excuses from your husband, make sure you right away step into the problem. Otherwise, you might just find yourself without a husband if you don't.

3. Is He Still As Passionate?
The final test of all is when you lie down together in your bed. Does he still tease you and tell you those sweet little nothings before you sleep? Or has he gone totally sour about your relationship and he goes to sleep without even giving you a goodnight kiss or a little hug? If you are not so sure about the answers to your question "does my husband still love me", it would be best to keep a close watch on his attitude towards you and in general.

4. Drop Him The Question
Last but not least, make sure you finally shoot the question and ask him straight. That should do the trick of finding out whether he still loves you or not. Surely by asking him, you will be able to sense the truthfulness in his answer. In other words, if you can feel some vagueness or uncertainty as he answers, then it can only mean that you have a looming marital problem to take care of and fix. Stop asking "does my husband still love me". Try to nip the bud while it is still early, so we say.

What If, no matter what your love life is like now - even if there's no man at all, or the man you have is pulling away and you feel alone, scared and angry - you could change everything, practically overnight?

You can! And all it will take is a few simple shifts in your words and body language to connect to a man where it counts... through his heart.

Tips for Making a Stubborn Man Fall in Love

A stubborn man is a man who is inflexible or willful or one who is just not inclined to being controlled by anyone. This is a man who once he determines the path that he wants to take is difficult or impossible to dissuade from that path. The saying 'as stubborn as a mule' comes to mind; a mule once it sets of on a path keeps to that path with dogged determination. So a stubborn man is not necessarily a bad love interest unless of course he has determined that he has no romantic interest in you at which point it will be a test of your wills to change his mind. But regardless of how stubborn a man is there must be a way to make him fall in love with you. What can you do or say to make a stubborn man fall in love with you?

1. Don't push him! A stubborn man is an expert at resisting direct push so avoid any in-his-face direct confrontation as it will not work. Nagging or talking him into loving you will not work and the more you do it the more he will resist you.

2. Work your charm on him. You want to get through the chink in his stubbornness by approaching him indirectly. Use your looks and personality to get through to him. Be nice to him but not too nice as stubborn men tend to be suspicious also. Show off your feminine self, treat him well, listen attentively to him and be sensitive to what he needs and do it. Your goal is to make him 'see you' as you really are and to fall in love with you because of what you bring to his life.

3. Share his other interests. Find out what he enjoys doing and become part of that without following him around or asking him for anything besides a shared joy in what he enjoys. You must do this naturally so that he doesn't think you are doing it just to trap him otherwise his defenses might deflect your efforts.

4. Ration yourself. Making a stubborn man to fall in love with you will require that you give him room and time to process your presence in his life so you need to balance being available vs. not being available. When you are available you need to bring all your positivity and your great attributes with you so that his perspective of you is really great. And when you are not available you need to be really unavailable so that he begins to miss you and what he experienced and felt with you.

5. Tell him you like him. This may seem counter intuitive but it works since you let him know clearly what it is that you want and so he can make a decision on what to do. Once you have told him you need to now show him your continued interest in him using the first 4 ways given. You must be persistent in loving him but this does not mean forcing yourself on him but that you stay true to your love for him. Keep showing him that you love him and be sensitive to what he says or does so you can know what's happening with him.

You can only show him and tell him that you love him as he still has to start loving you back at some point. And you cannot force him to love you if he has zero interest in you even after you have done all the 5 things listed. Be real therefore as you do the 5 things so that you don't waste your time on a stubborn man who will never love you back.

Are you making any progress in making him fall in love with you? Use these signs of attraction to help you decide but if you have gotten him to fall in love with you but now need relationship help to ensure you have happily-ever-after then use these relationship insights.

How Do I Get Over My Ex Girlfriend? 3 Strategies to Get Over Her Quickly!

I run a popular site on how to get over a break up and there's one question that consistently falls into my mailbox from my readers: how do I get over my ex girlfriend?

Unfortunately, this is a question that most men have thought about at least once in their life. Fortunately, if this represents you, there are some answers I'd like to share with you. Before we get to that, here is a question from one of my readers:

You gotta help me out. My girl just dumped me for another guy. I'm in shock. I thought we would be together forever. I even made plans for our wedding and thought about how I was going to propose to her. Now, the bombshell drops. I don't know what to do since I never saw this coming. What's your advice? (James from Miami, Florida)

My Answer:

Your question is one that has been faced by many others, including me. We fall for a girl who just isn't as into us. What's unfortunate is that we are so brainwashed into thinking that men know all of the answers to these questions to the point where it is almost embarrassing to ask. As men, this messes with our minds when we have moments where we have a hard time dealing with emotions, especially when girls are involved. Asking your buddies "how do I get over my ex girlfriend" is sometimes hard for a man for a few reasons:

Guys aren't overly sensitive to other guys and don't provide other men with the close-nit support that girls receive from their friends post-breakup.Guys are supposed to make things work. Including relationships. Any failure is an "x" mark on his personality.Guys generally deal with their emotions internally verses externally. This can lead to built up frustration and anger that isn't noticeable to the outside world.

And since you were courageous enough to reach out for advice, I'm going to help you and the rest of my readers with this question by sharing three key tips to get you rolling in the right direction again.

Tip #1: Think Realistically

The downside of being in love is that you begin to think irrationally. You start to believe in destiny, soulmates, and more. While this is great to think about while in a relationship, it isn't a realistic mindset once you end the relationship. The truth is, if the girl breaks up with you, there will always be someone in this world who was and is a better fit for you. Instead of idealizing your ex girlfriend, start to think about the negatives in your ex as well as what improvements you would like to see in your next girlfriend. Was your ex not supportive of you? Was your ex controlling? Look to find someone who doesn't exhibit these characteristics.

Tip #2: Start Dating!

This may seem like a hard recommendation to some, but it might be the most vital of these three recommendations. If you are single, you will need to fill this void in some way. Dating others is a great way to start. Go out to social events (parties, bars, sports events, etc.) and talk to girls. If this isn't your style, try online dating. However you do it, set up dates. It doesn't have to be anything serious, but you need to be in the presence of other girls to help you forget about your ex girlfriend.

Tip #3: Enjoy Being Single

Think of your single time as an advantage rather than a disadvantage. Now is the time for you to focus on yourself and do things that you've always wanted to do. Focus on travel, school, exercise, activities and simply spending quality time with those you enjoy being with. If you are able to enjoy your life by yourself, it won't be long before girls begin to notice and become attracted to you.

Getting over your ex girlfriend will be rough. This will especially be rough if you were thinking about marriage. However, follow the three steps above to begin your process of moving on from the girl who broke your heart.

Endocrinology of Love: Why Do We Fall in Love?

Love is nature's design of keeping the human species alive and reproducing. Research have proven that hormones govern the transformation of couples from being lovestruck to being in love forever.

A woman's smile may just be a simple smile. But deep inside, a cocktail of hormones is conniving to start the lovely process of reproduction. A woman's smile is a sign of hormones at work.

According to research, when a woman sees a man, or even just an image of a man, her smile muscle becomes more active. The hormone progesterone is responsible for this effect. This is nature's way of increasing the chances of intimacy. Furthermore, the same hormone starts to prepare the womb for a possible pregnancy.

Helen Fisher of Rutgers University, US has proposed that there are three stages of love - lust, attraction and attachment, with each stage driven by different hormones.

LUST: Attraction on the spot

This is the first stage of love and is driven by the sex hormones testosterone and estrogen. These hormones governs physical attraction on the spot. Thus, explaining the famous line "Love at first sight."

ATTRACTION: Reason behind courtship

The second stage of love is attraction. This is the time when couples are truly love-struck and can think of little else. Research propose that the neurotransmitters - adrenaline, cortisol, dopamine, and serotonin - are involved in this stage.

Adrenalin and cortisol activate stress response. This creates the charming effect that when couples unexpectedly bump into each other, they start to sweat, their hearts beat faster and their mouths go dry.

Meanwhile, dopamine stimulates "desire and reward" by triggering an intense rush of pleasure. With dopamine, couples often show increased energy, less need for sleep or food, focused attention and exquisite delight in smallest details of the new relationship.

Serotonin, being the most widespread neurotransmitters in the body, is perceived as one of the most important love chemicals. It explains why thoughts of each other keeps popping into their minds. It makes couples want to stay together to enter the next stage of love, which is attachment.

ATTACHMENT: The long-term, sexually-engaged bond

In this stage, oxytocin and vasopressin play the major part. Oxytocin, or the cuddle hormone, is a powerful hormone released by couples during sex - orgasm to be exact. The hormone increases the feelings of attachment and makes couples feel much closer to one another. Thus, the more sex they have, the greater the bond they create. Vasopressin is perceived to be the monogamy chemical. This hormone is responsible for the couples intentions in life-long exclusive mating. This is the hormone that promotes devotion to each other.

We may believe that we are choosing our destiny. But the truth is that we are victims of nature's lovely plan.

How a Narrow Definition of LOVE Will Lead To An Experience of Less LOVE

Believe it or not the more narrow your definition of LOVE is the less often you will experience LOVE in your life.

Far too often, for far too many people, LOVE has fallen into a state of desire of wanting more and more, and bigger and better experiences of LOVE.

In other words, sometimes we all can get stuck in the trap of comparing LOVE to the other experiences of LOVE in our life and once you choose to decide that any experience, person, or situation that fails to provide as "big as" or "great as" an experience of LOVE that you are comparing it to then you have suddenly cut yourself off from so much LOVE in your life.

Especially when you realize that LOVE is happening all around you and there is nothing you can do about it.

Can you imagine what would happen if you suddenly decided that the only LOVE you needed was a romantic partner that would take you out to dinner and movies, cuddle with you, and provide for you, and introduce you to new and fun activities?

If you can't imagine what that would be like let me tell you.

You more than likely would find yourself in one of two states.

You go out to dinner and movies, but find yourself experiencing a sense of sadness and loss every time you see two people together experiencing what you perceive to be the only LOVE you need.You simply would stop going out because the pain of seeing others together would be too much for you.

Even worse, is that you would be unwittingly setting yourself up for future pain and resentment of whoever (if ever) you find to "LOVE" you because you would find yourself in a perpetual state of needing LOVE to be a certain way.

In other words, you would be playing a never-ending game of give and take rather than ever really truly experiencing a state of BEING LOVE.

Of course, that's not to say that the LOVE that you want and desire is wrong, its more along the lines of learn how to LOVE and Appreciate what you do have in life right now that way when the LOVE that you would like to have comes along you won't be so desperate to get it that you can never fully learn to appreciate it and/or LOVE it because you were in the Habit of wanting rather than Loving.
