Happiness should be a part of relationship. Yet, this may not always be the case. There will be times you feel down you may fight with your girlfriend or your boyfriend. Even married couples discover that their partners are not the best of the species on this planet. That however, should not discourage you from being engaged in a relationship with someone. There will be times that your love for each other will be tested. In worst cases, you might even experience a breakup.
Even before the outset of a breakup, you should try to look for the three signs of a healthy relationship. These signs will let you know if your relationship is still fine.
The first sign of a healthy relationship is that you are passionate for each other. This means that you are still in love with each other as deeply as when you first met. Being passionate with each other also means that you are enjoying each other’s company. This does not necessarily mean that hardly a day passes by without you seeing each other. There may be times that you will be far from each other. True passion, however, is measured by your faithfulness, loyalty and commitment.
Secondly, fighting does not necessarily mean bad if it can settle issues instead of making your partner feeling worse. However some couples may boast that they never fight. You should raise your eyebrows with such pronouncement and ask such couples if they truly know each other and if they are talking with each other. Chances are their answer would be a resounding no.
Don’t worry much if you have differences like most couples. This means that you are transparent and honest with each other. You disclose enough of yourself to generate friction and conflict. If you ever decide to get married, you will need your skills at smoothing out your conflicts and your fights for as long as you stay married.
Lastly, there is no “perfect” relationship. Your relationship is healthy if you know how to sort out your differences and settle your conflicts. But if all you ever do is fight, then something is terribly wrong and breakup is imminent like rain about to fall from an overcast sky.
With these three signs of a healthy relationship, you can gauge your relationship and learn how to prevent breakups and show sincerity between each other.

Adult dating sites are always contentious. Some people refuse to use them, some people use them exclusively. They cause debate on morality and a range of other issues. As you’d be aware of by now though, at Dating Down Under, we aren’t really interested in these types of opinions. We are open minded enough to know that people like these sites, so they obviously provide a valuable service somewher. So we’d rather take the position of advising you of some of the pros, cons, dangers and rewards this category of dating site exposes you to, so you can be better prepared if you decide adult dating is for you.
As such, we have put together a page on our website to review adult dating sites. We only put up sites on this page, which we have vetted and believe offer a high value service. There are many sites out there which we have reviewed and found lacking. These substandard sites are fraught with dangers, some of which we list below, putting you and your finances at risk. You can visit and read our reviews of our “safer” adult dating sites at the following link: Adult Dating Sites
Dangers Of Adult Dating Sites
There are many dangers with adult dating sites. The dangers these sites pose to men tend to be different to women, so we have split these up and summarised them below:
Adult Dating Sites – Dangers To Women Typically the dangers a woman faces from these sites are dangers to her “person”. These sites tend primarily to emphasise open sexuality in dating, and therefore there is an expectation that a date will quickly escalate into a sexual encounter. Obviously problems can quickly arise where the expectations of a date differ between the participants.
So the best advice we can give to women is to not put yourself in a position of physical vulnerability, until you are completely sure that is where you want to be with a person. Make sure your first date is in a public place, if for no other reason than to ensure the person matches the photo and the other details on the dating site.
And only escalate when you feel safe and comfortable with your partner.
This is pretty sound advice to anyone who is dating. But due to the sexual expectations surrounding adult dating sites, it is especially important here.
Adult Dating Sites – Dangers To Men The biggest threats to men on these sites, are not dangers to their person, rather dangers to their wallet. Adult dating sites are packed with scammers, and unfortunately, most (but not all) of them are pretty women. Exactly the type of women you expected to meet on the site.
Some Adult Dating scams: 1900 phone number scams. You can be contacted by someone who wants you to call them on a 1900 number. These phone calls cost you a packet, the scammer actually profits from the phone call. They will never meet you, all they want is for you to call so they make some money.
Scammers who want you to come to their site/see their pics/see their webcam. Its the same deal. These girls want your money, not to meet you. Their websites will always be pay per view or pay to signup, so you pay, and they get paid.
Scammers who are looking for a way out of their country. Yes, these scammers can be pretty persuasive, but if you are looking for an international introduction, an adult dating site is not the right place to be. Go to a profession internation introductions site, where the professionals who run it will protect you to some degree from being scammed.
The best advice men can take on board when facing these dangers is simply to remember why you came to the site. You came to meet like minded people to form a hot and steamy relationship with. You didn’t join these sites to give your hard earned cash up to people you’ll never meet.
The Rewards of Adult Dating Sites:
The rewards of adult dating sites are pretty much the same for men and women. Its simple really. The people who join these sites are very open and honest about what they are looking for both sexually and romantically. It can sometimes be very “in your face”. But this means that when you find someone you like, you know what they want, they know what you want, so the chances are really high that you’ll get exactly what you are looking for. (which is probably something I can’t write about here)
So be careful what you wish for,

At least not the way it is being taught by the thousands of people on “The Secret” bandwagon. To me a law is measurable, repeatable and predictable.
Let me explain. If I think about having a million dollars in the bank, will it happen just by my focusing on it? I do not think so.
If I dream about a date with Pamela Anderson, I can make it happen. Not likely. Even with the examples above, does the Law of Attraction make sense?
Sure.
Sometimes.
It can help you get clear. It can help you focus. It starts the process of moving towards what you want and moving you away from what you do not want.
So why does it not work for everyone, all the time.
Good question. If I knew I would be teaching that and making millions.
But let me tell you what I know about the Law of Attraction from my personal experience. Many people spend all day thing about what they want. This is good. But they do not think through what it takes to reach their wants; it never makes it to a goal. They never take action.
Let assume the goal is to make a million dollars. You need to ask yourself “How can I make a million dollars?”
You need to understand what you can provide to others that would inspire them to buy from you. “How much do I need to sell and at what price?”
I think it was Zig Ziglar who said “find out what people want and give it to them.”
So what do people want that you can provide?
How do you know they will buy from me? How do you know it has value? What is that value?
You need to do my research and determine what people want. You need to determine what you can provide. You need to determine what you am going to give up too achieve your goal.
If you are not getting the desired results, what are you going to give up so you can replace this nonproductive behavior with a more productive behavior? Einstein was correct when he said “insanity is doing the same things over again and expecting different results.” What insane behavior are you keeping? What do you need to change to achieve you goal.
What steps are you doing to take? Will you give up two hours of television a day and use this time to do research, learn a new skill or create plan?
What education do you need? What people do you need to meet? What skills do you need to develop?
Does the Law of Attraction work?
Yes, I think it does provided…
You clearly define the outcome you want. You set a date on when it will happen. You understand the value you provide to achieve you desired outcome. You take action.
You are emotionally invested in the outcome.
I once hear the term used called “inspired action.” I think it was James Ray who first introduced me into that term.
I think inspired action is critical to any kind of meaningful achievement, especially if you are using the Law of Attraction.
If you are not inspired (emotionally invested in the outcome) you will not take action.
If you decide to take action, you will not stick to you course of action when thing get difficult unless you are inspired.
You will not learn the skills necessary or surround yourself with the right people without inspired action. You will not get out of your comfort zone to take action unless you are inspired.
So how do you answer all these questions? It is easy to discuss them in an article but how do you answer them.
I can only tell you what worked for me. I do not know if this will work for you but I found the answer in a question. Not just any question, but in a very powerful way the question is asked.
If we ask the question “How can I,” the mind has a tendency to focus on one specific outcome. It tries to answer the question how. If we ask this question: “how the chicken can cross the road?” the mind will stop when we answer it. The chicken can cross the road by walking across.
If we change the question to “in what ways can the chicken cross the road?” we are now open to different possibilities. The chicken can cross the road by walking, flying, running, hitching a ride, etc. This type of question allows the mind to be open for possibility. You start to see things in an entirely different light.
Ask yourself this question and have a pencil and paper ready to record the different answers. This question is most effective in a group. I have seen some powerful answers to some difficult questions materialize.
I have successfully (occasionally) used the Law of Attraction. When I analyze why it worked for me, I determined two very important things. The first is the way I asked the question. It is not how, but in what ways. The second aspect that is critical for me is a strong emotion attachment to a specific outcome. Let me give you an example.
Several years ago I lost my job. Shortly after I lost my job my wife was in a traffic accident. Her 10 year old van was destroyed. She was not hurt. Since I was not working I was really worried about spending money on another vehicle even though I knew we needed two vehicles. I did have insurance but the pay-out was too low to replace the car. I was looking at a significant cash outlay to replace this vehicle.
I knew I needed to do something but I was so afraid to act. So afraid I got myself tied up in a knot. After a week of no sleep and lots of anxiety, I decide I needed to do something. I had a few requirements: it has to be newer so I was not being nickled and dimed on repairs and it had to be safe (since my wife would drive it.)
Finally I started looking for a good used car. I went to a car dealer and looked at used cars. I settled on a Ford Taurus. The price was $8500. I thought I was ready to buy. At the last minute I chickened out and left the dealership without making a purchase. On my drive home I knew I needed to trust myself and since I believed in the universal Law of Attraction, I needed to trust that as well. I actually told myself if I really believed this I needed to buy this car and trust everything would work itself out. After all, if I took out a long enough note my payment would be fairly low.
About an hour later, I called the sales representative and told him I would be up to sign the papers. Before I went back to the card dealership, I met some people for lunch. It was then I received the surprise of my life. One person at the table gave me a car. Yes, they gave it to me. It was even a Ford Taurus. Her husband had recently died and she wanted a car that was not so big.
I do not suggest you take this course of action.
Why?
Because I have not been able to implement the Law of attraction in a measurable, predictable and repeatable fashion.
I think the reason that car manifested was because I had a very strong emotion about addressing this problem, I took action, I did my research and I was very clear on the outcome I wanted. I took action.
I want to spend a minute on why you should not do this.
I spent days worrying about where I was going to get the money. I did not sleep for a week prior to making my decision. I asked myself “in what ways could I” before I settled on the course of action I took. I got my wife involved in the decision and told her my thought process. I did want her to think I had a stack of money somewhere. We were in this together and if she did not agree I was not going to do it.
Needless to say it worked out for me in that situation. I must say there are other situations where it did not work out. It is not fool proof: at least not for me, not yet anyway.
To me a law is measurable, repeatable, and predictable. I think there is some merit in what is known as the Law of Attraction but because it is something I have not been a implement in a measurable, repeatable and predictable way I do not think I would call it a law.
There are some great ideas and some great teacher doing some great things but go into this with your eyes wide open. If you embrace this The Law of Attraction, go into it with your eyes wide open. Even if it does not work for you, it will help you create clarity of purpose, inspired action and a well thought out plan.
There are no shortcuts.

Lots of lies out there about gay marriage, especially as it concerns religious freedom. Arm yourself with the facts so you can take down the paranoid people who think freedom means we all have to live like they want us to.

We live in a very difficult world. We are surrounded by criticism and nonsupport and so we are always on the defensive. It seems most of the time we are faced with challenges; prosperity and happiness do not come naturally to most people, they have to be fought for. Yet when people enter into a relationship with the intention of settling down with someone permanently, there is an expectation the relationship will provide a respite from the world and its difficulties. Virtually everyone has an underlying expectation the relationship they get into will be a safe haven. Is this a reasonable expectation? I think so. Actually, I know so.
Others don’t think so, and it is reflected in the processes relationship counselors typically invoke on those who come to them for help. When people are having difficulty in their relationship they sometimes go for marriage or relationship counseling. In their first meeting with a new counselor the couple is asked to explain what brought them there so the counselor can get a handle on their situation. Although it is possible, I have never heard of a case where a couple goes in to see a counselor and the counselor asks them what is good in their relationship. I would guess that approach is pretty rare. After all, we live in a world that focuses on the negative. Most people focus on the removal of obstacles that block the path of the achievement they seek. Counselors typically ask what’s wrong. People who have gone in for help because they are not getting along are now asked to complain about their relationship and their partner. Doesn’t this seem like an odd way to help people get along?
It is a wise and rare relationship counselor who begins the very first meeting by announcing, “The past is over, now is the time to learn the correct behaviors and attitudes required for a healthy and happy relationship.”
Assuming People Know How To Be Married Is A Big Mistake
It’s nobody’s fault when they are not getting along in a relationship or marriage. None of us, or maybe I should say the vast majority of us, had no access to the vital knowledge of what is required to have a good relationship, a good marriage or how to maintain a good family. A lot of people joke about it and many people can give anecdotal tidbits about it, but very few have a manual for marriage. I finally wrote one (Lessons For A Happy Marriage) but it will take time for this essential knowledge to spread. In the meantime the struggles are great and the rescues are few and far between.
Here are 5 tips for those who are thinking about relationship counseling:
Although both of you have flaws, issues and problems, don’t think it is your job to fix or point out those of your mate’s. Appreciate your mate for who they are rather than for what they can do for you. The next time you see them smile, look in their eyes and say, “I love you.”

“Opposites attract” is a law of attraction, at least where electromagnetism is concerned. But are there laws about attraction between two people?
“In a world that is full of strangers” as a line in a famous song of the 1980’s goes, is there a clear set of rules that allows two people to fall for each other?
Is attraction a matter of chemistry?
Maybe. According to scientists, the attraction between animals of the opposite sex is all about chemicals called pheromones. The effect of pheromones in behavior of insects is the most studied to date. It has been observed, at least in some experiments, that pheromones are responsible for communication among same species and colony of ants. The horrible odor released by skunks to ward off enemies is said to be a kind of pheromone. Some species of apes rub pheromone-containing urine on the feet of potential mates to attract them.
Scientists believe that animals (usually the females) such as insects and mammals send out these chemical signals to tell the male of their species that their genes are different from theirs. This gene diversity is important in producing offspring with better chances of survival. The perfume industry has capitalized on pheromones as a means to increase one’s sexual attractiveness to the opposite sex. Animals such as the whale and the musk deer were hunted down for these chemicals.
Lately, scientists are looking into the existence of human pheromones and its role in mate selection. There are many conflicting views in the realm of biology, chemistry, genetics, and psychology. Most scientists would assert that these do not exist, or if they do, do not play a role in sexual attraction between a man and a woman. But new researches such as that conducted by Swiss researchers from the University of Bern led by Klaus Wedekind are slowly making these scientists rethink their stand. Their experiment involved women sniffing the cotton shirts of different men during their ovulation period. It was found out that women prefer the smell of men’s shirts that were genetically different, but also shared similarities with the women’s genes. This, like in the case of insects and other mammals, was to ensure better and healthier characteristics for their future children. But researchers also cautioned that preference for a male odor is affected by:
- The women’s ovulation period
- The food that men eat
- Perfumes and other scented body products
- And lastly the use of contraceptive pills.
Does personality figure in sexual attraction?
Yes, but so does your perception of a potential mate’s personality. According to a research conducted by Klohnen, E.C., & S. Luo in 2003 on interpersonal attraction and personality, a person’s sense of self-security and at least the person’s perception of his/her partner were found to be strong determinants of attraction in hypothetical situations. What does this tell us? We prefer a certain personality type, which attracts you to a person. But aside from the actual personality of the person, which can only be verified through close interaction through time, it is your perception of your potential partner that attracts you to him/her, whether the person of your affection truly has that kind of personality or not. This could probably account for a statement commonly heard from men and women on their failed relationships: “I thought he/she was this kind of person.”
So how does attraction figure in relationships?
You have probably heard that attraction is a prelude, or a factor towards a relationship. Most probably, at least in the beginning; but attraction alone cannot make a relationship work. It is that attraction that makes you notice a person from the opposite sex, but once you get to know the person more, attraction is just one consideration. Shared values, dreams, and passions become more significant in long-term relationships.
So should I stop trying to become attractive?
More than trying to become physically attractive, work on all aspects of your health: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Physical attraction is still a precursor. Remember, biology predisposes us to choose the partner with the healthiest genes. Where your emotions are concerned, just ask this to yourself: would you want to spend time with a person who feels insecure about him/herself?
Probably not! There is wisdom in knowing yourself: who you are, your beliefs, values, and dreams. And do not pretend to be someone you are not. Fooling another person by making him/her think that you share the same values and beliefs is only going to cause you both disappointments. When you are healthy in all aspects, attractiveness becomes a consequence and not an end. As mentioned in the Klohnen and Luo’s research, a person’s sense of self-security matters, perhaps even beyond attraction. But remember: do these things for yourself and not for other people. Only then can you truly harness your attractiveness as a person.
