ARTArticleRebuilding Your Relationship To Rekindle The PassionThere comes a point in almost any successful relationship where things calm down and cool off. There is no longer a major spark between the partners. They get comfortable in their relationship and develop a routine. They no longer find as much time to spend together. Often, this is not due to a lack of desire between the couple. Most often it is the fact that life gets in the way. They may have children or careers to deal with. They are busy and just do not have the free time that they had when their relationship was in the beginning stages.ARTArticleRelationship Breakups - How To Stay FriendsRelationship breakups don't always mean that the person you're breaking up with needs to be cut completely out of your life. Many people continue to have warm and satisfying friendships with their exes by making sure that their relationship breakups are done without hurting anyone more than necessary. There are situations where you know that you don't really want that person to continue to be in your life. Maybe things that happened during the relationship are just too painful. You feel like you can't forgive him or her for what they did.ARTArticleResilience Tips for Your Family Building JourneyA process requiring resilience comes in two phases. First there is the crisis, a time when the loss or distress is often too unbearable for you to see opportunities that may be available. Once the distress fades away, you may start to see potential in a new situation and to gain a new perspective. And that is when you can start the active work of getting re-focused on what is really important to you and what some of your next steps could be. At the IAC Center, those steps are usually related to family building and/or personal and family member growth.ARTArticleRevealed! The Secret Language of WomenThe differences between men and women and lack of quality, in depth information about the opposite sex is the root of much frustration and heartbreak. It's my passion and biggest mission in life to get you in great shape and start having great relationships. It isn't very hard to accomplish this once you know some basics. Today, we're focusing on Communication.ARTArticleReview of ‘Cowboys in Paradise’This article first appeared on Good Vibrations Magazine. If you have been following my blog here, you may recall a previous post where I mentioned looking forward to watching an 83-minute feature film/documentary called Cowboys in Paradise.ARTArticleReview of ‘When Hainan Meets Teochew’This piece first appeared on the Good Vibrations Magazine. The trailer of the new Singaporean film ‘When Hainan Meets Teochew’ was enough to persuade me that I had to watch it. The movie was premised as a romantic comedy between a ‘manly’ woman, and a ‘womanly’ man, as opposed to the usual Hollywood cliché where a handsome man meets a pretty lady and they fall in love after some complications are overcome.ARTArticleRevised – Sexual TermsI was browsing through the October issue of an expat magazine recently when I chanced upon an article entitled, “Well-being and Sex”. Intrigued, I read the piece, only to come upon the sexual terms: ‘sexual transmitted diseases’, ‘impotence’ and ‘frigidity’. The author is obviously not a sexologist because these terms are passé.ARTArticleSay goodbye to SingledomGetting married with all the planning is typically a stressful time for both the bride to be and groom. However, you need a chance to say your goodbyes to the single life, which traditionally happens with the hen and bucks party. Typically, the best man plans the buck's party and the chief bridesmaid is responsible for planning the hen's party. Every couple is different and some want to plan their whole party or at least have a hand in it, while other couples prefer that they be surprised.ARTArticleSeduction: From the Avenue to the AltarHas seduction become a lost art? In a society of strong women with powerful careers and tight schedules it may have lost it's place of importance. Being aggressive is not necessarily considered sexy by the man on the other end of the couch. Alluring him with hints of desire can whet his appetite to crave your company and captivate his heart.ARTArticleSetting Sex Goals For 2011We set resolutions, goals and targets for all manner of things, from our career and our finances to our love life; so why not for our sexual lives? Your face might be wearing a bemused expression after seeing the above title. But, let’s pause and think about it. We set resolutions, goals and targets for all manner of things, from our career and our finances to our love life; so why not for our sexual lives? Still sounds strange? Setting sex goals within your relationship can have a very positive impact. Here’s how and why:ARTArticleSex – Learning to Ride a BicycleWhy is sex like learning to ride a bicycle? Well, do you know how to ride a bicycle? Not the four-wheeled type. The two-wheel ones (one front, one back) upon which the rider needs to be balanced. If yes, how long did it take you to learn to ride one? While you were learning how to ride the bicycle, did you fall? Did you feel like giving up? Was there anybody who helped, supported or encouraged you?ARTArticleSex Is Not The Same As Sitting For The ’10-year Series’I tell my clients that sex is not the same as sitting for the ‘10-year series‘. For those who don’t know, the 10-year series is a colloquial term unique to Singapore where students refer to official compilation books of examination papers for the past years for the GCE N-levels, O-levels and A-levels, approved by the Ministry of Education and the University of Cambridge Local Examination Syndicate, respectively.ARTArticleShould I Tell Him My Sex History?How much you reveal to your partner has a lot to do with what kind of a relationship you want. If you want an honest and open relationship, then it is important you are as honest and open as you possibly can. Your past is a part of where you have been, and may not be representative of who you are as a person now. If he has difficulties differentiating that, then it might be very telling of his emotional maturity and you might not want to pursue a relationship with such a person anyway.ARTArticleShould You Get Divorced or Stay Married?“She’s pregnant by her lover. But she says she has come to her senses, loves me, and wants to save our marriage. My family practically hates her and wants me to divorce her and have nothing else to do with her ever. I don’t know what to do.” Call him Jim. Call her May. Every year situations such as theirs are repeated more times that one might imagine. One person does wrong, consequences arise, penitence hits, and the straying spouse begs for forgiveness and reconciliation.ARTArticleShould You Stay Married For Your Kids?It isn’t unusual to overhear conversations like this. One lady told another that she should NOT stay in her marriage for the sake of her children. She offered the usual: make yourself happy; why should you be punished to stay with that guy just because he fathered your children; over time the kids will be better off. She added more but these generally covered the subject. In those conversations, certain facts seem never to appear. Consider the indications of scientific research. Divorce can affect children for many years, well into adulthood.ARTArticleSkinny Ties are back in Style!If you remember neckties from the 1970's into the 1980's, you probably remember skinny ties, and you either loved them or hated them, but regardless, they are back in style. It seems men's ties go from skinny to medium and finally to a supper wide tie, and then come back around to start the trend all over again. Currently, skinny ties have come back in fashion, and are now more popular than ever. How long will it last? That's anyone's guess, but if you still have some skinny ties from the 1980's, you might be in luck and not have to buy any new ones!ARTArticleSlow Down, Cowboy!How can one overcome premature ejaculation? When is faster not necessarily better? That’s right – when we are talking about premature ejaculation or ‘PE’. PE is also known as ‘early ejaculation’ or ‘eager ejaculation’. This occurs when a man ejaculates quicker or earlier than desired. It is actually a very common sexual concern. Can you learn to last longer without resorting to medication? Here are some tips: 1) Do your Kegels ARTArticleSmile – You’re A WomanA smile is a wonderful thing. Yet it appears that a smile can have more connotations than what is usually appreciated (on the surface) in our society. At the age of eleven, I was taught this poem when I joined the Brownies (a school uniform group similar to the Girl Scouts): “A smile is a quite funny thing, as it wrinkles up your face; And if it’s gone, you cannot find its secret hiding place. But far more wonderful it is, to see what smiles can do: you smile at one, he smiles at you; and so one smile makes two!”ARTArticleSocratic LivingSocratic Living embraces the method of self-inquiry introduced by Socrates, the wisest man in Ancient Greece. Socrates approached life with curiosity and wonder. He accepted himself and questioned everything around him. Rather than assuming he knew anything, he approached everything and everyone with an openness that invites wisdom and understanding.ARTArticleSolving Problems Within Your RelationshipIn this day and age, maintaining a happy and healthy relationship can often prove to be quite difficult. A key ingredient to a happy and successful relationship is when both parties respect one another inside their relationship. This respect for one another is what ultimately keeps the relationship from going adrift. Respect in a relationship, more so tha TRUST; is a key element to longevity of that relationship. It’s quite apparent that many relationships have their ups and downs.ARTArticleSons, Fathers & Divorce: Successful Joint Custody Strategies“My son wants to live with his Dad; what do I do?” Suddenly the joint custody arrangement you shared with your ex-husband no longer meets your child’s needs – at least in his mind – and he has made the decision that he’d like to live with his father full time. While to your son this may seem a logical request, to you, it signals the end of a relationship and the closeness you once shared – and you may even be taken aback at the emotions you’rernfeeling and unsure where to turn. The reality is that we all change as we grow and develop, but while you may have noticed certainr ARTArticleSpice Up Your Sex LifeWhat factors should a couple take into consideration when wanting to spice up their sex life? Consider if your partner is a visual, auditory or kinaesthetic (touch) person. Does irritating sounds bother him to no end? Is he particular about textiles, fabrics and the way they feel next to his skin? Most guys tend to be visual followed by auditory. If you have a visual guy, you know he would be able to watch you. So have dim lights on, or candles as they make you look even more alluring. Better yet, have sex infront of a mirror so he can admire the reflection of you (and himself!).ARTArticleSpring CleaningWhen you hear the word “Spring” what images come to your mind? Budding trees? Birds singing? Beautiful flowers? Sunshine and rain? Many things probably come to mind but there is one unmistakable image that is associated with Spring – new life. Many people engage in “spring cleaning” during this season, in essence bringing “new life” to their homes. I am wondering how many of us need to do some of our own “spring cleaning” of our inner lives? Some people tend to “stuff” their feelings, never dealing with old wounds, instead stockpiling years’ worth of feelings.ARTArticleStaying Safe on Hot DaysOverheating is dangerous, even deadly, and by the time an overheated person experiences symptoms he may be in trouble. Kids are at special risk because they can get so caught up in playing they don’t take time to drink, seek shade, or slow down when the temperature climbs. To keep yourself and your family safe, follow these precautions: 1. For active kids, make a game of staying hydrated by setting a kitchen timer for every 20 minutes and teaching the kids, “When the timer DINGS, DROP everything and DRINK.”ARTArticleTaking the Bite out of SummerSummer time is fun time, but it’s also prime time for injuries and accidents. In this issue of Connections, we take a look at preventing and coping with animal bites. In July, we’ll learn about heat stress and other summer hazards. Dog Bites 4.5 millio Americans are bitten by dogs each year, and one in five dog bites results inrninjuries that require medical attention. Children age 5-9 are the most common victims. To prevent dog bites, teach children to follow these basic safety tips, and review them regularly: • Do not approach an unfamiliar dog • Do not run from a dog or screamr ARTArticleTalking to Young Adopted Kids About the RecessionWith all the recent news about the recession, even young kids are likely to hear some scary things from the TV, from older siblings, or overhear conversations betwee Mom and Dad. This can be unsettling and upsetting for kids.ARTArticleTarot card reading- it's back in.the return of spiritual connection- online? free tarot card reading the return of spiritual connection- online? The tarot was originally a playing card deck (used for card games such as Italian tarocchini) that incidentally began to be used for divination. It is believed that is was first used for this purpose in Northern Italy over 500 years ago. European cults and mystics bought it out into the public around the time of the European Renaissance.ARTArticleTarot Readings can be done onlineThere seems to be alot of debate over the possibilty of doing tarot card reading over the internet and even the authenticity of a tarot reading being possible or accurate. I feel invoked to shed some light on this debate from someone who has used and seen tarot work magic over the last twenty years. Tarot, magic and metaphysics have been around for yonks. They have been a significant part of ancient lifetyles, cultures and communities; bringing lucid insight, useful information and have impacted social, industrial and ecological progress, in periods long forgotten.ARTArticleThe Difference Between Couture & Ready-to-Wear Wedding DressesChoosing that perfect dress is what most girls dream of from a very young age. It is exciting to be a princess for a day and try on dress after dress until you find the dress that makes you feel amazing. With so many dresses to choose from, it is important for brides to decide between couture dresses and ready-to-wear wedding dresses. Here are some things to keep in mind as you make this important decision.ARTArticleThe Elephant in the Bedroom: Talking About SexFor most people, sex is a sensitive and difficult subject to talk about. I have come across a man who, after 15 years of marriage, admitted that he and his wife have never talked about sex. Don’t get me wrong. They do have sex. They just don’t talk about it.
