Do You Make or Break Your Romantic Relationships?
"Man's greatest motivating force is his desire to please woman" so writes Napoleon Hill in his iconic book, THINK & GROW RICH. According to Hill, men who accumulate large fortunes, gain power and fame do so to satisfy their desire to please women. If this is so, you have to consider: If a guy's great desire is to please you, you have the power to make or break him. Are you making or breaking him in your romantic relationship? It may (or may not) surprise you that men, despite all their toughness on the outside, are very sensitive inside. Men don't want to loose.

Do You Stay or Do You Go?
You've been seeing a man for quite some time. In the beginning, everything was great. You got along well. You thought you were headed for marriage. But now things are different. Life has happened.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Cherry Norris
Commit to the Relationship, Not the Person. Do your part and hope (to God) your partner does theirs.
Never Trust Anyone. People are human and they will say one thing, then turn around and do something else. Instead, take a risk on a person and build a trustworthy relationship.
If he/she is 51%...Keep them. If your partner is more "good" tha "bad", you've got a good deal.
Conflict builds Intimacy. NEVER argue with ANYONE you don't want to build with!
Give your partner the Right to be Wrong. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Acknowledge it, respect it, and negotiate for an agreement between you.
