Greg S. Baker has been counseling relationships for over a decade. His success in this field has largely come through his understanding of communication and expression. People communicate all the time, but either it is misunderstood or it is not listened to. Pastor Baker has developed techniques and methods in this area to assist in the struggles that many people have in this area of communication.
To this end, he has written a book on the subject to help promote and strengthen communication and expression in relationships. The book, 'Fitly Spoken', is an intense study on human communication and social skills. Subjects range from dealing with and handling arguments to communication between the sexes. It is available in both printed and electronic versions.

What Is a Real Friend?
For most people having friends is having someone who likes them. And it is true, that a friend will certainly like you, but being popular-which is the goal of most people seeking friendship-is not the same as having a real friend. If your goal is to be popular, be with the in crowd, be well known or well liked, most of your relationships will be shallow. They will come and go like a butterfly, flitting here and there without any real purpose or substance. The need to be liked is very powerful. But it is often a shallow victory to be considered with the 'in crowd'.

Fixing a Broken Friendship
Friendship isn't a unique relationship in addition to all the other ones. In fact, friendship is more than that. When any of your relationships can become friends, then it has reached the pinnacle of that relationship. I don't have a wife, children, parents, and then friends. No, each of these other relationships has become friends too. I want to be a friend to my children, to my parents, and certainly to my wife. I married my best friend. She is my wife, but she is also my friend. But how do you repair a damaged or broken friendship?

Communicating With Your Children
When communicating with children it is important to keep your goals in mind. The younger the child, the more difficult it is to reason with a child. A very young child won't be able to give you the reasoning for his actions. "Why did you hit your brother?" you demand. "Because I hit him?" your child may reply. As your child grows older, his reason and reasoning skills begin to develop. You can converse with a twelve year old in a manner impossible five years previous. So what are goals in parenting? 1.

How to Express Yourself to Others
One of the hardest things to do when you're communicating with someone is expressing yourself. How many times have you said something that just didn't come out the way you wanted it to? How many times have we said something that we really didn't mean, but we were too frustrated to stop it from being said? What's more, some people have a fear of expressing themselves at all. They're afraid to say something that might cost them a friendship. Or they bottle everything up tight and seize up at the mere thought of sharing their true emotions. This can be a constant struggle for people.

How To Become More Intelligent
It may not be that intelligence is a measurable quality. We establish IQ scores, true, but these scores are not set in stone. Our brain is like any other muscle, if it is exercised, it grows stronger and more agile. Therefore, it may not even be accurate to assume that one person is necessarily smarter than another. With proper mental exercise and training, you could surpass someone supposedly smarter than you. Chess, for example, has been established to raise a person’s IQ level. The exercise of the brain in such intensity is bound to create a more intelligent person.

The Relationship Between Fear And Anger
Our greatest fears are the result of what we do not understand. Our minds have the capacity to create the worst scenario possible for a given situation. This creates fear. Fear, more often than not, creates anger. Fear of the unknown is akin to the fear of loss. When we don’t understand something we fear that it will in some way rob us of things we hold important. For example, suppose that a strange man calls up wanting to talk to your wife and he refuses to explain why or identify himself. This unknown typically generates fear in your mind.

Dealing With Other People's Anger
There is a very revealing verse in the Bible that helps define the psychology of an angry person. Proverbs 22:24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: The warning is very poignant. Angry people are exceptionally difficult to deal with. But for many of you reading this article, you don't have the luxury of avoiding an angry person. Perhaps you are already friends with an angry person. Perhaps you're married to a person who has a short temper. Maybe one of your children has a short fuse. Dealing with an angry person is problematic at best.

How To Bury A Bad Past
The greatest problem with a bad past is not that you made mistakes or did things wrong. It is that you can't go back and undo it. That is the most frustrating part about guilt and regrets. We are hands on people. We want to fix mistakes and right wrongs. But once the moment has slipped into the past, what's done is done. We can't go back and undo or even redo it. That is the problem. So the key to letting your past go is dependent on some sort of action that we can take.

The Difference Between Jealousy, Covetousness, and Envy in Relationships
Many relationships have been destroyed over the jealousy issue. However, sometimes it isn't so much jealousy but envy and covetousness that is the real root of the problem. Here is a brief definition of each before we get into a lager discussion of these. Jealousy - The fear of losing something that you feel already belongs to you. Covetousness - The desire of that which is not yours and currently unattainable as it belongs to someone else or lies outside your ability to get.

Depression - A Societal Evolution
Depression is increasingly on the rise in our society. Its diagnosis has exploded over the last twenty years, and as a result, the medical field has responded with pill after pill.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Greg Baker
"Life is relationships. It's not your house, your car, your bank account, or even your esperiences. Life is the relationships you have and someone to share what you have and the experiences that go with them."
"Faith is an essential element to human development. It provides purpose and direction beyond our scope and natural boundaries. It allows us to live larger than life where life is worth living for. Jesus Christ is the author of my faith."
"Communication is the bedrock of all relationships. Over 95% of relationship issues are due to a misunderstanding in communication."
"We are defined more by what we say than by what we do. People always use our actions to verify and substantiate our words, never the other way around. People judge us by the words we say."
"Words convey three things. First, they convey meaning. Secondly, they convey intent. Thirdly, they convey an idea. The power of a single word can have ramifications for generations."
"Truly, life and death are in the power of the tongue."
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotte Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." – John 3:16
