So, it really shouldn't surprise us when we hear that Jennifer Lopez may be married again. The human heart longs to connect!

Let me bring some closure to all this with a question.

If I mention repparttar following names, what comes to your mind?

Pamela Anderson Britney Spears Hugh Hefner Larry Flint

That's right, leading-with-the-body!

What we lead with is what we are valued for. If we lead with repparttar 101534 body, we are valued for repparttar 101535 body. If we lead with repparttar 101536 mind, we are valued for repparttar 101537 mind. If we lead with repparttar 101538 spirit, we are valued for repparttar 101539 spirit.

What do you want to be remembered for?

Are you living for desire or are you living for longing?

Everything I Know About Relationship Success I Learned At The Playground

I was blessed earlier in life to have a couple who had been married over twenty-six years model this for me. Whenever anyone saw them together, they were holding hands and playfully giddy as if they had just started dating. When I asked what caused her to be this much in love with a man after so many years of marriage, she responded, "He fascinates me."

Let that sink in a moment.

Are you an interesting person? Would you consider yourself intriguing? Do you have interests in life that cause other people to want to be around you, or are you often bored?

A few things to note:

* Bored people are boring people.

* Having interests will help make us more fascinating in life.

* In repparttar world of relationship enrichment, "Couch Potatoes Need Not Apply".

Relationship Success Lesson #3 - The Principle of Forgiveness

As I stood and watched, two children were running on repparttar 101533 playground in opposite directions, and I saw it coming before they did. They each circled repparttar 101534 same object until they literally met in repparttar 101535 middle. Two more kids came around and did repparttar 101536 same thing.

Tempers flared, emotions ran high, tears ran down their cheeks and feelings were hurt. Less than two minutes later, they were off running and playing together, and all was forgotten.

What would happen in adult relationships if we learned how to do that? Instead of internalizing everything, we learn not to take it all so personally. Instead of holding grudges, we learn to hold hands.

Children have soft hearts - life can sometimes harden them.

Sheds a little light on repparttar 101537 phrase, "Except you become like little children", doesn't it?
