How to connect deeply with anyone (in 5 minutes) 468k shares Share on Facebook Share on Twitter I’m going to share a game with you. This game will reveal incredible things about whoever plays it; surprise, shock and delight complete strangers, and has kickstarted more friendships than I know how to count. Play along and you’ll see. I want you to imagine a desert, stretching out as far as your eyes can see. In this desert is a cube. Your first task is to describe the cube. There are no right answers here, only your answers. As you look at the desert and your cube, you notice there is also a ladder. Now imagine that in the scene there is a horse. We’re nearly there now. Final question. If you’ve been playing along, this is going to be fun. Ready? The cube is yourself. The size is ostensibly your ego: a large cube means you’re pretty sure of yourself, a small cube less so. The vertical placement of the cube is how grounded you are. The ladder represents your friends. Are your friends leaning on the cube? The flowers represent children. Comments

Love the Grows: Questions You Should Ask Before Marriage In my marriage class in my first semester of college, our teacher gave us a handout (or should I say packet) with these questions. At first I was like "Holy shnikeys! This is way too many questions! I am NOT going to go over all of these with my fiance!" But we did. At first it started with asking the interesting questions, but then we asked them all, wondering if maybe the answer would be different than we expected. From answering these questions we talked about how we plan on raising and disciplining our kids, who will manage the bills, what our parents should and shouldn't know about, what we believe our flaws are. Here's some of the questions I think are really important to have an understanding on in your marriage. I don't necessarily believe the answers to these questions will make or break your marriage, but I do believe that opening up the lines of communication and honestly talking about the important things these questions bring up IS important. What turns you off sexually?
Should You Visit Raja Ampat, Indonesia? Indonesia’s Raja Ampat islands are far, even if you start your journey toward them from within the country. From Jakarta or Bali, for example, you must fly to the central Indonesian city of Makassar (or, in rare cases, Ambon) on the evening of your first day of travel to catch a connecting flight to Sorong, in West Papua province, departing at 3 or 4 o’clock the next morning. You’ll arrive in Sorong at around seven or eight, which gives you a minimum of six hours to kill until your ferry’s scheduled departure time – it will probably be late. An hour – or, more likely, two – later, you’ll be wherever in Raja Ampat you happen to be sleeping. I mention these facts and figures not only to discourage you from visiting Raja Ampat, if you’re thinking of traveling there yourself, but to emphasize the isolation of the islands, whose Indonesian name translates to “Four Kings.” This is good for many reasons.

Stop The Heartbreak Cycle: 7 Dos and Don’ts For Handling a Break-Up “When something bad happens you have three choices. You can let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you.” ~Unknown I’ve learned to be thankful for my first heartbreak. Of course, at the time of the crime I struggled to see anything positive in it. It was literally as if someone stabbed my heart; there was a problem that caused my body to stop working properly. In fact, I still think of him occasionally; it’s so hard to turn off. Like during any trauma your body faces, it tries to repair itself so it can be whole again. I became emotionally promiscuous. Normally my standards are that I date just one person at a time and don’t get intimate with anyone until I’m in a relationship. But now that my heart was hurt, all those rules were thrown out the window. I dated guys just to date someone. I wanted to display the image that I was fine, happy, healthy, and so over the perpetrator. Pretty soon he asked me to be his girlfriend. But I never did. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
15 Honest Questions The Person You Marry Should Be Able To Answer Marriage really is a beautiful thing. I used to think it was a bit pointless, just a piece of paper that allows you an extra tax cut. However, the more I thought about it, the more I learned to appreciate what marriage could be. Marriage gets a bad rap because most people are really bad at it. It’s not marriage’s fault. I used to believe people couldn’t possibly promise to love someone else in 10, 20 years when neither their partners nor they will be the same people they are now. Simone Becchetti Regardless, we still want that promise because it gives us courage to give ourselves to another without reservations. You may not be able to keep that promise, but you can keep the promise to do your best to be an amazing life partner. 1. People seem to feel this is a question that doesn’t especially need answering. Loving someone is a very selfish act, and it’s okay. 2. “Because I love you” is not a good answer. 3. Keeping the romance alive is not an easy task. 4. Jayme Burrows 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
A Weapon of Mass Seduction Hi guys. I started writing this during the fallout after the UCSB shooting and the #yesallwomen hashtag. I had a really rough go of it during that time -- which I'll touch on later -- in that the world in which we live started to feel deeply unsafe. It still does, but the feeling is more like background noise now, and I'm happy to say that since I've moved to LA I'm surrounded by a lot of good people, many of whom I can count on to look out for me in the way that decent human beings sometimes do for one another. Due to the bad mental space I was in at the time, I never quite finished this post, and then quite soon after that I was overwhelmed with the logistical realities of moving to a new city, so this never got put up. xo.AL The theme of "safety" keeps coming up for me lately. I participated. Reading the news, reading the hashtag posts, and sharing my own experiences was deeply triggering for me, to the point where I missed two nights of work because I couldn't stop crying. 1. 2. 3.
A List of 100 Questions to Ask Your Partner on Date Nights Date nights for established couples can feel boring and stale if you talk about the same old topics all the time. Talking about work, the kids, or household repairs should not be the primary focus of nights when you’re trying to reconnect as a couple. So, here is a list of 100 — yes, 100 — questions that you can choose from to ask each other on your next dinner out. Use only two to three questions per date night, and really talk about the answers in depth. What is your favorite memory of dating me? Whew!

Thought some of you who are also "synastrically" inclined (think I just invented a new word) would like it as well. 8th **************************************** Here's a rundown of how feminine Venus and masculine Mars work together as a team to help us get (Mars) what we want (Venus) in matters of love and sex (keep in mind that most people have Venus and Mars in different signs, so mix-and-match "teammates" is highly likely). Disclaimer: There are others astrological indicators of love and sex styles, but this entry is only discussing Venus and Mars. Note: In a woman's chart, her Venus sign represents her love style, while her Mars sign represents the type of man that makes her feel ... lusty.

Personality In the Bedroom All aspects of our close relationships reflect our personalities, but perhaps none so strongly as sexuality. By the time we reach adulthood, each of us has formed a core set of beliefs and assumptions about our close relationships. Many of these beliefs developed very early in our lives, reflecting the mental images we formed as a result of the way others cared for us. Deakin University graduate student Christina Stefanou, working with psychologist Marita McCabe (2012), wanted to explore the question of whether people’s attachment to their parents becomes translated, once they reach adulthood, to their sexual relationships. You don’t need to be a dyed-in-the-wool Freudian to understand how such a process might occur. Traditional psychodynamic theory emphasizes the sometimes maladjusted ways that people project their feelings about their parents onto their current sex partners. A. B. C. We know from other research that people’s sexual fantasies similarly reflect their attachment styles.
