The Relationship Holiday Test

Ladies, the holiday season is here and it should give you a strong indication of where you stand with a man. Many guys get upset but I have to tell the truth.



Exemption: If you are just friends with benefits, and know it you should NOT expect anything away. If you are expecting…

Wives Submit?

Yes, the Bible is clear about the submission rule and speaks of the role of wives and husbands. However so many couples are confused because of societal changes-but men of faith still demands total adherence. "It's the word of God and we must be obedient and follow the word" as one man I recently…

Plus Size Love

Ok, you have some curves and carrying extra weight. You are affectionately known as a “Plus Size Woman.” Plus size comes in all different colors, shapes and sizes too.

"A Real Man Would..."

I can’t tell you the amount of emails or clients who let a guy go because of unreasonable expectations too soon. They even tell me that “He’s not a real man, because he knows I need my grass mowed and car washed.”



Too many ladies requires a man whom they practically just met,…

The Disrespecting EX Dilemma

I often receive emails from women stating that they felt disrespected in their relationship and seeking my advice. However, usually only a small number meets the criteria of actually being disrespected by the actions of their man. The remaining and majority were based on outside influences: His mom, his ex, his baby…

Don't Hold On

I hope I can say this right, get my thoughts across with total understanding and truth. And the truth is: Ladies, if you're going, go all the way. Leave no attachments to linger.

Traditionally, a man will ask the father of the woman he wants to marry for permission, her hand in marriage. If the father gives his approval he is saying yes to giving his daughter away, releasing her from the family. She is leaving this family to start her own. During the marriage ceremony the woman is…

Can A Woman Change A Man?

The answer is YES!  But Wait…



Let me say it in different languages:  Espera!... Attendez!...



You should never try because it most definitely won’t happen.



As I stated in my new book “Why He Bounced?”; men are about winning and losing.…

The “Lying Ryan Relationship Effect”

We are in the political season and words are all over the place from politicians. I’ve noticed something interesting that happens in relationship frequently and it is front and center in the news now. It is when a person makes a true statement in writing but the message is distorted. In other words, they lied by omission with the attempt to deceive. I’ve coined it the “Lying Ryan relationship effect,” based on Paul Ryan’s, the Republican Vice President Candidate amazing…

The Grimy Hall Of Shame-II

Another true story.

 

Years ago a new female Correction Officer was assigned to the same facility I was already tenured in. She was young and very pretty. Creamy caramel complexion, shoulder length hair, no make up and had real cute freckles. Sometimes female officers are quick to develope reputations as did, let's call her C.O. Freckles. It was not long before C.O. Freckles had joined the ranks of females with progressing histories. Only, her reputation was consistant in that…

IS IT Me?

That’s probably one of the number one question women asked me in the beginning of many coaching sessions. The answer may be surprising because "YES, It is you." Don’t get me wrong, and NO I’m not picking on you. But it is through your personal lens that you give events meaning based on your model of the world. The…

Another Relationship Killer

There is something that’s ruining relationships, keeping many single and breaking up homes.

This matter is based on something that is impossible to do. When I say impossible, let's say that I know people who have rejected or bounced on a person because of this impossibility.  People get…

Are Able-Bodied Family Members Keeping You Single?

“Men just see me as a friend.”

Dr. King's Dream, Feasible or Fantasy???

I used to visit forums on the internet. Like, often. Nearly every one of them had a “soap box” thread where you could talk about anything. The titles ran the gamut, from “atheists or Christians:  who’s crazier” to “what color socks are you wearing?”



One day, after…

Professionals Struggle Too!

I recently had a discussion with a small business woman who left her husband who was a doctor for a warehouse foreman. Think about that. Now tell me if you are thinking this about the warehouse forman: “He must be packing, a hunk or super fine, or she is probably paying his…

Real Love, What Is It???

In a folktale that has been retold for centuries in many variations (one of which is Shakespeare's King Lear), an elderly king asks his three daughters how much they love him. The two older sisters deliver flowery speeches of filial adoration, but the youngest says only "I love you as meat loves salt." The king, insulted by this homely simile, banishes the youngest daughter and divides his kingdom between…

What Is The Most Important Thing In Your Life???

If you and I were face to face right now and I asked you that question, you’d probably promptly reply with “my family” or “my children” or “my spouse.”

But are you actually living that way? We say our family and relationships are most important, but our values are demonstrated not by our words, but by our deeds—not by what we say, but what we…

Men Have Feelings!

Men are NOT looking for a duplicate of himself but in search of a woman who compliments his life. In my experience of coaching women, most usually seeks a clone of themselves but a man who is one step better…make a little bit more money, a…

Happy holidays vs Merry Christmas

 So I wanted to write about the way that the words Merry Christmas have grown to be looked at as some politically incorrect way of addressing Dec. 25th. For me it is quite simple so I don't think there is much to say. The Dec. 25th holiday is called and has been called Christmas for a very long time. It is now supposed to be offensive if you say Merry Christmas to a non Christian, but I can't imagine how. What is offensive about calling a holiday what it is? I believe that if you do not…

What World Do You Really Live In?

Walk into any restaurant, airport, park, or even a child’s school play or Little League game and you will see many people who aren’t even there.

While their bodies are there, their minds and spirits are trafficking in another world—on email, Facebook, Twitter, Farmville, Second Life, Amazon, eBay, Angry Birds, Yahoo News or any number of alternative virtual worlds.
