Do you think long distance relationships work? Do you think they are more stressful or less stressful? If you're with someone who's in the military, do you think they are worth waiting for? A lot of people seem skeptical when it comes to long distance relationships.What are your thoughts on long-distance relationships?
Long distance relationships can work if both people involved realize and accept the fact that it takes alot of hard work to keep it going. And if they're both willing to take that chance and keep the communication lines open. One cannot do the work for both and expect the relationship to make it.What are your thoughts on long-distance relationships?
it is really hard to be in a long distance relationship. There has to be a HUGE amount of TRUST. without it you have nothing yes that applies for someone you see everyday but in a long distance relationship u will go crazy wondering where they are who they are with especially if they do not answer your call or call you back since that is the only real connection you have to the person. a long distance relationship i think is harder than an at home relationship because you dont get to see the person often you dont get to hug or kiss him/her or go on a date you have to wait for however long until you see the person and then they leave and you start the process all over again. Long distance takes work, trust honesty and a serious commitment from both people.
I don't think it works because you never know, they could be going out with someone else out there and what not. However, I would wait for some1 in the military, cuz that's a HERO. Who doesn't want a HERO???
hmm i believe in it
..i had long distance relationship for 2 years!!!believe it.i was young and very much in love.. me in europe she in usa.it worked because we really loved each other no other woman worth for me or other man for her.we seperate when we finally lived in the same house ..but not when we where far away!
They don't work nor will they ever work. Unless you're married and passing time before you're back together again.
they never work,,,out of site out of mind
okay if its someone in the military then yes i think it could work..normally i would say no though if its just someone u knew long distance that u liked and was asking about a long distance relationship.It just depends on what u can deal with in a relationship.
I think they are very, very hard to make work. I was in one that lasted several years and found out that, unfortunately, when there are problems, there is nothing that gets close to the power that a hug can have in solving them. That is very hard to have being in a long distance relationship. Unfortunately, the phone will never get close to human contact in getting people together.
Yes, they are a million times more stressful than a regular relationship. My husband and I dated 2.5 years long distance, before I moved to where he lived (we saw each other once a month over that time) and I always swore if it didn't work out, I'd never do it again. It CAN work, but it takes a lot of love and fidelity to make it last.
the just don't work out, they just don't.
iraq sux!!!
(love knows no distace!)
The key about long distance relationships is that it requires a lot of commitment from both involved in it. Not seeing each other for long periods of time can be rough and one can almost give up on it after so long. They can work for a short period of time, but if it has to last upwards to a year or longer, it could be an unrealistic relationship...but I don't doubt that it could be done with enough commitment, but I just don't see it happening that long.
I dont believe in them and think the people who have them have some sort of need for it. As in they really dont want a serious commitment so they find people far away to have ';something'; with that they call a relationship.
Hi,
Well first of all you have to ask yourself, ';How old am I?'; Long distance relationships are extremely difficult, but not impossible. A successful long distance relationship starts with you. How mature are you? How comitted are you? And how well will you be able to control your own emotions?
I asked myself these questions so many times. And everytime I lied to myself. In the end, I was left broken hearted. I am 28 now and I still feel that I would not be able to last in a LDR. Why? I am just a needy guy. I need to hold my woman when I am lonley and I need to be able to make love to my woman when I really want to get close to her.
Likewise, women need alot of attention. Thats the truth. Will you man be able to give you so much attention from half way around the world? Because if that special person is more then 1 hrs drive away from where you live he might as well be on a different continent.
Anyways, I am not trying to discourage you. I want to encourage you to do what is right for you. I was always somebody that needed to get burned before I knew that fire is hot.
Hope this helps...
P.S.- I've been engaged to an air hostess before... I've had the worse of the worse LDR experience!

What does the Bible say about restoring relationships.?
Is it Gods wish or will that we restore all wayward relationships in our lives? Im trying to find info for a friend. ThanksWhat does the Bible say about restoring relationships.?
Nothing worth readingWhat does the Bible say about restoring relationships.?
All the trite Bible quotes didn't quite answer your question. Suggestion: think for yourself and put your Bible in a drawer.
There are quite a few here is the first one and I will look for more.
Galatians 6:1
1Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.
Matthew 5:22-24 (New International Version)
22But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother[a]will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,[b]' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.
23';Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift
Matthew 18:15-17 (New International Version)
A Brother Who Sins Against You
15';If your brother sins against you,[a] go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. 16But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.'[b] 17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
Sorry to be so long winded, but these are the best examples of what the Bible says about restoring relationships. It is not easy, but for your friends peace, I think it is worth the attempt. My parents divorced and the pain it caused was great. Now, while not married, they get along and share in the joys of being Grandparents. I only wish they could completely restore, but that is not likely. I also wish they came to the saving grace of God.
It depends. Some are worth fixing and others better to be left alone.
The scriptures tell us that we should live in peace with all men to the extend that it is possible.
You need to be the one to live in peace with your fellow man, and if they refuse to do the same, then so be it.

When slapped ,turn the other cheek so if they wish to slap it they can. After that beat 'He--- out of them! Forgive thy brother 70x7 if need be
Blessed are the peace makers. You don't have to hang around the person any more, but forgive and be civil.
Absolutley. You should always forgive a person, like Jesus forgave us. Forgive debts, of any kind! We should always work out relationships, wheather it be marrige, friends or family. As long as you do it by the bible, and do not compromise on the word of God, you can not go wrong!
Gospel of St. Matthew 5:23: Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee;
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
I am not sure that it is wise to restore ALL wayward relationships in our lives, but I know that we should forgive everyone who has trangressed against us. Case in point: A guy robs you at gun point and subsequently ends up in jail. I would forgive the guy, but I wouldn't search him out for verbal communication.
Also it takes two to restore a relationship. Sometimes you try and the other person is not interested. In that point I would just impress on the other person that I have forgiven him/her and will wait patiently until they feel able to speak. That is all you can do. Remember even Paul and Barnabas had a parting of the way.
Mat 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Mat 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Mat 18:35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Mar 11:25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Luk 6:37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Luk 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
Luk 17:4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
Luk 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
2Cr 2:7 So that contrariwise ye [ought] rather to forgive [him], and comfort [him], lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
2Cr 2:10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I [forgive] also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave [it], for your sakes [forgave I it] in the person of Christ;
1Jo 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
It seems to me that the Bible is pretty big on restoring relationships.rosacea

Do you think much has changed in relationships between men and women since the 1940's?
what has changed?Do you think much has changed in relationships between men and women since the 1940's?
Many, many people do not take much of anything seriously today, especially marriage vows. Yes things have changed, and for the most part, not for the better I might add. Relationships today are easy come/easy go and few think of the heartache and consequence. We are living in a ';me first'; generation and the repercussions are going to be devastating. They already are, just ask the children!Do you think much has changed in relationships between men and women since the 1940's?
I believe certain things have changed.
In general women have become more independent and outspoken in their relationships.
The majority of women in the 40's would have seen their career in getting married, or would give up a career after marriage and look after husband %26amp; children and taking care of the household. (A career woman would have been an exception)
Today's women have their own income and in most modern relationships the household chores and care for children are shared.
It's true, the divorce rate is much higher than it was in those days. Even though this is sad, it means the majority of women is not putting up with verbal or physical abuse like some might have in ';olden days';.
On the other hand I believe that the actual value of love and companionship has stayed the same ( and will probably always stay the same - emotions %26amp; feelings do not change)
I even remember my grandmother smiling, when I told her about my first love and the insecurities I felt with it. She told me, she had felt just the same, when she fell in love for the first time.
So here you are - after centuries love will always be love
Only the ';dressings'; will change
Try reading this for a good idea about relationships and how the are changing

What's the point of high school ';relationships';?
So, kids now are ';making out'; at ages 12 and 13? ';relationships'; around that age too? what's the point of it? why not wait a little bit and enjoy being a KID? go outside, go be a teenager and mess around with friends? i don't understand, any insights?What's the point of high school ';relationships';?
I think they prepare us for adult ones. I learned a lot from my teenage affairs. Namely, what I won't accept in a relationship and what type of guy I want.What's the point of high school ';relationships';?
we're now in the age where parents want to be considered ';cool'; and think of themselves as friends and equals to their children rather than parents and the boss. they frequently fail to set good examples and set firm boundaries for their kids. The media doesn't help with frequently pushing relationships and sexuality onto children at earlier ages. But, what can you do? America is morally doomed, so just enjoy the ride to the bottom.
i definitely agree. i mean, I'm only sixteen. but i have noticed that being in relationships at a young age like that and now are no fun. i just want to have fun being a kid and hanging out with friends! there's no need to start the whole commitment thing and become attached to one person at this age. we have so much time in the future to have relationships, we shouldn't worry about them now when we have so many other things to experience. i guess some people just are meant to be in relationships and start out young, and they may like being in relationships and having a bf or gf rather than hanging out with friends.
At that age, boys and girls have high sexual energy and we live in a society where dating at that age became a normal thing, so why should they not date? Most of these relationships are not serious and don't last long anyway.
To practice.

Why communication skills are important in developing relationships with children in nursery/schools?
please can sum1 hlp me...am really confused :-(
fnk uWhy communication skills are important in developing relationships with children in nursery/schools?
Very young children often aren't able to express their thoughts and feelings in words, or express them poorly. Because of this, it's important that adults working with them can listen carefully and help children to learn how to express themselves and also provide what they need.
Children are 'social learners' and learn by copying other people, so any adults working with them should model good communication, both speaking and listening, so that children will learn from them.
Children need to know that they are being listened to and heard. This helps them to build up a rapport and trust with adults and promotes better relationships. The more you learn how to listen to children, the better you will be able to assess their abilities and interests and plan for their next steps in learning and development. You will also get to know them well and then you can support their emotional needs by being in tune with them.
The better and sooner children learn to communicate, the more easily they will form friendships and their confidence and self-esteem will increase.
Hope this helps! :-)Why communication skills are important in developing relationships with children in nursery/schools?
Communication skills are a must in all sectors. With children it can be tougher to get them on your side, you will need good verbal and non verbal skills to keep them interested in what you are doing. If you keep their attention then they are yours. Your voice, body language are very important with children, if they dislike you then it will take an age to get them back on your side.

Long term impact of abuse on adult relationships?
Do people who suffered childhood sexual abuse have problems with intimate personal relationships as adults? Are they too quick to become intimate, or do they shy away from intimacy alltogether? Do male abuse survivors react differently than female abuse survivors?Long term impact of abuse on adult relationships?
As someone who did suffer childhood sexual abuse, I have had both issues: too quick to become intimate and shy away from intimacy altogether (obviously at different times in my life). As much as I've told myself it doesn't still affect me and my life, it does. I certainly think that male abuse survivors do react differently in some respects, because of society's views that males are ';stronger'; than females. However, I believe it's based on the individual and what exactly they endured and how they've overcome their abuse. All of my abusers are now dead, which helps me tremendously, knowing they can't hurt anyone else (they all died from natural causes, but it still helps with closure).Long term impact of abuse on adult relationships?
Most definitely.
The females are often sexually hyper-active with strangers and abusive partners, now if they like the partner they will shy away from sex.
Men do not have the same options as women so they often do not have much sex but fantasize about abuse or abusing others.
Yes they do...because their self esteem is usually so low, and they sometimes have even gotten the blame for an adults horrific behavior...some people I have known, get into the intimacy too quick as a device for approval.. some males I know, end up prostituting on the streets, and trust is a major issue...however, all things can heal with God and Jesus in their lives, once they believe, forgive, and move on....rosacea
