The phenomenon of parallel perception is difficult to define in a few words. Defining it as a state of consciousness in our dreams would be totally incomplete. But from this, how can we be conscious in a dream?

This is the theory recommended by shamanism. There is a transpersonal, immaterial world that is difficult to explain. It is incredible to be able to reach that initial state of dreaming and being aware of it. It feels like sailing in this dream world. This feeling gives you power and the experience makes you appreciate this knowledge.

Think about how powerful it makes you feel to be aware that you are having a nightmare. And that is just the projection of your mind and not some kind of reality. Sleepiness has nothing to do with lucidity. Many philosophers and psychologists have explained that this lucidity during sleep gives you the incredible feeling of control. It is possible to choose what happens next in your dreams. The landscape is juggled according to your wishes.

But what is most fascinating about this rather strange experience for most of us is the feeling of freedom that eludes you. Certain authors explain this as freedom granted once you are beyond the laws of physics or the laws of society. Among those who have managed to experience them, some benefited from a sublime euphoric love, others from a condition of regeneration, of infinite plenary emptiness, full of meaning and love at the same time. It is an inspiring state that allows you to develop your personal abilities.

The meaning of identity is further amplified. The greatest value of this awareness that keeps us awake while we sleep is that it greatly develops our mental lucidity. It is true that this is a reality within your mind, but being aware of it helps you to turn it into another kind of reality. These dreams that appear “in the clear of mind” are truly revealing. Anyway, these reflect only one side of the parallel perception. Once you understand the power of words and the meaning of silence, you will be well on your way to understanding what parallel perception really means.

When planning a wonderful weekend getaway or a great vacation in a vacation rental home, keep in mind that scammers are ready and waiting to take your money and leave you without that beautiful beach house you thought you booked. How to avoid being a victim of abuse on the Internet? Be aware and smart. Trust your instincts. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Use your good sense and caution and you can book a lovely vacation for you and your family in a great place. Do your research. Use reputable travel websites for one thing. Check the references on the specific vacation beach house you are interested in renting. While there are many vacation rental sites on the Internet, not all are created equal. Check the comments and blogs on the actual site you are looking for and choose.

Are you open to going anywhere that looks good, or do you have a particular place in mind? Are your dates firm or can you be flexible? Going somewhere that is off the beaten path can offer new adventures and things you may not have thought of. If you are open at different times of the year and dates, you may be able to negotiate a free night or a significant discount, feel free to ask!

One of the current common fraudulent reservations involves moneygrams. Never reserve a spot and send a moneygram as payment. This is a sure sign that someone is phishing your site. It can happen without the owner knowing about it; your website gets hacked and inquiries from legitimate tenants like you are directed to your email account.

This recently happened with a California vacation rental home in Marin County. A renter had made an initial inquiry to the owner through an online paid travel website. After the initial contact and response, the owner’s email was compromised and the renter was now dealing with a scammer. An official looking agreement was emailed to the renter for the rental dates with instructions to send a moneygram to a name and address in Houston, Texas. The prospective tenant went to Walmart to send the moneygram and only mentioned that he felt a little weird sending it. The clerk warned him, wisely, and he decided to call the owner directly. Lucky for him, as this was a scam. He happened to have the house open and was able to book directly with the owner, paying with PayPal.

Stay alert and you can have a wonderful time in vacation rental properties and create beautiful, lasting memories of a once-in-a-lifetime event!

Blobitecture, also called “blob architecture” or “blobism”, refers to modern buildings with an amorphous, blob-like shape. “Blobitecture” is a term coined by New York Times magazine writer William Safire, who used it to sarcastically describe the sudden increase in amoeba-like buildings. Contrary to his intention, the architects happily adopted “blobitecture” to describe an exciting new architectural movement.

Blobitecture is a dynamic form of architecture that is still widely used today. Blobitecture is unlike any other architectural form because it originates entirely from Computer Aided Design (CAD). In software architecture jobs, architects use CAD to manipulate the contours of buildings into virtually any shape. As they do this, the software automatically calculates mathematical equations that infuse the design with structural soundness. Prior to the development of CAD, architects adhered to conventional geographic shapes as they relied on the structural stability of these shapes. Now, thanks to CAD software, the shape of a building has unlimited possibilities.

Today, most of the architects implement blob architecture for glass and steel structures. It is rarely used for private residential houses, because glass and steel materials make “stain buildings” quite transparent. Rather, it is used much more often for tourist attractions, such as museums, theaters, and concert halls. It is also increasingly used for scientific buildings, such as geodesic domes used for meteorological observatories and greenhouses. Finally, a greater number of commercial buildings are blob structures, such as London City Hall and architecture firm Future Systems.

Blobitecture emerged during the 1990s when CAD systems were first developed for architects and interior designers. In 1993 the first blobitecture building was erected: the Water Pavilion in the Netherlands, which was designed entirely in CAD. Other large-scale projects followed in quick succession, the best known of which is probably the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. This museum, located in Bilbao, Spain, was designed by the renowned Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry. Opened to the public in 1997, it consists of several concave and convex curves. Since it is located in a port, its glass and titanium curves reflect light from both the sky and the water. In addition, its curved silhouette is reminiscent of a ship. This museum of modern art goes a long way in making Bilbao a Spanish tourist attraction.

America has its own ‘blobitecture’ buildings. Seattle has the Experience Music Project museum, another Gehry-designed building, opened in 2000. Like the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, this museum consists of seemingly random curves made of sheet metal. The undulations of the building give it a flowing silhouette, perhaps as a tribute to the museum’s musical exhibits. Although the form of the Guggenheim museum reflects the vicinity of the port, the form of the Project can be summed up as “form follows function”. In fact, Gehry directly attributed the shape of the building to that of a smashed Stratocaster electric guitar, made famous by Jimi Hendrix. Unlike the Guggenheim, the Experience Music Project also incorporates more colors into its exterior design, though its metal reflects as much light as the Guggenheim.

Other cities have recognizable examples of blobitecture. England contains spot structures not only in London, but in other cities as well. For example, the north-eastern city of Gateshead has the Sage Gateshead Building, which was designed by the architectural firm Foster and Partners. This building is a performing arts center and musical institution. This structure is shaped like a caterpillar, made up of multiple spheres that contract and expand as the building progresses. Its materials include glass and stainless steel, allowing it to shine by capturing every angle of sunlight. Its free-flowing form can be said to reflect the philosophy of this institution that all musical genres are equal.

Berlin also has another blobitectural structure of “form follows function”. This structure is the Philological Library, designed by the English architect Norman Foster. Opened in 2005, the Library is part of the Free University of Berlin campus. In keeping with the intellectual purpose of the university, the Library resembles a human brain. Like many other blobitecture buildings, its main components are steel and glass.

Today’s architects rely on numerous CAD software programs to build a blob architecture. Contrary to its appearance, a lot of math goes into ‘blobitecture’ designs. Most CAD programs, such as AutoCAD, allow the user to create a basic three-dimensional “sketch” and manipulate those lines in numerous directions. Blob architecture arises when the user makes those lines “wavy” and irregular, and “inflates” the design of the building. In the later stages of structural design, architects can use CAD to specify materials of construction and interior components for the project.

As a measure of the popularity of blobitecture, architecture students can now take college blobitecture courses. There are also online courses that offer blobitectural study. Many architects concentrating on urban planning architecture decide to learn about blobitecture, since blobitecture is most prevalent in metropolitan areas. In addition, many CAD courses, offered both online and in-person at educational institutions, allow architects to get hands-on practice with blobitectural design.

As more architects break with established geometric shapes, blobism is likely to become part of more international urban landscapes. CAD will generate endless shapes of blobitecture in both exterior and interior design. Many ambitious architects are exploiting blobism to push architecture to its extreme limits. Additionally, many entry-level architect jobs demand CAD expertise; so many architecture students choose to use blobitecture to gain fluency in CAD.

Sometimes I hear from wives who have a hard time keeping quiet about their husband’s affair. This can be true even when the adventure is long over and a fair amount of time has passed. Many times wives really want to move on but can’t seem to and one way this shows up is when they constantly make snide comments about their husband and her affair.

I recently heard from a wife who said, “My husband’s affair ended over a year ago. I should have processed it more than I have so far. We are trying to save our marriage and move on. I am truly committed to doing that.” , but I don’t always act like that. I always find myself making mean, sarcastic, sarcastic comments to my husband about his affair. For example, if he calls to tell me he got caught at work, I say something like ‘you sure are. How do I know? That’s even true? Or, if he looks at another woman, I’ll say ‘is she your next fling?’ One last example is if my husband compliments me in any way I’ll say something like ‘yeah right, I bet that’s what you were thinking about me when you slept with someone else’ I know these comments are unnecessary and only make it worse things, but I can’t seem to stop myself.

Boy, I understand this problem. And it’s not weird. I would say that there is a rare wife who doesn’t make at least a few sarcastic comments or occasionally bring up the issue. You can’t be expected to never worry or mention it again. But, when it becomes almost obsessive or you feel like it’s really causing problems or making the situation worse, then it’s time to address it, which I’ll try to help you do below.

Ask yourself if you keep commenting because of unresolved issues: Often when you find yourself unable to make those little snarky comments, it’s not because you’re an evil person or because you’ll never heal or get over it. Instead, these comments may arise because you have questions or concerns about issues that keep coming up. Still don’t trust your husband? Are you still worried that he is not sorry or sorry enough? Is it a concern that he will cheat again? Are you worried that he is telling little white lies that will lead to bigger lies, like more infidelity?

Because very often, your comments are a way of trying to get a reaction or response from your husband. And many times, you hope that this answer will guide you towards the change that you have been wanting but have not yet seen.

What to do if you want to stop constantly commenting on the matter: As I mentioned before, ask yourself if your feedback is the result of unresolved issues, and then try to resolve those issues. If you can do this, the comments may stop, or at least slow down.

However, they are still a problem. Then try these strategies to get some relief. Pause each time a comment occurs to you, and then stop for a second and ask yourself what you really want to say. For example, a comment like “Sure, you think I’m pretty. Is that why you cheated on me?” it could be a front for concerns like: is he still attractive and committed to me? Can I trust you to tell me the truth?

You may want to find a time when you can freely say what you really want to ask. That way, those comments that are really trying to ask or express something else won’t need to come out as much. If all else fails, train yourself to pause, count to 10, or change the subject when tempted to comment. Then ask yourself if you could ask the question you really want to ask or if your comment was really intended to vent or serve some purpose.

Please do not get me wrong. I understand the temptation and even the need to make these comments. And I know how it feels to not be able to stop or control them. But I also know that they are really useless, other than to sustain pain and frustration. I also know that you can learn different behaviors that are more productive for you and your marriage.

I would like to celebrate and explore the health benefits of original home cooking.

The first food we receive upon entering the world is breast milk; a food so perfectly balanced to provide nutrition, hydration and protection that it is impossible to replicate it synthetically. Breast milk confers many health benefits on infants and nursing mothers, and yet the World Health Organization has suggested that it is one of the world’s most underused resources and that reversing the decline in breastfeeding could save 1.5 million lives every year. Many women in the West choose not to eat, experience difficulties, or cannot easily eat after returning to work. In the rest of the world, unscrupulous formula companies or perceptions of Western culture may encourage women to believe that their babies will be healthier and happier with Western-style infant formula, and that breastfeeding is a obsolete and impoverished method. practice. However, breastfeeding confers a multitude of health benefits for both mother and baby;

Breastfeeding supports the child’s immune system. Some benefits last while the child is nursing as the baby ‘shares’ the mother’s immunity to disease. (In fact, breastfed babies have 15% fewer GP visits than formula-fed babies.) Some effects can last a lifetime; offering protection against heart disease, Crohn’s disease and insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes, with research adding more diseases to this list each year. It appears that the longer a child is breastfed, the stronger the protective influences, and longer breastfeeding is linked to a reduction in atopic dermatitis and asthma, other allergic conditions, and a lower risk of childhood obesity. There is also preliminary evidence to suggest that breastfeeding protects children against some types of cancer and certain autoimmune conditions. Artificially fed babies suffer from ear infections, urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal infections and allergic conditions more frequently.

The mother also benefits from breastfeeding; Harvard Medical School has done research showing a lower incidence of type 2 diabetes in women who breastfeed, and the longer they breastfeed, the lower the incidence. Breastfeeding mothers also reduce the risk of developing breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and osteoporosis.

Breastfeeding women do not need to increase their caloric intake, as used to be suggested, but it is important to support lactation through healthy eating and drinking plenty of water. Be careful when consuming trans fats, as they reduce the amount of nutritious ‘cream’ in breast milk. Make sure your breasts are supported at all times by wearing a well-fitting bra and, especially during exercise, a good sports bra (www.lessbounce.com).

Keep in mind that breasts typically change in size during pregnancy, lactation, and weaning, so you may need to spend more than one sports bra to cover the period from early pregnancy to weaning; Having a sports bra that fits you well is paramount and well worth the investment.

Until next time, stay healthy,

While it may seem like streaming on Twitch.tv is all about the games, the reality is that it’s the personalities behind the games that people really come to watch. In fact, you can be a more successful streamer if you take more time to practice your small talk, rehearse a few jokes, or rehearse a few tips to give your audience while you play. With this in mind, we take a look at some top tips to help you become a better streamer and, if you’re really good, the next big gaming personality.

Interact with the audience

Probably the biggest mistake streamers make is not including their audience in the presentation. Imagine that you are giving a presentation on stage in front of a live audience. The first and most important factor in this is the inclusion of a webcam in your stream. Nothing has a bigger impact on audience interaction than allowing people watching your game to see how and how you’re reacting.

Respond to user questions and comments.

You don’t have to answer everyone, but if a certain question or comment catches your eye or is popular with the crowd, take a second to address it. It will help encourage more conversation and let them know that you are listening and not fully focused on the game.

Entertain

When you’re on the air, it’s a firmly one-man show with the spotlight on you. Keeping your entire audience entertained and happy is almost impossible since everyone wants to watch different things, but there are some basic paths you can take that most people enjoy.

Teacher. He imparts your gaming knowledge to the masses. Strive to be the best in the game, or even the champion/race/player you usually broadcast about. Word of his progress will soon spread, attracting those who want to learn in droves. Staying up to date with the latest patches and updates will also ensure that you always have something to talk about.

The joker/entertainer. You’re the life of the party off screen, so why not bring this talent to the screen? Pop culture, current events, you can improvise with all of that. If you’re not gifted with the power of witty banter, preparation and research are your friends. Take some quick notes on topics you might talk about if there’s a noticeable lull. Or you could just be the guy who tells bad jokes all the time and make that your thing. The point is to have a second act that complements your game and makes it a more complete and unique experience.

Pro. If you really like gaming and like the best, but don’t feel like sharing the knowledge (at least vocally), you’re a pro. Even though you won’t be talking as much because you’re almost completely focused on the game, don’t leave the webcam. A picture is worth a thousand words, so let the audience enjoy the little smile you give as you force the enemy team to GG.

Stream frequently and on a schedule

To spark that initial interest in you, you’ll want to stream quite often, at least several times a week. The more your face appears, the more people will come to recognize you and become familiar with you, resulting in more repeat visitors. TO increase this exposure, you’ll want to make sure people know when you’re online. Twitter and Facebook are great ways to get the word out shortly beforehand, but a longer-term plan will allow people to plan ahead to make time for their favorite streamer.

The best way to think of your broadcast schedule is like a TV show. Pick the days and time you want to run each week and stick to it. Also try to keep the length about the same. People should want you to keep streaming when you leave and not slow down out of boredom. Keep them wanting more at the end of each session and they’ll be sure to tune in next time!

These are some simple methods that anyone can use to improve the quality of their stream. Combine these tips with some decent gaming skills and you’ll be on your way to the front page in no time!

Today I want to talk about the connection. It’s something we all want more of and something that in today’s culture, many of us lack. We lack a real connection with friends, family, and even the people closest to us: our partners.

Our society does not prepare us to make connection a priority. Sure there are phones, text messages, and social media, but that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about a heart to heart connection that can only happen when the phones hang up and we can slow down enough to really accept each other.

If you have children, it only becomes more challenging to create the space to connect. But what happens when we don’t make connection a priority?

Our relationships are like plants that need proper care to grow, and without care, they wither and eventually die.

I have recently been struggling with the connection. My husband and I are the parents of an amazing (and boisterous) two-year-old. I have a coaching business and I also teach at a university. My husband has his own job demanding of him. Sometimes it can feel like we’re just parenting together and going by like ships in the night.

We realized we need more time to slow down and connect, even if it means the blog post doesn’t get written or the house doesn’t get cleaned. It’s important to let go of perfection and make time to water the relationship.

Watering your relationship doesn’t have to look like going out to a fancy dinner and a Broadway show (although it can be). It can also be about taking ten minutes at the end of a busy day to sit next to each other, check in, and have a few minutes of heart connection. It can be about taking the extra ten seconds to hug and kiss your partner goodbye, instead of running out the door and yelling, “I love you, bye!”

When we make space for connection with our partners, everything becomes easier. Connection illuminates our burden and helps us remember that we are not doing it all alone. It helps us reconnect with what made us fall in love with this person in the beginning. And brings more lightness to the routine of everyday life. It helps us connect with gratitude and when we are thankful for what we have, we see the world in a completely different way.

What is one action you can take this week to slow down and connect with a partner or friend? Notice how it changes your perception and makes you feel fuller inside.

A guy with only an erect penis can be forgiven for indulging in a little masturbation now and then. It’s fun, the equipment is available, and when there’s nothing else to do, it relieves boredom. There’s nothing wrong with masturbation, but sometimes a guy gets into a situation where he caresses himself too often, or too roughly. Learning to exercise an appropriate amount of masturbation control is necessary for good penis care, as well as getting a guy out of the house once in a while.

If a man has a true masturbation addiction, he should seek the help of a mental health professional. But for garden variety, everyday control problems, here are some suggestions:

– Avoid pornography. This may seem like a no-brainer, but when it comes to the penis, the brain is often not consulted. Masturbation is more likely to occur when a man has an erect penis, and clearly the goal of male pornography is to induce that state of arousal. Many men enjoy pornography while masturbating, but a man who is trying to control things a bit more shouldn’t put obvious temptation in his way.

– Go to the gym. Getting an adequate amount of exercise often increases the chemicals that create satisfaction and happiness, which in turn can make a man feel more interested in doing things he normally wouldn’t otherwise. Since boredom can be a primary motivating factor for masturbating, engaging in and engaging in other distractions can be to your advantage. A man can get the same result by exercising at home, but getting out of the house and going to the gym makes the activity more social.

– Have some juice after the gym. Exercise increases testosterone, which can make a man more sexually inclined. (If you get a frequent boner at the gym, this is one of the reasons.) It’s a good idea to head somewhere after the gym, like a juice bar, to let the feeling cool down a bit.

– Find a hobby. Again, avoiding boredom can be key to controlling masturbation. If all a guy does is sit and watch TV or surf the Internet with no purpose, boredom is likely to set in. (And surfing the net easily leads to a bit of pornography.) This can be a good time to revive old hobbies and interests or develop new ones. A man needs to think of topics that appeal to him and then research them and get started: stamp collecting, model building, walking, biking, gardening, collecting seashells, etc. The list is endless.

– Join the club. Once an interest has been identified, find a local organization of others with a similar interest. Sharing one’s interest with others makes the experience more enjoyable. It’s also a good way to meet other people, possibly someone a man might be interested in.

– Start a relationship. While men masturbate whether in a sexual relationship or not, most men masturbate less frequently when they have regular partnered sex. So being in a relationship can be another way to keep masturbation in check.

As stated, there is nothing wrong with playing with an erect penis; but no guy likes to let masturbation be the controlling factor in his life. Whether you’re an occasional masturbator or someone who indulges frequently, masturbation often leads to a raw or sore penis. For this reason, using a top-tier penis health cream (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) is essential. Choose a cream that includes a combination of a high-end emollient (shea butter is a great option) and a natural moisturizer (like vitamin E) to provide soothing relief. It is also a good idea to select a cream with acetyl L-carnitine, which is neuroprotective; this can help in cases where rough masturbation has caused some loss of sensation in the organ.

Don’t let the Sybian vibrator intimidate you. It may seem complicated and it may cost more than your run-of-the-mill environment, but let us tell you that the Sybian may just be the sex toy you’ve been dreaming of!

Designed by Dave Lampert, the Sybian vibrator was first conceived in the 1970s but not developed until 1983. Its name comes from Sybaris, an ancient Greek city in southern Italy famous for being a center of luxurious living. , and Sybarite, which means a person who likes luxurious things.

The vibrator is attached to a large base that the woman sits on, and comes with up to four different sized washable phallus-shaped attachments that are made of synthetic rubber. Simply place the device on the floor and control the speed with a remote that controls both power and vibration/rotation. It has two movements, and a vaginal insert rotates inside the vagina and its speed goes from very slow to very fast. The entire area that makes contact with the vulva vibrates, as does the vaginal insert. This speed can also be controlled. Separate controls allow you to independently regulate vibration and rotation, giving you simultaneous, intense stimulation of both the clitoris and internal G-spot area.

Recommended by many sex therapists and counselors, many women report having their first orgasm from a Sybian vibrator. Offering incredible G-spot stimulation for approximately 75 percent of women, it delivers a powerful, deep, full-body orgasm. It also sensitizes the G-spot and, when used for sex therapy, can help a woman achieve a deep orgasm that can be inhibited by medications or emotional blocks.

Usually purchased as a learning tool to develop sexual responses or as a means of deeper fulfillment, this vibe can teach women a great deal about their sexual responses and potential. In fact, many women who use Sybians report experiencing multiple orgasms on a regular basis. Other women say that they can now orgasm during intercourse thanks to this pleasurable machine.

There are many advantages to using a Sybian vibrator. It is an excellent help to recover their sensuality for women over 60 years of age and it is erotic for lovers to see their partner ride the Sybian. You can also use it as foreplay and for women who are multi-orgasmic, it can last long after your partner is done for the night. Since men are generally not as orgasmic and tend to lose their erection after ejaculation, Sybian can be used to satisfy your needs before or after intercourse until you are completely satisfied.

Certainly giving new meaning to the term “ride them like cowgirls”, the Sybian vibrator is ideal for women who are a little more adventurous when it comes to sex toys, as well as those who need to have trouble reaching an orgasm.

Falling in love is wonderful, but it’s really the easy part of any lesbian relationship. What takes work and commitment is maintaining that relationship even after the passion fades, which it probably will over time. Most experts agree that passionate love has a life expectancy of 2-4 years. Therefore, compatibility and mutual respect become more and more important as your partnership progresses. Here are some tips to help you. Most are applicable to any relationship, but lesbians have some specific concerns.

• Communication, communication, communication: Don’t let the little cracks in your relationship turn into insurmountable canyons! Let your partner know what she’s thinking about things big and small. If something bothers you, speak up. Problems cannot be solved unless you talk about it.
• Make time for each other: The demands of life will always get in the way. If you don’t schedule “Us” time, it probably won’t happen to you. Once an hour is blocked on the calendar, you both know to schedule other appointments around that hour. For example, you can block Friday nights as time you spend on your relationship.
• Keep it cool: You know how the saying goes, “Relationships take work.” Well, that’s true, but it doesn’t always have to have a negative connotation. If you introduce an element of surprise into your relationship, it really helps. Bringing flowers home without an occasion, making a reservation at your favorite restaurant, or suggesting an activity out of the ordinary really goes a long way in keeping your relationship interesting and vibrant.
• Grow together, not apart: A really effective way to keep your relationship strong is to have shared goals. Working with your partner on a project or plan for the future can bring you closer by increasing your time together and sharing thoughts, dividing responsibilities, and even resolving your areas of disagreement. Ideas can be as simple as joining a volunteer group or as complicated as buying and restoring an old house in the city!
• Maintain Healthy Outside Relationships: Difficulties with family and friends can really take a toll on the health of your relationship. Stay on good terms with the people who are important to your partner. Solve the problems that exist. Let your partner know that you recognize the importance of their friends and family.
• Sex and Intimacy: Avoid “lesbian death in bed” at all costs. Sex is an important part of your relationship. Sex is strongly related to intimacy, since the hormone oxytocin is released during the sexual act. That hormone is responsible for enhancing your feelings towards your partner and is essential for long-term bonding. Another powerful hormone, dopamine, is released when you engage in strenuous physical exercise. Dopamine is also believed to be responsible for feelings of passionate love. So if things are getting a little slow in the bedroom, try taking your partner out dancing before your next sexual encounter!
• Avoid The Green Dragon: Jealousy! Unfortunately, very common in the lesbian community, jealousy can ruin a relationship. Jealousy occurs when there is a lack of trust between partners. If you feel like you are being controlled by a jealous partner or that you are jealous, confront those feelings. Discuss with your partner why you feel threatened in the relationship and leave it behind! Get professional help if you need it.
• Commitment: You can’t always do things your way…and neither can your partner. Commitment involves keeping the relationship on even ground; keep the balance between you. One strategy is to rate internally how important an issue is to you when you disagree with your spouse. If you quietly brush off the problem as a 1 or 2, let it slide. If you rate the importance a 9 or 10, continue the dialogue and find a solution you can both live with.
• Stay Connected: Stay in touch with the lesbian/gay community. Unlike heterosexual couples, homosexuals have virtually no social support. Having other LGBT friends, attending LGBT events, and going to local clubs can really prevent the social isolation many of us endure.
• Maintain Good Health: Hey, nothing is sexier and more romantic than a clean and healthy body! Take care of yourself. Eat well, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly.

Maintaining a healthy relationship is definitely worth the effort it takes. Just consider how miserable you’ve been in past relationships gone wrong. Then remember how wonderful this woman has made you feel. The trick is to stay on top of it and never, ever take your partner or the relationship for granted. If you make your relationship your #1 priority, you have the best chance of a happy and fulfilling future together!
