I believe each individual has different views on matters, especially with this "being married is better than being single" but there is this friend of mine that said, he prefers being single because when he was single, his life was cooler and he could concentrate more on his professional career and friends/family. He said, now he knows why many guys delay marriage because of this freedom, the fear of not conducting life as we want. Though nature gives us several opportunity to fall in love and we know we have to go all the way, we just do it... It is like running, the moment we hear the gun shooting we run and in a few months a love relationship turns into a marriage and we swear love forever with joy and pain, we start a family, we change our life and start living differently. New important responsibilities arrive and we drive new cars, looking head of us to accomplish a new project which is the family, the house, children, saving plans, bills, new type of vacations, families' reunions, new must do, s.ex! intimacy for example, is it going to be exciting as it was before having our kids? I laughed, and said, thats bad taught though, meaning you never loved your wife. Nope, I love her, just tired of the same thing. Although sex is not the most important thing in a new born family simply because new priorities come up and also because our lady changes after having kids, but it still has it way in marriage. So, i believe many guys also reason in this way, and ladies, how do we settle this issue of so called change-after-child-bearing? |

These studies are certainly not conclusive and do not decidedly settle the question of whether or not delaying intimacy is beneficial for a long-term relationship. But the results are intriguing, and as they at least point towards that idea, it’s worth exploring why this might be so. The main point of contention in the debate over when you should get intimate in a relationship generally boils down to whether it’s better to find out if you are sexually “compatible” as early as possible, or whether holding off on sex might uniquely strengthen the relationship in such a way as to make that question a moot point. For example, while the participants in Busby’s study who waited until marriage to have sex would seemingly have taken the biggest gamble in “buying a car without ever taking it for a test drive” (to use an analogy that frequently comes up in this discussion), they still reported being more satisfied with their sex life than those who had kicked the tires right out the gate. Busby offers this explanation for such a result: “The mechanics of good sex are not particularly difficult or beyond the reach of most couples, but the emotions, the vulnerability, the meaning of sex and whether it brings couples closer together are much more complicated to figure out.” The following factors help explain how waiting to have sex may trump the question of sexual compatibility. |

In another study, Dr. Dean Busby sought to find out the effect that sexual timing had on the health of a couple’s eventual marriage. He surveyed over 2,000 people who ranged in age from 19 to 71, had been married anywhere from 6 months to more than 20 years, and held a variety of religious beliefs (and no religious beliefs at all). The results were controlled for religiosity, income, education, race, and the length of relationship. What Busby found is that couples who delayed intimacy in a relationship enjoyed better long-term prospects and greater satisfaction in a variety of areas in their marriage. Those who waited until marriage to have sex reported the following benefits over those who had sex early on in the relationship: Relationship stability was rated 22 percent higher Relationship satisfaction was rated 20 percent higher Sexual quality of the relationship was rated 15 percent better Communication was rated 12 percent better For those couples that waited longer in a relationship to have sex, but not until marriage, the benefits were still present, but about half as strong.

Is There Any Evidence That Delaying Intimacy Benefits a Long-Term Relationship? You may have a heard a parent, teacher, or preacher contend that waiting to have sex will ultimately strengthen a relationship. But is there any actual evidence out there that backs up this well-meaning, if often vague advice? There is at least some that seems to point in that direction. In one study, Dr. Sandra Metts asked 286 participants to think about the different turning points in their present or past relationships. One question she hoped to answer was whether it made a difference if the couple had made a commitment to be exclusive and had said “I love you” before or after commencing sexual intimacy. Metts found that when a commitment is made and love is expressed before a couple starts to have sex, the “sexual experience is perceived to be a positive turning point in the relationship, increasing understanding, commitment, trust, and sense of security.” However, when love and commitment is expressed after a couple becomes sexually involved, “the experience is perceived as a negative turning point, evoking regret, uncertainty, discomfort, and prompting apologies.” Metts did not find a significant difference in this pattern between men and women. |

Brett & Kate McKay when is the right time to start having sex in a relationship? Not until marriage? A couple months in? The “standard” three dates? Sometimes even on the first date? There are as many opinions on this question as there are men in this world, and each will often vigorously defend his position. The guy who waited until marriage says he couldn’t be happier with his decision, while the guy who sees nothing wrong with sex on the first date contends that such behavior is entirely natural and without negative consequence. And of course abstinence guy will never be able to step into the shoes of early-in-the-relationship guy, and vice versa. Which is why time and experience have shown that arguing about this decision – especially over the internet! – rarely, if ever, convinces someone to entirely change their position. Thus what I hope to lay out in this article is not an iron-clad rule for when you should become intimate in a relationship. Instead what I aim to present today is a case for delaying intimacy in a relationship and taking it slower – leaving the interpretation of what “slower” means up to each individual man to filter through his own moral, religious, and philosophical beliefs. Note: Before we begin, I should probably point out the somewhat obvious fact that this post is directed at those who desire a long-term relationship. While I don’t personally endorse the one-night stand, if that’s your modus operandi, then this article would not be relevant for your situation.. #stay tune# |

egopersonified: I am learning to let it all out by locking myself up in a room and talking out loud as if am confronting the person. After doing this and I talk to the person again, it almost feels like I ve poured it out on them and sometime later cant even the ones I said in private and the ones I said to the person. even if bible doesnt state how to release it...but deep down in your heart,you know bible will never those over reactions.. so how did you feel when you realized you have over reacted? |

I, as an individual believe anger is a normal and even healthy emotion, but it's important to deal with it in a positive way. Uncontrolled anger can take a toll on both your health and your relationships. leaving gender-biased alone, research reveals that women tend to suffer more from anger than men because of the deep emotions they posses. But ladies? how do you control your anger? |
