Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Do You Want Your Husband Back? How to Do it

By Ricardo d Argence

Sometimes marriages crumble rather quickly and other times they can take years to deteriorate. Either way it is never an easy thing to go through. Many women that find themselves in this situation find themselves saying I want my husband back.

If you aren't willing to let your marriage die, if you aren't willing to let it fall apart right before your very eyes, then do something about it. Here are some things that can help you get that love back when "I want my husband back."

1. Realize that it wasn't just you and it wasn't just him. It was the both of you. If you are willing to make changes in the way you approach the marriage, your husband might be willing to. Some of it comes down to the way you look at the situation.

2. Think about what makes you happy as well as what makes your husband happy. Make sure that you are both willing to make sacrifices to make to other happy.

3. Start with where you are in life and see where you are in life. Look at what it is that makes you happy and drives you. Look for the same thing with your husband. Try to find common ground. If there is love there, you will find that common ground.

4. It is important that you and your husband do something together that makes you both happy. Think about the things that you used to love to do together. Take a walk, go to the beach, have a nice dinner or go for a hike. Find something that you can do alone together to work on building your relationship. A little romance never hurt anyone, but it is important that you dont go over the top.

5. It is important that you let your husband know just how much he means to you. You should do this but recognizing the things that he has said that he needs from you. You need to take the appropriate steps to prove to him that he is worth saving your marriage for. While you shouldnt expect him to do the same, you will find that he is likely to start giving a little in your direction as well. Your reason for changing needs to be because you love your husband and you want to fix your marriage. This is where being selfish is not an option.

You have to know that it may not be possible to get back the relationship to the level it was when it was at it's peak. Just because "I want my husband back" doesn't mean that it is the best thing to get it back to the way that it was.

It is important to remember that just because your relationship is at a low point; it wont always be that way. Many times it hitting all time lows in a relationship can help to build a healthier stronger relationship in the future. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication, but getting your husband back will be worth it in the end.

Things to Have in Mind if You Want to Recover a Lost Love

By Ricardo d Argence

If you want to win back lost love that is from a long time ago there may be an uphill battle ahead for you. If you are like many, you have reached a point in your life that you realize that things might have been better for you if you had taken that other path.

Maybe you thought the grass was greener. Maybe there was a litany of things you did wrong, or they did wrong, that drove you apart. Maybe you just miss a time you've idealized in your memory, putting gold pixie dust on cherished memories. If you want to move past the pixie dust and self delusion, follow these tips.

First, make sure that there is nothing in your life right now that may missing out on. The mistake you may have made in the past was that you didnt take advantage of the opportunities that you had at that moment. Make sure that you dont make the same mistake again by missing out on something potentially good.

A life built on regretful reflection isn't the one you want to lead. Look for love now, in your current relationship rather than spend the rest of your life going What if... Also, think about your current partner " jilting him or her so you can go chase an old flame is going to do bad things to their self esteem. Does going after an old flame make you look selfish? Chances are, it does.

It's also worthwhile to ask if they've moved on. Quite honestly, time wounds all heels, and heals all wounds. Just because you're not happy with your present partner and are longing for what you gave up doesn't mean they're feeling the same way about you. Trying to re-open a dormant relationship could hurt both of you.

Ask yourself if they're happy and content. If they are, leave well enough alone. All you'll do by dredging up might have beens is make both of you miserable. That may seem cool in movies, but it sucks in real life.

Everyone changes over time. You changed. They've changed. Events may well have made you entirely different people. The circumstances that your old relationship had don't exist any more. If you're going to make the second go around, focus not on the past, but on the future you want to build together.

Nothing reeks more of desperation than suddenly appearing in someone else's life. Start out slowly, read the signs carefully, and move cautiously. Even if you are obsessed and desperate, that's only appealing in stupid movies. In real life, it's creepy.

Build up to it slowly. Don't tell them how much you love them and can't live without them. (If you can't live without me, why aren't you dead yet? is a good phrase to remember.) Take the time to know them, befriend them, and let them know you, and how you've changed for the better.

As with any relationship, look forward. Forgive the past, learn from the past, and let it lie on its own. What matters is proving that the future you can have together is worth pursuing.

You need to make the most of the chances you're given, and you need to focus on what you (and they) stand to gain from linking up again. Take advantage of today, so that tomorrow is not full of regrets for choices left unmade. If you're going to have a chance at making this love work again, you need to live in the moment, not the past.

The Best Tips to Save Your Marriage

By Ricardo d Argence

For couples that are looking for ways to save their marriage and prevent it from ending in divorce, need to work together. It is very difficult to watch a once precious marriage crumble and fall apart. It is heartbreaking to watch as two people that were once so in love, grow apart and go their separate ways. If you want to stop the disintegration of your marriage, both people will have to work together.

The first thing to do is chill out. Take some time to step away from the situation and catch your breath. Don't literally take a break from the marriage, just from the situation and allow yourself to calm down a bit. It is amazing how quickly things can heat up and snowball out of control. When you were a child you were probably told to count to ten whenever your emotions got out of control.

The same idea will apply in this case too. Before you say or do anything, take a breath. The next time your spouse says something that angers you, get control of yourself, calm down and release your anger. By releasing your anger you can learn to communicate and take the necessary steps to save your marriage.

Understand what is happening: While you are taking a moment to breathe, take a look at what is happening. This is where you try and look at the big picture and then look at things from other perspectives. From where you are standing at the moment things may look pretty bad. Try to look at it from other perspectives and it might not be as bad as you thought.

Try looking at your current situation from an outsider's point of view and from the perspective of your partner. When you ask others for their insights you might be able to see exactly how things got out of control. It is possible that there is a very simple solution to saving your marriage.

Learn to laugh at yourselves. This advice doesn't mean to make light of your situation, but it means that you don't need to take everything so seriously. Sometimes, really small things can snowball and get quickly out of control. When you are able to actually see what caused this landslide you just might end up laughing about it.

It can be hilarious to find out how a minuscule thing can turn into something so huge when it didn't have to. It can be hilarious if you are willing to let it be. Many times when people go through a rough time they will say, Sometime we are going to look back at this and laugh! Why wait?

Look for ways to improve: Once you have had a chance to step back and catch your breath and then been able to get some perspective on the situation, you can move on. When you have realized that at it's root, this situation or problems that you have been struggling with is really small and manageable you can get things on track.

The next thing that you need to do is to make a commitment to finding a way to improve. If you are the one that is responsible for the little things that get blown out of proportion, then try stopping it. If you have learned that you overreact, then stop it. Improve the way you handle situations and everything else may just fall into place to help save marriage.

You can work together to save your marriage. By working as a team you can bring together what belongs together; the two of you.

Consider changing your approach towards him and the relationship if you want you and your boyfriend to get back together. He may have panicked if the relationship moved along to quickly and marriage was on the horizon.

It could very well be that he felt smothered and didn't have enough space or didn't feel like he was in control, of his future. It could also be that you are pressuring him too much now and all he wants is to be away from you.

Hopefully this is the case but if you push too much it very well could be. If what you want is you and your boyfriend get back together you have to be aware of this.

Your boyfriend may be like many males and thrive on being independent. They need their space from time to time. While the idea of marriage and commitment may have seemed appealing to them for a moment, reality could have set in and now they are feeling trapped. Males very often need to feel in charge. They need to feel in charge of not only themselves, but of situations.

He may have a hard time feeling in control when things get moving along in a rush. Understand that when you begin talking long-term commitment or marriage, he may not be ready and will feel sucked into the situation. If he does not feel ready for such a relationship, most likely he is not. If he is feeling pushed along that road and he is not ready yet, he will run the other way as hard as he can.

If he is not ready, he has left the relationship and you want, you and your boyfriend to get back together you have to keep it a secret from him. Do not show him that you are sensitive about the breakup or wanting to get back together. Do not try to force him down that road. Willingly walking that road together is what you want. Let him take the lead. He needs to feel as though it is his idea to choose the direction. When he is ready and he wants too, he will. You cannot fix the problem by forcing it.

You are dealing with a break up right now, since there is no direction. However, now is a good time to get back on that path? He may be free and clear of you to an extent.

If the two of you are still on a friendly basis and he wants to talk, be available. However, you should not be too available. When he calls, do not be readily available. When he wants to make plans, turn him down the first time but ask him for a rain check. You want him to pursue you, allow him to hunt.

Keep in mind that sometimes the things you want the most are those things that are the hardest to get. Let him hunt you. Men most often hunt for those things that are hardest to find. Allow him to go in for the kill and you will both be happy.

You want him to commit and if you make yourself someone worth hunting and let yourself be hunted and not necessarily caught, you may see you and your boyfriend get back together.

If You Wonder How to Win Your Love Back

By Ricardo d Argence

If you're looking around wondering how to win your love back, then you've no doubt found yourself in a situation where you're still in love with your ex, but your ex has walked out of the relationship.

The first part of your efforts to win your love back is to take a step back, cool off and pull yourself together. Trying to win back your ex immediately after the breakup is not a good idea. The wounds are still too fresh; you need to take a little time for yourself and get yourself together before you proceed.

Your first thought should always be to look after yourself. That means avoiding your ex and making no contact with them at all. It's not going to be easy to go from being in a relationship with your ex to making no contact with your ex, but it is vital that you do. Contacting your ex makes you weak and puts you in a negative and vulnerable position. Particularly if your ex has asked to be left alone.

Constantly calling or trying to see your ex means that you become less appealing to them. Exs hate needy and desperate, so back off if you want to win your love back.

Instead, work at sorting yourself our. As you focus on yourself make sure that you're not spending all your time on your own. It is very easy to find that when the love of your life walks out on you that you end up filling that space doing nothing but thinking about them. This is a surefire way to find yourself depressed and low and recovering from depression brings a whole other level of problems that you don't need.

Get out of the house and hang out with your friends and your family, no matter how much you want to be alone. Spending time with the people who care about you will take your mind off of the breakup and begin rebuilding your self esteem. Take up some activities which keep you busy and let you meet new people. When you keep yourself occupied and socially engaged, you'll get over the worst of the breakup much more quickly.

As you slowly get back on your feet after the shock of the breakup, you should then begin to think about any role that you might have played in the breakup of the relationship.

It is very easy to blame your ex for everything that has gone wrong, but remember, it takes two to make a relationship and two to break that relationship. So during this time away from your ex as you work on figuring out how to get back with them, make sure that you are honest with yourself and that you claim any part of the breakup that is down to you.

If there's something you did which caused the end of the relationship, then you need to not only accept responsibility for your actions but decide how you can change your behavior to avoid repeating your mistakes.

These are the first steps you'll need to take in trying to win your love back. Some of them may be difficult for you and even the opposite of what you would like to do, but if you want a chance at rekindling the relationship, you need to use these techniques.

Well what if it's the right thing to do and by doing it you move yourself closer to getting back together with your ex boyfriend? Would you do it then?
