Here's how to find a successful relationship:
-Meet someone who you have a few common interests with, but by all means DO NOT have everything in common with that person. You'll only grow bored of one another, as your life becomes mundane and routine. Find some interesting aspect of what she likes to do, and she'll likely oblige you and return the favor.
-Make sure they don't annoy you. People very very seldom change. If they annoy you now, they will annoy you in the future. In fact; take the most annoying trait about this person and multiply it times 10. That's how much this little quirk will bother you in 5-10 years.
-Be spontaneous. This goes for sex, vacations, dates, whatever. Once you begin to scedule you're life, you've already begun to remove the spark in the relationship, and have replaced it with a spot in your day planner.
-Live together for a year before getting married. You can never EVER know someone you haven't lived with for at least a year. Running off and getting married 2 weeks after meeting Jessica at Cousin Kendal's wedding is dumb. Sure people have been able to pull off long and happy eloping marriages, but people also win the mega lottery. Besides; if it'll work out after 2 weeks, it'll work out after 12 months. What's the rush?
-If you want kids and the other party doesn't [or vice versa] get out of the relationship, no matter how much you love them. You're only headed for a lifetime of resentment in the future, and it isn't fair to you or them. Once you know you're serious, children should be the first topic discussed.
-[This is for my boys] If she asks you if she looks fat in an outfit, tell her the TRUTH. Her initial response may be to get pissed and put you into a knuckle induced coma, but she'll be even more pissed if she discovers she indeed does look fat once your outing pics hit facebook. She may not want to hear that the $200 skirt she picked up isn't working out, but she'd rather hear that than be immortalized and tagged for all to see on some social networking site.
-[This is for the ladies] Every man needs 30mins to an hour a day killing people online. This keeps him from killing people in the real world. You can take the man out of the cave, but you can't take away his need to decimate god's creatures whether they be living or pixelated.
That about sums it up.edit on 25-5-2011 by Mactire because: (no reason given)
If you are curious, I could only say that I am part 5%-er, part Rastafari, Part Christian, Part Muslim, part Jehovah's witness.
I amalgamate all of those "spiritual" teachings with "science."
I have understood the truth about our existence, in my own way, since childhood
I have found pieces of the truth ALL throughout many religions.
My user name is nothing more than my birth signs amalgamated as one
My avatar is not representative of me either, I don't believe there has to be hate to have love or there has to be dark to have light.

while we may not agree on all points, I appreciate and enjoyed your comment. I would like to mention, however, that my interpretation of us being energy beings is not my sole understanding of what we are, it is simply all I used for this thread. I believe that we are a soul being, a soul made of loving conscious energy.That is how God created us.
Peace and One Love

Obviously, you two must be doing it right. Unfortunatley, most do it the wrong way and end up corrupting themselves.

I've read the Celestine Prophecies and it's accompanying books a few times. It was a great foundation to my understandings of energy, though only a starting point.
I recommend the book to anyone and everyone.
