Relationship Help: Questions You Should Ask

Questions healthy people discuss when new, significant relationships form

  1. Are we spiritually, financially, psychologically, and emotionally, sufficiently suited to each other?
  2. Do our long-held, individual, long-term, personal goals and personal dreams somewhat fit with each other?
  3. What do we each imagine is possible for us to achieve (service to the poor, overseas travel, learning foreign languages, learning new skills) within this relationship and potential marriage?
  4. How do we each perceive our individual and mutual responsibilities to our parents and extended families if we marry?
  5. Which of us is better with money? If we marry, how will we organize our money? Will we keep everything separate or will we pool all our resources? How will we decide what we buy, how we buy, and when we buy expensive, but necessary items needed by a new family? Which professional will we choose to help us with the wise use of our resources? [Do not enter a relationship with someone who is in excessive debt.]
  6. What does each of us think about religious observance? How will we decide on where and how we will worship?
  7. What help do you need from me in order that you may achieve all you have ever wanted to achieve with your life?

Sex Tips: Sharing Your Sexual Fantasies

lips.jpg

Everyone fantasizes. You do. I do. Your partner does. The thing about fantasies is knowing when it is safe to act them out and when they should just stay in your mind.

Women aren’t always comfortable with having fantasies. As a woman, you are often taught that thinking about sex is wrong and that “good girls” don’t want sex. This can be very confusing to women. It can also make it difficult to share your thoughts with your husband.

It is completely normal and natural for both men and women to fantasize about sex.

Some common fantasies are:

  • Having sex in public. If this is one of your fantasies, you need to be careful. You need to be aware that you can be arrested for public sex.
  • Having a threesome. This is a very common male fantasy. If both partners are open to it and neither one is the jealous type, it could work. BUT I want you to be aware that it can cause serious damage to a relationship. Women worry that their husband will want the other woman more than he wants her. Women also worry that the other woman’s body is better or that she is a better lover. If there are any insecurities, this isn’t a good idea.
  • Same sex fantasies. Same sex fantasies are very normal for both men and women. You may think about what it would feel like, how you would do it, etc. This doesn’t mean that you have any gender identity issues, it just means you are curious.

All in all, fantasies are normal. They are part of a healthy, happy sexual relationship. Feel free to share your fantasies with your partner and maybe they will come true.
