Love or Infatuation: How to Know

February 5th, 2008 by Aaron from FullTiltMarriage.com · 2 Comments

Infatuation is that magical time at the beginning of a relationship when everything is perfect.

Characteristics of Infatuation

During this time, you feel as though the two of you were made for each other. You think that God truly made this person for you. Everything about him is perfect and nothing ever bothers you.

You stay up for hours just talking and you never run out of things to say to each other. You can’t believe that you finally found your soul mate. All this time, you have been looking and you finally found him.

You know that it must be real love because you have never felt this way before. You have such love, admiration, and desire for this person. The sex is absolutely amazing, it is truly a spiritual connection.

The thing about infatuation is that it eventually wears off. The infatuation stage of love is caused by the chemicals in your body reacting to the chemicals in your partner’s body. This biological connection is what we call “chemistry“. The bigger the difference in your DNA from his, the stronger the chemistry.

Infatuation is Necessary

There is actually a very good reason to have the infatuation stage of love. This creates a strong foundation of love for the relationship. You create wonderful memories and good feelings that you can look back on fondly. This love will help you weather the ups and downs of a life together.

You need to remember that eventually the infatuation will wear off. This is when the real relationship begins. You will see your partner for who he really is. Now you can begin to create the life and love that you have always wanted.

Marriage Help: My Ex is Driving Me CRAZY

February 4th, 2008 by Aaron from FullTiltMarriage.com · Be First to Comment

“My ex-wife still tries to dominate me and interfere in my life. I have moved on and have a new woman. My teenage daughter and I have a very good relationship but whenever my ex-wife is around I am reminded why I divorced her. How do I get her to understand she is divorced and must get a life of her own?”

Your mutual connection, the daughter whom you co-parent, will remain integral to both of your lives. It will therefore be to the advantage of all concerned if you remain kind, forthright and strong in all of your dealings with the woman whom you once loved enough to marry.

Include your “new woman” in as many interactions with your ex-wife as possible. This will serve as a constant reminder to your ex-wife that you have, in fact, moved on.

As an aside, I’d suggest that while your ex-wife’s behavior continues to elicit a strong reaction from you, you may not have “moved on” as much as you might think.

You remain as powerless over your ex-wife as you were when you were yet married. I’d suggest you take time to evaluate the reasons she can so effectively get under your skin. What is it about you, that her behavior so gets to you?
