Download or read book Managing a Long Distance Relationship written by Joy Deborah Adewuyi and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people repel long-distance love relationships for several reasons, one of which emanates from the popular cliché 'out of sight is out of mind'. The fears of uncertainties and concerns about the low likelihood of success long-distance relationships are further amplified by tales of heartbreaks or unpleasant experiences shared by couples in long-distance relationships. Although it is advisable that couples guide against long-distance separation in their relationship, the demands of life sometimes present situations where temporal geographical separations become inevitable for couples. Hence, there is a need to help couples overcome setbacks and other challenges associated with long distance, and equip them with pragmatic principles and strategies to grow in love and intimacy while going through such phases. Having personally encountered the highs and lows of long-distance relationship, our goal is to help other long-distance relationship couples to 'stay in mind while they are temporarily out of sight'. This book is directed at helping couples in long-distance relationships to successfully navigate the hurdles and challenges peculiar to the journey.Many people think that love is all that matters. We thought so too, but realized along the path that although love is important, love is helpless when it lacks the requisite knowledge. Love without knowledge is helpless.Just like a plant obtains its nourishment for survival and sustenance, relationships too need nourishment. Many relationships, which started with promising hopes and great energy, started declining and withering when long-distance sets in. This is a common case of many great friendships that started off on campus, but gradually collapsed after graduation. Our long-distance relationship (LDR) experience has taught us that a good relationship, either long-distance or short, needs some essential elements, of which understanding is also non-negotiable. I usually tease my wife that our courtship qualifies for a certificate degree in Long-Distance Relationship (LDR). First, it was a four-year long courtship (not the longest out there though), and was long-distance for the most part. As you would discover in the course of this book, about 90% of our courtship period was long-distance. My first proposal to Joy was done over a phone call and a follow-up love letter (email actually), and our traditional wedding was done on Skype because we were on different continents when the time was ripe for the wedding. Despite the ups and downs and the emotional hysteresis in our long-distance relationship, we sailed successfully and anchored our ship at the conjugal bliss border on the fourth year of courtship.

Download or read book The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F ck written by Mark Manson and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller Over 10 million copies sold In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

Download or read book Maintaining Relationships Through Communication written by Daniel J. Canary and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-01-30 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relational maintenance provides a rallying point for those seeking to discover the behaviors that individuals utilize to sustain their personal relationships. Theoretical models, research programs, and specific studies have examined how people in a variety of close relationships choose to define and maintain those relationships. In addition, relational maintenance turns our attention to communicative processes that help people sustain their close relationships. In this collection, editors Daniel J. Canary and Marianne Dainton focus on the communicative processes critical to the maintenance and enhancement of personal relationships. The volume considers variations in maintaining different types of personal relationships; structural constraints on relationship maintenance; and cultural variations in relational maintenance. Contributions to the volume cover a broad range of relational types, including romantic relationships, family relationships, long-distance relationships, workplace relationships, and Gay and Lesbian relationships, among others. Maintaining Relationships Through Communication: Relational, Contextual, and Cultural Variations synthesizes current research in relationship maintenance, emphasizes the ways that behaviors vary in their maintenance functions across relational contexts, discusses alternative explanations for maintaining relationships, and presents avenues for future research. As such, it is intended for students and scholars studying interpersonal communication and personal relationships.

Book excerpt: Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.

This book was released on 101-01-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The parting of the ways is inevitable in life and during the period between teen years and adulthood is even more likely due to the constraints of university choices. Other reasons why there may be long distance relationships is because not every part of the world has the job availability and often people go away from home to work for a while, to gain the extra experience that they need in order to jump up the ladder in their own hometowns.

This book was released on 2017-07-16 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything would be fine if we lived in the same town/state/country, is the common reason many men and women give for a long distance relationship not working out. Yes, distance can put an enormous strain on a relationship, but claiming that "distance" is the only reason a relationship didn't work out, or cannot work is putting your hands over your ears and shouting, "Land" because the truth is, it's too much to handle. I've met many men and women who won't try long distance relationships because according to them "long distance relationships just don't work." That simply isn't true! Long distance relationships Can and do work if the two individuals involved want it to. In my opinion, the question is not "do long distance relationships work?" But rather "Do both of you want to make it work?" If you both want to make it work, distance is just another obstacle that two people who truly love each other can easily overcome if they really want to. These simple to follow tips will help your long distance relationship not only survive distance, they'll also help you lay a strong foundation for a relationship that is fun, fulfilling and successful last? The internet highway has changed the way we live and the way we love. It has changed the way we socialize, and it has also increased the likelihood of finding love over the internet. Conversations are easy to strike up with regularity, and it's easy to discover that you have strong feelings for someone who lives hundreds or thousands of miles away from you! Many people are choosing to have long distance relationships. Long distance relationships might feel wonderful at first. However, they come with their own set of unique challenges as well. Many couples are blind-sided by the impact a long distance relationship can have on their daily life. This person can now feel so close to you because of the internet and yet in reality, remain so far away. The paradox is weighty. The more prepared you are to handle the situation, the better equipped you both will be to make decisions along the way that will benefit you and your special someone, and possibly make it a safer and enjoyable experience.

Download or read book Relating Difficulty written by D. Charles Kirkpatrick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relating Difficulty offers insight into the nature of difficulty in relationships across a broad range of human experience. Whether dealing with in-laws or ex-spouses, long-distance relationships or power and status in the workplace, difficulty is an all too common feature of daily life. Relating Difficulty brings the academic understanding of relational processes to the everyday problems people face at home and at work. These essays represent a groundbreaking collection of the multidisciplinary conceptual and empirical work that currently exists on the topic. Along with issues such as chronic illness and money problems, contributors investigate contexts of relational difficulty ranging from everyday gossip, the workplace and shyness to more dangerous sexual “hookups” and partner abuse. Drawing on evidence presented in the volume, editors D. Charles Kirkpatrick, Steve Duck, and Megan K. Foley explain how relational problems do not emerge solely from individuals or even from the relationship itself. Instead, they arise from triangles of connection and negotiation between relational partners, contexts, and outsiders. The volume challenges the simple notion that relating difficulty is just about problems with "difficult people" and offers some genuinely novel insights into a familiar everyday experience. This exceptional volume is essential reading for practitioners, researchers and students of relationships across a wide range of disciplines as well as anyone wanting greater understanding of relational functioning in everyday life and at work.
