Attend a BLISS Seminar and Create Relationships That Win!

Happy couple

When you met your spouse, you were head-over-heels in love, your stomach was full of butterflies; you couldn’t eat or sleep. Somewhere between then and now, something changed. Who knew it wouldn’t last?

Nothing in life is really what it seems to be. It is relative to what we think it is. Changing the way we think helps us shift our life experience, get the emotion back and achieve winning relationships – that’s BLISS.

The BLISS seminars offer an innovative, entertaining, multi-media approach that helps people look inward at their behaviors, shift their thinking and fine-tune their technique in ways that create winning marriages and relationships. All without having to learn a whole new set of skills.

The 6 Big Mistakes in Parenting - Mistake #6

Mistake 6: PROTECT or PREPARE

There is a fine line between protecting your children from the vicissitudes and dangers of life, and creating an illusion that they don't exist.

The truth is, the home should be a cocoon, a protective place from the harshness of the world.  But that doesn't mean, you should create a fiction that life is what you would like it to be.

Keep this in mind: disappointment is worse than unhappiness.  If you give your children illusions of life that they will later be disappointed with, you are setting them up for a crisis that need not be.

You can protect your children AND prepare them.  But if your protecting incorporates a fairy tale version of life, you will achieve neither.

Married to a Water Mark

Very few marriages can escape the nagging feeling that this was a lot more fun before we were married.  If I had a dollar for every married person who felt this way, I could pay off the national debt and still have money over to fill up the car with gas (it doesn't have a big tank).

The reason is simple, when we were dating we ignored the bad stuff, and judged our intended on the basis of their best behavior so far.  So when junk happens, that high water mark comes to mind, and we overlook the fact his mother drives us crazy.

After marriage, the space-time continuum gets messed up and we inverse ourselves (don't ask me how).

Now, we judge our spouse on the basis of the worst behavior we have experienced.  Now, anything good is dismissed and "The Incident" (we all have a few) is the new high water mark.  No matter that "The Incident" happened last week or 10 years ago.  

There are 3 conclusions I guess you could draw:

1)  Don't get married.....  wrong.
