Michael --
Your 1000 Questions for Couples was the absolutely best money I have
ever invested. It helped our relationship better than going out on a
1000 dates with my sweetheart (although we did bring the questions on
many of our dates). I kept seeing it advertised and kept putting it
off since we dont have a lot of money but I am sorry I waited so long.

SECRETS OF BLISSFUL RELATIONSHIPS
Love, Marriage and S.ex
by Michael Webb
http://www.50secrets.com/
The other day a friend was sharing with Athena and me that when her
first son was born they were so excited at the new adventure that they
did some things they later regretted. One of those things was to
begin feeding him solid foods when he was only two months old.
Practically every authority recommends that you wait until a baby is
at least five or six months until they begin eating foods. Their
digestive systems aren't typically mature enough to handle solids and
you greatly increase a child's chance of having allergies and other
problems if you introduce food too soon.
Now here is some advice many of you probably don't want to hear about
what you shouldn't do early on in your relationship and I'll probably
get a lot of nasty mail because of it. But I don't write on tough
issues to be popular. I write it to help people have blissful
relationships.
If you want to have a blissful relationship, don't ruin the chances by
introducing things into your relationship until you are ready for it.
I'm constantly bewildered when people can't figure out why they keep
having failed relationships when they always muddle them with physical
intimacy. It's fairly common for couples to kiss on their first date,
begin caressing soon afterwards and start a s.exual relationship
within a few weeks or months of knowing each other.
While I'm not going to tell you how long you should wait to begin
kissing, hugging and making non-s.exual contact, I'm going to boldly
state that our bodies and minds are not designed for s.exual
relationships until marriage. The two go hand and hand and to try to
separate them causes a lot of emotional turmoil in our relationships.
The average American has ten s.exual partners before they are married.
They either think each partner is "the one" or they think s.ex is so
wonderful they don't want to miss out on the opportunity. S.ex is
indeed wonderful and very special and saving it for the wedding night
is treating it as something special. Sharing it with practically
everyone you date makes it rather ordinary.
Here are just a few of the emotional problems pre-marital s.ex can
cause:
When you sleep with someone you aren't married to, they begin to get
concerned with how many other people you have slept with.
If you are willing to have s.ex with someone you aren't married to,
will you feel the same after you are married? How about your spouse?
One has a tendency to compare their partner with their previous
ones. Regret, jealousy, guilt, remorse and angst are just a few of
the emotions that s.ex before marriage will bring.
* Since s.exual relationships were designed for married couples, your
mind naturally begins pushing the relationship further along than
where you might be.
You might not even know the person you are sleeping with but the
s.exual act will naturally make you form an emotional attachment to
them. Many couples who really shouldn't be together are married
because a pre-marital s.exual relationship "bonded" them together when
they wouldn't have bonded without being physically intimate.
I've talked with quite a few people who waited to begin a s.exual
relationship until they were married and *none* of them have regretted
it. I've chatted with numerous people who began a s.exual
relationship before the wedding and practically all of them had
regrets.
While waiting to have s.ex until you are married won't guarantee a
blissful relationship, it will certainly cause your mate to honor and
respect you much more than if you didn't.
Love, marriage and s.ex -- let's keep them in that order.
Something to think about...
