EMERGING CHRISTIANS

​


A person with an underdeveloped appreciation of self may have a difficult time with knowing the balances between giving and receiving. Boundaries are often blurred and expectations skewed by the failure to distinguish between balanced expectations and extreme ones.  All or nothing perspectives can be also be indicators that value within the relationship may be entirely derived from other oriented feedback. Low self esteem, and affirmation based confidence may be drivers rather than the a person maintaining a  healthy balance between personal interests and relating within the dynamic of couple interactions.

The Gift of Relationship - Giving Your Best Self 

What is the gift of relationship? What does it mean to be in one? These are among the many questions couples have as they ponder what their relationship means to each other. ​

Addiction and Relationships:

Drugs can alter the way you think. If you are using drugs and in a relationship you may be susceptible to a deviation in your perception of situations and mis-interpretation of interactions. These can be influenced by drug usage.

While the approach I am discussing today may not be a fail safe way to prevent miscommunication and other challenges influenced by drug usage, it may give you an approach towards managing your relationship's development more effectively and help to stabilize your experiences within your relationship.

As you are planning to have a stable life that you can share with another it is important to understand how addiction affects you.

Having trouble keeping friends after you've started your relationship?  Here are five ways that may help you to keep your friends.

1. Have confidence in the maturity of your friends and significant other. If your significant other and your friends both accept you then they will also accept the people that you have accepted in your life. 
2. Set the tone for your first meeting with honest discussions about feelings from both perspectives. Talk about your friends to your significant other. Equally, talk about your significant other to your friends.
