In a Relationship, Married or not......... || Meaning Of Marriage

This is something i found on my college site......published by a friend named 'Aayush Parmar'......its a really good story about the relationship problems faced between a husband and his wife.....and how they solve it.....This is one of the best stories ever read by me.....and the narrative style used by the writter is also admirable.....i also found an amazind video...to view this video click on the title above "In a Relationship, Married or not........."

 

           When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

           Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly.
She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?

           I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!

           With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company.
She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Jane so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.

           The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Jane.

           When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.

           In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.

           This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day.
She requested that every day for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.

           I told Jane about my wife's divorce conditions. . She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.

           My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mommy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outsidethe door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.

           On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.

           On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me.
On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Jane about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.

           She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.
          
           Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.

           Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mom out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.

           But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy.
           I drove to office.... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind...I walked upstairs. Jane opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Jane, I do not want the divorce anymore.

           She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Jane, I said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other anymore. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart.
           Jane seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away.

           At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.

           That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed - dead.
           My wife had been fighting CANCER for months and I was so busy with Jane to even notice. She knew that she would die soon and she wanted to save me from the whatever negative reaction from our son, in case we push thru with the divorce.-- At least, in the eyes of our son--- I'm a loving husband....

           The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!

If you don't share this, nothing will happen to you.

If you do, you just might save a marriage.
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

TRUTH BEHIND EMILY ROSE || Anneliese Michel's true story || truth behind THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE || The Exorcism of Anneliese Michel

Anneliese Michel
Born: September
21, 1952Birthplace: Klingenberg, Bavaria, GermanyDied: July 1, 1976
(cause of death: dehydration and malnourishment)

 

             Hello Friends.....This blog post is about a person named 'Anneliese Michel' better known as Emily Rose......we all have the movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) Starring Laura Linney, Tom Wilkinson, Jennifer Carpenter based on the true story of Anneliese Michel as detailed in the book "The Exorcism of Anneliese Michel" by Dr. Felicitas Goodman.....This is a  story of  a girl who was possessed by spirits/ghosts.....the movie had a lot of depth in it....but was all that was shown in the movie true....or was it a manipulation of the real story......Lets take a look at the real Questions facing her death.


"I know that we did the right thing because I saw the sign of Christ in her hands. She was bearing stigmata and that was a sign from God that we should exorcise the demons. She died to save other lost souls, to atone for their sins." - Anna Michel (Anneliese's mother, 2005) 

Questioning the Story:

When did Anneliese begin to experience strange symptoms?

Epilepsy may have been the
cause of Anneliese Michel's
demonic hallucinations.

          In 1968, when she was 17 and still in high school, Anneliese began to suffer from convulsions. Court findings have her experiencing her first epileptic attack in 1969. It was then that a neurologist at the Psychiatric Clinic Wurzburg diagnosed her with Grand Mal epilepsy. Soon, Anneliese started experiencing devilish hallucinations while praying. She also began to hear voices, which told her that she was damned. The court determined that by 1973 Anneliese was suffering from depression and considering suicide. In 1975, convinced that she was possessed, her parents gave up on the doctors from the psychiatric clinic. They chose to rely solely on the exorcisms for healing (washingtonpost.com). Anneliese's symptoms have since been compared with those of schizophrenia, and they may have responded to treatment (telegraph.co.uk).


Who first diagnosed Anneliese as being possessed?

           The first unofficial diagnosis was made by an older woman who accompanied Anneliese on a pilgrimage. She noticed that Anneliese avoided walking past a particular image of Jesus, and that she refused to drink water from a holy spring. The woman also claimed that Anneliese smelled hellishly bad (washingtonpost.com). An exorcist from a nearby town examined Anneliese and concluded that she was demonically possessed. After two failed requests, the rite of exorcism was finally granted by the Bishop.  
Was Tom Wilkinson's character of Father Moore based on a real person?

The movie's Father Moore
was based on Father Arnold
Renz and Pastor Ernst Alt.

          Tom Wilkinson's character was more a combination of two real-life people, Father Arnold Renz and Pastor Ernst Alt (shown at left). Both men were assigned by the Bishop of Wurzburg, Josef Stangl, to carry out "The Great Exorcism" on Anneliese Michel. The foundation for this ritual was the "Rituale Romanum", which at the time, was still a valid 17th century Cannon Law. Father Arnold Renz had been a former missionary in China, and Pastor Ernst Alt was a pastor in a nearby community. Together they carried out 67 rites of exorcism over a period of 10 months, with one or two exorcism sessions held each week. Some sessions lasted up
                                                                                    to four hours (moviesonline.ca).

Did Anneliese Michel really see the faces of demons on the people around her like Emily Rose did in the film?

           According to The Washington Post, as she grew more convinced that she was possessed, Anneliese began to see the faces of demons on the people and things around her.
Watch a Clip from the Film

What demons possessed Anneliese?

           Anneliese was convinced that she had been possessed by several demons, including Lucifer, Judas Iscariot, Nero, Cain, Hitler, and Fleischmann, a disgraced Frankish Priest from the 16th century. She also mentioned a few other damned souls who had manifested themselves through her. -moviesonline.ca


Did Anneliese's mother Anna support the making of the film?

           No. Anneliese's mother did not support the making of The Exorcism of Emily Rose. "I don't want to see the film and I don't know anything about it," Mrs. Michel said, who was at the time in her eighties. Anneliese's father Josef died six years prior to the film's release. -telegraph.co.uk

How many people were found guilty in Anneliese Michel's death?

Anneliese's parents and
the exorcists were found
guilty of negligence.

          In the 2005 film, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, only one of the characters, Father Richard Moore (Tom Wilkinson), was found guilty of negligent homicide surrounding the death of Emily Rose. In the real-life case of Anneliese Michel (pictured right), which took place in 1978, there were four defendants, not just one. They were Father Arnold Renz, Pastor Ernst Alt, and Anneliese Michel's parents, Josef and Anna. All four were found guilty of negligent homicide and sentenced to six months in prison, suspended with three years' probation. -washingtonpost.com


Is it possible that Anneliese was copying what she had seen in William Friedkin's 1973 film The Exorcist?

Anneliese's behavior was
similar to actress Linda

           Director William Friedkin's film The Exorcist was released in Germany in 1974, two years prior to the audio tapings of the exorcisms in which we hear Anneliese's recorded voice (listen below). Even though her voice is quite chilling, it bares a striking resemblance to the growling, barking, and inhuman voice of Linda Blair from Friedkin's film. This has caused some people to conclude that Anneliese was simply mimicking what she had seen in the film, if she had in fact seen the film. Upon its release in Germany, the movie created a sort of paranormal hysteria that swept the nation. European Psychiatrists reported an increase of obsessive ideas among their
                                                                   patients (moviesonline.ca). The movie however, does not provide explanation for the years prior to 1974, in which she was experiencing numerous other afflictions that she and those close to her had attributed to demonic possession.


What other disturbing things did Anneliese do?

           Anneliese carried out a number of highly disturbing actions. She licked her own urine off the floor. She ate flies, spiders, and coal. She bit off the head of a dead bird. In one instance, she crawled under a table and barked like a dog for two days. She could often be heard screaming through the walls for hours. Tearing off her clothes and urinating on the floor became a regular occurrence. -moviesonline.ca


Did the exorcisms cause her bodily harm?

The exorcisms took
a significant toll on
Anneliese's body

          Yes. Anneliese (pictured right) endured 67 rites of exorcism over a period of 10 months. Over time, the ligaments in her knees ruptured due to the 600 genuflections that she performed obsessively during each exorcism session. A genuflection is an act of reverence consisting of falling onto one or both knees (called a "double genuflection"). On June 30, 1976, during her last rite of exorcism before her death, too weak and emaciated to perform the genuflections on her own, Anneliese's parents stood and helped carry her through the motions. -moviesonline.ca

Was there a doctor present during the exorcisms as in the film?

Goodman based
her book on court
records and eye-
witness accounts

            No. Around Easter time of the year that she died, Anneliese began to refuse food and drink. Her convulsions returned with a greater ferocity. No doctors were called (time-proxy.yaga.com). During the trial, specialists claimed that if the four accused (Father Arnold Renz, Pastor Ernst Alt, and the parents) would have begun to force feed Anneliese a week before her death, then she would still be alive. One of Anneliese's sisters explained to the court during the 1978 trial that Anneliese did not want to go to a mental hospital where she would be drugged and forced to eat (moviesonline.ca).
           In her book, The Exorcism of Anneliese Michel, Felicitas D. Goodman embraces the possibility that Anneliese was not epileptic, and that the medication the doctors had given her to control her seizures only made her
                                              hallucinations worse.

Why did Anneliese Michel refuse to eat?

       She forced herself to fast because she believed that it would rid her of Satan's influence. At the time of her death, she weighed only 68 lbs (telegraph.co.uk). Prior to her death, she had spoke of dying to atone for the sins of the wayward youth and apostate priests of the modern church (washingtonpost.com). Anneliese is pictured on the right.


What did Anneliese technically die from?

Anneliese's gravesite in
Klingenberg Cemetery,
Germany.

            According to the autopsy, on July 1, 1976 Anneliese Michel succumbed to the effects of severe dehydration and malnourishment. At the time of her death, she was also suffering from Pneumonia and a high fever (1g3.com). She was buried next to her illegitimate sister Martha at the outer edges of the cemetery (view here). This area is normally reserved for illegitimate children and suicides (telegraph.co.uk).



What were Anneliese Michel's last words?

           Weak and on the verge of death, she spoke her last known words on the day before she died. She told her exorcists "Beg for Absolution". To her mother Anna, she said, "Mother, I'm afraid." -moviesonline.ca


Had Anneliese been a deeply religious person prior to 'being possessed'?    

 

         Yes. Anneliese and her three sisters were raised in a strict Catholic family. Her father Josef had considered training as a priest and three of her aunts were nuns.
          Four years before Anneliese was born, her mother gave birth to an illegitimate daughter, Martha. As a result, her mother suffered great shame and was forced to wear a black veil on her wedding day. When Anneliese was a child, her mother encouraged her to atone for the sins of illegitimacy through fervent devotion. When Anneliese's sister Martha died at the age of eight during an operation to remove a kidney tumor, this likely only increased Anneliese's desire to do penance for her mother (telegraph.co.uk).

            As she grew older, Anneliese continued to suffer for the sins of others. When she was a teenager, Anneliese slept on a bare stone floor to atone for the sins of wayward priests and drug addicts, who could be observed sleeping on the hard ground at the local train station (washingtonpost.com). In college at West Germany's University of Würzburg, she hung pictures of saints on her dorm room walls, kept a holy-water font near the door, and regularly prayed the Rosary (time-proxy.yaga.com). As stated earlier, even close to her death she spoke of dying to atone for the sins of the wayward youth and renegade priests.

Is it possible that the priests who performed the exorcisms provided Anneliese with the contents of her psychotic behavior?

"Doctrinaire Induction"
theorizes that it was the
exorcists who provided
Anneliese with the basis
for her demonic behavior

          Some experts believe that this is possible. Psychiatrists who testified during the trial spoke about the "Doctrinaire Induction", which in relation to Anneliese explains that she accepted her behavior as a form of demonic possession, mainly because the exorcists introduced much of the idea to her and reinforced it with each exorcism (moviesonline.ca). In 1984, German bishops and theologians petitioned Rome to change the exorcism rite. They concluded that speaking directly or "imperatively" to the Devil, that is, "I command thee, unclean spirit . . . " only confirms to the patient that they are without a
                                                                     doubt possessed (moviesonline.ca).

In the film, did the director try to provide an answer as to whether or not she was truly possessed?           No. In an interview, Scott Derrickson responded to this question by saying, "We tried to put at the center of the movie the question of why did she die, and what is the truth behind this phenomenon? And ultimately to not answer it." Screenwriter Paul Harris Boardman went on to explain, "We have a Scully-Mulder approach to this material, with me being a little more the skeptic and Scott the believer. We approach it and try to be very fair and even-handed to both points of view, to our points of view. That's how we approach it analytically." -hollywoodgothique.bravejournal.com

I read that the body of Anneliese Michel was exhumed after her death, is this true?            Yes. On February 25, 1978, almost two years after her death, the deceased body of Anneliese Michel was dug up and moved to a new oak-coffin lined with tin. Her parents' desire to move her from the cheap coffin in which she was buried was allegedly used as an excuse to exhume her body. Instead, they were acting on a message received from a Carmelite nun from the district of Allgaeu in southern Bavaria. The nun had told the parents that she had a vision that their daughter's body was still intact. Official reports state that the body showed consistent deterioration. Photos of the exhumed body were never released, and Anneliese's parents were prohibited from witnessing the exhumation. From a distance, they could however see her grave from the bedroom of their home, where her mother still lives today. -wikipedia.org

Is it true that another movie is being made about the exorcism of Anneliese Michel?

          Yes. A German language film about Anneliese Michel called Requiem, directed by Hans-Christian Schmid, was released in 2006. It is much more a drama than a horror film, and it supposedly follows the real story of Anneliese Michel more closely. -imdb.com
Watch the Requiem movie trailer.




Listen to the Voice of Anneliese Michel:

          At the time of the release of The Exorcism of Emily Rose, a German web site posted audio in which we hear the real Anneliese Michel's voice during one of the exorcisms. The web site obtained the audio from one of the 43 taped recordings made during the 67 rites of exorcism that Anneliese endured for a period of 10 months. The commentators in the first clip can be heard talking about the demons Cain, Nero, and Hitler, who Anneliese believed had taken over her body.

SINGLE :'D

         Hello  Friends ....... there  are  a  lot  of  things  that  come  in  our  minds  as  we  get  older ..... being  in  college ,  one  of  the  things  that  comes  in  our  mind  is  BEING  SINGLE ......but  after a  lot  of  thought  i  came  to  a  conclusion  that  'being  single  is  not  that  bad ' .....there  are  many  advantages  of  being  single.....and  here  are  some  of  those. 
 
 Advantages  of  Being  Single

So  many  people  are  depressed ,  sad  and  lonely  because  they  don’t  have  somebody .

They  think  that  once  they  finally  find  someone ,  they  will  be  happy --  and  they  will  have  no  troubles .  Well  I’m  writing  this  for  all  of  you  people  today .

It  may  be  true  that  having  someone  can  help  add  to  your  happiness  and fulfillment .  I  believe  that  can  occur  and  does  occur  when  you  find  the  right  person  that  suits  you.

But  I  can  also  recall  a  lot  of  people  that  are  in  relationships  and  they  are  miserable .  They’re  not  happy  at  all .  In  fact ,  it’s  like  they  are  in  prison .  Many  of  them  are  trapped  and  they’d  give  anything  to  be  single .  They’d  give  anything  to  be  in  your  shoes  today .

This  site  gives  guys  great  tips  for  picking  up  and  meeting  women .  Yes ,  there  are  advantages  of  being  in  a  relationship ,  but  I  want  to  point  out  to  you  today  some  of  the  great  advantages  of  being  single .

- You  can  do  whatever  you  want ,  whenever  you  want .  No  questions  asked .  No  guilt  about  doing  it  either .  You  don’t  have  to  make  excuses .  You  don’t  have  to  call  your  girlfriend  to  check  in  on  her  or  ask  her  permission  to  go  somewhere .

-  You  can  fool  around  with  as  many  women  as  you  want .

-  You  can  have  a  lot  of  fun .

-  You  can  go  out  to  places  that  you  otherwise  couldn’t  go  to  if  you  had  a  girlfriend .

-  You  can  have  fun  and  spend  time  with  your  friends .  A  lot  of  married  people  don’t  have  a  lot  of  time  to  spend  with  their  friends  anymore .

-  You  can  really  focus  on  your  career ,  education ,  fitness ,  and  goals .

-  You  have  time  to  improve  yourself  and  become  a  better  person .

-  You  are  free .  You  don’t  have  anything  holding  you  down  or  back .

-  You  don’t  have  to  listen  to  any  bitching .

So  the  next  time  you  start  to  get  down  because  you’re  not  dating  someone ,  remember  to  enjoy  the  time  that  you  are  single .  Before  long  you’ll  be  married  and  settled  down .  Enjoy  it  while  you  can .

Another  thing ,  once  you  do  find  someone  to  settle  down  with ,  know  that  if  you  don’t  bring  happiness  into  the  relationship ,  you  will  never  be  happy  in  that  relationship  in  the  long  run .  Don’t  depend  on  someone  else  for  your  happiness  --  that  is  no  way  to  live .

 Only  you  are  ultimately  responsible  for  your  own  happiness .



Q>Being  Single  and  Happy ,  is  It  Possible ?

-->Is  it  possible  to  be  single  and  happy ?  There  are  so  many  myths  about  being  single  all  over  the  internet  and  elsewhere  that  many  tend  to  think  that  being  single  means  being  lonely ,  depressed  or  being  a  failure .  But  it  is  not  so .  In  fact  there  are  a  lot  of  benefits  or  advantages  of  being  single  including  cheaper  living ,  freedom  from  responsibilities ,  job  growth  opportunities  and  lack of   stress  that  come  with  relationships .  Being  single  may  give  you  more  time  for  hobbies ,  education  and  career ,  travels  and  relaxation ,  being  with  friends  and  family  etc .

            Is  it  possible  to  be  single  and  happy ?  There  are  so  many  myths  about  being  single  all  over  the  internet  and  elsewhere  that  many  tend  to  think  that  being  single  means  being  lonely ,  depressed  or being  a failure .  But  it  is  not  so .  In  fact  there  are  a  lot  of  benefits  or  advantages  of  being  single  including  cheaper  living  ,  freedom  from  responsibilities ,  job  growth  opportunities  and  lack  of  stress  that  come  with  relationships .  Being  single  may  give  you  more  time  for  hobbies ,  education  and  career ,  travels  and  relaxation ,  being  with  friends  and  family  etc .  Here  are  14  reasons  why being  a  Single  is  better .

   1 .   Responsibilities :  Relationships  demand  a  certain  amount  of  responsibility  to  be  shouldered .  And  many  young  people  feel  better  without  it .  You  can  set  your  own  schedule .  You  have  all  the  independence  you  need  or  give  explanations  about  anything .

    2 .  More  freedom  and  independence :  Singleness  brings  a  degree  of  freedom .  Being  single  means  you  have  more  freedom .  You  can  be  more  flexible  with  your  time  and  money .  Your  time  and  money  is  your  own  and  nobody  would  nag  you  even  if  you  blow  up  your  entire  salary  or  allowance  by  shopping  in  a  single  day  or  going  to  places  you  want  to .  You  are  not  answerable  to  any  one .  If  you  want  to  sit  on  the  couch  wearing  old  T - shirt  and  shorts  or  eat  popcorn  for  dinner  it  is  entirely  your  choice .

    3 .  Hobbies  and  Interests :  Mostly  your  hobbies ,  likings  and  interests  tend  to  suffer  when  you  are  in  a  serious  relationship .

    4 .  Appearance :  One  can  often  indulge  in  a  non  groomed  look  if  you  are  not  seeing  someone  on  a  regular  basis .  No  need   to  be  conscious  about  sweatpants  or  prickly  leg  hair  as  long  as  there  is  no  one  around  to  see  you .

    5 .  Indulgence :  No  need  to  worry  when  you  want  to  indulge  yourself  in  what  your  heart  desires  without  being  conscious  someone  is  watching .  You  can  drink  juice  right  from  the  container  or  have  a  full  bowl  of  ice  cream  without  regrets .

    6 .  Low  Living  Cost :  Being  single  reduces  the  overall  cost  of  living .  You  spend  less  on  utilities ,  food ,  etc  and  can  save  more .  You  don’t  have  to  worry  about  expensive  gifts  to  please  your  boyfriend  or  girlfriend  or  expensive  meals  at  restaurant  or  movie  tickets .  You  can  even  eat  popcorn  for  dinner  and  nobody  is  going  to  accuse  you .

   7 .  Education :  Education  suffers  in  a  major  way  when  you  are  in  a  relationship .  By  being  single  one  can  focus  on  studies  and  career  goals  in  a  better  manner  without  being  distracted .

    8 .  Going  out  of  City :  If  you  want  to  move  out  of  the  city  for  Career  or  Studies  it  is  comparatively  easily  if  you  are  not  in  a  relationship .

    9 .  Career :  Careers  suffer  in  a  major  way  too  when  you  are  in  a  relationship .  Job  growth  potential  is  an  advantage  in  being  single .  One  does  not  have  to  worry  about  boyfriend  waiting  to  take  you  out ,  children  waiting  to  be  picked  up  from  school  or  spouse  waiting  at  home  or  checking  on  you  frequently  if  you  are  single .

   10 .  Stress :  Frequent  quarrels  and  pressures  are  part  of  most  relationships  which  brings  a  considerable  amount  of  stress  which  can  create  all  types  of  problems  for  your  health .

   11 .  Flirting :  You  can  do  whatever  you  want  and  whenever  you  want  with  no  questions  asked  and  without  any  guilt  about  doing  it  either .  You  can  fool  around  with  as  many  women  as  you  want  or  ogle  at  someone  on  the  street .

   12 .  Better  friendships  and  Social  life :  You  are  not  answerable  to  anyone  for  your  time  or  likings .  You  don’t  need  to  please  another  person  or  his  family .  Skip  the  Gym  or  Eat  popcorn  for  dinner  it  is  your  wish .  You  do  not  need  to  worry  about  whether  your  partner  approves  of  your  friends .  You  can  meet  your  friends  whenever  you  want  without  worrying  about  someone  else’s  schedule .

   13 .  No  Sharing :  No  sharing  of  blankets  or  bear  with  a  snoring  partner  or  his  demands .  You  don’t  have  to  live  up  to  your  partners  or  his  families  expectations .  Moreover ,  you  don’t  need  to  cheer  up  anyone  or  pick  up  socks  or  underwear  that  isn’t  yours .  In  short ,  you  do  not  have  to  tolerate  other  persons  annoying  habits .  The  only  disgusting  habits  you’ll  have  to  put  up  with  are  your  own .

   14 .  Discovering  Yourself :  You  can  have  fun  and  spend  time  with  your  friends .  You  get  to  meet  new  people  and  discover  new  activities  you  might  not  have  otherwise  tried .  You  can  go  out  to  places  that  you  otherwise  couldn’t  go  to  if  you  are  in  a  relationship .  When  in  relationship  one  often  says  or  doing  things  you  normally  wouldn’t  do .  Being  single  allows  you  to  be  yourself  and  develop  who  you  really  are .  Being  single  also  means  that  you  won’t  have  to  worry  about  going  through  relationship  breakups  or  stress .  
            When  you're  dating  someone ,  your  time  and  money  are  spent  cultivating  that  relationship .  Male  or  female ,  regardless  of  who  pays  for  dates ,  being  in  a  romantic  partnership  can  be  very  expensive .  Men  and  women  seem  to  feel  the  need  to  make  themselves  beautiful  with  cosmetic  products ,  new  clothing ,  even  fancy  cars  or  apartments  in  order  to  make  themselves  more  attractive  to  their  partner .  This  is  all  well  and  good ,  but  if  you  don't  make  much  money  or  are  between  jobs ,  a  romance  can  literally  bankrupt  you .  An  advantage  of  being  single  is  enjoying  the  frugal  life  you  can  live .  Women  --  skimp  on  the  makeup  and  perfume .  It  can  be  a  very  freeing  experience  to  go  out  of  your  house  " just  as  you  are " .  Men  --  take  yourSELF  out  for  a  steak  dinner .  Even  if  you  order  a  more  expensive  cut  of  meat  or  a  slightly  nicer  bottle  of  wine ,  the  bill  will  still  be  half  has  expensive  as  it  would  be  with  a  partner .  Take  the  money  you  save  as  a  single  person  and  stick  it  in  a  savings  account  or  a  financial  investment  --  you'll  need  it  as  soon  as  you  get  involved  in  your  next  romance .
 

 Benefits  Of  Being  Single  

            One of  the  benefits  of  being  single  is  independence .  Quite  often ,  boyfriends  and  girlfriends  feel  the  need  to  be  accountable  to  their  partner  for  their  actions .  How  many  times  have  you  had  to  call  and  update  your  lover  as  to  your  whereabouts ,  your  plans  for  the  evening ,  or  just  exactly  where  you  were  last  night ?  While  this  need  to  be  in  constant  contact  with  a  lover  is  not  healthy ,  it  is  very  common .  Having  responsability  for  your  self  is  a  good  benefit  of  being  single  --  no  one  will  call  and  want  to  know  why  you  spent  six  hours  at  the  bar  throwing  darts ,  or  why  you  and  your  girlfriends  walked  around  the  mall  for  the  entire  afternoon .  In  short  --  you  can  do  what  you  want ,  when  you  want  to  do  it ,  without  having  to  fess  up  to  anyone  later .  There's  no  asking  for  permission ,  no  guilt  to  deal  with  later ,  and  no  feelings  of  remorse  to  ruin  your  night  out  with  friends .  We  all  love  the  responsibilities  that  come  with  love ,  but  enjoy  the  benefits ,  being  single  can  be  a  time  for  you  to  enjoy  your  self .  There  will  be  plenty  of  time  for  guilt  later .

          One  of  the  first  things  sacrificed  when  you  enter  into  a  romanctic  relationship  is  time  spent  with  your  friends .  Think  back  to  your  last  serious  love  affair  --  how  many  of  your  friends  complained  that  they  didn't  see  you  as  much  anymore ,  or  that  you  were  spending  all  your  time  with  your  new  lover ?  Being  single  means  having  all  the  time  in  the  world  to  develop  those  important  friendships  that  will  be  with  you  your  whole  life .  A  girlfriend  or  boyfriend  may  come  and  go ,  but  your  friends  will  always  be  there  for  you ,  and  using  your  single  time  to  cultivate  their  friendships  will  pay  off  in  dividends  the  next  time  your  heart  gets  broken .
 

 Enjoy  The  Single  Life  
           By  examining  some  of  the  drawback  of  being  in  a  relationship  you  can  learn  to  enjoy  the  single  life .  Another  aspect  of  a  relationship  is  that  you  lose  time  to  develop  your  own  interests  and  well  being .  It  seems  that  every  time  I  get  into  a  relationship ,  I  work  out  less ,  I  read  less ,  and  self  improvement  gets  put  on  the  back  burner ,  or  even  worse ,  gets  tossed  out  the  window  altogether .  If  you  find  yourself  suddenly  single ,  take  the  time  that  you  would  normally  spend  with  a  lover  and  use  it  to  make  yourself  even  more  attractive .  Take  a  college  course ,  read  that  long  novel  you've  been  staring  at  in  the  bookstore  window ,  do  some  yoga ,  go  on  a  diet  --  anything  to  make  yourself  a  better  person .  Not  only  will  you  be  better  of  for  it ,  but  you  may  find  that  this  increase  in  your  charisma  will  attract  potential  future  partners .  Working  out ,  increasing  your  brain  power ,  etc .  will  only  make  you  more   attractive  to  potential  mates .  Of  course ,  this  means  that  eventually  you'll  give  up  these  new  pursuits  --  but  the  improvement  you  gain  while  single  can't  be  taken  away .  Being  single  is  the  perfect  time  to  work  on  the  most  important  person  in  your  life :  you .

             Being  single  doesn't  have  to  mean  being  lonely .  Casual  dating  is  a  vital  part  of  your  development  --  believe  it  or  not ,  it  is  possible  to  date  without  the  serious  commitments  that  get  in  the  way  of  your  life .  In  other  words ,  being  single  frees  you  up  to  date  a  variety  of  people .  You  might  consider  dating  someone  you  would  never  think  of  as  a  " partner "  --  you  never  know  what  you  can  learn  about  yourself  and  other  people  by  expanding  your  horizons .  By  taking  a  variety  of  people  out  on  casual  dates ,  you'll  expand  your  future  pool  of  romantic  partners ,  and  at  very  least  you  can  make  some  new  friends .  Dating  new  people  also  opens  up  new  activities ,  things  you  may  have  never  tried  or   even  considered .  I  once  went  on  a  casual  date  with  a  girl  from  Ethiopia  who  wanted  to  take  me  to  an  authentic  Ethiopian  restaurant .  This  is  not  a  type  of  food  I  would  normally  seek  out ,  but  I  found  out  that  I  LOVE  Ethiopian  food .  I  now  seek  out  Ethiopian  restaurants   in  every  city  I  visit .  This  is  just  one  small  example  --  perhaps  you'll  take  a  very  adventurous  friend  out  on  a  date ,  and  he  or  she  will  want  to  go  sky  diving  or  take  a  hot  air  balloon  ride .  The  adrenalin  rush  will  not  only  increase  the  sparks  between  the  two  of  you ,  but  its  good  for  your  mental  health  and  well  being .  Being  single  doesn't  have  to  mean  being  lonely  --  it  can  simply  mean  a  wider  scope  of  potential  partners .
 
            Last  but  not  least  another  advantage  of  being  single  is  that  it's  a  million  times  less  stressful  than  being  in  a  serious  relationship .  Many  of  our  relationships  cause  stress ,  and  stress  is  just  plain  awful  for  our  physical  and  mental  health ,  causing  depression ,  changes  in  blood  pressure ,  a  weakened  immune  system ,  and  all  sorts  of  potential  nasty  side  effects .  The  single  life  is  a  relatively  stress  free  life .  You  can  enjoy  your  time  alone ,  lounge  around  the  house  naked ,  take  part  in  your  favorite  activities  without  wondering  if  your  partner  is  enjoying  it ,  and  just  generally  relax .  People  pay  good  money  to  therapists  and  gyms  to  avoid  stress ,  when  simply  living  the  single  life  can  do  much  to  relieve  stress .
 
             There  is  nothing  wrong  with  having  a  serious  romantic  partner .  In  fact ,  I  firmly  believe  that  healthy  relationships  are  the  greatest  gifts  we  can  give  ourselves .  But  its  just  as  important  to  recognize  when  we  need  to  be  single ,  and  to  acknowledge  the  positive  side  of  the  single  life .  The  next  time  you  find  yourself  " alone "  consider  this  --  you're  never  alone  if  you've  got  yourself ,  and  being  single  can  be  the  best  way  to  really  learn  who  you  are .  So  cheer  up  --  all  is  not  lost  just  because  you  don't  have  a  boyfriend  or  girlfriend .  Now  --  I'm  off  to  go  bowling  with  my  buddies ,  but  first  I  have  to  call  my  girlfriend  and  make  sure  its  okay .  Man ,  this  single  life  is  looking  better  and  better  all  the  time ...
