...presently married, or those who are someday hoping to be. Emotional and sexual infidelity is the two most studied forms of infidelity. Infidelity is a sexual and/or emotional act engaged in by one person within a committed relationship. Reasons for me choosing this topic, was because i wanted to learn why would someone in a commited relationship who qoute on qoute "Love" their partner damage them emotionally. The thought of another person breaking up the “two halves that make a whole” is not even an issue. Think again, this world is not a great place, and often enough the most important person in ones life finds some reason to be unfaithful. Infidelity is a kind of thing that could leave a scar for all eternity. My question is "If you're so called happy" than why are you being unfaithful ?. Cheating seems like it is almost a guaranteed topic of discussion at least once a day. Whether you’re hearing a struggle of someone close to you, hearing about it on the television, or even telling your own personal experience, we hear about it way too often. As a young adult i honestly fear of adultry, i wouldnt want the man that im going to love in the future to cheat on me, i rather us not be together than being cheated on while in a commited relationship. In today’s society, infidelity is one of the leading causes of marital disruption and divorce. I mostly chosed this topic because it always caught my attention, in this generation infidelity is high either in a married relationship or...

...What does being in love actually mean? Lovig someone and being in love with someone often gets confused. In reality loving someone is a feeling everyone will feel. Whether it be with a person, place , or thing. Opinions on being in love have a variety of meanings. My opinion of being in love is caring about someone so much that your happiness doesnt matter, just theirs. The only thing that matters is that , that person is genuiely happy. Its a feeling that runs deep it conquers everyting, Nothing else matters. Just that person and yourself. The phrase often used to describe the stage where your starting to fall in love someone. Trust me, when your in this stage, you will know. You constantly think about that person and can't seems to get them off of your mind. Your heart skips a beat whenever you see them and everything little thing that person does, maybe just a "hi" can brighten up your day in any way possible. You will day dream about him or her, the last person you think before you go to sleep and your first thought when you wake up in the morning. And when someone hurts that person , you just want to kill and crush that person up. But when you know that you want to spend the rest of your life with this person, have a family with that person, that's when you know your actually "in love". Even when you guys get into fights, you still love them no matter what. And even if something went wrong, and you guys claims to let each others go, the truth is you can't let them go...

...She always told herself that nothing’s worth thinking negatively. “The way I see it is, life’s too short to live in doubt or sadness. Live how you want and be who you think you should.” Lilly is always living life with risks and change, she doesn’t want a boring sad life. Lilly loves to live in the moment, she never second guesses herself and when she wants to do something crazy she goes and does it, she never thinks about the consequences. “Skydiving, swimming with sharks, that’s what I want to do with my life. I have no fear in me, I can’t think of what can go wrong, only what could be amazing and life changing.” She never thought about what bad things could occur on a roller coaster, such as it breaking down or her falling out, she just went and did it. Lilly is the thinker of the impossible, she thinks in ways that everyone should. “My life isn’t perfect, I’ve had ups and downs, but when the downs occur I only think of ways it can go back up again and try not to stress out too much. We all could use that kind of positivity...

The first step is: To know the principles and misconceptions in Interpersonal Communications “Interpersonal communication is a social process, and we usually engage in interpersonal communication for one of three purposes: to meet personal needs; to learn about ourselves, other people, and the world; and to build and maintain relationships” (Sole, 2011).

... The poem “To my Dear and Loving Husband” by Anne Bradstreet is about love, precisely as it relates to the title – the speaker’s affection and deep true love for her husband. Throughout the poem, the speaker uses strong imagery and figurative language to describe the strength and power of her love which is unusual given the nature of the speaker who identifies herself as a devout Puritan. The speaker was living in her own world of love and nothing matters much more than her husband. The poem does not reflect at all the speaker’s Puritan values, which entails the implication that the speaker might not practice her Puritanism faithfully. Puritans were allowed to love one another provided that their love advocated purity and Christianity. The poem illustrates the first person point of view: that of the lyric “I”, who is closely involved in the feelings developed in the poem. The speaker adopted the tone of a young lover expressing her affection and devotion for her husband, the principal subject. The speaker also tries to make the reader feel her own feelings. The tone remained focused on the loving, caring attitude and throughout the poem; the description of the love felt intensifies, becoming boastful at times: “If ever wife was happy in a man, Compare with me, ye women, if you can”. (Bradstreet 150) According to the lyric “I”, she is the only woman who...

...several scenarios where there are a lot of reasons why a person should or should not get married in the first place. The first thing I remember they told us when they began the seminar is that marriage is not an event, it’s a lifetime commitment. To me the statement wasn’t really a surprise. Being a born-again Christian, I was exposed to the do’s and don’ts of having a relationship. In the seminar, they told us that building a relationship we should always consider marriage. That our reasoning and actions should always lead to a proper and God centered relationship that will eventually become marriage. It should come in at the right reason and at the right time. We should first be able to love ourselves before we love others. Seriously, how will we be able to love others when we are not able to love what God has made us to be? We cannot get into a relationship and expect your partner to patch the holes and shortcomings in your life....

...Life Well-Lived Experience Andini Effendi A dear friend couldn’t help to gasp when I uttered my plan on taking two years off from career to pursue master degree abroad. I remember her words vividly, “So you will leave your spot to someone younger, brighter and most probably hotter just like that?” I also remember what was my answer; it was simply “yes.” Don’t get me wrong I absolutely love my job. So much love as if I am married to my work. I am the living example of someone whose her passion becomes a profession. For me working it’s like playing. There were never a dull moment. But then I came to a point where I desired something more that would make me feel whole. It was education. I craved so much to broaden my knowledge, enriching experiences, and expanding my network. Moreover, I have a mental debt to my parents to study higher than undergraduate. Note: I agreed only until master degree. They can say goodbye to their dream of me taking a PhD. Just like “The Secret” book theory, I experienced the “Law of Attraction” with New York University. People who know me well knew I’ve always wanted to go back to the US for and only for NYU. (Sorry Columbia, you were not even on my list.) I pledged to myself on midnight before January 1, that 2011 is the year of school. And it has to be NYU. Why this year? After waking up at 2.45am 5 days a week and had to be on stand-by during my days off for the past 6 years, a break for school wont hurt. I also knew where my career...

...maiden, half knows that she is not verily that which he worships; and in the golden hour of friendship, we are surprised with shades of suspicion and unbelief. We doubt that we bestow on our hero the virtues in which he shines, and afterwards worship the form to which we have ascribed this divine inhabitation. In strictness, the soul does not respect men as it respects itself. In strict science all persons underlie the same condition of an infinite remoteness. Shall we fear to cool our love by mining for the metaphysical foundation of this Elysian temple? Shall I not be as real as the things I see? If I am, I shall not fear to know them for what they are. Their essence is not less beautiful than their appearance, though it needs finer organs for its apprehension Friends, such as we desire, are dreams and fables. But a sublime hope cheers ever the faithful heart, that elsewhere, in other regions of the universal power, souls are now acting, enduring, and daring, which can love us, and which we can love. We may congratulate ourselves that the period of nonage, of follies, of blunders, and of...

...The Color Purple by Alice Walker The Color Purple is a series of letters written mostly by the main character, Celie, to God. The plot takes place over a thirty year period. In the beginning Celie is a fourteen year old, African American girl who lives with her dying mother, father, and sister, Nettie, in Georgia. Celie’s father, Alfonso, rapes her and eventually she has two children by him, she believes the first one he killed, and the other he sold. Celie’s mother dies, and her father brings home a new wife. Nettie begins dating this man, Mr. __, but their father will not let him marry her. He claims that Nettie is smart and needs to stay in school and that she could be a teacher someday. Instead he says that Mr. __ can marry Celie, calling her ugly and dumb, but good with children. So Mr. __ takes his time to think about it, but since he really needed a mother for his children he agrees to marry her. He treats Celie like an object; he rapes and beats her, while his children boss her around like a slave. Nettie runs away from home to Celie and Mr. __’s house. Mr. __ compliments Nettie right in front of Celie, but Nettie passes the compliments on to her sister. Mr.__ then says that Nettie cannot stay in his house, because she rejects him. Mr. __’s sister, Kate, comes to visit and tells her to stand up for herself, and fight back. Mr. __ son, Harpo, struggles in his relationship with his wife Sophia. Harpo wants Sophia to obey him like Celie obeys Mr. __. Sophia is a strong...

...In the play, “A Doll’s House,” by Henrik Ibsen, we see a man and a woman who have a seemingly wonderful life together in their home with their children. Soon into the play, we learn the strength of her love that she has for her husband through her actions. She proves her love for Torvald by forcing her father’s signature on the promissory note, stating that she would pay back every penny that she owed from borrowing money to move her husband south to Italy when he fell ill. Throughout this story, it is no surprise that Nora is deeply in love with Torvald, considering how much she has done for him and to hide her secret to protect his “manhood.” However, Torvald sees Nora as nothing more than a trophy wife, just a puzzle piece to the picture of a perfect family. In my opinion, I prefer the original play’s ending, where Nora ends up leaving Torvald, her children, and her entire life behind to start a new one. She feels she has become too alienated from religion and law and that for years she has lived for her husband and now it’s time she live for herself. This ending, rather than the ending where Nora decides to stay, makes the play. The entire play is just building up to this moment, when Nora, who has done nothing but love Torvald, retaliates and stands up for herself. “…I was simply transferred from papa’s hands into yours. You arranged everything according to your own taste, and so I got the same taste as you-- or else I pretended to, I am really not quite sure which--I...

...Christina Wright Interview Paragraphs Cynthia Frazier-Jackson is one of the coolest seniors I know. She is also one of the bluntest people I know. For example, one time when my hair was out of place, she straight up told me that I needed to fix it. She doesn’t beat around the bush and she isn’t fake, she gives it to you like it is. Cynthia is one of those people who always smiles no matter what is going on. Even when she’s mad or upset about something, she doesn’t reminisce on the past. I strive to be like her in many ways. She is like a role-model to me and a lot of other students. That is why Cynthia is one of the coolest seniors I know. Tyleesha has been like a big sister to me. She looks out for me and makes sure I’m okay. Tyleesha said she was friend because she felt like we would get along really well. Well To be honest I’m happy she looks to me as a friend and not just another freshman. I look up to her as a role model because she represents good behavior and how I should act instead of me just acting crazy. She is my friend because we ended up in a class together and she seemed really easy to get along with, so we just became friends. I feel the best piece she has ever given me was to go for guys that care about you for you. I feel that Tyleesha has made my high school experience a whole lot better.

...The ministers of Matrimony are the man and woman themselves. They "marry" each other. The priest is just the Church's official witness, and he pronounces the nuptial blessing. The form of the sacrament of Marriage is the exchange of wedding vows. The matter of the sacrament of Marriage is the consummation of the marriage, when the two people enact those vows in that physical expression of love. Matrimony is a lifelong covenant in which a baptized man and a baptized woman make a permanent commitment to faithfully love each other and to cooperate in the procreation and education of children. The effects of the Sacrament of Matrimony are: * To sanctify the love of husband and wife * To give them grace to bear with each other's weaknesses; * To enable them to bring up their children in the fear and love of God. “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh, so then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” (Matt 19: 5, 6) The Church sees marriage as the divine plan. Jesus’ presence at the Wedding of Cana is a blessing upon marriage. At Cana, Jesus came to the rescue of a newly married couple who ran out of wine for their guests. Jesus revealed his glory by changing the water into wine. From then on, the Sacrament of marriage would be a sign of his presence. Jesus prohibited divorce because just like the covenantal...
