Okay so you upset your woman and you do not know why. Women like all people are like little children. Every one of us cops an attitude when we do not get what we want. Women are no different. This paper is for men who have failed in meeting their romantic partners intimacy needs and now find themselves receiving the cold shoulder or being treated to crass comments. Your partner is rebelling against the little attention (if any) she is getting from you. The solution is to fir...

It is hard to imagine how we got to be so persecutory and anti-everything. I do not see a common shared decency in people. Everyday, I see examples of man’s inhumanity to man: and I not talking about what goes on in countries that are run by ruthless dictators. I am talking about the dirty looks, antagonistic comments, and right down viciousness of people. Where I am working right now there are two women that have taken upon themselves to cause me a lot of grief. They are always...

You have to be real. Regardless of the person you really are, in order to have success in romance you have to be a real person. Now I know that a lot has changed. People are more liberal about their sexual practices. Most people this day are having sex before marriage. I also know that most people are confused about intimacy and romance. The person you are with is very good at communicating their needs and interest. You may not wish to pay attention or listen to them. Howe...

This may sound phony. However, our first thought, when we wake up should be " Do I like myself?" We are going to go out and confront life and our spirit is what is going to get us through it. If we do not like ourselves, how are we going to make it? Well it is going to be rather hard. Every negative thought is going to keep weighing on you until you are completely frustrated and exhausted. Therefore, consider your true-life experience. How bad can your life really be. You h...

Psycho-Identity Complex By Mr. Jesus Lopez-Ledesma The following paper is my perception of the development of individual human nature. I see the creation of human nature as the result of the human constitution interacting with the environment. I define environment as all sources of information. In my formulation of my theory, I have identified several terms. These terms are Contemporary American Industrial Society, Psycho-Identity Complex, Functional Operationalism, Personal ...

I say that the first challenge is to give God His rightful place in our lives. Another challenge is for for women to stop thinking their it and don't have to do their part in a relationship. No man wants to spend the rest of his life having to justify the 101 criticisms that are lobbed at him every second of time He spends with his partner. Right now I would say that the major relationship problem is getting over our phoniness that we have an answer for everything. The fear of being f...

Every day we face a lot. There are thoughts of unresolved issues, work, relationships, groceries, bank visits, children, traffic, and many more demands and challenges. Through our day, we will contemplate life and place in life. For many people these thoughts will lead to depression and hopelessness. God has stopped being an important issue in many people’s life. Some people who have a relationship with God still suffer from a lack of direction and purpose. I th...

Young Marriage (revised 07/04/2004) Things have not changed. We are to do today as we did yesterday. Man and woman marry, live in love, create children, raise their children like good Christians, and make a contribution to society. Though we have spent the last thirty years in techno-delirium, the laws God established for us have not changed. Techno-delirium is the mental agitation from watching TV, listening to radio, and watching movies. These devices have presented to ...

Thinking differently By Jesus Lopez-Ledesma Page 1 7/3/2004 Given the chance, how many do you think would try to swindle you in order to take what you have? Here is a better question; why to do you think what you have in so valuable? I know I probably do not have the write to sound judgmental. I am not trying to be judgmental. Let me tell you who I am. I am a thirty something man who for the last fifteen years of his life has been in a sad struggle with life. Everythin...

Today’s lecture is on emotional manipulation. How many times have you experienced or seen a person get sad and disappointed when they didn’t get their way. Of those times how many times have you seen some one or may be even you give in to the person because of their emotional displays. Well more often than not even though people do not want to give in to a person they will give in if the person makes the right emotional displays. Now in all relationships there needs to be compromise. ...

A Message of Hope Identifying the problem is always a good step towards resolving the problem. In addition, being nice to our selves is also necessary. The majority of what we go through is the result of what we put ourselves through. We are the ones that put ourselves down and criticize ourselves harshly. Imagine what those continuous negative thoughts are doing to your spirit. Therefore, the message of hope is that we can always start taking care of ourselves. Why spe...

There comes a time that you realize that the political arena is hosting a circus. I have seen it for over thirty years and this is the first time I have been so disgusted by the foolishnes. There are real issues going on. These issues are of life and death. If we have learned anything from the last three years is that playing politics with serious issues leads to tragedy. For many years democrats and republicans sniped at each other over problems in the middle east. Through this chi...

Before people marry and share physical intimacy, they should have a true understanding of the other person. People want to be cared for. They also want attention. Romance is also expected. This requires more than just going through the motions. It requires knowing who the person you are sharing your life with is in totality. You have to know what makes them laugh, feel joy, happiness, pleasure, and satisfaction. Any one can hook up and/or marry. However, staying with the perso...

The beginning of the end occurred around the beginning of the 1950’s. Several things came out of this era. Television programs began to be part of American life. In addition, network administrators turned to sexual images in order to get an audience advertisers could sell to. The other part of the equation was women entering the work force. This is significant because parents working are neglecting their children. The transition from a father head of household to a two parent worki...
