Not Another Broken Heart

It's official what Jan and I have been talking about for years,  men and women have different emotional make ups and we are fooling ourselves if we think we can play a man's game.  According to the Associate Press today "Women are 7 to 9 times more likely to suffer from "broken heart syndrome"  when sudden or prolonged stress like an emotional break-up or death causes overwhelming heartfailure or heart-attack like symptoms."

So why are so many women that we know play this game that they are emotionallly unattached and don't care about having a loving commited relationship.  They have "friends with benefits" what a bunch of cr...!  What are you doing having sex with a guy that won't even give you a commitment! I know women enjoy sex too but no one likes getting used.  If he cares for you at all he would want a commited relationship with you.

I have known women who have long term relationships with men that are married!  They fool themselves that the guy loves them and is going to leave his wife.  The bottom line is he likes to feed his ego and it makes him feel like a stud if he has two women.  He doesn't care much for his wife or his foolish lover!  It upsets me to see women being so foolish.

Women would rather be treated with love and respect and have a commited relationship. Pretending that casual sex is all you want is just fooling yourself.  Women have needs and one of their needs is to be in a loving commited relationship, we can have multiple partners but what are we looking for when we are looking for sex? Isn't it some kind of acceptance or love? It's not just about getting aroused.

Let's stop neglecting our needs.  It's better to be wanted than had!  Let's start promoting commited relationships and families that's where it's at, not meaningless sex.  It's time we grow up and realize that family is all we have and let's cherish it.  It's time women start gaining their power back and just say "NO,  I will not have sex with you!" not until I respect you and I know you respect me!

Family Fun! That's Healthy!

With our busy lives it's not always easy to find time to exercise.  It is important for the whole family to exercise and it can be fun!  In most families, spending time together means watching movies, T.V., having dinner together, playing board games etc..but not enough time exercising.  Here are some ways to incorporate exercise into family fun:

               --Take a karate class together
               --Take yoga class together
               --Play Wii fit together
               --Play tennis together
               --Go for family hike
               --Play catch
               --Play kickball
               -- Ski together
                --Take a swim class together
                --Go for a family bike ride
                --Skate together

These are just a few of the many fun activites that you can do together as a family. It is important to make exercise fun!  Although I have my family spend time cleaning the house as one of our family exercises.  It is sometimes fun!  We compete on who can do the best job in the quickest amount of time.

We all should be exercising at least 30 minutes a day, suprisingly many of us don't exercise that much and that's the bare minimum. Start by doing at least 2 family activities together a week.  This way you know your family is getting some activity in, and it is a great time for you to bond together as a family.  My husband never does any form of cardio exercise and it is a great health benefit for him.  I feel better knowing my whole family is getting healthy!
