Masonic Bible – A Man Plucked Off His Shoe

“Now this was the manner in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his and gave it to his neighbor…” Ruth 4:7 (Masonic Bible)

During the ceremonies of the Entered Apprentice Degree, the candidate is instructed about the above-referenced passage of scripture from the Masonic Bible, which is meant to indicate both the confirming of a contract, as well as the commitment to fully perform the terms and conditions of that contract. In Freemasonry, this symbolism is intended to convey the sanctity of the contract made between the candidate and the Masonic institution when he assumes his vows. For the Israelite of Ruth’s era there was nothing more essential than shoes, or sandals without which men and women were compelled to walk across hot sands, dirt and rock. Consequently, giving a shoe to another person not only conveyed the importance of the commitment, but a sense that the person to whom the shoe was given was as important as the person giving it.

This symbolism is repeated throughout Masonry by way of different lessons, because it is the purpose of the Craft to ensure that each Mason appreciates the importance of his vows and promises. Entire charitable institutions rely upon the keeping of such commitments. Hospitals operated by Shriners would vanish if Masons suddenly decided it was unimportant to care for the helpless. Homes for the aged would no longer receive funding if groups of Masons turned their backs on the needs of others. Members of individual Masonic lodges would never experience random acts of kindness by their brethren if Masons concluded that self interest was more important than assisting others. It is the agreement, or covenant made by each Mason that guarantees that the world will experience the fruits of Masonic labor. Yet, as with other Masonic symbolism, there are also other esoteric lessons to be learned from the Masonic Bible scripture found in the book of Ruth.

“Now this was the manner in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing for to confirm all things; a man plucked off

his and gave it to his neighbor…”

Ruth 4:7

“Plucking off one’s shoe and giving it to another” also symbolizes redeeming and changing and is equally important to Masons. For those who regularly attend religious services and observe as the collection plate is passed, it is intriguing to note how often people toss in some change, a dollar or two, or perhaps nothing at all. To some simply having attended the service is sufficient enough, for it represents the sacrifice of time, if nothing more. Similarly, the Mason who works for a living has quite likely observed fellow employees voice support for the needy during holiday times, but how often does he observe real acts of charity – the giving of time, food, shelter and compassion? It is within this realm that redeeming and changing apply.

Theologians frequently remind their audiences about man’s original fall from God’s grace, commonly referred to within those circles as “original sin.” The villain here is temptation, about which much has previously been written. Temptation represents the transition from obedience to disobedience. The man who has given in to the temptations that have invaded his life is truly in need of redeeming and changing to recapture his original obedient nature. The Holy Writings offer us the allegory of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden to convey to us the importance attached to all men making an effort to subdue the passions and to keep them within due bounds toward all mankind.

In the Masonic Bible book of Genesis, Eve listened to the voice of the serpent, saw that the tree of knowledge was good for food and took and ate what she desired in complete contravention to God’s command. There is no greater symbolism of disobedience recorded anywhere in our Holy Writings, or elsewhere in any other traditional story. The voice of the serpent represents the living being whose intelligence is most advanced and whose consciousness is turned toward the horizontal, or material plane rather than the vertical, or spiritual plane. The intelligence of both Adam and Eve before the Fall was entirely vertical. Their eyes had not been opened to their own “nakedness” and they were conscious of everything vertical, or of God. After the Fall, their understanding about their condition changed radically. Suddenly aware of their nakedness, fig leaves were adjusted to cover the most private of human body parts and their entire consciousness was consumed with things related to the material plane.

Here, the serpent symbolizes the principle of power apart from God. The remainder of the histories and stories set forth in the Holy Writings relate to man’s journey back to the living God. Temples are erected in His name; prophets admonish generations to obey His laws; wars are waged in His cause; men suffer in obedience to His word; and, man searches for a messiah to deliver salvation. Along the way, man also discovers that the true principle of obedience is devotion without reserve to the sole voice from above. It is precisely at this juncture that Freemasonry generally steps aside to allow Masons and their families to seek their own route to salvation, for be it ever known to all men at all times and in every place that Freemasonry is not a religion.

Those who follow the Jewish faith find the way to redeeming and changing through the law of Moses, including the Ten Commandments. Buddhists travel the road of inner serenity, as do the Hindus, each seeking the peace within themselves that illuminates the soul. Christians resolve to accept the divinity of Jesus Christ. Moslems attempt to align themselves to the teachings of Mohammed and his descendants to ensure a proper place in the world of obedience to God. But what of the Mason who has not selected a formal religion to follow? If he does not adhere to a particular dogma, is his journey from the Fall back to obedience destined to fail? Freemasonry tells such a man that he will not fail, if he devotes himself without reserve to the sole voice from above – the voice of the Supreme Architect of the Universe.

All human existence is about choices – the choice to live in the light, as well as the choice to live in darkness. Mankind is offered a plethora of religious doctrine from which to choose and is surrounded by the philosophies developed by the greatest minds that ever lived. History, literature and science also weigh in lay before each and every person a literal banquet of choices. He who has chosen well has selected the path that leads him directly back to obedience. Man is both redeemed, or reclaimed by the Creator, and changed when he resolves to ask God to reveal His will; seeks to understand how to apply that will to his own life; and, knocks at the door of the Great Architect with faith that the door will be opened. One never opens the door by force. One waits for it to be opened by God’s will.

It is relatively easy to discern the obedient person. He avoids anger and replaces it with kind words to his fellow man. He acknowledges his own faults, apologizes for his slights to others and resolves to do better next time. He freely gives of his precious time to serve, comfort and compassionate others. He visits the widows, orphans and elderly. He avoids disputes and builds harmony. He understands different points of view and keeps self-pride well under control. And, he regularly kneels in humble praise and supplication to the Almighty Father of the Universe – the one living God. Simply stated, he is a Freemason.

Avoid a Disastrous Affair – How to Resist Delicious, Tempting, Married Men

Have you ever wondered why all the good men are taken? Have you ever met a married man who is so gorgeous that you can’t help feeling envious of his wife? You’re not alone. The other day, I was traveling to Los Angeles and met the most charming married man at the airport. I left the airport thinking that his wife was one lucky woman.

Fantasies are healthy. They allow us to get in touch with our sexual desires and make us feel more alive. Face it: if you don’t have some daydreams and fantasies, you’re taking yourself too seriously. Fantasies are healthiest and most pleasant when they exist in our minds, because we don’t have to deal with the consequences. As long as they’re only fantasies, we don’t have to deal with indigestion after eating that forbidden fruit.

The problem only arises when a woman, so consumed with her desires, tries to make that fantasy a reality. It’s human nature that we want the unattainable. Something is very tempting about having an affair with a handsome and unavailable man. When that married man is consciously flirting with us and teasing us, it only fans the fire.

In my experience as a relationship coach, I’ve talked to many single women who want advice on dealing with the painful aftermath of having affairs. It turns out that the forbidden fruit not only gives you indigestion, it also inflicts deep emotional pain that can take a long time to heal. While physical encounters are always fun and exciting, many single women inevitably fell in love with the married men. The problem is, these men aren’t nearly as emotionally invested as the women are.

For women who are tempted to make that fantasy a reality, or are already living that fantasy, the following ideas can help you clarify a few things.

  • The feeling of love may just be an illusion. We desire the unattainable. The love you feel toward a married man may just be a reflection of the desire to possess something you can never have. In fact, many of my clients have confessed that it’s the biggest turn off when the men want to leave their wives to be with them.
  • When you only know the man through physical encounters, you only have a glimpse of him as a person. Maybe you start to wonder what he’s like with his wife, how he plays with his children, how he spends his time when he isn’t with you. Eventually, you start to project your image of the perfect mate onto him. Take some time to ask yourself if you are idealizing this married man and are making him more perfect than he really is.
  • Know there will be consequences. A damaged reputation, harsh judgments from colleagues and friends are only some of the consequences you need to face when the affair becomes known. Social acceptance is important for our psychological well-being. Be aware of the high price you may need to pay for living your fantasy!
  • Thinking you can handle a purely physical relationship is dangerous. Many single women initially enter affairs with the confidence that they can handle a purely physical relationship. As modern women, they believe that they don’t need a partner to take care of their emotional needs. Eventually, they realize that a physical relationship with no emotional foundation is very unfulfilling. They gradually become emotionally involved and become infatuated or fall in love with the married man. When the man uses the woman as a purely sexual object, no matter how emotionally strong the woman is she will feel dissatisfied.

What to Do When a Man Becomes Distant

Women are constantly wondering what to do when a man becomes distant. When a man appears withdrawn, no matter how hard you try to get closer to him, you often just feel as if things are just getting worse instead of better. However, there are some very definite steps that you can take that will draw your man closer to you instead of pushing him further away. And isn’t this what you truly want to see happen?

So what is your best course of action when a man seems to be distant, inattentive, and withdrawn? Simply put, quite often our first instincts are to try to “talk” to our man about whatever is “bothering” him. So we begin to vocalize the dreaded sentence to a man, “We need to talk.” This, quite honestly, makes him pull further away because he senses your neediness. Now, you may be thinking, what is needy about wanting to know what is wrong with him? The answer is not one that you might readily understand, but is one that you need to begin to embrace if you are going to draw a man in for the long haul. Anytime your feelings are contingent upon what he is feeling, then a man begins to perceive this as needy. In other words, if when a man becomes distant, you begin to feel anxious and insecure, he begins to think that your happiness is dependent upon his doing or saying certain things. This makes him feel obligated and, believe it or not, even trapped. I know, I know – it’s hard to sometimes rationalize how simply wanting to talk about what is bothering him could make him experience these feelings, but unfortunately, that’s exactly what happens.

So knowing all of this, what should you do? First, remain calm and peaceful and happy. This might seem easier said than done, but with a little practice, it is something that you can learn to do without much effort. Take your attention away from him and his issues and begin to focus on your life and what makes you happy. You have probably been so involved with him and the relationship that you have started ignoring some hobbies or friends. This is a good time to get back in tune with both your friends and your hobbies and start to feel like “yourself” again instead of someone who is constantly waiting to see what he is going to do.

If he isn’t calling, isn’t asking you out, and has basically stopped all contact, just let it be. This is tough, but is doable if you will just remain determined to let him work through his own issues. When a man becomes distant, don’t text him or call him or ask him what is wrong. There is a time to express to him but not until he returns. And even though your biggest fear is that he is gone forever, most likely, he is not. Oftentimes, when a man becomes distant, it is one of the biggest compliments a woman can receive. If you have been seeing a man and everything has been going great but suddenly he becomes withdrawn, quite likely, he is trying to get his emotions back in check. When a man begins to care about a woman a great deal, he often pulls back so that he can regain control of his emotions. In other words, you have impacted him greatly and he feels somewhat out of control when he is with you. The only way he knows to regain control is to pull away from you. Most of the time, after a little distance, he will return. And the good news is, if you handle this period of distance effectively, he will be more in love with you than when he left.

This seems a little difficult to believe but men have verified this over and over and women whom have let him work through these emotional times on his own have often found that he returns always. Now the big question is after a man becomes distant, what should you do when he returns. This is the time that you are able to have a conversation that expresses some of what you feel.

There are actually two ways of dealing with his return, and your own particular situation will really dictate which method might be the most effective. If he has only become withdrawn for a short period of time and this is his first time doing so, and you have effectively waited until he renewed contact, then one of the best responses is to act as if you hardly even knew he was gone. This may be tough to do, but learn to “fake it until you make it.” For instance, if he calls and seems somewhat apologetic and says something like, “I’m sorry I haven’t called for awhile. I’ve been really busy with work, yada, yada, yada,” then you need to say something like, “Oh, how long has it been? I’ve felt so excited lately with my new yoga class (or whatever you have an interest in) that I haven’t had time to think about anything else.” Then, just expand on this and tell him how great you “feel.” Notice you are talking in feeling messages not thinking messages. This keeps you in your feminine mode.

Now let’s say that a man has become distant and he hasn’t contacted you for a month. After a while he calls and seems to think he can just waltz back in to your life as if nothing has happened. Or perhaps he has done this a time or two before. It is never acceptable for a man to play with your emotions, but we don’t want to say this to him, we want to “show” him it is unacceptable. There are a couple of ways to do this.

First, you should not be available immediately when he does call. If he calls today, wait a day to two days before returning the call. If he calls and doesn’t leave a message asking you to return the call, then don’t. A missed call is just that-it is not a request for a return call. After waiting the appropriate amount of time to return his call, be happy when you talk to him. However, when he asks to get together, don’t be available the first time and say something like, “I would have loved to go to the game with you on Friday, but I already have plans. How about we get together on Wednesday?”

When you get together, you might just simply say something like, “I don’t want to make a big issue out of this, but it makes me feel uncomfortable when I don’t hear from you for long periods of time. I feel unimportant and unappreciated when you do this. What do you think we should do?” You have not berated him for his actions. You have only stated how you feel. And, you have put the problem in his hands so he can “think” about a solution. Your job as a woman is to feel and his job as a man is to think.

Follow these simple steps when a man becomes distant and you will find that he begins to be much more open and talk to you about many things in his life. As tough as these steps may seem in the beginning, they are well worth it when you experience the results brought about by such actions.

5 Life Changing Lessons That You Can Learn From ‘Yes Man’ the Movie

This movie was released last year but why it is related with life and personal growth? It is really a magnificent movie if you are able to extract some important keys to live life happily. Therefore, let me do the work for you. I have analyzed the movie and learned many important keys to live life the way we want.. I will explain the lessons and at the end of each lesson I will describe how we can implement in our lives.

All right now let us begin.

Lesson 5 – Do not let your past to take control over you.

This is the Ultimate lesson that I learned in this movie. In Yes Man, Carl will be deeply affected with the divorce and his previous relationship. He let this event in his life to take control over him by avoiding his friends and lock himself equipped with some DVD movies to kill off his time at his apartment.

What you can do: If you really have so much of pain especially your past life, then this is the time for you to take decision to kill them off with positive actions. Go out with your friends. Spend some time doing what you love. The key is to make yourself busy until you do not have sufficient time to think about your painful past. You can choose to be happy.

Lesson 4 – Ignoring or avoiding opportunities.

There are many opportunities that shows up to Carl in many events but he refused all of them by saying ‘No’. He was really good at that in rejecting opportunities. Some of the opportunities that came to him are so precious whereby he could have been promoted at a very early stage. The ‘No’ word has put him in the place where there would be no growth.

What you can do: There would be no growth in life if we keep on pushing away opportunities that shows up. Saying yes to some of the opportunities by taking action on them can change your life. You can begin now with simple changes whereby saying yes to your kid to have a picnic at weekend. It can be anything and you just have to remember the key where if you take action on opportunities, there will be growth in your life.

Lesson 3 – Saying Yes can open your mind to new possibilities.

After Carl attend the seminar, he will make a covenant to say yes to every opportunities that presents themselves. He will be able to discover different areas of life even a very good experience whereby he would be able to save a man from jumping from his apartment. He learned how to play guitar, flight lessons, even learning how to speak Korean.

What you can do: There is a very simple and easy thing that you can do. Let us do this together as fun. Just for one week try to say yes to things that you usually will say no. You do not have to push yourself hard as Carl as in the movie but you can do it according to your will and desire. Try to do new things such as learning a new piece of instrument. Have FUN.

Lesson 2 – There is nothing wrong in giving to others.

It is true because whatever we give it will return to us in hundred fold. Every good thing that we do or give to others will return to us for our favor. There is one sweet example in this movie where Carl after attending the seminar will give a ride back home for an old guy and even give all of his money to him. This would be something bad for Carl but because of giving away all of his money he will get Allison in his life where he will meet her at the petrol station(his ultimate precious gift).

What you can do: Start to give away your money to the one who needs them. You do not have to give everything away but just a part in excess. That is not all because there is something else that you can give in abundant and the good news is it is free. It can be nothing else than love. This force is so powerful until it can bring so many good things to your life if you do that without any expectation. Start to give money and love to the one who truly needs them. You will start to see the changes.

Lesson 1 – Live Life The Way You Truly Want IT.

This is my favorite and important lesson that I learned from this movie. It is doing what we truly love in our lives. Most of us are struggling to do so even Carl from the movie. After he begin to take actions on every opportunities he will start to live life the way he want.

What you can do: There is one easy and simple thing that yo can do to live life the way you want. The very first step is to discover what are your passions. When you have realized them you can live life passionately by taking actions on them.

Life should be fun and happy. We are here to enjoy and use all the creations of this Universe. If not, then why are they here? We are going to be here only once so why we cannot live life the way we want it? We can actually…Start to say Yes to Life now.

Make Men Want You – 5 Things You Can Do to Make Any Man Want You

Love is hard and love can be brutal. Sometimes, we meet people that we feel are just meant for us. Every once in a while, you come across a person that makes you think, “If only we were together, it would be like magic”, and you get distraught because you discover the person of your dreams doesn’t share your feelings. Some say that you just can’t do anything about that but I, on the other hand, say you can. I will present 5 tips for you to Make Men Want You and have them eating out of the palm of your hand.

1. Provide No Burden of Happiness

If you want a man to want you, you need to make the man know that you are not totally dependent on him to make you happy. That’s an awful lot of pressure to put on someone. It is often hard enough to make ourselves happy. The burden of another person’s happiness is too heavy to carry. You need to show your man that you are capable of being happy whether he is in your life or not.

2. Prove Your Value

In order to make a man want you, you must first make him believe that having you in his life will improve the quality of it. He needs to know that you are of some value. An important lesson to learn is that, when you actively pursue a person romantically, you are lowering your value in the eyes of that person. It is human nature to think, when someone is pursuing us, that the pursuer is either desperate or lonely. Neither of which is very appealing. This is why the “playing hard to get” method has been so effective for decades. When someone is hard to get, it is naturally assumed that they are of greater value.

3. Make Him Think Your Time Is Precious

If you want to make a man want you, you are going to have to do something that may seem counter-productive to your ultimate goal. You’re going to need to resist all urges to spend every waking moment in his presence. In order to increase your value to him, the time you spend with him will need to be scarce, as you need to make him know that you have a life and it does NOT revolve around him. If you have any knowledge about the male ego, you know that this is a terrific little trick. In his mind, the time you’re not spending with him is time spent with another man. Competition. This will make him want you. Make him feel as if he must “win” you away from his competitor. He can’t help it. Each time you get with him, he will appreciate it more because he knows that you have others lying in the weeds, waiting for him to fail so they can pounce on you. It may or may not be true, but when your not available all of the time, the man you want will think this way. Again, he can’t help it.

4. Give The Phone A Chance To Recharge

I know you’re crazy about the guy but, for crying out loud, give the phone a break! Avoid calling him all day long. This will KILL any attraction he has towards you. If you’re already involved with him, it’s okay to call him once or twice a day but, if not, you want to avoid smothering him at all costs. Now, if you’ve obeyed the first 3 rules, he may call you 15 times a day. In this case, you are going to want to keep the conversations as brief as possible because, remember, your time is precious. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to actually ignore some of his calls as well. This creates that awesome attraction builder called mystery. If you aren’t there, at his every beckon call, he will wonder where you are, what you’re doing and, most importantly, who you’re doing it with. Mystery does awesome tricks with the imagination.

5. Occasionally Lose Interest

Again, this is another tactic that will play on the male ego. When a man feels as if someone of value is losing interest in him, he will do everything in his power to prove his worth to you. I realize that this particular rule is hard to follow, especially when your main goal is to make him want you but, in order to get him to want you, you must first understand how the male ego works.

The male ego is a pretty powerful tool that you can use to get what you want. It controls men to unbelievable lengths, and it you really want to make him want you, you are going to need to take full advantage of the edge it gives you. When you do it properly, in the end, he will think that you being together was his idea and desire all along and will appreciate you more than you will ever realize.

How to Make Him Mine Forever – Hold Your Man Down With the Least of Efforts & Make Him Yours

It may not be the best analogy, but men are like butterflies. They fleet from one flower to another, and when they have gathered all fragrance and sweetness, they lose interest and move to the next appealing flower they see. Many girls know this tiny fact, and can’t rest easy over their paranoia that one day, their men butterflies would simply float away. Here’s how to make your guy stay forever.

Believe the song. It works.

“Don’t go changing, to try and please me….” It goes. And guys have confirmed that it’s true. A fatal mistake girls make is changing drastically a part of themselves in efforts to please their man. These changes are sometimes too overwhelming, that a guy is forced to just back out. If you are going to change, do it in little ways, and hint at it first, so as to make sure your guy is okay with it.

You aren’t perfect so don’t nag him about his flaws.

While you may be so caught up in your own little world, and would hate for your man to be less than perfect, remember that a good relationship is based on both the compatibility and uniqueness of each partner. If there are certain things you can’t stand about your man, subtly and humorously tell him about it, while making sure he gets the point. Or if you think it deserves a sit-down-let’s-talk moment, have one – if he is resistive to change, understand his issues first. It probably isn’t as big as a deal as you make it to be.

Control those emotions, woman.

Men are meant to be practical and women emotional – but it’s this truth that drives men crazy and out of the door. Jealousy is one of the products of this culprit known as emotions. And when women get jealous, it’s not a pretty sight. Showing your man the jealous monster in you is enough to give him nightmares and leave. If you feel something is not right, confront him, without making it feel so much of a confrontation. And for crying out loud, do not turn the waterworks on.

Go out of your way.

Guys may not say much, but they appreciate little things you do, given the way of the world, where they do the wooing and women simply sit pretty. Cooking for him could be an everyday thing, but cooking his favorite even when you’ve had a rough day at work is telling him how much you appreciate being with him. Or, choosing him over your friends even though you’ve planned a girls night out several weeks ago, because he’s depressed his dog died. It’s not spoiling him, when you keep in mind the balance at all times.

Do not let yourself go.

And this is the balance we are referring to. While you may feel like the world’s best girlfriend and would like to make a career out of taking care of your big baby boyfriend, you also need to pull yourself together and remember that you have a life apart from your relationship. Maintain connections with friends and family, and always make time for yourself. Guys lose interest, no matter how much you give them, when they see that you’ve let yourself go and you are no longer that attractive sex kitten you once were.

Whatever you do, honesty will always be the only policy.

It’s the life and blood of any healthy relationship – and we’re talking forever here. Mutual honesty is important in keeping your bond alive. Encourage an open communication between you and your guy, and subtly train him to tell you anything, anything at all, when he needs to. This way, he won’t have an excuse to run off to somebody else when he finds it so easy to talk to you.

Face the fact: He will always be a guy.

Don’t try to change the stuff your guy loves – Super Bowl Sundays with the boys, lazing around in front of the TV on weekends, his obsession for expensive character figures and toys, and his fascination for Playboy magazines. This was him before and when you met him, and there’s no point in trying to change that, unless you have a good reason.

If it doesn’t hurt the relationship, let it be. He doesn’t bother telling you that you take too much time in the shower, or that your obsession for expensive makeup is off the roof, so why bug him about his Star Wars addiction? It’s these things that make each of you unique, and if you plan on being together forever, you will have to accept these things about each other, because they’re also the same things that make you two awesome together.

Is It Normal for Men to First Follow a Woman and Then Act Indifferent When She Shows Interest?

It is both hurting and demeaning for a woman when they find that the man, who just some time back was chasing them with so much vigour, is now backtracking with the same intensity just when she has begun to warm up to him. Read on if you are all at loss and want to be in the know of such behaviour.

It is a kind of a self test for men
Men always want to know how desirable they are to women. They might chase a woman without really having any interest in her as they just want to see how the woman will react to their overtures. Once they find the woman respond positively to their advances their objective is achieved and they walk away.

The “hunter instinct” is alive and kicking
If a man comes across a woman who for him is above par and difficult to get, then the hunter instinct will kick in just for the thrill of the chase and to satiate his own ego. He starts losing interest in the woman when she begins showing interest in him because he wasn’t chasing her with an intention of getting into a relationship with her in the first place.

The thrill is gone, he will be too
He has chased the woman with all the intensity he is capable of and has succeeded in getting her by his side. True, he might have found her attractive when he started out but that was when she was out of his reach. He finds the fun and excitement of the chase more exciting than the woman and so he begins to step away.

He is the non committal type
Many men, without being aware of if themselves are non committal type of people. So, even if they chase a woman with the purpose of a relationship, once the woman starts reciprocating; their essential fear of having to commit comes to the forefront and they start beating a hasty retreat.

His love for freedom outweighs that of the woman
Men are sticklers when it comes to letting go of their freedom. They are plain horrified at the thought of giving up a carefree life and the single status. This is simply because it allows them to keep their options open. So, they actually see it as a threat when the woman they have been chasing begins warming up to them.

Reality has turned out to be different than imagination
He just had a pretty picture and an imagination of what she would be like when he started chasing her. And if he finds that the woman is not what he had envisioned in his mind, he begins to walk away.

What was once great has now become ordinary fare
There is no one really to blame here. The woman was an enigma and a mystery to be solved when the chase was on. But now that it has happened and with the woman now by his side, life is back to its usual humdrum, his interest will begin to wane.

Why Is a Woman Important in a Man’s Life?

Have you ever doubted how the presence of a woman can affect a man’s life positively? A woman is the man’s reflection but all the same she is important for a man in a number of ways. This article shows how. Read on to find out.

Before I go to these ways, I would like to share with you a short anecdote. A millionaire was once asked how he made it. He simple said: Forget all the hot girls out there. Just focus on one woman. She will help you achieve everything.

Now here are all the ways a woman becomes a vital person for a man:

First of all women are not wise to pretend that they are equal to men. In fact, they are far superior and always have been. Whatever a man gives a woman, she will make greater.

1) Give her a house: She will keep it warm in winter and cool in summer. She will, in fact, give you a comfortable home. She will keep it immaculate and spick and span. The man will always be happy to come back to a cozy home.

2) Give her sperm: She will bear all the torment and burden of carrying a baby in her womb for nine months and then birth a child who the man will love and adore.

3) Give her groceries: She will cut all the vegetables and other required items and go the extra mile to make a delicious meal. Wouldn’t the man be grateful to have a spouse who is happy to cook meals for him if he only buys her groceries?

4) Give her a smile: It will warm and melt her heart and she will give her heart to him willingly. She will further give you all the listening ear and make you happy.

As you can see she multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.

So mind you, if you give her any crap, don’t be surprised to get a ton of blah blah!!

Furthermore, if you allow her to work on a job she loves, she will bring in the extra cash enthusiastically for running the family.

In all ways, she is a plus for you. So remember to treat her well and say kind words to her and be thankful to Almighty God for having such a great spouse.

All women spouses are special. That is the bottom line. Men should accept it joyously and appreciate them from their hearts’ content.

When an Aries Man Is Mad – Tips to Calm Him Down and Get Him to Forgive You

When an Aries man is mad everyone around him typically knows they need to duck for emotional cover. Men born under this sign are as honest as they come. When they’ve become upset they have no reservations about sharing what they feel and it tends to be directed at the person who pushed them to feel that way. If you’re a woman dating a man like this and you’ve done something to light his fuse, you know that it can become hurtful very quickly. What Aries men lack in diplomacy, they more than make up for in passion. When a man like this loves you, it’s completely. Right now though you’ve got to face his temper and find a way to defuse it so you can get him to feel close to you again.

Trying to apologize when an Aries man is mad can seem like an exercise in futility. If he’s past the point of listening to reason and has reached the point where he feels the need to rant, you’re best off to allow that to happen and to remain as calm as you can. Men born at this time of year need to be able to let off the steam that builds when they feel wronged. If you take offense at this and start trying to argue your point, it will probably lead to even more conflict and you’ll end up with a broken heart and bruised ego. That’s why you need to listen to him share what he feels and then once he is done you can begin the process of making amends to him.

Start by separating yourself from him for a time. You need him to have a chance to think about things and to cool down. This probably can’t happen if you’re continually trying to get him to forgive you. As much as you want to put this episode behind you, for him your constant pleadings are just a reminder of why he was upset in the first place. That’s why it’s crucial that you back off for a few days at the least.

Once you feel enough time has passed, make your sincere apology then. Explain that you’re sorry for what happened and try to do it in a direct and compassionate way. You’ll feel inclined to promise him that you won’t do it again and that’s fine but you will need to follow through with that by showing him that you’ve changed.

Although it can take a little time for an Aries man to forgive you when he’s mad, it will happen. Just give him the space he needs and allow your actions to show him how regretful you are. Remember that allowing him the chance to vent and calm down are the keys to putting the mistake behind you and moving forward.
