get your partner a professional massage

 Buy your partner a professional therapeutic massage. If

you are concerned about whether the massage therapist is

ethical or don't know of one in your area, you could contact the

National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and

Bodywork by putting that term in your internet search engine

and getting more information about massage therapists in your

area. Or ask around and find out who is good. The thing about

this is that there are MANY kinds of therapeutic massage, and

some kinds appeal to some people and other kinds appeal to

others. The key is to find out what your partner really likes and

get them what they like!

what is simplicity?

Simplicity is an interesting concept.

Maybe what's meant is clarity and focus on what's really important - being your highest, best self; faith, purpose and gratitude; love.

For some people having lots of stuff is a distraction from that clarity and focus.

For other people not having is a distraction from that clarity and focus.

Having stuff or not having stuff is irrelevant.

Rich people can be mean, hurtful, hateful, invidious, stingy, miserly... but so can poor people. 

Poor people and rich people fight and hate and steal and kill and lie.

Poor people and rich people give, love, help and tell the truth. 

Judging someone by any socioeconomic scale doesn't seem fair.

How do you see this concept of simplicity?  

I'm very curious to hear your thoughts.

Are you lonely in your marriage? http://www.couplescoach.com

Many people who are married find, ironically, that they are "lonely" in their marriage.

Isn't one of the important reasons to get married - to have someone there with you?

How does this loneliness take place?

It happens because your "available conversations" become very very small... out of fear of intimacy.

The cure for loneliness in marriage is to expand the intimacy... to be brave... to re-open doors of connection.

That's why I did this:

There are all kinds of artists. A group we should celebrate more are artist of life itself who use their tools to express the inexpressible. Without a brush, they depict life with bright colors. Without a knife, they sculpt the magic of being. Without a scale, they create music for us all. Without choreography, they engage in the dance of life.

When we are born, we are given tools to create a life of beauty. These same tools can be used to perpetuate ugliness and destruction. Hopefully we will understand at some point in our lives that we can decide to reflect beauty. Tangible works of art fade with time, chip from walls, and may be discredited by passing trends.

Isn't it time to grow up in your marriage?

Most of the couples I see have been married many years.

Some have been married upwards of 30 years.

But they are still operating on the same child-like expectations and fantasies of a 17 year old.

When you grow up in love it's different.

I'll show you how

You say that love is nonsense....

You say that love is nonsense....I tell you it is no such thing. For weeks and months it is a steady physical pain, an ache about the heart, never leaving one, by night or by day; a long strain on one's nerves like toothache or rheumatism, not intolerable at any one instant, but exhausting by its steady drain on the strength.

I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,

Or all the riches that the East doth hold.

My love is such that rivers cannot quench,

Nor ought but love from thee, give recompense.

Thy love is such I can no way repay,

Stop fooling yourself in your marriage... Stop the lies

9 times out of 10 people who come in for marriage counseling are lying.

They aren't really there for change - not really.

9 times out of 10 they are there only for one of these reasons:

To prove to a professional how crazy their partner is...

To get assistance in making their apouse do what they have already decided is the answe to the problems...

Because their partner blackmailed them and made them come to counseling...

To put on a show of cooperation before they drop the hammer and leave...

If you assume you can identify in each case which applies to women and which to men, think again - you are wrong.

This is "equal opportunity bullshit"

How to heal old wounds in your marriage

Everyone has them.

Old wounds from experiences you've had in your marriage.

Show me someone who is completely unscathed - who has never felt resentment, betrayal, disappointment or disloyalty in their marriage.

Show me this person and I'll show you someone who is in a hypnotic trance.

The rest of us are aware of suffering and pain... it may be very "low grade" but it's still there.

It still colors our decisions.

It still affects us.

And for many people - maybe you - if things just got "a little worse" you'd start thinking it was time to bail on the marriage.

Don't let it get that far.

It's fairly easy to turn things around with some basic skills taught by a seasoned professional.

How to say I'm sorry

What is it like for you when you know you've hurt your spouse or partner?

For most of us it's not that easy to know what to do next.

Yes obviously it's time to say "I'm sorry."

But it's not that easy, is it?

You may feel that your partner has hurt you too, and wonder why it's always you saying "I'm sorry"

Why doesn't your partner say that HE (or she) is sorry?

And what and how do you say it if you really don't feel it?

Isn't every relationship problem always 50/50 responsibility?

They say that Bambi doesn't marry Hitler, if you know what I mean.

Does your spouse take you for granted?

Many people feel they are way under-appreciated by their spouses.

They feel that all they contribute to the marriage is taken for granted by the other person.

Katie says "I go to work, I take care of the kids, I clean the house, and all my husband can do is complain he doesn't get enough sex."

Robert says, "I work all day long at a job I don't really enjoy, I'm living in a neighborhood and town that was my wife's choice, all I do is work, it's my way of contributing, and then my wife asks me every day why I don't tell her about my feelings."

Do you feel that way too?

There are solutions to feeling that way.

People with great marriages don't have that problem.

They don't feel unappreciated.

They feel deeply deeply appreciated.

When kindness isn't kind

It happens often that one or another of you thinks you are doing the other one a favor.

You are helping out.

You might think you are helping the other person to 

think

feel

understand

get friends

solve work problems

... and it may or may not be something the other person ACTUALLY WANTS!

They might be afraid to tell you so.

You might call them a pansy and they should tell you to stop it, but if you were married to you do you really think you'd say anything?

You'd be hurt.

So you have to take the initiative yourself.

ASK PERMISSION BEFORE IMPOSING HELP

What is your business vision?

Are you driven by your customers and their desires and and needs or by your own needs?

Is the goal of your business to help yourself or to help your customers?

If you are in business just to help yourself, you may make some money today and you may make some money tomorrow, but there is definitely a ceiling on how far your business can develop and grow.

I live in a very remote area outside of a mountain town in Northern California.

Within 10 miles of my house there is only one small grocery store and one restaurant.

For the last 20 years, there have been 4 owners of the little grocery store and 5 owners of the restaurant.

None of the previous owners have been able to make a go of either small businesses.

In the last 5 years however, both businesses have taken off and are doing great!  There are customers at both of these businesses constantly!

Now in the last 2 years, "economic conditions" around our neck of the woods have been very bad as in most places.

Our house values have dropped by as much as 60% (I know mine has for sure because I checked with a broker).

Shops are closing in town every day.

Now during that time these two little stores have been going gangbusters.

What do you think is the difference?

What are these businesses doing differently?

How are they surviving and thriving while almost every other business is flat or going down the tubes?

I'm going to make you wait for this and think about it.

Tune in tomorrow and I'll answer the question.

Most married people say they value marriage.

But they don't act like it.

They throw their spouse under the bus every day.

They don't really defend their spouse against all comers.

They aren't loyal.

If you really believe in marriage, in your marriage, it's time to awaken from your slumbers...

and go on an all out crusade.

The reason you are stuck is because you aren't really committed.

Are you faithful or unfaithful?

Most people think of "faithfulness" in marriage as sexual faithfulness.

Granted, an affair can be devastating to a marriage.

But there are other forms of unfaithfulness you may not be considering.

Over time they can be just as destructive on a marriage.

An affair is like a sledgehammer, but lots of seemingly minor disloyalties can do just as much damage.

Like a Chinese Water Torture things can erode.

Let me mention one here, which is talking to your friends about your relationship.

Now you'd think that might be healthy.

It isn't.

I know, you think it helps.

It doesn't.

The problem is that your friend supports your way of thinking.

You train your friends.

Meantime you are talking behind your spouse's back.

That's bad.

And the reason you do it is because you think you can't communicate with your spouse.

You're right, you can't.

It's better to learn how to communicate and stop being unfaithful to your spouse by talking behind his or her back.

That's why I made this

That creeping feeling of inequality in marriage

Both sexes feel it.

I've heard it from men and from women.

"It's not fair...

I do all the ___________

He never does any!"

"It's not fair...

I do all the __________

She never does any!"

You feel it, you've been there.

Everyone has.

But what do you do about it?

Sulk?  Get mad?  Demand change?

Seek revenge, plot how you are going to get even?

Stuff it and keep your mouth shut?

Come on, be honest.

You know what you should do.

You should discuss it.

But there's a problem.

You think you are an excellent communicator, but your partner isn't.

That's not true.  Neither one of you knows how to communicate.

Yes, you can talk about "easy" things.

You can talk about interests in common.

When it gets to the "hot topics" - it goes nowhere.

That's why you have that feeling all the time that even though things are ok they are never "quite right."

There are things you are doing wrong.

People with great marriages think differently than you do

Every young married couple starts out thinking they will be different. 

They'll be truthful, they'll never lose their passion for each other...

They'll raise their children better, they'll always fight fair.

But every single one of us has something going against us.

Our culture, while demanding that people "get married and be happy" gives every one of us negative messages about marriage.

You expect that sooner or later you have to compromise.

You expect that "the honeymoon" is "soon over."

You expect that "passion will die."

You expect that women will see men as "boys."

You expect that men will see women as "emotional" and "hysterical."

The deck is stacked against you.

Most individuals and most couples fall prey to the "cultural messages."

People in great marriages are different.

They talk to each other differently.

They don't fall for the "standard bullshit" most people do about relationships and marriage.

They have a set of skills you don't have.

They know the secrets of communication.

If you want a great marriage, you'll learn those skills too.

You'll clear the bullshit out of your head and learn to communicate powerfully and intimately.

She just wants so much more.

She wants to be thought of as "hot" once again by her husband.

Being Your True Self in Marriage

James and I were talking yesterday.

He said that he loved his wife Trish, but felt that in 21 years of marriage he had never really been who he really is around her.

He feels his true self has always remained hidden.  Only his old guy friends know who he really is.

He said that he always felt that if he expressed what he really thinks and feels she would be shocked.

She would dislike him.

She would be afraid and upset.

The last thing James ever wants to do is get Trish upset.

When she's upset she yells and screams and cries and in the end James just buckles and gives her everything she wants anyway.

So James has concluded, why bring up anything that will upset Trish?

This is why he has always been someone he feels is a "mask," the husband and father Trish prefers him to be.

Is this the right way for James to live?  Never being himself around Trish, always molding himself the way he thinks she wants him to?

What do you think I suggested to James?

Friendship in marriage

There's always a lot of talk when it comes to marriage about...

will the passion last

can you really be intimate

sexual performance

sustaining the romance

... but in the end if you are going to be together over the long haul and really enjoy your life together
there is only one thing that truly counts and that is friendship.

Friendship isn't easy to maintain in marriage, for many reasons.

There's a lot of pressure.

There's almost too much knowledge of one another and your habits.

There's financial pressures that other kinds of friendships don't have to endure

We have health issues... self confidence issues... all kinds of other things come up in life

Betrayals, pain, disappointments

This is why in any relationship you have to know how to communicate well

Relationship communication isn't like other types of communication...

A respectful counter-proposal on health care

Everyone says don't post on political issues or religious issues.

I've never been one to follow what everyone says to do. 

So here's my counter proposal on health care to the concepts currently under discussion.

No one asked me but I'm saying...

There's no problem with healthcare

Our healthcare is excellent

There's a problem with income and affordability

That's easily solved with true (not Bush) conservatism

You cut taxes on all small business

You build up small communities, local communities

You believe in communities and individual persons rather than bureaucracies

You give people tax incentives for behaviors which lead to health

You give small communities money to build community health centers

You pay for medical school and require all people you pay for to serve in the community health centers for 4 -5 years for room and board and a small stipend.

You drop caps on all malpractice

You punish insurance companies and severely limit their power

You severely limit government interference in any and all health care

You get the government out of the bedroom, the living room, bathroom, board room, dining room and TV room

You dramatically reduce the amount of money any Union can spend politically

You bring retired doctors (and those forced out through other means) back into the fold and pay them as mentors

You give prescription privileges to psychologists

You give money for people to be trained in all modalities of health care - massage, chiro, body work, hypnosis, psychotherapy

You expand the power of PA's and Nurse Practitioners who in effect are as good as MD's on about 80% of all the reasons people go to the doctors

You make most of the less problematic drugs available without a prescription and let a pharmacist work with people

I could go further but you get the point.

She's a woman, he's a boy

A woman named Tia wrote me from a small town in Ecuador

"Dr. Max, help.  We've been married a year.  My husband has moved back in with his mother.  His mother never liked me.  She told him she would commit suicide if he didn't move back in with her."

Tia had yelled, cajoled, begged.  Nothing changed.

Her husband was under an unbreakable spell.

A very convenient one.

He didn't want to grow up and his mother had given him a perfect excuse.

This is obvious...

What's not so obvious in more "urban, sophisticated" situations like yours is that the same thing is happening.

It may be you who is going back to mother, falling under the spell, or it may be your spouse.

You might be male or female.  It doesn't matter.

Men get accused of being "boys" but just as many women are "girls."

A lot of people don't want to grow up.

They want excuses to stay a child.

Look around you and you'll see it's true.

Or look in the mirror.

And before you go calling your spouse a child, remember:

A perfect example of being a child is calling someone else a child.

Adults make choice, they don't around and say "if only..."

"If only things were different."

That's what children think. 

Adults think, "how can I make a change?"

"What can I do to change this situation?"

It involves choices, and then developing skills and courage.

I told Tia she had three choices

1. Wait for her husband to grow up.
2. Go find a man.
3. Live without a man and find her own way.

You have another choice.

That's fortunate for you because you're not in Tia's situation.

That choice is "invite both you and your spouse to grow up."

How?

You have to learn how to communicate.

Communication is the essence of being an adult.

The right kind of communication, that is.

It's a matter of skill and practice.

The right kind of skill and practice.

Beware the Ides of March!

The transition space between winter and the first glimmers of spring has always created anxiety in people.

The middle of March can be harbinger of warmth coming or cold lingering.

Of course this is all superstition because no one knows what the weather - or our personal future - will bring.

Maybe the better expression is "Beware the Trap of Beware of the Ides of March"

Of course that's too long to be catchy :-)

It's far better to decide the life you want to live and then actively create it.

When people talk about things like the Law of Attraction they leave something important out, which is PLANNING and WORK.

Are Dads Better at Parenting?

Well this is a provocative book

Warren Farrell's "Father and Child Reunion"

If you are prepared to have your eyes opened to things you never suspected ("dads are better at teaching their children empathy") and much more you might never imagine to be true about fathers in relationship to their children, I recommend the read.

Based on 13 years of research, not just opinion.
