How to Be an Emotionally Intelligent Parent

Have you, as a parent, ever found yourself treating your children in a way you would never tolerate from someone else? Since the goal of parenting is to raise healthy, satisfied children, then it makes sense to develop whatever innate or natural-born emotional intelligence your child has.

Why is emotional intelligence so important in raising a child? For parents, this quality of "emotional intelligence"-- as many now call it-- means being aware of your children's feelings, and being able to empathize, soothe and understand them.

Join us as we discuss how you too can become an emotionally intelligent parent.

9 Physical Symptoms of Depression

Most of us know about the emotional symptoms of depression, including feelings of sadness, anxiety and hopelessness. But you may not know that depression can be associated with many physical symptoms, too. Many times those suffering from physical pain do not seek help they need.
Physical pain can effect your emotional health. As some of you know, if you've ever had a migraine headache or a toothache, all you wanted to do was make the pain stop -- the last thing you wanted to do was be social or in a public setting.  In fact, many people with depression suffer from chronic pain or other physical symptoms.

Let's check out the 9 Physical Symptoms of Depression.

Dealing with Commitment Phobia

For most people, relationships are fairly easy; we've been making friends since Mommy & Me class or kindergarten. They come as naturally to us as breathing and blinking.

For many, however, relationships aren't so easy. In fact, they are such a challenge to the individual, that a person can be said to have relationship anxiety or suffer from “commitment phobia.”
Commitment issues in relationships are nothing new, but it is a very real experience of anxiety and fear.

So join us as we talk commitment phobia and relationship anxiety.

Can Christian Wives Wear Lingerie?

I love providing premarital counseling as a part of the services, it allows me to assist future married couples design a life that is perfect for them. By asking questions they may not have thought of, or asking that extra question that makes then go deeper in conversation, it allows them to learn even more about each other before the "big day."

One question that I've been asked numerous times is - "Can christian wives wear lingerie once they are married?" I happen to think this is a great question.

Unfortunately, many Christian young women confuse scripture - don't cause a man to lust vs. be pleasing to your husband. They forget that once you're married you're "allowed" to be pleasing and alluring to your husband. That you are now joined as one, honored by married.

If your husband wants for you to try something to "spice up" your marriage, trying lingerie can be a great place to start. You simply need to find what you're most comfortable with. Everyone is not ready for total exposure, and others will not want complete coverage. There are many middle ground pieces.

You could also choose a holiday to celebrate with a new wardrobe piece. Many holidays like Saint Patrick's Day, Valentines Day, 4th of July, and even Christmas have something in the window.

So if you would like to explore where your spirit takes you with your husband, talk to him about it, and then let your imagination follow. Have a great time with your spouse and enjoy the union that God has given you.
