To Gain Control Of Your Life: Get Control Of Yourself!

Life becomes increasingly difficult when we have not learned to take control our own thoughts, impulses, desires, and actions.

Once we learn and apply this self discipline to our lives we will be surprised at how much easier and enjoyable our lives truly could have been all along.

To get control of yourself you must submit your will to what you know is right (in the sight of God). Therein lies the problem most of us face.

Giving up control to get control. 

We must recognize that our view is almost totally from the inside looking out, never from the outside looking inward, and at best if we are able to be objective enough and come close to seeing from both perspectives, we still filter everything we see through our own prejudices.

We need an outside objective, brutally honest perspective of ourselves, so that we can truly see who we are and what the shortcomings are that needs to be addressed. Once this is done. we must act doing what we know is right even though it will feel very uncomfortable because the path is new and unfamiliar.

But eventually it will become familiar and start to become increasingly comfortable and enjoyable and you will soon be living the life you've always dreamed of. You then will be in control of your life because you have gained control of yourself be yielding your will to the righteousness of God.

The Power of a Woman

As I thought about the unspoken and perhaps unknown influence that my love has over me, I couldn't help but be reminded of the power that women actually have in the world. Since birth, the woman is the one who has loved, nurtured, trained, and inspired every man on the planet! Women have an enormous amount of power yet don't always seek to or know how to use it to change the destiny of their families. We will discuss more in upcoming episodes.

Understanding Your Husband's 

Relational Sexual Needs

In this issue we look at a hormone called Oxytocin. Have you heard about it?  Probably not. Did you know that it is actually the hormone which causes us to feel closer to one another? It is actually sometimes referred to as the “cuddle hormone”. And this hormone is far more stronger in women that in men because of the higher levels of estrogen in a woman’s body.

Not Surprisingly this hormone skyrockets during pregnancy, labor, and breastfeeding which explains the overwhelming maternal love and desire new moms have for their babies. It is a key in the bonding process of any relationship. It causes us to feel closer and connected to each other. 

Now what IS somewhat surprising, is that there is only one time when Oxytocin levels spike in men. And that is immediately after lovemaking. Thats right, men are biologically predisposed to feel more emotionally connected, caring, and loving, after intimacy with their wives. 

He will be more attentive, patient, giving, and altruistic to his partner. Perhaps this is why God tell us through the writings of Paul ...Deprive not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your lack of self-control.
