Psychologists say you Need These 3 Compatibility Factors to Have a Successful Marriage

Research suggests that being in a happy marriage is one of the best things you can do for yourself.

According to The New York Times, "being married makes people happier and more satisfied with their lives than those who remain single — particularly during the most stressful periods, like midlife crises."

Of course, some marriages are more successful than others. The Times' Tara Parker-Pope recently examined research on the "ambivalent marriage" — one that is "not always terrible, but not always great" — which found that such a partnership can take a toll on health.

So how can you pick the right partner and set yourself up for long-term success?

We asked Peter Pearson, a couples therapist and cofounder of the Couples Institute in Menlo Park, California.

Chemistry was his first answer.

"Chemistry is not everything," he said, "but if the chemistry is not there, that's a tough thing to overcome. If the chemistry is more there for one person than the other, that's tough to overcome. It's hard to build passion if it's low at the beginning. If I could find a way to build passion where passion was low, I'd be richer than Bill Gates."

But it's not just sexual chemistry, Pearson said. What you might call social chemistry plays a crucial role — the way you feel when you're with the other person. In his experience, when people have affairs, it's more than simple lust — it's also about the way they feel when they're around the other person.

That sense of "how I feel" can be investigated further by looking at the work of Canadian psychologist Eric Berne. Back in the 1950s and '60s, Berne developed "transactional analysis," a model that tried to provide an account of how two people in a relationship interact, or transact.

His popular books about the model became best sellers, namely "The Games People Play." Drawing somewhat on Sigmund Freud, his theory argued that every person has three "ego states":

• The parent: What you've been taught

• The child: What you have felt

• The adult: What you have learned

When two people are really compatible, they connect along each tier. Pearson gave us a few questions for figuring out compatibility at each level:

• The parent: Do you have similar values and beliefs about the world?

• The child: Do you have fun together? Can you be spontaneous? Do you think your partner's hot? Do you like to travel together?

• The adult: Does each person think the other is bright? Are you good at solving problems together?

While having symmetry across all three is ideal, Pearson said that people often "get together to balance each other." One person might identify as fun-loving and adventurous, while the other takes on the role of being nurturing and responsible.

While that divvying up of roles makes for good odd-couple romantic comedies, it's not ultimately sustainable.

"That works until someone gets tired," Pearson said — until one partner is shouting, "I'm tired of being the responsible person here!"

When that happens — or, ideally, before that happens — a couple has to go through the "differentiation" process.

Ellyn Bader, Pearson's wife and Couples Institute cofounder, described in an interview with The Script how the high-tension phase of differentiation works:

People have to come to terms with the reality that "we really are different people. You are different from who I thought you were or wanted you to be. We have different ideas, different feelings, different interests."

Differentiation has two components. There is self-differentiation: "This is who I am and what I want." This refers to the development of an independent sense of self: to know what I want, think, feel, desire. ...

The second involves differentiation from the other. When this is successful, the members of the couple have the capacity to be separate from each other and involved at the same time.

For couples to survive that differentiation process and maint

6 Tips to Help Deliver you From the Evil Called “Anger”

Anger is a usual and healthy emotion, which is neither bad nor good. All of us get irritated and lose control from time to time. However, constant anger can seriously harm your health, relationships and life in general.

Chronic anger leads to heart disease, weak immunity and poor productivity. Moreover, explosive anger makes it difficult for others to communicate with you, trust you and just feel comfortable beside you. There are certain techniques and tools that can help handle intense emotions. Here are few of them.

1. Identify the root of your anger

People get angry for a thousand reasons, but very often each angry fit stems from a deep and hidden motive. High levels of stress, tiredness and diseases contribute to your anger. Explosive anger is often the result of unspoken feelings and other emotions.

When people feel vulnerable, hurt or insecure, they often use groundless anger to protect themselves. Learn to understand people’s emotions and try to express your own.

2. Address issues when you’re calm

The best time to speak to your counterpart is when you are calm. If you really want to settle the question you should be ready to an open constructive dialog. Express your feelings and address the issue in a polite but not aggressive way. Remember to avoid generalizing or blaming your partner.

3. Avoid anger triggers

If you know that certain people, subjects or things are likely to get you angry, try to avoid them. Sure, it’s not always a solution, but it increases your chances to stay calm. Hurry to end discussions or change the subject if it’s going to get you down. Avoiding conflict situations is definitely a good way to tame your anger.

4. Work out

Physical activity is one of the best ways to alleviate stress and relieve negative emotions. Workouts reduce the level of stress hormones and promote the production of serotonin, which is responsible for happiness and relaxation.

If you cannot spend an hour in the gym, opt for a brisk walk outside. It will cool your mind and enable you approach the situation more reasonably. Good scalp massages also help to calm down and soothe tension.

5. Talk to someone

If you can talk to a calm, positive and trustworthy person, do it. Suppressing anger is totally unhealthy and harmful, but a straight talk is a good way to relieve your feelings. When discussing the problem, chances are you will see the whole picture and find the way out. So the next time you experience an outburst, talk to someone. If you don’t want to talk to anyone, consider writing a journal on a daily basis.

6. Take a pause before speaking

When you cannot control your emotions it’s easy to say many things that you don’t really mean, but it’s too late. Take a pause and deep breath, look out of the window. It will help you to cool down and weigh your words. A short break enables both you and your opponent to collect your thoughts and carry on a constructive dialog.

Discover The Real Reasons A Man Falls In Love

What makes a man fall in love?
A man falls in love with you because he knows he can be himself around you. He falls in love with you because he feels SAFE expressing his innermost, private feelings with you.
He feels this way because he knows that you can handle your feelings. He can sense that. And because he senses that at the most unconscious level, he starts to long for your company, for your touch, for your affection. He may not even know why he feels this way.
Once a man feels safe around you, he starts to long for your company, for your touch, and for your affection. He may not even know why he feels this way. All he knows is that there’s something special about you that he doesn’t feel with any other woman in his life. He’s in love.
He wants to take you in his arms and keep you forever.
This is the “secret psychology” of men and love.
I say it’s a secret because it’s little-understood by women (AND men). It’s rare that either you or he will know exactly WHY he feels mesmerized by you and wants to get close to you and pursue you for something serious and long-lasting.
Man ladies are wrong about why a man falls in love
We think a man needs sex, or has to have a fabulously gorgeous woman with a great body. We think a man falls for us because we’re sweet to him, and kind, and giving. ESPECIALLY giving.
So we do things for him. We cook lovely meals and offer deep, thoughtful advice on whatever troubles him.
We light candles whenever he comes over. We put on our sexiest clothes and buy lacy lingerie.
“We give our bodies, our souls, our minds to him. And STILL he tells us that he’s not sure how he feels.” We become exclusive with him without even a passing thought to what WE want, or whether or not he has met our needs yet for a secure, loving and committed relationship.
And STILL he tells us that he’s not sure how he feels. Or he becomes distant and moody. Or he stops calling or asking us out as often as he used to. Or he does something very hurtful, or cheats on us, or tells us that he doesn’t believe you’re “meant” to be together.
This happens because deep down, you didn't trigger love in his HEART. You didn’t connect on the deepest, most intimate level… his feelings.
How to connect with a man’s heart
First, here’s what doesn't connect with a man’s heart: When you tell a man about what you think about the relationship, or what you did that day, or what you think of the latest news you've read or the gossip at work. He listens. He participates in the conversation. But his feelings aren't triggered.
That’s because you share everything but who you are. You put up walls with him without even knowing you’re doing it. You decide not to tell him the sorrow you felt that morning or how a friend made you happy by calling you and cheering you up.
Or, you actually don’t even pay attention to your own emotions. You’re too busy with your to-do lists and tasks.

But if you were to allow yourself to FEEL what you’re feeling, and then speak from those feelings, you would make him feel safe and connected to you.
It seems like such a simple thing. But for so many of us, it’s such a counter-intuitive thing. It’s difficult. We’re not used to being juicy, sexy, FEELING creatures. So many of us are programmed to be doing, thinking, managing, worrying creatures. Unfortunately, these qualities make a man feel nothing around you.
When you become a feminine, juicy, sensual FEELING creature, you magnetize him simply by being what you were always meant to be… an alluring woman who is soft on the outside, but strong and resilient on the inside.
How do you do that? It’s easy when you know exactly how to use your feelings and emotions to communicate the irresistible feminine quality that lures a man in. In my eBook, I teach you all about how to shift your vibe by changing your words and body language and attract a man’s heart, not just his body and mind.

Meet The Inspirational Schoolboy, Aged Seven, Who Is Sole Carer For His Paralysed Dad

A young schoolboy has been been praised for his bravery and kindness after he was revealed as a the sole carer of his paralysed dad.
