  • Is Avoidant Personality Disorder a Defense Mechanism That Land You in Divorce...

    The person with Avoidant Personality Disorder is extremely sensitive to what others think about them. So sensitive that they suffer severe anxiety at the thought of saying or doing the wrong thing.

    Most are people pleasers who bend over backwards to make others happy. The give and give and give until they have nothing left to give. In my experience, it is someone with Avoidant Personality Disorder who is more likely to experience a Midlife Crisis.

    Below are the symptoms of Avoidant Personality Disorder and an example of each behavior.

    Must Be Well Liked: This person does not become involved with others unless they know they are held in high esteem.

    An example, Jane is a fantastic cook. She takes cooking classes and delivers meals to people in need. The problem, if it doesn't have something to do with cooking Jane doesn't become involved. She only puts herself in a position to be around others who praise her and she knows, with her cooking she will always receive praise. Jane spends a lot of time alone...in her kitchen.

    Not Open to Intimate Relationships: This person fears rejection or ridicule by someone they've become romantically...post continued

  • Buidling Trust Through Marital Communication

    Do you keep things from your spouse, not communicate for fear of being rejected or dismissed? You can't bond appropriately with your spouse if you are not willing to open up and allow them to know you, to get close to you and who you are. Trust comes from allowing your spouse to know you inside and out and your spouse reciprocating.

    Communication is an important way to relieve stress and build a healthier bond between couples. If you don't feel comfortable communicating with your spouse this could be a sign that you feel a lack of trust in your spouse. A marriage can't survive where there are issues of trust.

    Few marriages avoid marital problems that violate trust. If you are married, you will have marital problems. The key to working through and maintaining a healthy level of trust is...post continued

  • Setting Boundaries With The Midlife Crisis Spouse

    The concept of "boundaries," what they are and how to implement them can be confusing. I remember having a Home Economics teacher in High School who told the class that when you marry, you and your spouse become one.

    Even at 17 years old I knew there was no way I could "become one" with another human being. That I had a sense of self and giving up that would be detrimental emotionally. Often in marriage the lines are skewed, one spouse's sense of self becomes entangled with that of their spouse.

    It is easy to lose sight of what is oneself and what isn't oneself. In other words, couples tend to take on responsibilities for the other that are not theirs to take on. They become enmeshed emotionally and there are no boundaries that protect each from the other's hurtful behavior.

    Below Are A Few Suggestions For Setting Boundaries With Your Midlife Crisis Spouse:

    Your spouse is an individual who takes responsibility for his/her own behaviors. Once you define what you are responsible for and what he/she is responsible for you no longer have to own anyone's behaviors but your own.

    For example, if your midlife crisis spouse is drinking heavily and allowing it to interfere his/her ability to work it is not your responsibility to cover for him/her. When a spouse goes through a midlife crisis it is easy to enable their bad behavior by...continue post

  • How to Survive Your Spouse's Midlife Crisis

    Some people manage to navigate a midlife crisis, learn from it and move on to a more rewarding life. Then there are those who turn into a person you don't know, take up with another man/woman and inflict enormous pain on their family.

    Whether your spouse works through their midlife crisis without doing much harm or turns into a bull in a china shop and destroys everything, they will go through changes. Changes that will leave you confused and wondering what you can do to help yourself and your spouse and hopefully save your marriage.

    This article is about helping yourself survive your spouse's midlife crisis. If it helps your spouse, great. If it saves your marriage, great. The only way you are going to be of any help to your spouse or possibly save your marriage is to learn how you can navigate their crisis without it costing you too much emotionally.

    Focus On Yourself And Your Children:

    It may seem impossible to not try to control your spouse's actions during a midlife crisis. You aren't doing your spouse or yourself any favor when you become obsessed with what they are doing or thinking. You have no control over what your spouse does or doesn't do. You do, however have complete control over what you do or don't do.

    So, take my advice and focus on things that are within your control. If you are over-thinking your spouse's problems, you are filling your head with...post continued

  • Benny Hinn to Divorce

    Benny Hinn a well-known televangelist has been served with divorce papers by his wife of 30 years, Suzanne. Papers were filed February 1, in Orange County Superior Court. The Hinns have been married for thirty years and have three daughters and one son.

    According to his website, Pastor Hinn is an advocate of the "Prosperity Gospel" in which supporters believe that faith works as a power of force. That through faith they can obtain anything they want...health, wealth and personal success. According to Pastor Hinn if a person expresses their faith by "sowing" a sufficient monetary seed into his ministry, the person will be granted divine healing and wealth.

    Pastor Hinn has prospered, so much so that Senator Charles Grassly of Iowa, the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee is investigating Hinn and five other televangelists for possible financial misconduct.

    Could it be that Suzanne Hinn has decided to abandon ship before it sinks? Divorce now and get her share of Pastor Hinn's assets before the IRS is able to step in and stake a claim of their own.
