nothing/ We'll never be the in-between/ So give it up" 
by John Mayer.

Saturday outings, you've share it all. Both of you share almost everything under the
 sun with each other, even the guy or girl you have dated. He has all the traits of a good 
guy friend. Then all of a sudden from nowhere, you see a change in both of you. You both
 don't realize it, but you've started caring about each other a little more and differently
 than ever. This is where you are caught up, between whether you like him as a friend 
or boyfriend.

 for your friend.

 differently than others. There is a romantic sense of belonging now that you

The ultimate gift you give to another won't cost you a cent. Put away your credit cards; you won't need them when shopping for the ideal gift. You already have it, it's a unique gift, and it's waiting to be given. The ultimate gift is your unconditional love.

The Ideal Gift

Unconditional love is an ideal gift because it also benefits the gift giver. Giving unconditional love can help you be happier, healthier, and live longer.

What is Love?

Everyone has love to give. It's an inexhaustible resource, the equivalent of being independently wealthy. The more love you give, the more you have. It never runs out. Love tends to defy specific description, yet is well understood when experienced.
Most of the world's religions espouse love, forgiveness, and generosity. Followers are urged to give with the promise of future heavenly rewards. Now scientific research studies support what religion has been urging. Scientists find that generous loving behaviors bring us benefits in this lifetime, too. Those who give generously with a sincere intention of helpfulness are happier, healthier, and live longer.

Stephen Post's Research Findings

A Christian Science Monitor web article of July 25, 2007 reports some 500 studies have shown the power of unselfish love. "It's abundantly clear from a number of studies that people who live generous lives also live happier lives," says Stephen Post, bioethicist, Case Western Reserve University.
The study findings include:
  • Generous behavior reduces depression and risk of suicide in adolescents.
  • Actively helping others during the teenage years promotes good physical and mental health all the way into late adulthood.
  • Volunteerism on the part of older adults significantly reduces mortality.
  • Giving to others enables people to forgive themselves for mistakes, a key element in well-being.
  • Praying for others reduces health difficulties among older adults.

Love is Free and Abundant

The fascinating aspect of love and giving is that it is within the power and ability of each of us. We each have an inexhaustible storehouse of love. We're born with a never-dwindling supply of love, like an inexhaustible bag of gold in a fairy tale. And the storehouse doors are easily opened wide with an action available to all of us--the decision to love unconditionally.

Giving your unconditional love is a freeing experience because it requires giving up your judgement of others. It involves loving others just because you've decided to love, rather than because of what another person does or doesn't do.

Begin Giving the Ultimate Gift

Start your journey on the path of unconditional love with your closest relationship. It doesn't matter if this is a romantic relationship or a parental, sibling, community, or professional relationship. Decide right now to feel love for the person you've picked, regardless of their behavior. Focus on the characteristics of this person that you most admire. And keep those in mind even as you observe their idiosyncrasies.
Expand your decision to love unconditionally once you recognize the way it eases your life and boosts your feeling of well being. Then extend your gift of love to all living beings, human, animal, plant, and beyond.

Love of Self

One cautionary note, giving unconditional love does not mean that you submit to abusive behavior, verbal or physical. Loving yourself, too, means that you separate yourself from those whose behavior is hurtful, loving, but from a distance.

5 Financial Miscues in the Name of Love (part 1)


True Love  means never having to say you're sorry. Or, alternately: "I'm taking you to court because you've ruined me financially."
When a couple is in love (or at least think they are part of something destined for "happily ever after"), the temptation is to share and share alike. What's mine is yours -- "mi dinero, su dinero."
Sadly, intertwined finances can be disastrous if the relationship does fray. In fact, money problems can be the source of friction that sours a relationship.
"I really think that people's emotions can override their common sense," says Gail Cunningham, of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling , the nation's longest-serving nonprofit credit counseling organization. "When you are in love you can look at life with rose-colored glasses if you want to, but don't look at your finances with them on. Make financial decisions with your head, not your heart."
The following are five ways couples can set each other up for financial woes:
Co-signing a loan 
On the surface, co-signing a Loan for your beloved may seem the right thing to do. Your partner might need to buy a new car or get a student loan. The former may be a necessity, the latter something that can offer a significant upside for your future together.
Be wary, though. It is not just your signature on a piece of paper. There are repercussions that can hurt your finances and creditworthiness for years to come.
Your significant other might be a wonderful person and seemingly responsible. But be honest with yourself: There is a reason they needed to ask for a co-signer. If it is because they don't earn enough to qualify, what makes you think they can handle an additional monthly bill? If past credit problems makes getting a loan on their own impossible, that may very well be a portent of how seriously (or not) they treat their responsibility to creditors and, by extension, you.
If your partner defaults on the loan, whether or not you are still a couple, you will be on the hook. Debt collectors will typically go after low-hanging fruit when they look to recoup money; if they think your former love can't, or won't, pay up, they are going to set their sights on you.
Not only will you have bill collectors hounding you, but your credit rating will suffer. Even if your partner does make reliable payments, you may feel a pinch. Even if it is not "your" loan, in the eyes of the credit agencies being a co-signer means it can be treated as such for your ratio of debt to credit.
Paying their bills 
In most relationships, one party will out-earn the other. Setting aside the prospect of bruised egos, there is an even bigger worry to be had.
Especially with young couples, one or both parties may be a bit immature when it comes to bill paying. Perhaps mom and dad always took care of such things. Or maybe there is the thought that your relationship is a trial run for marriage, when it doesn't really matter who pays for what? Well, it does matter. Couples need to carefully think about when, how or if they should pool resources into joint accounts. Before decisions are made, make sure to have a serious, detailed discussion about each other's financial history, future prospects and attitudes about spending and saving.
