			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://askjohnlott.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/cheat_partner.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-15" style="margin: 5px 15px;" title="cheat_partner" src="http://askjohnlott.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/cheat_partner.jpg" alt="cheat_partner" width="400" height="290" /></a>Cheating a partner is not only applicable to men.  It could also happen to women.  Though, in reality, a higher percentage of cheating goes to men.  Most women who cheat on their husband or boyfriend usually have certain reasons of doing so.  While men sometimes cheat their partner for no reason at all.  They simply do it just for fun.  As they say, boys will always be boys.  Let’s find out some of the common reasons why some people cheat on their partner.</p>
<p>One reason a man or woman cheats on his or her partner is falling out of love.  Some people who fall out of love with their partner cannot tell directly his or her real feelings for him or for her.  Maybe because the concerned partner is afraid of hurting the other partner.  That is why he or she pretends that everything is well and okay.  As a result, this partner is tempted to cheat on his or her spouse.</p>
<p>Lack of communication can also be a reason why one partner cheats on the other.  Even if both of you are living together in the same house, but you have a communication gap, most likely, one of you will be tempted to enter a secret love affair.  Talking to your partner should always be on top of your list.  The purpose of having a partner in life is for you to have somebody to talk to and share your problems with, so why not be open with whatever it is that needs to be discussed and resolved.</p>
<p>Another is distance.  Long distance love affair usually does not succeed.  Because of the distance, one partner may be tempted to cheat on his or her partner.  There are times that we seek for our partner’s love and affection.  And since he or she is not around and somebody is keeping an eye on us, we sometimes get tempted.</p>
<p>Some people cheat their partner simply to experience sexual fulfillment without any attachments.  This is commonly referred to as a “one night stand”.  This is usually committed by men because they have a tendency to be adventurous in terms of the sexual drive and wants.  Sometimes, husbands are ashamed to sexually explore their wives because they think that they are being disrespectful.  That is why, they resort to pay a woman just to have fun in sex.</p>
<p>Another reason why men cheat is because a woman’s sex drive is no longer the same as it was when they first get married.  Men are perceived to be sexually attached.  They cannot live without sex.  When a husband feels that his wife is no longer portraying her role as a sex partner, he tends to get bored.  And when he feels boredom, he would then think of something new and exciting.  Searching or looking for a woman who can satisfy his sexual desire may come in hand.  Craving for the initial excitement and secret affair may do happen.</p>
<p>Men cheat on their partner simply just to stray outside of long-term relationships.  They want to remember what it was like being free, single, desirable and unattached. They wanted to experience the fun that they once had without thinking of the negative outcome on such action.</p>
<p>Some people cheat their partner simply because they want to.  They do it just for fun, especially men.  When they are with their friends and after drinking too much liquor, some men are tempted to look for women to satisfy them with their sexual desire at that very moment.  Some men cheat because they are not yet ready to have commitments. While some just like to have various sex partners.  They would be very happy and contented to use or have sex with different women.  Men with low self-esteem think that having sex with more than one woman is an ego boost.</p>
<p>Whatever the reason behind cheating one&#8217;s partner, may this not happen to many of us.  We should think of many ways to solve this kind of problem and build a harmonious relationship with our respective partners in life. There is no such thing as an excuse when one cheats.  So, avoid doing it and never be tempted at all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://askjohnlott.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/money.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-10" style="margin: 5px 15px;" title="money" src="http://askjohnlott.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/money.jpg" alt="money" width="400" height="290" /></a>There are so many things that need to be bought or paid nowadays electricity, water supply, food and gasoline, these are some of the things that we usually need in order for us to survive our daily lives. Without these so called necessities, we wouldn’t be able to do our roles normally. We need to have enough money to continually supply ourselves with our needs and wants. It is difficult to live in a world where money almost runs everything. In order for us to enjoy or access items and services we need to pay, and we usually need to spend everyday to live. We need to look for a good source of income for us to be able to receive payments and live adequately. Usually what we purchase or spend is much greater than what we receive from working. Items that are sold become too expensive and continue to increase in cost. Our money becomes inadequate to avail other necessary goods and this becomes a major problem of most.</p>
<p>Nowadays, prices have dramatically increased and this becomes a signal for most to tighten their budget. One needs to carefully plan out things in dealing with money and needs to make a prioritization of goods that is most necessary to them, in order to avoid overspending. In this way, money would be spent wisely and appropriately. Others opt for ways to make the most out of their money by engaging in many profits inducing activities like retail and other forms of business. Those who engage in these activities usually become successful with their endeavor in increasing their income.</p>
<p>We usually crave for a lot of things, and, even if we do not have the money to buy such things, we still force ourselves to look for ways in order to get what we want. Whenever we get to experience problems financially, we try our very best to support ourselves and go to job hunting or do productive things just to have money, but usually we end up failing and seek financial support to our loved ones and relatives. These are the individuals whom we can easily approach in times of crisis and difficulties. Those individuals who are faced with much greater problems that involves a greater amount of money, end up using their own personal assets including their properties like lands, houses and cars. They sell their properties in exchange for money to solve financial problems.</p>
<p>Aside from these ways of having money, those who are interested, go for loans. Loans are debts and this allows the person to borrow an amount of money. This can be any amount and usually those who lend are using the money for housing, business and other big time activities. Of course, it’s not immediate when you engage in loans because before they grant the amount, they still need to consider the capabilities of the borrower to pay basing on the borrower’s monthly salary. There are certain requirements to be submitted and thorough assessment to check if the borrower is telling the truth about the usage of the money. There are also those who apply for credit cards. Credit cards allow individuals to buy what they want immediately and get to pay for it in another day. These debts that the individual used will be paid in a specific time frame. There are definitely many advantages in engaging in transactions that help us with our finances, and we should always bear in mind that upon borrowing the amount of money, it should be a duty of the borrower to pay the amount promptly. The person involved should also be aware that if there are advantages, there are also negative outcomes in these transactions. One is that the owner of the credit card might spend too much that it would be difficult for him to pay. This will add up to their problems and give them a headache in looking for another solution. Those who engage in business do not have the assurance that the business will prosper and instead of providing relief it will be a burden to the person.</p>
<p>Money is really important in this world and since it is a part of our lives, what we should do is simply to spend it wisely.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://askjohnlott.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/mrright.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4" style="margin: 5px 15px;" title="mrright" src="http://askjohnlott.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/mrright.jpg" alt="mrright" width="250" height="375" /></a>Finding Mr. Right seems to be every lady’s dream.  However, the question is, is there really such thing as Mr. Right?  The answer greatly depends on how one sees it. Mr. Right is a result of a woman’s imagination as to the kind of man she wants to have and live with all throughout her life.  We seem to have qualifications and attributes as to the man we desire to be with.  Whatever these qualities are, what’s important is, we can get along well with the kind of man we chose and will choose.</p>
<p>There are millions and millions of men in this world that we would probably meet and know.  But, we have to accept the fact, that only a few of them can we consider as Mr. Right or Mr. Perfect.  It is very impossible for us, ladies, to meet all the men in this world.  We can be close only to those men whom we see often and whom we can have direct contact with.  Like for example, our officemates, friends, neighbors, club members and the like.  We must remember that finding Mr. Right does not really mean that the guy is perfect and has no negative attributes.  Mr. Right actually means the right kind of guy for a particular lady.  He can be an engineer, a doctor, a teacher, a mailman, a messenger, a driver, an architect, a lawyer or whatsoever.  He is also the kind of man that a certain woman longs for and dreams of to live until the end of time.</p>
<p>Finding Mr. Right is not as easy as we could imagine.  We have to consider many things and possibilities.  Ladies have to go to places where there are a lot of men. And where there is a great possibility of entertaining and meeting men.  We can watch sporting events; go to concerts or festivals; attend birthday, wedding, baptismal parties or any party.  Furthermore, we have to be open to friends of our friends. Who knows, our friend’s friend is the right guy for us. We also have to think of the kind of man we want to attract.  So that, by the time we see such man, we would not have a hard time realizing that we are attracted to that particular guy.</p>
<p>When we finally find our so called “Mr. Right”, we have to consider and pay close attention to his personal qualities, behavior and attributes.  Finding Mr. Right is not only limited to the outside appearance of the guy, but most importantly, on his attitude. We should know the guy by heart. We should know his personal background, his family background, his values and goals in life, his dreams and aspirations.  Getting to know well the guy is a very serious matter.  We do not want to fall in love with a guy, who can only give us problems and pains in the end.  Instead, we want to choose a guy whom we can enjoy being with, share the same goals and values in life, can be trusted, patient, has a good sense of humor, respectful, loving and all those qualities a woman dream of for a guy to possess.  We should not be blinded with love.  We should be wise in our decision and think of our future if we choose such a particular guy. We should always be open-minded and think of the pros and cons a guy could give us. Also, it is important for us to trust our instincts.  And the greatest of all is, to trust in the Lord always.  He is forever there for us and nothing is impossible with Him.  He never leaves us in the dark.  And He never desserts us.</p>
