I was reading movie reviews when I first heard about the film War Room. My first thought was how I couldn't believe that a Christian movie about praying with a purpose could make it into mainstream theaters. But my second thought was, "Yes!"

Because even though the war room metaphor is not something I'd ever have come up with on my own, it still makes sense to me. When you want something you have to work hard at it, and working hard is easier when God is on your side. You have to feel like God is working with you in order to keep yourself going. You have to be able to think, "Me and God want this," not just, "I want this."

My prayer plan for getting a relationship back together is the kind of battle plan this movie is talking about. I haven't seen War Room yet but already I understand it. You want to get back with your ex... you're not sure how to do it... but God knows. You need to talk to Him about it. Get His guidance.

I wrote With God Behind You because I knew there had to be a lot of people who miss their ex, and want their life to be like it was, and want to pray to the Lord to make that happen, but don't know how. Don't know what to say. Never really had to pray for something so important before. I hope they go see this movie and see prayer in practice, and learn how prayer is more powerful than they ever imagined.

Should you break no contact?

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so if you want to get your ex back you should try as hard as you can not to break no contact.

Getting back together after a mutual breakup

Is it a good idea to try to get your ex back after a mutual breakup?

...The voices of friends and family can complicate the situation. If your ex was very close to your family they'll have plenty to say once you tell them you broke up. How could you let this happen?

With children involved, the No Contact Rule is hard to follow...

Getting your ex to forgive you

You can get your ex to forgive you, but when you ask your ex might not grant you forgiveness or a 2nd chance right away.

It happens: You commit some terrible offense against your partner and it results in an emotional fight and a huge breakup.

Truth is, people make mistakes within their relationships all the time. It's normal. And people forgive each other too, but sometimes that takes a while. You can get your second chance but your partner might not be able to give it to you right away.

First, you need to back away from the situation. Allow some time to pass... and devote a little of that time to learning how to ask for forgiveness. Your ex might take you back if you are convincing enough about being sorry and wanting your relationship to be saved.

A getting back together success story

From Getting Back Together Success Stories

Probably my favorite example of a couple who've broken up and then created a very public "Getting back together success story" is singing superstar Pink, and hubby Carey Hart.

The couple met back in 2001 at the X Games. After a passionate 4 year relationship singer Pink (Alecia Moore) proposed to Hart while he took part in a Motocross race. She held up a sign in the pit lane which read, "Will you marry me?"

Hart obviously thought his girl was pulling his leg, until she held up another sign which read, "I'm serious".

Using reverse psychology in your relationships

From Reverse psychology in relationships:

Before you can put reverse psychology into practice, you first have to understand what it actually is. If used incorrectly it simply won't work, or could end up making a situation worse.

Simply put, reverse psychology is the mind-bending technique of giving somebody the impression you want a particular outcome, when in fact you want the opposite.

How to stop thinking about your ex

From Stop Thinking About Your Ex:

The dust has settled, the tears have dried (sort of!), and it's been a few weeks since you and your partner ended your relationship.

Life should be getting back to normal, but no matter how hard you try you can't stop thinking about your ex.

Wherever you go, whatever you do, there they are at the back of your mind. Taunting you with happy memories of time spent together. Reminding you of all the good times, and constantly replaying the moment you went your separate ways like a broken record.

You know you can't carry on this way, but how are you going to shake these feelings?

Training Small Dogs... a favor for a friend

Training small dogs requires a lot of patience and discipline. A step-by-step dog training program will teach you how to give your dog specific commands to follow. When your dog listens to you and follows orders, let the dog know he/she is being a good dog and reinforce this by giving them a tasty treat. When your dog disobeys or ignores you, they get nothing. Deep down, your pet really wants to please you, and they'll get the message that good behavior brings them rewards. Soon, all of the unruly behavior will be gone and you and your dog will be great pals again.

"After an affair" reviews from Ruth

Ruth has added a couple of really great reviews over at the main site. They're reviews of two different books -- really "programs" or "systems" -- that help you work through the aftermath of your husband's affair. The target audience is women who want to stay married.

The first is a review of How to Survive an Affair by Dr. Frank Gunzburg.

The second is a review of Affair Repair by Kara Oh.

Both reviews... you can really tell that Ruth has actually read both books and understands their pros and cons.

Ruth also did a page that compares the two: Two Guaranteed Ways to Save Your Marriage After an Affair.

I'm really proud of how her part of the site is coming along.

Should I contact my ex girlfriend

New article Should I Contact My Ex Girlfriend covers whether you should contact your ex girlfriend in 3 different timeframes since your breakup. From the section on breakups more than a year old:

"What if you are well past the initial stages of a breakup? What if it already has been months or even years since you last had contact with your ex?

Let’s take the most extreme scenario first. If it’s been a year or more since you last contacted your girlfriend, honestly I think even if she hated your guts when you broke up, it’s okay to contact her now."

Read the rest...

Believe it. The first step on the road to getting your ex back is: No Contact.

Believe it. The first step on the road to getting your ex back is: No Contact.

Doesn't that make sense? Don't you need time and distance to...
-Understand what went wrong?
-Heal your current pain so you can think straight?
-Evaluate your current situation, and make a plan? And then,
-Execute that plan?

But still, you have questions.

How long do you have to wait before you make contact again? How do you go about it? And what do you do in the meantime? To get the answers, you need an in-depth, thoroughly-documented technique to GET YOUR EX BACK!
