... relationship counselor, marital counselor, couples counselor in the philippines ... (life coach, psychotherapist, psychologist, psychiatrist)

. 
gretchen malalad- karate black belter, beauty queen, and tv field reporter was my partner in the "he says, she says" portion of the JCI's metro area conference.
.
i was tasked to give a brief talk on love and relationships and expounded on the following points:


  • opposites attract but repel each other in the long run.

  • men are naturally polygamous, their behaviors controlled only by religion and laws.

  • love is not equivalent to faithfulness.  your partner may truly love you and truly love others as well.

  • the qualities or traits which you don't like in your partner before marriage only worsen after marriage.

  • if you don't want to be hated, stop nagging!

  • the best predictor of future infidelity is your partner's track record of unfaithfulness.

  • the fewer the expectations or demands on your partner, the lesser the conflict.

  • if you've broken up twice, forget it, you're not meant for each other.

  • if you are a martyr in a relationship, you definitely need professional help.

  • if you suspect that your partner is playing around, it's most probably true.

  • we usually fall in love with someone with the traits of our dad or mom to perpetuate their mistakes and dysfunctional patterns.

  • it's useless to stop men from philandering if they're still enjoying it.

  • choose to be happy, with or without a partner. the "you complete me" line is candy-coated crap.

.
the talk sparked a lively and heated discussion between the men and women in the group which, just proves that men are really from mars and women? from venus!
