Reletionships and Self Help

If we knew everything when it came to relationships, we al would have successful ones right? The truth is, we don't. Some of us claim to, but truth is, we know is 30% Experience and 10% common sense and know how AND 60% advice. WHere did I derive those figures from? Well let's see. 30% Experience..one would think that an individual would have more experience. Of course they do, however how many of us knock our hard heads against the wall, knowing it hurts only to turn around and do it again, and again and again? Some of us repeat experience, so no matter how many years we repeat the same cycle, we don't get any addition points from something we've already experienced. 10% common sense? Hmmmm. Now that's common sense. Common sense tells us that there are just standards that we do and don't do in a relationship. Now if you don't have common sense to know that, then you may want to pray to God for a little more common sense. 70% advice. I like this one because whether you realize it or not, when you ask someone their opinion or when you read a book and derive something new that is considered advice. I'm not one to knock self help or advice. After all I WAS married for fifteen years and still don't know everything. One of the things I have found is that people change, things change; simply put TIMES change. What worked for you 20, 10 or even 5 years ago, MAY not work for you now. What worked on Tom. Dick and Harry, may not work for Jamal. You get my point right? I'd be interested in hearing what you think about this subject. Some books that I do recommend for those who love to read self help books are: 1) How to Love A Black Man by Dr. Ronn Emore 2) How to Love A Black Woman by Dr. Ronn Elmore (with the help of his wife Mrs. Elmore) 3) What Every Man Wants John Hagee 4) What Every Woman Wants by Diana Hagee 5) God Is In The Bedroom too by PB Wilson 6) What A Man Wants, What A Woman Needs by Bishop Eddie Long 7) Sex Begins in The Kitchen by Dr. Kevin Leman.
