Snow White
I need some help with a bit of research I am doing. If any of our readers have ever seen or heard Snow White, Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty on Oprah, Bill Good or Jerry Springer, please let me know.
You might think Snow White would be a great guest: she was born into royalty, her Mum died, then she was forced by her step-mother to be a scullery maid, that same step- mother later abandoned her in the woods. Snow White became a housekeeper to seven dwarfs, poisoned, died (don’t know if she saw the light or went through the tunnel), kissed back to life and went on to live happily ever after. Now there’s someone that earned the right to a book, no wonder she had her own movie…
Snow White and her Prince went onto live happily ever after, but we never really hear what happened the next day, month or year.
I guess some of us can relate to some of this, as we grow up having our own life experiences, and meet our prince charming and fall madly in love. Then we spend thousands and thousands of dollars and hours on the perfect fairy tale ball, that we call a wedding. Once the wedding is over, we ride off into the sunset on our white horse to the land of marriage: a beautiful world of love, romance and eternal bliss.
Director: CUT
It’s a FAIRY TALE…which means it isn’t true.
90% of North Americans get married
50% of those marriages end in divorce
The average Canadian wedding costs $20,000.00 - $30,000.00
The average divorce costs taxpayers $25,000 - $30,000.00
I am certain that these numbers are so high due to lack of education, and the illusion that happily ever after will just happen. Studies show that couples who complete marriage preparation programs are 30% less likely to divorce.
Chances are nobody ever sat you down and said, ‘Here are some ideas for when you experience conflict, fear, pain of a broken heart, or how to parent or co-parent.’ I know that I was never offered an opportunity to create my long term vision or set up strategies for success, especially not in school.
Luckily, I still believe in happily ever after, but I don’t believe it will just happen for me or you, we need to work at it. Before we work at it, we have to learn about it.
We need to remember that men and women are different. We have different hormones, communication pathways in the brain and roles in the relationship.
Men need testosterone producing activities to feel like the protector of their women and families. Women need oxytocin producing activities to feel the love from their man and to truly feel like a princess. For example, a man will not increase his testosterone levels by doing yoga or the dishes, and you’d better believe power washing the driveway is not increasing her levels of oxytocin. So, if you want a better sex life guys, try this: You power wash the driveway, and let her run off to yoga.
Ladies, when your man says, ‘I need to think about it’, he needs to think about it. Men have only one part in the brain used to process, women have many more than one!! That’s why we can plan dinner, figure out what to wear next week, and have a conversation with our man about sex, money and the kids, all at the same time.
Research has proven over and over, that men just want to make their women happy. All you need to do is clearly tell them how.
So Ladies, let your prince charming treat you like the princess you are.
And we all lived happily ever after.
