What is Loving Wisely?
Many people believe that love should just come easy. You meet and fall in love and everything just works out when you find the right one. As statistics show, it’s not quite that way. Many of us choose people to love based on our attachment style. Without real awareness about what we bring to a relationship we may be choosing unwisely. Our attachment styles cause us to choose people whom we are drawn too based upon what are used too, not necessarily what is good for us.
Many of our emotional needs were unmet in our childhood. We search for these needs to be met by the love of our life. Often subconsciously.
We struggle to verbalize these needs directly as they are often loaded with shame. We tell ourselves we shouldn’t need to feel needy. We should just be able to be.
At Loving Wisely we believe it is your undeniable right to both be able to give and receive love the way you need it. We want to help you find and keep your love alive. This takes effort and conscious coupling.
One of our fully qualified Marriage and Family therapists will help you to identify what is getting in the way of you finding love, and help you through the dating, engagement and early years of love. We then help as unforeseen challenges come up along the way.
By having tools at the ready, couples who prepare for love from the beginning are better able to enjoy the good times while simultaneously being able to prevent certain challenges and be ready to overcome those that lie ahead.

How Do You Create the Dating Wow Factor?
Many people complain that they find their dates boring. No “Wow Factor”…“He/She has nothing interesting to share with me…He/she has no hobbies or interests…He/She talks about their parents and siblings all the time.” My question is,” What are we really waiting for? What makes any of us feel the big WOW?”
We live in a time, where it takes a lot more for us to feel the wow sensation, because we have seen/done it all. Waiting for the “wow factor” to kick in for us on a date, is a bit like waiting for Godot… it isn’t really going to come on it’s own… unless we do something to make it appear.
This may sound trite, but what if we all started to consider how we can be responsible for the wow factor on the date? What if we made it our job to create some sort of wow effect? What would we do? What could we say? How could we look? How would it happen?
How does placing the “Wow” onus on ourselves change things around? When we know how hard it is to create this effect, it makes us feel more sympathetic towards our dates. It also makes us expect less from others, which means we put less pressure on them. Can we actually create more excitement in the person we are with because now they feel the “wow” emanating from us?
For the next date we go on, let us choose one thing to make the person we are with feel “wow,” and see how that changes the date…Email me and let me know how it goes: [email protected].
