Making Up Again!

The longer you’ve been with somebody the more casual life can seem. It’s easy to slip into your own wants, needs, and goals and sort of lose that initial ambition that you had when it was the two of you against the world. Today, more couples are just drifting apart because they forget to include each other in their plans and goals and they forget how to be supportive.

Each partner has their own ideas of success, what it means to take on life, and what is expected of them. Some partners measure success by the amount of money they can spend on electronics, and they literally feel on top of the world when toys like a Panasonic 1080p plasma TV replaces the old TV. Other partners keep themselves buried in anti aging skin cream and beauty cosmetics in order to feel as though they are still thriving in the world.

Is this to say that men have it easier in the relationship? Some people think so. Despite some of the fantastic leaps forward that women have experienced, there is still a rather common idea that women have to work harder, do more, and look better than men. Men just have to buy really cool toys. Is this true?

There are many family lifestyles that can fit into this notion. Women have become almost iconic and are slated to make sure they remain wrinkle free until the day they die if they are successful. Other families want the wrinkle free woman as well as a six figure income plus parenting abilities all from the same woman. Roles are still alive and well in our society.

Long term relationships are not always passionate and wildly maddening the way they are in the beginning, but keeping the relationship stoked while you keep your autonomy is part of living in a successful relationship. It’s not always easy to come out of your own head and pay attention to the situation at hand.

It’s not so much about compromise, like people say. It’s more about supporting. There is no reason that one partner has to give up something so the other can have it. Rather, it is more about finding a way that both can have what they want. In a supportive relationship each half of the relationship ends up feeling pretty good about the overall result.

Because a relationship is made up of two unique people, there is a certain amount of natural separation that will occur. Over time, you still have to bring it back around to support and understanding if you want it to stand the test of time.

Do you believe that gums must recede as we age? If you do, then it might seem natural to you to lose teeth. I have known people in their late 80′s and I am surprised to see that they still have their complete set of teeth. They say that they have been very cautious when it comes to the food they intake and with proper home care.

Funny how some elderly would stick out their dentures and scare their grand children away – happy bonding time with the family, something really worth reminiscing. But do you know that there is more to life than just making the children in your family have a good time when they see you play with your dentures? Besides brushing and flossing, have you tried the hydrofloss yet? 

Perhaps you are making it appealing to them so that they tend to like the idea or at least accept that they would lose their teeth one by one. I have actually asked a child who had his first permanent molar extracted at the age of 12. Imagine how many years more he has to live without his first molar. This does not bother him as he is actually enjoying the idea that he may soon wear dentures. Wouldn’t it be better to use a mouthwash like therabreath?

Some patients sound weird as they talk to the receptionist that they are having several incisors extracted due to little discolorations. I thought to myself, I am so fortunate to have mine complete never having to undergo multiple extractions and never ever considering having one. Essential oils, like those in Oramd may be helpful. 

And I realized that the greatest secret of the successful ones is that they meticulously cared for their teeth throughout their lifetime. You don’t have to lose your teeth as you grow old. Gum recession does not have to be part of the aging process.
