[B691]Birth Order And Relationships
by Garret 50 Bolthouse50, Gar
With the divorce rate being as high as it is in the United States, there are still plenty of people out there trying to help couples stay together through the good times and the bad. Many couples who actually make it past five years can count themselves lucky and anyone who speaks with a counsellor when troubles arise stands a better chance of making through. One of those successful counsellors is Dr. Kevin Leman, an internationally known psychologist, media personality, motivational speaker and author of twenty-five published books whose topics range from child-rearing, healthy sex lives, and marriage.

Holding a Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctorate in clinical psychology, Kevin Leman was one of the first to popularize concepts initially discovered and researched by Dr. Alfred Adler, a renown psychologist and contemporary of Dr. Sigmund Freud. Adler is most famous for the inferiority complex concept that discusses self-esteem and how it can be impacted. The theories behind Adler’s research are based on family dynamics and where people end up in life based on the order in which they were born. Leman uses these theories in the many seminars and lectures that he gives around the world.

He is the founder and president of MatchWise.com, a Christian dating service that is online and also based on his research regarding birth order. The site, which was designed for Christians in America, offers people of the faith a chance to meet others in a safe environment where scammers, foreigners, sleaze, garbage and surprises are not tolerated. Compatibility questions are based on the family birth-order theory. Leman also founded and is the president of “Couples of Promise". This organization is committed to helping people stay married and members of the organization participate in a cruise once a year.

Leman is very down to earth and his seminars are considered not only educational, but also entertaining as he uses his wit to teach people some common sense psychology. He has been featured on television shows such as Oprah, CBS’s The Early Show, Today, The View, and has acted as the consulting family psychologist to the ever popular Good Morning America.

He is also the host of the RealityTalks television show that is shown on FamilyNet affiliated stations, i-LifeTV, and the NRB network. Working with Dr. Jay Passavant, a pastor and family counsellor, they tackle everyday relationship and family issues. Some of their recent episodes have covered topics such as learning how to trust, women in abusive relationships, cheating, talking to your children, and intimacy.

Dr. Leman’s work has been recognized around the world and he was honoured with the Alumni Achievement Award from the University of Arizona, the highest award the institution gives. Originally from Williamsville, New York, he is happily married and lives in Tucson with his wife and is the proud father of five children.

All of Kevin Leman’s material can be purchased online through his website, the RealityTalks website or through Amazon.com. Leman and his wife Sande will also be attending the “Couples of Promise" 2008 cruise.

The fact is, how we were raised is a big influence on how we behave today as adults. But there is also the fact that where we were in the lineage of our siblings played a big part in how we were treated as children and what was expected of us as we grew.

It is not a secret that in many families the first born is treated in a much different manner than, say, the last born. Throughout history and throughout most cultures this holds true. And it has not changed all that much in recent times.

To say or to believe that birth order has no influence on how we are treated as children is simply to ignore something that has proven itself to be historically correct for generations.

On the surface, birth order may not seem like such a big deal, especially in modern times when we are all expected to rise to our own levels of success in both work and relationships. After all, isn’t it we who decide who we want to be? Yes and no.

Yes, we can often decide that we are not happy with the person we see ourselves as, and wish to make changes to better improve ourselves. No, in that it is often easier said than done. In many cases, we are talking about core values and core attitudes that are as much a part of our being as the color of our eyes. These are deep rooted issues, and like all things deep, they can be hard to get to without some help.

There is a new publication available, WHO AM I?, that attempts to help people identify their issues and show them constructive and productive ways to address those issues and to, ultimately, move forward with their lives.

The e book WHO AM I? explores the many reasons why we have the various attitudes and behaviors we have. Some of these attitudes and behaviors can be detrimental to our own well-being, as well as to our relationships with other people, be they family members, friends, or co-workers.

The information also delves into some solutions that we can use to better bring ourselves into line with what we believe is our true, inner self. This is the person we want to be, that unique person that we see ourselves as when we see ourselves in a good and positive light.

Of the many self-help books out there today, this one looks at our personal challenges through the sibling issue, the birth order issue that, frankly, is one of the most important aspects and influences of our lives.
You can read reviews and testimonials of this groundbreaking book at the website , as well as explore some of the other areas that tie into this issue.
