Greg S. Baker has been counseling relationships for over a decade. His success in this field has largely come through his understanding of communication and expression. People communicate all the time, but either it is misunderstood or it is not listened to. Pastor Baker has developed techniques and methods in this area to assist in the struggles that many people have in this area of communication.

To this end, he has written a book on the subject to help promote and strengthen communication and expression in relationships. The book, 'Fitly Spoken', is an intense study on human communication and social skills. Subjects range from dealing with and handling arguments to communication between the sexes. It is available in both printed and electronic versions.

If you or someone you know is having a midlife crisis, then you may want to know how to properly deal with it. This period in a person's life is extremely dangerous. They can become depressed, disillusioned with life, and even quit things or relationships they should not. Primarily, a midlife crisis is caused by two realizations: 1. The realization that they haven't accomplished much or anything that is truly worthwhile. 2. The realization that they probably have fewer years ahead of them then they do behind them.

In Christianity, faith is the principle upon which we build our relationship with God. It is the key to experiencing God, seeing the hand of God in our lives, and fulfilling the purpose for which God made us. But many Christians struggle with the idea and concept of faith. This article will help. The most famous Bible verse regarding the definition of faith is the one found in Hebrews 11. Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. The word ‘hope’ is the key to knowing if you have faith or not.

For some reason, many couples find that much of the intrigue and interest in their relationship dwindled after marriage. One reason may be that the effort of pursuit and being pursued as evidenced by dating is no longer a part of the couples’ lives. Dating, at least once a week, will renew the excitement and interest in a marriage. WHY DATING IS IMPORTANT FOR THE MARRIED COUPLE Before marriage, dating was about pursuing and being pursued. Typically, a man pursued a woman by wooing her and by treating her well within the context of the date.

I’ve counseled and been the pastor of marriages for years. In all that time, I have come to realize what makes a successful marriage. Any marriage, and I mean any marriage, that follows these ten principles will be successful. Yes, these are Christian principles. Here are the Ten Principles for a successful marriage. A summary of each will follow: - Unless God is allowed to be the Chief Architect of my marriage, I can’t get the marriage I want. (Psalms 127:1, 128:1-6) - Communication is the medium through which all love, growth, and grace must flow.

For years, as a Pastor and counselor, I've had to figure out how to save someone's marriage. Here is a short formula that I use to find out where the problems may truly lie, and knowing them, I can recommend a plan on what needs to be done to fix the broken relationship. You can follow it for yourself right now. This process is best done with an impartial third party, whose sole interest is your marriage, not taking sides. However, if there is no one to do that, the couple could follow this procedure separately and then trade results.

Many relationships have been destroyed over the jealousy issue. However, sometimes it isn't so much jealousy but envy and covetousness that is the real root of the problem. Here is a brief definition of each before we get into a lager discussion of these. Jealousy - The fear of losing something that you feel already belongs to you. Covetousness - The desire of that which is not yours and currently unattainable as it belongs to someone else or lies outside your ability to get.

Have you ever been misunderstood, taken the wrong way, or categorized and stereotyped incorrectly? Find out why this happens and what you can do to be perceived correctly by those around you. WORDS DEFINE YOUR PERSONALITY Essentially, you define yourself to those around you by the words you use. People do judge you by the words that come out of your mouth.

The average household will go into some sort of debt in order to keep up with their ideas of providing a good Christmas for their children. In stable economic times, it took most people six months to pay off their Christmas debt and many, around 1 in 4 according to some statistics, will still be paying off their debt by the time the next Christmas rolls around.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Greg Baker

"Life is relationships. It's not your house, your car, your bank account, or even your esperiences. Life is the relationships you have and someone to share what you have and the experiences that go with them."

"Faith is an essential element to human development. It provides purpose and direction beyond our scope and natural boundaries. It allows us to live larger than life where life is worth living for. Jesus Christ is the author of my faith."

"Communication is the bedrock of all relationships. Over 95% of relationship issues are due to a misunderstanding in communication."

"We are defined more by what we say than by what we do. People always use our actions to verify and substantiate our words, never the other way around. People judge us by the words we say."

"Words convey three things. First, they convey meaning. Secondly, they convey intent. Thirdly, they convey an idea. The power of a single word can have ramifications for generations."

"Truly, life and death are in the power of the tongue."

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotte Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." – John 3:16
