New Relationships? How to find the best partner for you in life?


Here are the most important tips you need to know.


Are you looking for love?


Do you really believe you’re ready for that next, incredible love connection?


Now here comes a tough question: Are you prepared? Ready? Do you know what it takes to be ready for the deepest of love?


For the past 30 years, number one best-selling author, counselor, minister, and master life coach David Essel has been helping people from all over the world prepare themselves for the real thing: deep, monogamous, lasting love.


Below, David offers some of the most important tips you’ll ever find in regards to being prepared for the love of your life.


“So many people today say they’re ready for love, they’re looking for love… But they’re not ready at all!


Does that surprise you?


With 80% of relationships in our country absolutely dysfunctional, it’s easy to see that most of us are not ready at all for that incredible long-term commitment that we think… We want.


Here are a few critical pointers to take deep into your conscious and subconscious mind as you prepare for your next relationship:

Number One. Are you happy single? Are you happy alone? If you’re not… read no further.


This is one of the most important keys that people forget about, you should only be looking for a relationship when you are really at peace with having no one by your side.


Now even though this is an incredibly important fact, most people when they come to me as their counselor, helping them prepare for a relationship, and I ask them why they’re looking for a new love they’ll make statements like:


“I’m tired of being alone… I’m tired of doing everything on my own… I’m tired of raising these kids by myself… I’m tired of going to parties by myself… I’m tired of having to try to pay for everything on my own… All my friends are in great relationships, I deserve to be in a great relationship too.“


Now if you look at the above we are looking at people who are unhappy, incredibly needy, and this is not the time to begin looking for a solid life partner if you feel connected to any of the above victim-like statements.


Take your time, become happy, before you even think about bringing someone else into your life, when you’re not at peace with where you are and who you are.


Number Two. Have you released all resentments, every resentment possible against former lovers?


I don’t care how much they betrayed you. How badly they hurt you emotionally or unfortunately even physically. If we don’t go into full forgiveness and release partners from the past we’re going to bring our jaded attitude, or lack of trust, into the next relationship.


In other words, your next partner is going to pay for the pain you have not released from your previous lovers.


Number Three. Have you written down your deal killers in love, those red flags that maybe were blowing in the wind in your past relationships?

Do you know what they are for you? Do you have them listed?


In our top-selling book, “Love and relationship secrets that everyone needs to know!“, We go into great detail with something I created 25 years ago called “the 3% rule of dating.“


What this rule says is, that you can have 97% compatibility with a partner, but if they have any of your deal-killers, any of the red flags of love that you’ve experienced before… The odds of the relationship working out are incredibly tiny.


Deal killers could be anything from a potential partner with small children, to someone who smokes or drinks, someone who is an emotional spender, an emotional eater… Someone who has a passive-aggressive nature… Someone who never listens to your point of view… For some people a deal-killer can be someone from a different religion, oh my Lord there are so many potential deal killers but if you don’t know what they are for you? You’re going to walk back into the same trap.


I would like to stop right here. The above is all you need to focus on to prepare yourself for a great love affair.


Find a way to become happy, right now.


Work with a professional to forgive all of your past lovers regardless of how poorly they may have treated you.


And then finally, know your red flags, know your deal-killers, and if a dating partner happens to have any of your deal killers and they refuse to let them go, then it’s time for you to exit that potential relationship and open yourself up for something very real.


Don’t follow the crowd, just because your friends and family are saying that “you’re the greatest catch in the world and how come you’re not dating”, don’t use that as peer pressure to go out and start dating.


Wait, wait, wait until you’re ready… Your patience will pay off big time.“

#1 BEST-SELLING AUTHOR, LIFE COACH & COUNSELOR DAVID ESSEL M.S. HAS BEEN SELECTED AS "THE BEST LIFE COACH IN FORT MYERS, FLORIDA" BY THE 2024 QUALITY BUSINESS AWARDS
By David Essel June 3, 2024
Even though I’ve been in this industry counseling people on sex, addiction, and porn addiction for 45 years, we have never seen the increase of these two addictions, and they can be quite different, that we’ve seen over the past five years. Porn addiction hijacks the brain, and it makes it very difficult to stay in any type of a committed relationship, because individuals become so used to the constant variety and changing of the different fetishes as well as body types and experiences that the Internet offers up even for free! SEX Addiction, when we’re talking about an individual that must have multiple partners, or someone that even forces their partner to have sex more than maybe the partner wants, it can be a completely different ball game in regard to treatment and recovery. And that’s because of the emotional involvement that many people get into when they have a sex addiction with real people, where that doesn’t happen as frequently if someone is addicted to porn, they may like certain porn actors or actresses, but they don’t create an emotional bond. But as I mentioned above, porn, addiction is nothing to take simple or easy, I have multiple clients right now in their late 20s that started their porn addiction at the age of 10 and even though they have wonderful partners they can’t have sex on a regular basis because they cannot keep an erection due to their craving for variety versus just being with one person. Every Addiction, we treat in a very similar way which might sound surprising, even our new book on permanent alcohol and life recovery, we use most of that information in that book with people who are addicted to sex or porn or food or social media or video games… I think you get the idea so many addictions when we get into treatment are treated in a very similar fashion. First we find the origin of the addiction, which means when did it start, why did it start, how did it start, and how long has it been going on? And we treat the whole person not just the Addiction part of it, because we want the whole person to gain that self-confidence back and self-love, which we lose when we’re involved with any addiction whatsoever. If you’re struggling with porn or sex addiction, go ahead and look at our permanent addiction, recovery page, study deeply study this page and that should give you some good ideas and how we approach all addictions. In 2024, the top addictions that we are working with of course are sex and porn, food, alcohol, pot and social media addiction. The addictions continue to rise in this country and until we get to the origin, which we do our practice, and then add solution steps, so people will not cross addict, or relapse, we have answers for everything. Here is a quote from a woman that I worked with several years ago who never thought she’d be able to break her sex and porn addiction as she was struggling with both. "David shared with me information that was so deep, I had no idea the difference between the porn addiction I had or the addiction I had with phone sex, or with men in general. It was a way for me to escape reality, my work demands a lot of hours, and I was using my sex and porn addiction as a way to give myself a break, sort of like a reward for all the hours I worked. However, it almost cost me my job as I started showing up late on a regular basis because I wanted to get one more orgasm at home before I left for work .” She is now free of both addictions and has been for over 15 years after going through our program. I know you’ll find the same success regardless of what type of sex or porn addiction you’re struggling with right now. Never give up! I will be by your side showing you the way, to complete freedom.
