One of the most confusing quasi-love feelings is lust. Lust is a very powerful, very intense feeling of physical attraction toward another person. Lust is mainly sexual in nature - the attraction is superficial based on instant chemistry rather than genuine caring. Usually we lust after people we do not know well, people we still feel comfortable fantasizing about. It is very common for people to confuse lust for love. But why? What is it about lust and love that make them so easy to mix up? If lust is all about sex, how can a relationship without sex be about lust? Teens struggle with this because they see lust in the Biblical sense, but lust isn't that sinister. Lust is about physical attraction and acting ONLY on physical attraction. Love is about much more than that. Yet many teens (and to be fair, many adults) confuse an intense attraction for some sort if divine love. For teens, since feelings of attraction are still new and since pop-culture sells sex and love as one package, it is very easy to get the two mixed up.

Lust is clearly not love. Love is based on more than just physical attraction. Sure, attraction is a factor, but love goes deeper than that. Love is based on caring, friendship, commitment and trust. When you are in love it is as if you have your best most trusted friend at your side AND you feel physically attracted to them. It is the best of both worlds! Love is a shared feeling between two people who have a vested interest in one anothers happiness. Love is not about jealousy. It is not about conflict. It is not about testing. Love is a positive feeling. If it is tainted by mistrust, jealousy, insecurity or spitefulness it is not really love but merely a pale copy. Love is the total surrender of your heart to another person with the security of knowing they will treat it better than you will. Love should feel good. It should not feel bad. Love should make you want to be a better person, it should not lead you to do something self destructive. Love is not demanding of your spirit but lifts it and makes it glow. Love is a good thing. Anything less is lust, deep friendship or attraction. So the sappiness aside, the question remains, how can you tell you are in love?

There is no easy way to find the truth behind your feelings or the feelings of another person but there are some tell-tale signs that love is blooming (or growing deeper). If you agree with 7 of the following 9 statements you are probably in love.

1. You know, because you have been told by your significant other, that your deep feelings are returned in kind.
2. The object of your affections makes you feel special and good about yourself.
3. If/when you feel jealous it is always fleeting; you trust your partner not to betray you or hurt your relationship.
4. Nothing makes you feel as serene as when you and your partner are together.
5. When you fight with your partner you usually make up within a few hours and you always agree that nothing is more important than you both being able to express your true feelings (even if they sometimes cause conflict).
6. Your partner never asks you to choose between him/her and your loyalties to your family and friends - if you do choose him/her over them you always have a good reason and it is always YOUR decision, and your decision alone.
7. Neither you or your partner feel the need to test the other's loyalties or feelings.
8. You are more yourself when with your partner than you are with anybody else.
9. If sex is part of your relationship it is by mutual desire and agreement without the slightest hint of commitment testing or persuasion.

Got Budget?

• A budget is a guide that tells you whether you're going in the direction you want to be headed in financially. You may have goals and dreams but if you don't set up guidelines for reaching them and you don't measure your progress, you may end up going so far in the wrong direction you can never make it back. Can you imagine the government or a major corporation operating without a budget? No, and neither should you.

• A budget lets you control your money instead of your money controlling you.

• A budget will tell you if you're living within your means.

Before the widespread use of credit cards, you could tell if you were living within your means because you had money left over after paying all your bills. The use of credit cards has made this much less obvious. Many people don't realize they're living far beyond their means until they're knee deep in debt.

• A budget can help you meet your savings goals. It includes a mechanism for setting aside money for savings and investments.

• Following a realistic budget frees up spare cash so you can use your money on the things that really matter to you instead of frittering it away on things you don't even remember buying.

• A budget helps you prepare for emergencies or large or unanticipated expenses that might otherwise knock you for a loop financially.

• A budget can improve your marriage.

A good budget is not just a spending plan; it's a communication tool. Done right, a budget can bring the two of you closer together as you identify and work towards common goals and reduce arguments about money. That's got to be good for your sex life! (HAHA!)

• A budget reveals areas where you're spending too much money so you can refocus on your more important goals.

• A budget can keep you out of debt or help you get out of debt.

• A budget actually creates extra money for you to use on things that matter to you.

• A budget helps you sleep better at night because you don't lie awake worrying about how you're going to make ends meet =)

Fragile, handle with care
You fall in love, then you lose your head
For the last 24 hours, I've been drying my heart out
This time, hoping for the better
I've been down, seems like forever
For the next 24 hours, I'm yours,
handle well these hours

OH
You said it was love for the first time
Oh, baby, baby be mine
'Cause I'm in love, in love, in love, in love with you

It's so good, you don't have to worry
I'm not like that, I'm not in a hurry
Take your time, I'm not going nowhere
If you go I will always follow

OH
You said it was love for the first time
Oh, baby, baby be mine
'Cause I'm in love, in love, in love, in love with you
with you, with you, with you, with you

Oh, would I lie to you?
I've never had a reason to
Something i would never do, never do, ohoh

OH
You said it was love for the first time
Oh, baby, baby be mine
'Cause I'm in love, in love, in love, in love with you
You said it was love for the first time
Oh, baby, baby be mine
'Cause I'm in love, in love, in love, in love with you.
with you, with you, with you, with you, with you, with you, with you
