Why we keep pets

Humans have kept pets for so long that we have a huge number of domesticated species that tag along with us. Humans love their babies because babies need love. Our children are born nearly helpless and take years of rearing to help them mature. In order to guarantee survival, humans have developed significant emotional dependencies on mutual feedback within the marriage and family group. Not everyone has an active family group so substitutes are necessary for healthy human attachments. This is where pets come in. We saw dogs and cats following us around in a nonaggressive way and began to adopt these animals as pets. These animals were rapidly selected for nonaggressive behavior and humans found these animals made them feel better when they were lonely. Pet-human associations are well known to provide both owner and pet with health benefits.
  Whether you believe it or not, pets are a great way to improve your mood and temperament. Research has shown that people who suffer from various diseases have lesser chances of depression if they keep pets as compared to those who are suffering from similar diseases and don’t keep pets.
    Health experts say that dog owners have less blood pressure and heart rates. This eventually reduces the need to take medicines and also helps reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
    Want someone who will accompany you for walks? Dogs can be great companions and will happily go out for walks, at times even urging you for a walk, when you’re too tired, thereby keeping you active and fit. Other activities related to pets like feeding, bathing, playing and cleaning are also good ways to exercise.
    No matter how low or lonely you keep, a pet will always be there for you. Whether you want to pour your heart out to them or tell them your secrets, you know it’s all safe with them! Pets give you unconditional love and are always faithful.
    Stressed out? Pets are known to reduce stress and anxiety levels. Experts say that people can get relieve from stress and depression, if they spend time with their pets.
Several studies have revealed that people who tend to spend their time with pets are more likely to live longer than people who don’t.
    Want to improve your social skills? It is said that people who keep pets are said to be good in their social relations. Kids who grow up with pets at home are always respectful towards living things.
    Having a dog at home is especially good because they also double up as caretakers. No burglar alarm can be better than a dog at home.

Frequent masturbation

Frequent masturbation in young men is linked to higher risk of early prostate cancer , but it lowers prostate cancer risk for men in their 50s, a study shows. High levels of male sex hormones, or androgens, may increase a man's risk of prostate cancer . But different studies of this question, done in different ways, have reached different conclusions. To look at the question in a new way, a team of researchers  looked at whether men with more intense sex drives were at higher risk of prostate cancer.  About half the men got prostate cancer by age 60, and about half did not have cancer . The findings were surprising. Sexual intercourse did not affect prostate cancer risk. But frequent masturbation did -- in different ways, at different times of life. "Frequent masturbation during men's 20s and 30s increased their risk of prostate cancer. For men in their 20s, "frequent masturbation" was two to seven times per week. Compared to same-age men who reported mas...

What does the Bible said about having unhappy marriage?

One thing we know for sure: being in an unhappy marriage is not biblical grounds for divorce . In Mark 10:11–12 Jesus said, “A man who divorces his wife so he can marry someone else commits adultery against her. And a woman who divorces her husband so she can marry someone else commits adultery.” Based on the Bible, we see that people don’t have the right to dissolve an unhappy marriage. God intended that marriage be for a lifetime. Ephesians 5 presents marriage as a picture of the relationship God has with us. This is one reason why God has such an interest in keeping marriages intact. Failed marriages and broken homes are devastating to the husband and wife, not to mention the children involved. Financial ruin is only one of the unhappy results of divorce. The family unit is the basic building block of any society, and rampant divorce has a tragic impact on all of the culture. This is not to say that God wants to force us to remain forever in an unhappy marriage. He doesn't a...
