Because of respect for your wishes (and the fear of rejection) a guy generally won't try for a first kiss unless he's pretty sure you want him to. If you do, you should try to make him feel comfortable and confident. Flirt with him, laugh at his jokes, smile a lot, and compliment him. If you put him at ease and let him know you enjoy being with him, he'll usually find the courage to try to kiss you.<br />
<br />
<b>Break the touch barrier. </b><br />
Touch him lightly on the arm or shoulder when you're talking. Just make it a quick, innocent touch and don't make a big deal out of it. Holding hands is also a good way to break the touch barrier. The simple act of touching can strengthen the intimacy between you and him. Sometimes a guy will break the touch barrier, and if you're comfortable with him doing so, touch him back. But don't wait for a guy to make the first move here, because girls can generally get away with breaking the touch barrier earlier in a relationship than guys can.<br />
<br />
<b>Look at his lips. </b><br />
When you're alone with a guy and want to be kissed, make eye contact and then move your gaze briefly down to his lips. Then move your eyes back up to meet his and smile demurely. You don't have to be really obvious about it. Many guys will take the hint, especially if they've read one of the many articles that lists this as a sign that a girl wants to be kissed. If it doesn't work the first time, try again when the time is right.<br />
<br />
<b>Move in. </b><br />
You have to be close to each other to kiss, and the less distance a guy has to travel to kiss you, the easier it is for him to give it a try. So get close. When the moment seems right, put your face close to his and look at him expectantly. If you're brave, you could try moving in as though you're going to kiss him. Hopefully he'll take the hint and kiss you, but if he doesn't you can give him a playful little kiss on the cheek.<br />
<br />
<b>Talk about it. </b><br />
If the guy isn't taking your subtle hints, bring up kissing in conversation. For example, if you're watching a movie together and see an on-screen kiss, mention that it's "so romantic" or something to that effect. If the guy is really shy, you might just want to put it on the line and tell him that you'd like him to kiss you.<br />
<br />
<b>Kiss him. </b><br />
There's no law that says the guy has to initiate the kiss, and some guys--especially if they've never kissed a girl before--just won't take your hints. If you want to kiss him, just go ahead and do it.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921036910045748956.post-6172469830626015942011-07-15T01:46:00.000-07:002011-07-15T01:54:29.844-07:00How to court a Filipina?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheJf4RtVPna2nwoW-gQg5qUQVmjGLlQq85WT2983PjWfjRvd2lNSGvNAznBHFnAw9XmjJfJ3PaPEysI_5cxutL5fEPyZUHUM2DL0-VzyAw4zteee6z_jnuaQCL1b_B4cGZgAhymBTwJ3bl/s1600/charmaineharana-4.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 316px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheJf4RtVPna2nwoW-gQg5qUQVmjGLlQq85WT2983PjWfjRvd2lNSGvNAznBHFnAw9XmjJfJ3PaPEysI_5cxutL5fEPyZUHUM2DL0-VzyAw4zteee6z_jnuaQCL1b_B4cGZgAhymBTwJ3bl/s320/charmaineharana-4.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629499721151873730" /></a>When it comes to courting in Filipino culture, you have to be more indirect than in Western societies. Filipino courtship usually last for a long period of time. An engagement, for example, often lasts for several years and as far as marriage is concerned, it is viewed as a lifetime commitment. However due to the profileration of online dating services, many lovers skip courting altogether as in cases of love at first sight or arranged marriage.<br /><br />First Stage: Friendly Start<br />Usually the beginning of a relationship starts with a casual date. The couple will go out together in public places and will be accompanied by mutual friends. During this stage of courting there will be no public displays of affection, the man has to be discreet and friendly or he will be slapped with a tag of being too stuck up or aloof. At this point of time, it is too early for physical contact such as kissing or holding hands.<br /><br />Second Stage: Tactful Dating<br />That is the second stage of Filipino courtship whereby the courting couple would go out together without the company of their friends. Again, the main point is being discreet.<br /><br />Filipino women do not like the courtship process to be fast. Filipino girls are expected to play hard to get because their culture deemed it as an appropriate behavior when they are being courted. A Filipino girl would never reveal her admiration for the man immediately.<br /><br />Playing hard to get is one of the way which Filipino women measure the sincerity of her courting partner. This will also demostrate to the man that he has to work hard to win her love. Some courtships may last for years before the woman accepts her admirer’s love and they become 'magkasintahan', a term for boyfriend-girlfriend.<br />Third Stage: Making the Relationship Public<br /><br />After some time the couple may decide to make their romance known to their family and friends. Every man who wants to be taken seriously by a Filipino girl is advised to visit her family and introduce himself formally to her parents. It would be inappropriate to court a Filipino girl and formalize the relationship without informing the girl’s parents.<br /><br />There is a unspoken rule here that says: “When courting a Filipino girl, you are not just courting her but you are courting the entire family as well ”. Following this rule will help you earn her respect by entrusting her family with high regard.<br /><br />There are certain traditions that have to be observed when visiting the Filipino girl's family. For example, if the man wants to be accepted by the girl’s family, he has to give out small presents every time he visits her family's house. You can always ask any questions regarding which traditions you should observe with her older siblings in the family.<br /><br />Final Stage: Engagement and Marriage<br /><br />After spending a period of time with your Filipino girl and if you decided to get married, the first thing you should do is ask the girl’s parents for her hand. You can find out more in 'Filipino Wedding Customs'.<br /><br />When courting a Filipino woman you will find out that she is demure and reserved even when she has great feelings for you. This is a part of her culture and even for a Western man there is no way around that. You should treat your Filipino girl with respect and woo her with your heart. You would be surprised that your life will be more enriching and fulfilled as you have never imagined.<br /><br />SOURCE: http://www.asiandatingzone.com/filipino-courtship.htmUnknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921036910045748956.post-44175032784377958682011-07-14T07:23:00.000-07:002011-07-14T07:27:26.801-07:00What women wants on her birthday?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1aFU9cOFXDM1L9gXfLh4pllLvPQMGD7Dmp4hNECQb8Cu_Er8Npj3QEsjUZuh-wtbBE-CGi9oOIBUGrZ84Pm6j-WqH7RihQodip8_dFcNcMDKemjhWo1vCuJDOkZcdPhH3S3Tcs77ryVth/s1600/any-birthday-present-gift-white-ceramic-mug-with-red-kiss-lipstick-17-p.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1aFU9cOFXDM1L9gXfLh4pllLvPQMGD7Dmp4hNECQb8Cu_Er8Npj3QEsjUZuh-wtbBE-CGi9oOIBUGrZ84Pm6j-WqH7RihQodip8_dFcNcMDKemjhWo1vCuJDOkZcdPhH3S3Tcs77ryVth/s320/any-birthday-present-gift-white-ceramic-mug-with-red-kiss-lipstick-17-p.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629214486692983570" /></a>If you are saying, "I want to find a birthday present for my wife," here are 5 tips for getting it right the first time:<br /><br />1. Your gift should make her feel special: Your wife works hard to keep you happy. She knows that many of the little things she does for you day in and day out go largely unnoticed. That is why what your wife wants more than anything else on her birthday is to be made to feel special. The present you choose for her needs to accomplish this.<br /><br />2. Try making her feel sexy: Married women like to feel desirable, pretty and sexy. Let your choice of present accentuate her sense of personal beauty.<br /><br />3. Show her you noticed: Scientific studies have shown that women use 2-3 times more words per day than do their male counterparts. One result of this dynamic is that it can be easy for men to unwittingly tune out or filter some of what their wives say. The bad news: women know when you are not listening. Try to choose a present for her that lets her know you have been listening to what she cares about.<br /><br />4. Take a little risk: It is always easiest and safest to buy your wife something similar to other things she already has. For example, if she collects a certain type of figurines for the mantle, you may be tempted to just add another one to her collection. This is thoughtful, but it is also predictable. Take a little risk and buy her something unexpected.<br /><br />5. Choose the gift wrap option: Once you have chosen your wife's gift, be sure to get it gift wrapped or wrap it yourself. This little extra touch is always appreciated.<br /><br />Follow these 5 tips for choosing a birthday present for your wife that she is sure to love.<br /><br />SOURCE: http://ezinearticles.com/?Birthday-Present-For-Your-Wife---5-Tips-For-Choosing-Something-Shell-Love&id=4735682Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921036910045748956.post-55514736431254121632011-07-10T01:27:00.000-07:002011-07-13T23:12:36.887-07:00How to Cope Up With Loveless Marriage<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg9EHZwzqNO2CN6eSYRM36f5EVTj6IHFc-gMLNB-_8Aw-59xvWCzk232Joy8vjKoD5jlFCwo8sSf-EDLw8iJn7Iw6MF4WHHjk30-0GxluZCxW8ieiNw8U-34qvEZdbK5xdKiJxENRS3hBb/s1600/break_up_advice.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627639064422245698" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg9EHZwzqNO2CN6eSYRM36f5EVTj6IHFc-gMLNB-_8Aw-59xvWCzk232Joy8vjKoD5jlFCwo8sSf-EDLw8iJn7Iw6MF4WHHjk30-0GxluZCxW8ieiNw8U-34qvEZdbK5xdKiJxENRS3hBb/s320/break_up_advice.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 280px; margin: 0 10px 10px 0; width: 280px;" /></a>Love is a hard thing to maintain throughout life. While love marriages start with love it is not necessary that the couple stay in love forever. At some point in love marriages people start feeling suffocated, all the things which seemed thrilling earlier, now start seeming like unbearable. Arranged marriages on the other hand may not start with love but once in love, it may help to keeps it going.<br />
<br />
A lot of times people fall out of love or let a certain incident or disappointment break their relationship. If you were in love and now have fallen out of love or are good friends but do not feel an intense love for each other, make a few efforts to keep it amicable if not fiery.<br />
<br />
Commit & create your rules<br />
Every couple makes their own rules. There are things that create a barrier; there are things that hurt either partner. Being in a loveless marriage should at least settle on caring for either other’s opinion. For all you know along the way you give chance to your marriage. A loveless marriage can always be revived but it has to be both the partners working for it. Loveless can be amiable but not unbearable. An unbearable marriage will only meet divorce and hating.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
Stay friends – Communicate<br />
It is not necessary that you love each other with the same intensity as before. Though such would be perfect but if you feel it has dwindled down, make sure you maintain communication. A dead end is not worth it. Do not discuss topics that don’t really help, instead explore new things together or talk about things like you are friends, ask, tell. It shows that you care or at least are not interested in things just being the way they are. What do you know, at times your partner might just need a helping hand from your end?<br />
<br />
Communication left too long can bridge gaps, talk things out.<br />
<br />
Do not be rash<br />
Though we have suggested you talk, make sure you don’t get to throwing words and statements around. If things haven’t been pleasant lately, do not push them. Know when to say what in case you lose your temper due to frustration and anger.<br />
<br />
Its often we regret what we say in the heat of the moment later. Be wise and think before you speak. You may think the damage repairable but what if your partner takes it badly? Keep your cool while any heated discussions and put your point across diplomatically or better yet, wait for when things have cooled down.<br />
<br />
Either move forward by forgiving and forgetting or stop short of destruction.<br />
It’s often that a loveless marriage is because a couple marries for convenience or maybe they are amiable but do not share the intensity of desire or worse, because of an incident that was wrong on a partner’s part. Contemplate if you can live by forgiving if not forgetting or is it ok for you to let go of a relationship for that one incident? Totally your call, but while you may hold it as a grudge, you can still remain friends or maintain civilized mannerism.<br />
<br />
A lot couples suffer loveless marriages yet it is not tough to live like companions rather than lovers. If you can do, why not give it a shot? Good Luck!<br />

Many women are seen denying it completely but you know the fact somewhere in your heart. Well this can be discussed in two parts – Firstly, Are you attracted even now long after your break up to your ex and hence how do you identify it. Secondly, if you are how you can get over it.<br />
<br />
Do you from time to time, think about your ex and get lost in the happy times you had. Does thinking about your ex still stir emotion in you like anger, a vow for revenge or emotional bout of tears? Are you talking raving mad about your ex to your friends even now?<br />
<br />
Where does that leave you, simply saying that your ex is still holding a dear place in your heart and mind? We would say if he or she has moved on, you are silly sitting around thinking of them. Not that we don’t understand break ups can be tough but you have to get over it sometime, why not now. Most of the times, a person does not give getting over their ex a conscious shove hence, they still string along with emotion from break up.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
How can you get over your ex? Do you still have his/her phone number, email address, address, letters, emails? Do not hang on to all this, they are just tagging on your heart strings. Delete or lose them intentionally or you will always feel like clinging on.<br />
<br />
You may cherish good times together but make a point to not think about it every day. If it crops up in your mind, let it run its course. Make an effort to socialize, do not jump in to another relationship but give yourself time, make friends and do not tell them of the disappointment or the issue will exist in conversation even there.<br />
<br />
When we say time heals a break up, we mean it. A sudden relationship will only act like a transactional relationship. Hence stay friends and when you feel you have overpowering emotions for another, get in to a relationship.<br />
<br />
With old friends, stop the discussion of the topic. It’s tough but you might as well do it. Have fun, do spontaneous trips, get a new look and change a few things.<br />
<br />
Does it make you feel that if you meet your ex again it will send you swirling back in to the pool of requited love? Make sure you give yourself enough time and space before you go any near. Though when we say this, do not prepare for the day, instead let life take its course.<br />
<br />
If you feel you have emotional baggage from the relationship, find means to give it up, get counseled or try mediation. For some people these means work. Lastly if are tired of the nagging feeling of one sided love, make a conscious effort and you will get over it, give it time.<br />

Courtship’s are not just limited to love marriages but even applicable to arranged marriages. A courtship can be vital which helps both the partners to explore each other, understand different aspects of their lives, likings, disliking, hobbies, nature and most importantly knowing the person you are about to marry to his/her 100% without the pressure of marital status.<br />
<br />
Often courtship’s can form the dearest memorabilia for couples and a story to tell their grandchildren. Also, it can lay down a solid foundation for the couple which can eventually lead to a successful married life. Are you contemplating a courtship? or are at the ceremonial line of one? Here the top 10 tips for a successful courtship. By all means you can seduce your partner in a mental, emotional and physical way. Following are some rules which can help, few people might not agree with these but in long term these things will really prove vital.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
Know the Person You Want To Marry<br />
By this rule we mean, know who you want to marry and only indulge in courtship with that person. If you are still thinking about a fling or do not want to give it a shot with a prospective groom or bride brought forward say no rather than quitting half way.<br />
<br />
The First Impression<br />
Take care with this physical appearances and take care to not step on someone’s toes by saying something. This one can last a life time and you want to remember and cherish it together.<br />
<br />
Do Not Hurry In To Intimacy<br />
Everything has its time. Emotional as well as physically, it can take a while before you open up or want to be together. If you were to ask us a question, we would say emotional should come before physical but that may not always happen in the order.<br />
<br />
Share<br />
Important – Important, in talks, thoughts, things, feelings. Sharing and communicating is what forms the rock of your relationship. You don’t want to go a mile before erecting this one.<br />
<br />
Flirt<br />
This is an important one. An art, it can stroke some fire in the courtship and keep it from going dull.<br />
<br />
Voice Your Opinion<br />
Who are you and how do you think? This is likely to happen when you talk but if you had initially taken care of not saying a few things, do show your personality or the other person may be confused at who are after marriage.<br />
<br />
Take Up Any Lingering Issues<br />
You may have talked, communicated how you feel, you are now a solid with each other. Sometimes there are things that cannot be said at the very beginning and require a trust to be formed. Rather than bring out any lingering issues after married, face the tough waters if you must tell each other something.<br />
<br />
Romance<br />
Wine and dine each other as much as you like. A courtship should not be dull. If you need to make things larger than life to enjoy doing so as no one will blame you.<br />
<br />
Think a Loud About the Future<br />
We suggest this so that you can know what the things you both want are. Thinking out loud will tell you what you want and what the other person may not want. A courtship can give you both time to adjust and think over what you want together.<br />
<br />
Give Each Other Space<br />
The good thing about a courtship is that you are not yet staying together. While physical space is necessary, make sure you give each other mental and emotional space too. For a lot of couples today, living in before is an option. To make it work, giving each other space is necessary.<br />

There may be longing and lust, but love from both partners is essential for a long lasting relationship. Here are a few ways of knowing if he loves you or not.<br />
<br />
The first step is to come right out and ask him. If he avoids the question and changes the subject, this can mean he is shy or does not want to be the first to say the words. If you tell him how you feel before asking him, he may be more willing to just say it out loud. If he still will not answer you, there are other ways of knowing if he loves you or not.<br />
<br />
If he always asks what you want to do instead of insisting on doing what he wants to do, he is considerate. This type of guy is easy to read and will let you know he loves you easily. The letters he writes, the way he writes your name and the way he addresses you will tell you if he loves you. If he has a cute nickname for you that he uses only when he is with you, and it is like your own little world, he loves you. He would never use that nickname in public just because it is special between you two. If when he answers your phone call, he is always happy to hear from you and puts everything else on hold, he loves you.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
If a man buys you everything you ask for, it is not necessarily love. If he buys you things because he knows you want them so badly, and then makes it a surprise now and then, he loves you. If a man pauses when he gets off the phone with you, and there is an awkward silence, this could mean he is looking for a way to tell you he loves you. If he tells you that when you are not with him, he feels like something is missing, he loves you. Always listen to what he says and how he says it. The love will be easy to spot.<br />
<br />
One of my greatest fears was never finding true love and end up in an unfulfilling relationship or even worse end up alone. Relationship expert Kara Oh managed to allay many of the fears I had about men in her internet bestseller called Men Made Easy . I am a big fan of Kara Oh's ebooks but I found "Men Made Easy" really stood out from the rest. It is one of the most talked about and most successful of all her books because it has helped so many women find what they want in men.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921036910045748956.post-43758018281135757712011-07-09T08:48:00.001-07:002011-07-13T23:12:58.494-07:00Best Wedding Cost Cutting Tips!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTn-5fZ-K5OuP3wUsV0hAEuFFLEJTGrdVWCnqjUfxC_pak5vMGTAOu24hNEvIaGa6x7OJfoll9dbszFMHTPARrUzVzO8OnthpCkK2Z7tyUSkDN0y82TlUq7-AiVutjTs8p9EWo9VCfHuGi/s1600/love_heart.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627380119910136530" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTn-5fZ-K5OuP3wUsV0hAEuFFLEJTGrdVWCnqjUfxC_pak5vMGTAOu24hNEvIaGa6x7OJfoll9dbszFMHTPARrUzVzO8OnthpCkK2Z7tyUSkDN0y82TlUq7-AiVutjTs8p9EWo9VCfHuGi/s320/love_heart.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 170px; margin: 0 10px 10px 0; width: 170px;" /></a><br />
Cutting costs does not always mean that you need to cut out the beautiful things you want for your wedding. Cost cutting is all about making smarter choices and knowing the tricks of the trade! Here is a list of simple ways you can cut thousands of dollars from your budget!<br />
<br />
1. Keep The Numbers Down: The best way to cut costs is to keep your guest numbers low. Avoid inviting people you hardly know and don’t feel obligated to put “and guest” on the invitation. This is your wedding day and it should be filled with people you love not your Uncle Joe’s new girlfriend who would rather be out with her friends. The cost of each guest is not just a meal it is also alcohol, bomboniere, centrepieces etc. Keeping the numbers down and not inviting people just because you feel obligated can mean the difference between an Off The Rack budget dress and the couture gown of your dreams or more money for your honeymoon!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
2. Make your decorations go further: Are you being married in a church? Why not ask the minister if there is another wedding on the same day and see if they would like to share decorations or why not use the floral decorations to decorate the reception? Making your decorations go further can halve the cost!<br />
<br />
3. Food: No one says every sit down dinner needs to be 3-4 courses. Why not skip the appetizers, have an entree and main and serve your wedding cake for desert? Depending on the venue this could save over $30 per person and will also mean your cake will be eaten rather than taken home and thrown away by your guests! Also perhaps think about a cocktail reception with finger food or a breakfast wedding or even having an alternate set menu? The options are endless!<br />
<br />
4. Hand deliver invitations: postage can be expensive especially if you have boxed invitations or an invitation that is not a standard shape. Why not hand deliver them? Or give them to your parents to deliver?<br />
<br />
5. Change The Day: Weekday weddings can save you thousands! Why not get married on a Friday and make it a long weekend for your guests? Most venues offer huge discounts for weekday weddings.<br />
<br />
6. Three letters .... DIY: The more you can do yourself the more you will save. When it comes to weddings most of the money you pay is for labour. If you are a crafty person or have a friend who is crafty why not make your own invitations? Or why not make your own cake? There are some amazing resources online that can guide you and even with a trial run before the big day you will still save money! other ideas are getting your wedding photos on disc and creating your own album, going to a flower market and creating your own bouquets and flower arrangements etc.<br />
<br />
7. Music: Can’t afford a DJ or Band? Why not load your IPod with your favourite songs and put it on shuffle! Guests won’t notice the difference and best of all it’s free!<br />
<br />
8. Cut Back At The Bar: One of the biggest expenses at a wedding reception is generally alcohol. Why not supply beer and wine and provide a cash bar for spirits? Or offer guests their first 2 drinks complimentary and a cash bar to follow. Don’t feel obligated to supply all of the alcohol, most guests are happy to pay as long as they are told on the invitation.<br />
<br />
9. Honeymoon: When booking your honeymoon why not go at the beginning or the end of the low season and beware of the dates! Don’t book during school holidays or during special events as accommodation prices can be almost double depending on the destination.<br />
<br />
10. Ask For A Discount: The easiest way to save money and sometimes the one that people don’t use! Asking for a discount is not rude most suppliers expect it. Why not ask what packages they have available or if they offer a winter discount or a Sunday rate or even a discount if you pay a large deposit. Don't be afraid to ask, the worst they can say is no and who knows you might save some money!Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921036910045748956.post-84120773015722000582011-07-09T08:44:00.000-07:002011-07-13T23:13:32.578-07:00Marriage Advice<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghV3F4SgneHt99A82QLH9tWPfp_DI-YDf1KBGKfPf56dLJe0rFcn9AoXuBEn8NaW9b7w3_4SsyP-ZbROk9QQZDfEYCdf23Z7_PZnewzIx6jL2hdEbff5kTan5l3myFXdrWf2PsHvZxvlD5/s1600/holding_hands.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627379730606944194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghV3F4SgneHt99A82QLH9tWPfp_DI-YDf1KBGKfPf56dLJe0rFcn9AoXuBEn8NaW9b7w3_4SsyP-ZbROk9QQZDfEYCdf23Z7_PZnewzIx6jL2hdEbff5kTan5l3myFXdrWf2PsHvZxvlD5/s320/holding_hands.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 300px;" /></a><br />
Have you ever wondered "what is the secret to a long and happy marriage?" Our collection of tried and true marriage advice tips will help you answer that very question! These secrets to a happy marriage come straight from the horse's mouth -- those who are happily married!<br />
<br />
Never assume.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
Compliment more than you criticize.<br />
<br />
For each time you vent about your husband/wife to your friends, tell three positive stories.<br />
<br />
Remember that it is ok to do things differently (e.g. there is more than one way to peel a potato or fold the laundry).<br />
<br />
Always make time for the two of you.<br />
<br />
Marry someone that you enjoy listening and talking to.<br />
<br />
Remember that marriage is sometimes a bed of roses and sometimes there are thorns.<br />
<br />
Remember that the best gift that you can give your children is to love their mother/father.<br />
<br />
Be fair! Split the housework, spending money, etc evenly. This way you are never resentful of your partners contributions (or lack of) or expenditures.<br />
<br />
Never go to bed angry. (Unless it's 3a.m. and you're exhausted, angry, and not thinking straight.)<br />
<br />
Remember that people do fight. It's how you do it that matters.<br />
<br />
Before starting an argument, consider if it's really worth it.<br />
<br />
Fight naked. ;)<br />
<br />
Agree to disagree.<br />
<br />
Never, ever mention the "D" word (divorce).<br />
<br />
Do you want to be right or do you want to be married?<br />
<br />
Respect each other's privacy.<br />
<br />
Remember that "love is like childhood. You need to learn to share."<br />
<br />
Marriage is not 50/50, it's two people giving 100/100 all of the time.<br />
<br />
Surprise each other now and then.<br />
<br />
The secret to a happy marriage is two TV's!<br />
<br />
Have date night!<br />
<br />
Never pass up an opportunity to say "I love you".<br />
<br />
Hold hands.<br />
<br />
Hug & kiss every day (several times a day actually!).<br />
<br />
Always believe that you got better than you deserved.<br />
<br />
Be quick to say "I'm sorry".<br />
<br />
Choose the one you love, then love the one you choose.<br />
<br />
Keep the in-laws out of your marriage!<br />
<br />
Love isn't always a feeling, it's a decision.<br />
<br />
Hang in there. It's worth it.<br />
<br />
Play nice, play often, love much.<br />
<br />
Never air your dirty laundry as a couple in public.<br />
<br />
Never keep secrets from each other.<br />
<br />
Be each other's champion. No matter what, take your husband or wife's side first!<br />
<br />
Communication is the key!<br />
<br />
Always respect each other.<br />
<br />
Never underestimate the power of a good belly-laugh and don't be afraid to laugh at yourself.<br />
<br />
It's the little things that matter most.<br />
<br />
Never use the words 'Always' and 'Never' in a fight.<br />
<br />
It's ok to argue, but never use curse words to express your anger.<br />
<br />
Never compare your marriage to others. What you see on the outside is not always what it is on the inside.<br />
<br />
Don't make love in the same place/position everytime. Variety is the spice of life!Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921036910045748956.post-73822839462840312992011-07-09T08:33:00.000-07:002011-07-13T23:13:40.826-07:00I Love You in 100 Languages<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNnPGdrmzSFHtxmRe90i75iijR3bUgwxeBTdDUphq2KJaWBO3SoIigQsWuPJFvM2RKh9j9wyhsuRpkDsunXqUr2X06U6zSHCc3g1ZG8x9P6oZiXFDlpBh5lzT16tWxzssR7z6DPtbs9D0a/s1600/271155_253992851281908_253985447949315_1217619_4006171_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627377342424005842" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNnPGdrmzSFHtxmRe90i75iijR3bUgwxeBTdDUphq2KJaWBO3SoIigQsWuPJFvM2RKh9j9wyhsuRpkDsunXqUr2X06U6zSHCc3g1ZG8x9P6oZiXFDlpBh5lzT16tWxzssR7z6DPtbs9D0a/s320/271155_253992851281908_253985447949315_1217619_4006171_n.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 297px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a><br />

At our wedding, my husband's best friend (the best man) made the toast. During his speech he said, "I work at a hospital and get to meet all kinds of people. One of the things that I've learned from older men when it has to do with marriage is this: 'If your wife's not happy, then NOBODY'S happy.'" Everyone laughed, but every generalization or stereotype has some truth in it, isn't there?<br />
<br />
Marriage is definitely challenging and takes a lot of consistent effort, compromise, patience, and considering one another's feelings. Complicated as women are, there are 5 things a husband can remember to keep his wife smiling:<br />
<br />
1) Eat dinner together everyday.<br />
<br />
With the average husband and wife both having to work full-time, sitting down to have dinner together is probably one of the most important things you can do. And by sitting down for dinner--I mean it! No eating in front of the TV--sit down properly at the table and talk to each other about how your day went. This is a good habit to establish, as studies have shown that families who have dinner together are less likely to have children who get into trouble. And while you're at it, why not take it a step further? Take turns cooking for each other. Ask your wife if there is a particular recipe she'd like to try. Set the table nicely and ask her what she'd like to drink with her meal. She'll do the same for you, and you'll both enjoy it.<br />
<br />

2) Keep the romance alive with creative little things.<br />
<br />
A sweet note hidden in her purse, a small gift, a quick e-mail or phone call telling her you love her and miss her: all these things can still bring the butterflies in her tummy. How about sending her flowers "just because"? Last week my husband was on business travel, but I got a surprise gift from him every day that he was gone. Each day, he would send me an e-mail with a photo clue of where a gift was hidden. The photos were taken at weird angles so I really had to figure out which part of the house to look in! Each little gift (coffee, iTunes gift card, a book) came with a cute card and sweet words. =) He also told me he was coming home a day later than he actually was, so imagine my surprise when he unexpectedly walked through the door! I couldn't stop smiling the whole week.<br />
<br />
3) Learn to communicate well.<br />
<br />
The number one source of conflict is lack of or mis-communication! Make an effort to read up on communication skills. If you have a problem listening, try ACTIVE listening, where you repeat back what she just said to you so it helps you absorb the information. If you have a hard time verbalizing what's on your mind, take a minute to think of what to say, or use analogies to better explain your thoughts. When your woman vents about her feelings, just let her--don't judge or lecture her about what to do with whatever it is she's complaining about. Unless she asks specifically for your advice, really, she just needs you to be there to help her process her emotions. Finally, no relationship will work without honesty. As a married couple, there should be complete trust and you should be able to say what you are thinking candidly.<br />
<br />
4) Practice thinking for two.<br />
<br />
Before you were married, you probably spent a good part of your life thinking just for yourself. Marriage is a union, therefore every decision you make affects her. If you're coming home late, call to let her know so she's not at home worrying where you are. Don't spend money on anything significantly pricey without consulting her first. If you get invited to go somewhere, or want to have friends over to watch the game, check with her first! Also, think of how you feel when you're around your in-laws; chances are she probably gets a bit nervous or self-conscious when she's around your family (especially your mother!), so be considerate to your wife whenever they're around.<br />
<br />
Lastly...<br />
<br />
5) Never, ever take her for granted.<br />
<br />
Not being appreciated is probably one of the worst feelings one can have in a relationship. When you love someone, you go far and beyond to do things for them, and it really sucks when that person is selfish and doesn't say "thank you" or return the favor. A relationship consists of a lot of give-and-take, and there should be times when you reflect on all the things your wife does for you and your life together. My husband and I make it a point to thank each other every time we complete chores or remember to consider each other's feelings before deciding on something. I really love it when he tells me he loves me, he's happy he married me, and that I'm the "best wife in the whole world"! Compromise has a lot to do with the give-and-take, too. I support him on his interests and hobbies, and he appreciates that and returns the favor when I want us to do something that I like.<br />
<br />
Obviously marriage can be quite a complicated thing. There will ups and downs, good times and difficult times. Just like any other investment, how much you put into it will determine what you will get out of it. Since marriage is a two-way street, be sure to share these tips with your wife as well!<br />

Get prepared for dating. If you really want to succeed in the dating game, be ready to commit to dating. Half-heartedness won't work. In fact, it won’t even get you half-way. If you really want to date, put some effort into it. Do some research and think about what you want out of dating. Prepare yourself for the inevitable rejection we all face at some point in dating and commit not to give up.<div><br />2. Get your act together. Begin a regime of looking your best. Join a gym, read health magazines, get fit and start a diet. Get your hair cut or styled and begin a new regime of good grooming or beauty treatment. Though it will not find you a date in itself, you will feel a million times more confident about yourself, and others can sense that.<br /><br /></div><div>3. Go shopping and treat yourself to new clothes and even a whole new look. Get your image right, one that you can manage and live with, but one that flatters you. Don't try to be someone you’re not, but amplify and accentuate your positives. Throw out those tired jeans, old sweaters or cardigans and spruce yourself up. Your date will appreciate that you demonstrated some effort.<br /><br /></div><div>4. Think about what you want to gain from dating and what timeframes you expect. Do you see yourself married within 2 years? If you do, then approach dating accordingly. If you are more laid back and don't take dating too seriously then ask yourself some honest questions about why you are dating and what you hope to achieve. If it is purely sex then ask yourself if you are about to be honest with those you hope to date.<br /><br /></div><div>5. Surround yourself with people who will support your dating aims. By following the first four tips you will feel better and be more focused. Don’t sabotage this by sitting around with friends who are negative about love and relationships (often the married ones). Start attending social functions frequented by singles. Sitting alongside couples at dinner parties in suburbia is not necessarily where you need to be right now.<br /><br /></div><div>6. Choose those you have a good chance of dating. Be realistic. In other words, your dating is based on the whole package you present as well as just your personality. If you are looking for a glamour girl or boy and want to date someone trendy and gorgeous, great! Just know that others will expect you to be the same.<br /><br /></div><div>7. Join clubs, societies, sports events, drama groups -- anything that might help you meet like-minded potential partners. You will not meet people by staying indoors and playing video games – many have tried and failed at this approach.<br /><br /></div><div>8. Take time off from dating occasionally if it’s not going well or causing dating fatigue. Recharging your batteries and keeping confidence and optimism levels high is an absolute must. We all hit rough patches, but don’t let your search for love become a death march. Date in phases if necessary.</div><div><br /></div><div>9. Enjoy dating for what it is, dating. It is meeting people and socializing and spending time in the company of stimulating individuals who may or may not play a bigger part in your life down the road. The fact is, most people have something interesting to offer. While you may not be out on the dating scene looking for new friends, you may well find one or two fabulous people along the way.<br /><br /></div><div>10. Never make yourself too available. People like mystery and enigma and the thrill of the chase when dating. As part of keeping up the mystery, do not sleep with your dates early on. The longer a person is made to chase and fall for you within reason, the more likely that love may blossom. (And yes, this goes for both men AND women!) If the chemistry peaks too early, your emotions may never have time to catch up and the relationship will eventually wither away. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921036910045748956.post-33861726671120789102011-07-09T07:44:00.000-07:002011-07-09T07:55:11.339-07:00How to Have a First Kiss - For Girls<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlJe1XJW2JgyWequjTasEYQgisEHzydjyoa0yanqmFB0wLVPDcDgTKe428_JamwfIyrvnZuEYpw-bBUm39NGSXvPIhmgV0Y1UQJyPr2ngo7T7TxzBmneQY7pD4xwgFYkAY73MHOsuyEAhP/s1600/swinging-love-kiss-couple.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 259px; height: 258px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlJe1XJW2JgyWequjTasEYQgisEHzydjyoa0yanqmFB0wLVPDcDgTKe428_JamwfIyrvnZuEYpw-bBUm39NGSXvPIhmgV0Y1UQJyPr2ngo7T7TxzBmneQY7pD4xwgFYkAY73MHOsuyEAhP/s320/swinging-love-kiss-couple.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627365683464587602" /></a>1. Have a mint. Make sure you are kissably fresh. Bad breath is a definite turn off.<br /><br />2. Lean in and make eye contact. Lean your head on your guy's shoulder as if you are about to fall asleep. Look up at him - if his arm goes around to let you in, go for the kiss. If not, or if he doesn't seem to be taking things the same way you are, he might not be ready yet. Just relax for now. Lean in and make eye contact.<br /><br />3. Look at his lips. Drop your gaze and your eyelids to half mast, then slowly, look back up at him and give him a little welcoming smile.<br /><br />4. Relax and be at ease about it. If he doesn't go for the kiss, accept it and don't push. Wait for another moment, either later in the date, or another time.<br /><br />5. Let him know you want to kiss. Reaching up to twine your arms around his neck, or lightly play with the hair at his neckline will let him know you are ready to get up close and personal.<br /><br />6. Take the lead. Some guys are very shy. Even those who aren't have been drilled over and over about unwelcome touching. Consider lightly kissing him on the cheek to show him that you're okay with touch. Guys have a reputation as being pervs, but a lot of boys worry about going too far.<br /><br />7. Invite him to kiss you. Yep, some boys really do need an engraved invitation. Let's say you've tried to show him you're ready, and he looks interested, but you just can't get him to (A) let you kiss him, or (B) kiss you, then just ask him, "Couldn't we just be kissing right now?" If he doesn't kiss you then, he isn't going to.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com
