Let’s look at 1Peter 3:1 it says Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and find clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, like Sarah. Who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.

Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

Love Always,
Your Sister in Christ

Step One -

You shouldn’t act simply to impress her. Just be yourself. If she sees that you’re only trying to impress her, she may lose interest. Try to pretend that she is just a friend and you aren’t trying to win her over, and perhaps you’ll be comfortable enough to more easily be yourself.

Step Two -

Remember! First impressions definitely matter. You have to make your date feel like you’re not a lousy or boring partner. Don’t speak too much – and try to balance the conversation. Don’t just say yes or no to her questions, but you also don’t want to tell your biography either. If you only speak about yourself, then you will sound extremely arrogant and uninteresting!

Third Tip -

Look confident on your first singles date. You need to make her feel like you are intelligent and amusing. When you talk, you need to sound capable, but not arrogant. Don’t make her hate you before she gets to experience you! You don’t want to make your 1st date, your last date!

For my last tip – you need to have fun with dating online! Try and forget your jitteriness, and worries. Pretend like your not even on a date – but rather, just hanging out with your friend. Hopefully your first date will be a unforgettable one.

Isn’t that what the children need? Don’t they need the strength of a two parent household in this mad society that we live in? Don’t they need the emotional assurance that Mom AND Dad are together? Don’t they? Or do they?

When my ex and I decided to divorce, we decided that he should probably live in the house with the children and I, for their sakes. We weren’t getting along to make things worse, as he was still doing the ’single dude’ thing outside of the house, skulking in at all hours of the morning, making hushed calls from his cellular phone, etc.

I thought that I was doing the best thing for the children at the time. I allowed him to stay, because I didn’t want to put them through the emotional upheaval that I was sure that they would have to endure if I kicked him out.

Something happened one night that changed my opinion on that whole “staying together for the kids” thing.

We were having one of our usual “discussions” at about two in the morning. As usual, it got loud, and our eldest daughter woke up (she was ten at the time), came out of her room, and said, “Will you two stop it?! I can’t stand it anymore!” It was like a light bulb lit up in my head, and I thought to myself, “Why are we doing this? Why are we putting these children through this nonsense? They’re clearly not in the best emotional place that they could be. We’re done.” At which time, I went downstairs, and sat at the kitchen table. I thought long and hard about what I was doing. Why was I really allowing him to stay? Was it really for the kids? Or was it for me? Was it because of my fear of being ‘alone’ that I allowed my children to hear and be witnesses to things that I would prefer they not? Was it because of my fear of what kicking him out would bring on?

Whatever the reason, I had to stop thinking about whatever it was that I was afraid of, and start thinking about just what his presence in the house was doing to the emotional well-being of our children. They were miserable. He had to go, and that was that.

It’s my job as their mother, to make absolutely certain that my children are protected, emotionally, physically and spiritually while they’re under my roof. So, I stood up from that kitchen table, and walked back up those stairs. He was standing at the top of the staircase, looking straight down at me. I looked up at him and I said, “You have to go.” To which he replied, “Go? Go where? Where do you expect me to go at three in the morning?” I headed back down the stairs as I said, “I don’t care where you go, but you need to be out of this house tonight.” He gave me the usual caveman response, “Well, if you want to try to make me go, go ahead.” But I was prepared. I said to him, “We can do this one of two ways. You choose. We can do this the easy way, where you get your things, and walk out the front door on your own steam, or we can do this the hard way, where you give me flack, and I call someone who’ll help you be out of here in the next 15 minutes, with or without your stuff. It’s your call.”

So, after about two minutes, he packed what he could into a duffel bag, kissed the kids, and walked out of the front door. Our eldest daughter, closed the door behind him, and said to me as she did so, “Thank God. Now we can have some peace.” Those words coming from her mouth changed my thinking forever.

When you think that you’re staying together “for the kids”, think again. Whatever emotional upheaval you’re going through in your situation, they’re feeling as well. Don’t think for a second that your children don’t see it. They see and hear much more than we realize. I decided that I would much rather have my children in a loving, one parent household, than a dysfunctional, two parent household, in which the parents are constantly at odds with each other. Kids are all eyes, and ears. They take in a huge percentage of what they see and hear at home. My household is happy and healthy now. There’s no fighting. There’s no stress.

I made the right decision, and my children are much happier for it.

Martinis for Everyone!

Your basic makeup that you will need to create a glowing look, is your foundation, powder, mascara, blush, lipstick and concealer.

Since you will be taking a lot of pictures you need a matte look. It is crucial for your photographs because the shine on your face will show through your photos. Use a slightly heavier foundation than you normally use and a minute later apply your loose powder. This way you will have a smooth complexion and a finish matte look. As for your blush, it should look natural so choose a color that complements your skin tone and blend well. Avoid products that has too much frost in them. As for lipsticks, you can use a little gloss on your lips to bring out life to the lipstick you are wearing. Last wear a waterproof mascara, and eyeliner because you never know when those tears of happiness will come running down your face.

Tip of the Day:If you are getting married in the summer, for hot humid weather I would recommed to do an airbrush foundation application. It will make your makeup last longer and it makes your skin look flawless.

Love is also about change. Love will always offer a better
way of doing something or a way of being in exchange
for one that is not working. Love encourages us to the greatest
arena of our imagination and life. It encourages everyone
equally. It offers acceptance equally. As you open to “Love”
it begins to fill your whole being. Then it begins to fill your
whole sphere of influence; your friends, your family, your
students, your associates, the people that you encounter.
One person or creature offering out pure love begins an
overflow of energy that can affect the whole world, and the
whole universe. It doesn’t sound possible but love is such a
big force that wave after wave of love can affect great
change starting with you.

Love transforms fear, which contain all the elements that
vibrate at low frequencies; fear, terror, anger, hatred,
rage, envy, jealousy, grief, sadness, hostility, disrespect,
disgust, and alienation. Love heals. It takes away the
hurt and transforms any residual that remains. Love purifies
everything that it touches. But once it comes in it never
leaves you nor forsakes you. It continues to purify to the
highest vibration possible. It affects change because it
purifies so deeply, and so completely. It is capable of touching every area of your life and others. Love does not force. Love just keeps loving.
With love great joy is allowed to come in.

If you don’t feel that you have love in your life, start
offering love first to yourself. Offer yourself to love.
Let it have every thought, every hurt, every dark, bad
moment. It will receive everything that you give it without
condemnation and offer great compassion.

Next allow the people that come to offer kindness, and
compassion to touch you. Let them hug you. Hear their
words. Let words of love come into your thoughts without
rejecting them. Change any thinking that has been telling
you that you are unworthy of love or kindness. Begin to
receive the small shows of affection. The hugs, the
smiles, the gentle touches. Children offer unconditional
love. They are usually happy to offer you hugs and
affection. Animals are a good source of affection and love.

Volunteering is a very good way to extend love out.
Practice kindness. Imagine how past kindly loving
guides would love them. How would Jesus love this
person? What would he think about them? What would
he say to them? How would he feel about this person or
about me? How would Gandhi act in this situation? How
would Mother Teresa behave towards them?

If you have not read about the lives of these great kindly
beings, read everything that you can. The New Testament
in the bible Specifically John is a great place to start.
Gandhi The Man is very good book. As is
The Celestine Prophecy series, Conversations With God series.

If you are open to it strangers may surprise you with an
act of kindness and love. Very often spontaneous moments
offer great warmth and love. Do not reject this. Many
times we are afraid of the other and do not offer affection to
someone that is hurting. One way to receive more love
is to reach out to someone who is hurting. A stranger or an
acquaintance could greatly use kindness and love from you.
In that moment there is a great exchange of love. You have
acted as an instrument of love.

Praying about love and asking how to be a more loving
person
can give you great comfort and insight. Examples will be
shown to you. Moments will be open to you in which you
can choose to give love and to receive it. The more times
that you embrace those moments in a loving manner, you
will begin to open to the subtlety of love. Acts of loving come
in the small quiet places to the great big dramatic moments.
Each time if you pray and meditate in your heart and ask how
would “love” react here you will receive insight as to how you
could act to express love.

It is not always easy especially when you are dealing with
a person who is cranky, grouchy, unjust or nasty. You have to
look beyond the criticism, beyond their unpleasantness and see
that more often than not they are afraid. Perhaps that person
has gotten to this moment of crankiness, and being mean or
controlling because they learned that behavior. They don’t
know how to be nice. Or they have been hurt so many times
that they have forgotten how to drop their defenses. They are
stuck. You can help them by accepting them as they are.
Offering love and kindness in spite of how they behave.

Love is a slow, patient energy. It does not win by attacking.
It does not force. It remains consistent whether it is night or day, a
good mood or a bad mood, acceptable behavior or
unacceptable behavior.

In reality, most luck is the product of lots of hard work and creative initiative. If we just wait for good things to fall into our lap without any effort on our part, we are setting ourselves up for disappointment. It’s up to us to do the groundwork that will open the door for opportunity to come into our life.

A Persian saying advises, “Go and wake up your luck.” To do this, we have to wake up and start taking action toward our goals. For as a Yiddish proverb admonishes, “If you want your dreams to come true, don’t oversleep.” It takes initiative, energy, and effort on our part to start the process of preparing the way for good things to happen.

According to Anthony Robbins, “It is in the moment of your decisions that your destiny is shaped.” This means that the unfolding of our destiny is not a passive process, but rather that each day we are actively influencing what happens in our life. The good news is that if we are dissatisfied with our life, we can always make new choices and create a life that more accurately reflects who we are now and who we want to become.

These same principles are true in every aspect of your life, including your marriage. The happy marriage doesn’t just happen. It requires consistent effort and initiative to solve marriage problems and reduce conflict.

If you want a marriage with quality emotional intimacy, then you have to take steps to deepen your feelings of connection with your spouse. At some point in the future, it may appear to family and friends that you have been very “lucky” to have such a loving marriage. But you’ll know the hard work behind the scenes that being “lucky” in marriage usually requires.

How to Be “Lucky” in Your Marriage

Here are seven tips to follow:

1. Instead of blaming your spouse and focusing on how he or she should change to be a better partner, concentrate on changing yourself to become the kind of ideal partner you’d love to have.

2. Make a point of always noticing your spouse’s good qualities and what you like and admire about him or her. Give your spouse lots of praise, and look for opportunities to give compliments in front of others.

3. Express your appreciation and love frequentlyverbally, in writing (notes and cards), and with hugs and physical affection. Be sure that you don’t hold hands, hug, and kiss only when you have expectations of sex, or your partner eventually may start trying to avoid physical contact with you.

4. Record important dates such as birthdays and anniversaries in your daily planner at the first of each calendar year. Be sure to list the special occasions a couple of weeks ahead of time as well as on the specific days so that you’ll have time to buy a present or make dinner reservations. Be the spouse who never forgets a special occasion. You’ll gain many extra good will brownie points for this!

5. Create a “story” about your marriage, how you met your spouse, how much you love each other, what your adventures have been, etc. For example, you might tell the story of when you met your Prince Charming at your second cousin’s wedding, right after you slipped and fell in front of everyone and he helped you to your feet.

You could say that he probably thought that was a rare happening for you, but little did he know about your klutzy tendencies and that after you married, he’d be helping you up from floors all over the globe… Make the story light and humorous and have fun adding to it through the years.

6. Learn what to overlook. You can’t make a major deal out of everything that happens. Pick your disagreements carefully and distinguish the unimportant or “small stuff” from the important “big stuff.” Constant conflict will extinguish the flames of passion.

7. Never, never, never ever call your spouse names or belittle him or her. It’s impossible to feel loving toward someone who has just called you a “stupid idiot” or worse. Leave the room, bite your tongue, go outside for a few minutesdo whatever you have to do to stop yourself. Learn how to disagree without name calling or resorting to sarcasm or mockery.

Being “lucky” in a marriage relationship requires hard work, but the payoff is huge.

If you’ve ever experienced it I think you’ll recognize that it seems to happen almost automatically and as if you have little control over it. Unfortunately after the damage that it wreaks has been done it has not only undermined the relationship it has also traumatized you in the process.

The nature of the trauma can take many forms:

1. Lowered self confidence.

2. Lowered self esteem.

3. Lowered self worth.

4. Feeling defective in some way.

5. Feeling guilty.

6. Feeling like a failure.

7. Feeling depressed.

8. Feeling hopeless.

9. Feeling empty.

10. Greater fears of intimacy.

And so on…

Of course all of this along with the memory of the self sabotage gets stored in your mind and body and adds to the earlier trauma that caused the fear of intimacy in the first place.

Yes, you read that correctly. Trauma in the form of abuse, neglect and/or abandonment is what leads to this fear. Let me explain.

When an individual is traumatized at an early age they often attempt to explain to themselves why such trauma occurred to them in the first place. Children have the tendency to blame themselves for what happens to them even when they might not have been the cause.

They do this because the idea of blaming the other person, sometimes a parent or other care taker is too threatening to them especially if they are dependent on that person. Doing so, they fear, might cause the caretaker to withdraw their love.

So in order to protect the relationship the child unconsciously blames themselves for the incident and then carries this inside of themselves along with the memory of the incident and the emotional pain associated with it.

All of this usually becomes stored in the unconscious mind and body and if not uncovered and resolved it tends to fuel the fear of intimacy in later life.

In order to understand this it’s important to recognize that this fear sits on a deeper fear, that of being rejected or abandoned. This latter fear also sits on a deeper belief which is that one could potentially be abandoned and therefore would make the individual unlovable.

This belief that one is unlovable is based on the early trauma I mentioned above and also on the childhood interpretation of the memory which is that it happened because the child was bad and therefore potentially unlovable.

Now for a child this belief is like the kiss of death. It is felt as something akin to feelings of annihilation and therefore is extremely painful and to be avoided at all costs.

The fear of intimacy is supposed to protect the individual from ever experiencing the belief or fear that they are not lovable while in a relationship. So if an individual believes they are unlovable yet desires to be in a relationship it’s like they are playing a losing game.

They essentially have to pretend they are someone else because they believe that they are not lovable simply as themselves.

Well of course I think you can see that once one starts down this road the self sabotage has already set in. It’s only a matter of time before the partner recognizes that the individual is not being genuine or honest in someway and this then arouses suspicion which feels threatening to our individual.

As the individual is unable to tolerate the possibility of having what they consider their deepest character flaws exposed they generally tend to unconsciously create an incident that finally undermines the relationship. This is because they desperately need to escape before they are rejected.

Strangely the belief is that the fear of intimacy protects them from being found out and it also protects them from rejection.

As I think you can see, and may even know first hand, the fear of intimacy only makes one’s life and relationships chaotic.

There is now a new approach to quickly, painlessly, easily and permanently releasing the entire trauma that feeds the fears of rejection and intimacy inside you. It is called the Mind Resonance Process(TM) (MRP) and it is administered over the telephone.
