The Favored Child

Youtube audio copyright strikes again! Sorry that I had to change the Nightwish song. A fanmade video based off the second book in Philippa Gregory's Wideacre series - The Favored Child. ***Spoilers*** Since these books have been out since the early 90's, I do not feel too bad about giving a plot summary. If you do not wish to know the plot, simply don't read this little blurb. But for those of you who are confused by this video, I'll try to clear things up a bit. The book is part of the Wideacre Trilogy - Wideacre, The Favored Child and Meridon. A bit odd to start with the second book but I couldn't find a red-headed actress to play the girl from the first book. The story centers around the 18th century estate of Wideacre (title of the first book) where the teenaged Beatrice Lacey longs to inherit her family estate but cannot because she is a girl. Beatrice is charming and headstrong, beautful and willful (think Becky Sharp/Scarlet O'Hara). She is also a sociopath. Wideacre choronicles the life of a ruthless woman who is literally willing to kill for her estate and will stop at nothing - not even murder - to win what is rightfully hers. If graphic sexuality and incest are taboo for you, I strongly encourage you not to read Wideacre. Don't mean to spoil too much, but this book is NOT for the faint of heart. Now that the little background is out of the way - THIS story picks up from the viewpoint of Beatrice's daughter, blonde and dreamy Julia Lacey who feels an immediate ...

Lutherans, Tornadoes, and Gays! Oh my!

Some theists superstitiously mythologize weather events, natural disasters, and other such occurrences, claiming that they are messages from their god. This video looks at one example of this odd practice, ie, the mythologizing of a tornado that hit the area where the Evangelical Lutheran Church in American was having its churchwide convention in Minneapolis on August 19, 2009. Apparently, there are people in the 21st century who have managed to convince themselves that a tornado in the American Midwest during a summer afternoon is a miraculous event. logosapologia has yet to approve my video response. Perhaps the facts and statistics set forth in it are just too much for him to deal with.

old miss diary 2 of 11 (engsubs)

Mi Ja (actress Ye Ji Won, recently in "So Cute"), a down on her luck thirty-something woman whose life is going nowhere fast, and who seems doomed to live out her days as a lonely old maid. Things start to look up when she finally manages to land some work as a voice-dubbing actress, which brings her back into contact not only with a former crush, but a possible longshot love prospect in the form of handsome young producer Ji Hyun Woo (Ji Hyun Woo, also in the television series "Over the Rainbow"). This makes for all manner of complications, as does the odd behaviour of her three grandmothers, who seem to be making a late bid for romance themselves.

Ian Tyson - Some Kind Of Fool

Issued in Canada early 1975 on A&M 387. It's odd. If you are old enough to have seen Ian Tyson's CTV television show with the Great Speckled Bird, you'll recognize this as his show's theme song. But this single did not enter any chart at any time after its release in late 1974 or early 1975. In fact, the album it's on, "Ol' Eon" isn't even listed in his discography on what purports to be the encyclopedia of Canadian music on the web. Nonetheless, it's among his most well-known songs. I offer it here to remind you that Ian Tyson started something when he began performing in 1956, and nurtured it into a popular idiom, with much hard work, travelling and playing. He and ex-wife Sylvia were like royalty in the folk circles of the early-to-late '60s. They were pioneering country-rock and folk-rock along with The Byrds, a decade before it became a "genre." Their later-'60s music struggled to find an audience; Sylvia developed some problems with her throat and stopped performing regularly, and Ian went on mostly alone until 1975, the year Ian & Sylvia gave their last performance, and also the year their marriage ended. Ian then realized his dream of training horses in Southern Alberta. After three years' hiatus from music, Ian made an album at the urging of his new wife, and discovered that he didn't have to struggle anymore - his audience was there, ready-made, and had already grown into the kind of music he had such a hard time selling before. And he became a legend. Ian was ...

Naadi 2

Naadi Palm Leaf Astrology is an ancient Indian predictive methodology to learn about one's past, present and the future. It is said that thousands of years ago, the great sages of India had the power to look into the past and future of the entire universe and recorded the life of each human being who either lived, were living or were to live. At some point of time, these discussions were written on palm leaves in an ancient Tamil script, which can now only be deciphered by expert Naadi Palm Leaf Readers. I made visits to few such readers. I share my edited experience with you. I had great difficulty on occasions in getting permission to record such readings. I thought that I would never get a chance to record thus I took only basic recording items and no lighting. I do not know Tamil also. This video was a difficult one to get approval on. I did not carry any additional lighting also. Things just got on my side from the moment my wife and I sat at the ashram. Guruji does not like to get into discussions and plainly told me that he does not approve of such issues as video recordings. My humble explanations and convincing him with reasons took some time. He went into a silent mode for some time and later said that it was okay. Many devotees were still arriving so I established my seating position which helped me set up camera on the 'floor'. This would not obstruct people seated. Guruji got his Naadi leaves out and did his prayers. He got hold of some leaves and started ...

Meet Dave Trailer

**READ INFO** Subscribe please it's free!Comment and rate too..Thank's! Meet Dave is a 2008 American family comedy, directed by Brian Robbins and starring Eddie Murphy. The film was co-written by Bill Corbett (of Mystery Science Theater 3000 fame) and Rob Greenberg. The film was released by 20th Century Fox on July 11, 2008 Plot In a New York City apartment a young boy named Josh Morrison (Austin Lynd Myers) watches through his telescope an approaching object coming from the sky. It is a golf ball-sized metal ball which flies through the window of his room and lands in his fishbowl, quickly draining the water. He keeps it and shows it at school in a science class presentation. Some months later, on Liberty Island a massive fireball crash lands. The fireball is actually a spaceship resembling a human (Eddie Murphy). It is controlled by 100 humanoid aliens, each one inch tall. Its captain (also played by Murphy and looking like Dave) pilots the spaceship along with his crew from inside its head. For people the spaceship seems fairly human, but odd and with superpowers. A superstitious cop named Officer Dooley (Scott Caan) is desperately searching for the alien. The aliens are seeking a way to save their planet, Nil, from an energy crisis. For that they need salt, which they plan to produce by draining the Earth's oceans using the metal ball, so they have to recover it. Through a car accident in which the spaceship is hit by the car of Josh's single mother Gina Morrison ...

Memory Cloud

Taking the idea of the smoke signal as a jumping-off point, this exciting installation in Trafalgar Square allows members of the public to send giant text messages across the square, letting them light up the sky with declarations of love and hope or just their favourite Robbie Williams lyric. The installation, which projects messages through a cloud of smoke, is the work of brothers Stephen and Theodore Spyropoulos. Participants can send any message they like: expect marriage proposals, jibes about football teams and the odd piece of philosophy. By the Institute of Contemporary Arts

Four Signs of Cheating in Marriage - Know What to Look For Before It's Too Late!

That sinking, almost nauseous feeling deep in the pit of your stomach just won't go away no matter what you do. You know something's not quite right, but you just can't quite put your finger on it. Maybe your spouse seems a bit distant or a little preoccupied lately, or perhaps they're spending more and more time at work and less and less time at home. Your suspicions that your husband or wife are cheating on you are now running rampant. Is it your imagination? Or, do you really have something to be concerned about?

Read on for the top four signs of cheating in marriage and recognize these telltale signs before it's too late.

1. The Sudden Need for Privacy or "Space"

If, up until now, you and your mate have had an open, honest marriage and shared just about everything together including your spare time, your finances, and your feelings, but now, all of a sudden, they're acting distant, spending more and more time "alone" and behaving as if they need their space, perhaps it's time to see this is a warning sign.

Are credit card or phone bills now off-limits? Does your spouse act nervous when you ask to see the checkbook? Are they on the phone at weird times, acting nervous if you enter the room? What about the cell phone bill, is that community knowledge, or does your spouse covet it and say not to worry as they'll take care of it?

2. Work Habits Have Suddenly Changed

Unless your spouse has recently gotten a promotion or a completely new job with different hours and responsibilities, working late or working at odd hours may indeed be a sign something isn't right. Is your spouse suddenly very interested in their career, spending more time at the office or on the computer dealing with work related issues? Honestly ask yourself if it really is just their job, or if they're merely using it as a smokescreen.

3. Spending More and More Time on the Computer

Unfortunately, today people looking for either physical or emotional affairs or one-night stands don't have to look much farther than their own computer. At any given time, someone, somewhere is more than willing and able to become intimate with someone, regardless of their current marital status.

Become familiar with your computer, learn how to find your internet browser's history to see the sites that have been visited, and if you're really concerned and have no qualms about taking this more serious route, there are always free programs to be had known as keyloggers that record every single keystroke and every website visited on your computer. They install and then run stealthily in the background, unbeknownst to the user that everything they're doing is being recorded.

4. Your Very Own Intuition

Humans are blessed with a sort of built-in radar that alerts us when something isn't quite right with a certain situation. If you've found yourself looking for excuses for your mate's odd behavior, and seem to be either comforting yourself or trying to convince yourself of their innocence, this may also be a telltale warning sign that infidelity has indeed reared its ugly head and sadly found its way into your marriage.

You And I Are Through

My wife and I had been married about 7 years and my son at the time would have been five. Though Id been active duty Army our entire marriage, we had been very fortunate up to this point. We had never been separated for more than a month at a time, when the army would drag my unit out to the woods to play soldier, or out to the warhead bunkers where we would stand a months rotation guarding things that made very big booms when dropped. Well, that luck run out in 1994 when I was sent to Camp Carol Korea for a year. As Korea is still technically a war zone, you are not allowed to take your family with you. My wife and I have always been close and being apart for an entire year was one of the worst things we have ever gone through. Toward the end of that year, the government had decided that the Military was far too large and began offering career soldiers a fairly large amount of money to get out of the service. To say I was torn with indecision would be a huge understatement. I was tired of being away from my family. I was tired of my Son growing up with out his father around. I was tired of being dragged out into the woods for weeks to alternately roast and freeze my butt off. On the other hand, I was proud of my career, and I had 12 years under my belt toward the 20 needed to draw a paycheck and free medical from the Government for the rest of my life. Thats not something you throw away lightly and even now, 14 years later, I can often get sick to my stomach wondering if ...

Satanic activities of the Rabbis and the Popes - Part 3

ROYAL KINGDOM OF GOD: - God is our Father when He protects us and in Him we enjoy FREEWILL. God is Holy Spirit, our Mother that feeds us with His Word. Thus, the First anointed Christ Jesus, the Second anointed Christ Nanak and all those Apostles and Saints of the world are Sons of God as they Represented God in His merciful deeds and Mother when they preached Gospel or fed people with His Word. In God, we have One Father and we are all Brothers and Sisters in spirit. The word Lord does not exist in the Family of God but of the Satan. KINGDOM OF SATAN:- It is just the opposite of the Royal Kingdom of God. Satan hates and rules/lords over people as the Popes did after falling victims to the Third Temptation of the Satan; forget about serving God but worship Mammon for the sake of worldly kingdoms. Thus, the Popes ruled over the countries in the name of our Elder Brother Christ Jesus by bestowing over him the title of Lord. In short, by addressing Jesus as Lord Jesus Christ it makes sense in the kingdom of Satan (Darkness) but not in the Royal Kingdom of God. Our Father God is also not a Lord but a loving Father. This logical deduction may seem odd to many but please ponder over it with an open mind. Also, we have: - WORKERS AND NOT DISCIPLES: - Our Elder Brother Christ Jesus beckoned or picked up His Labourers to join Him in the Vineyard of our Father. Jesus picked up eleven Labourers whilst the twelfth Judas Iscariot begged Jesus to let him join His Team. Judas Iscariot ...

Disney Interracial Propaganda For Black Children

Watch the video that is under copyright dispute here; www.zshare.net VERY INTERESTING ARTICLE ON HOLLYWOOD'S IR PROPAGANDA www.savethemales.ca SEE WHAT OTHER PERVERSE THINGS DISNEY ENDORSES: www.afa.net Evie on Yahoo says: "yeah maybe i just find it odd that of all the princesses, the first interracial couple since pocahontas has to be the story about a black girl. It just doesn't sit well with me that a company with a history like Disney takes forever to actually make a black princess and when they do she is with a non-black man. it doesn't add up to me because that pairing is not even that common in society plus its geared toward children...i just wonder if there's an agenda behind it or they just didn't want a black male figure in their animated films." From other bloggers; "I have my own concerns about The Princess and the Frog. First, Tiana, the black princess, is paired up with a white prince (or at least a prince who looks white and is voiced by a Brazilian actor who also looks white) who has to save her from a black villain. Some might argue that portraying interracial marriage in film is good but why then werent any of the white princesses given non-white princes to save them from white villains? And since Disney doesnt give white princesses non-white princes, isnt this interracial relationship at the expense of black boys who deserve a hero just as much as black girls deserve a heroine? Originally the prince was explicitly reported as being the jazz-loving ...

Marriage Secrets Revealed by Happy People

Who among us has not experienced the feelings of rage, insecurity, fear, or some other "negative" emotion that was triggered by a certain "look" from someone else? If this is something that happens with a chance encounter, like from the waitress waiting on your table as you drive several states away on vacation for example; a waitress that gives you a look that just doesn't "settle" well with you. While it may not be comfortable, it's not like you have to see her every day.

However, if this look is chronic, showing up on a consistent basis from someone you see daily, this might present a challenge. Encounter this "look" from a spouse or significant other on a regular basis, and you have the makings of what we refer to as a "tussle" here in the Midwest.

Unfortunately, all too often our misinterpretation of the facial expressions of others leads to long, arduous, and more importantly, unnecessary turmoil. Odd as it may seem, many of those who have been married for years, have never correctly identified the non-verbal messages offered by their spouse.

This is a very significant marriage secret! It's important to note than the primary reason for these chronic misinterpretations can be found in the fact that for the most part, this all takes place on an unconscious level, just below the threshold that would allow us to "notice" and make clearer distinctions.

Therapists and counselors who have been divorced are often ridiculed for offering marriage "advice" to others. But let me share something with you; if you truly want to learn how to enhance your marriage, find someone who has been divorced, or who has had a very rocky marriage at one time, but then turned things around and now enjoys a truly fulfilling relationship.

Forget about finding a couple that has always had a stable relationship, and asking them how they do it. Why? It's really rather simple. The key is awareness; success is a very poor teacher.

When things are going well, we rarely stop to question why things are running so smoothly. Instead, we just enjoy the fruits of our unconscious labor and almost always struggle when pressed to reveal the real strategies behind our success.

Those who have turned things around on the other hand, have been "prodded" by the pain of their previous condition, to discover and bring into their conscious awareness, the patterns of behavior that were responsible for their strife. Then, they maintain that heightened state of awareness as they methodically integrate new and improved behaviors and habits, thus affording them the opportunity to tell others precisely what they do that creates the happiness they experience.

Those who are the happiest in their marriage and/or relationships have mastered the skill of "reading" the face of those they are close to. While this topic alone could take an entire book to cover every aspect of successfully interpreting the non-verbal signals of others, you don't have to know everything there is to know about it, to be able to benefit tremendously.

John Gottman, the world's foremost researcher on successful marriages offers these four keys to think about, that will enhance your people reading skills and your ability to empower your relationships to unbelievable levels of unity and bliss:

1. Identify what the persons face looks like when they are in a neutral state: You have to have a baseline to work from. It's a whole lot easier to distinguish one expression from another, and more importantly, what it "means", when you know what a "clean slate" face for this person looks like.

2. Realize that people generally experience more than one emotion: What you observe on the face of another is often a confusing mixture of several different emotions at one. If they are trying to conceal their feelings, it gets even trickier. Therefore, thinking, "They're mad, sad, happy, etc. may only be partially true; it may also be that those emotions are very brief.

3. Don't mistake habitual facial features as temporary emotions signals: Some people are "blessed" with mouths that have down turned corners, and they appear to be unhappy just about all of the time. Clearly identify the natural expressions that might have been easily misinterpreted as meaning something that didn't do much to enhance the feelings between the two of you.

4. Slow down, and really LOOK: Since most emotions are fleeting, and therefore speed the corresponding expressions past us in somewhat of a blur at times, it's important that we develop our observational skills over time with practice, just like we do with any other worthwhile endeavor. Look, really look at the face of the other person or loved one when you are communicating with them. When you're uncertain what a look "means" ASK THEM what it means, or what they were feeling just then. As obvious as that seems, it's amazing how many people never do it. They're so certain that they already know what it means, that they don't ever validate it with a simple question.

You've probably already thought of several instances where you wound up in an all out argument with someone you love, simply because on an unconscious level, the look on their face triggered something deep inside you; perhaps the memory of an abusive parent, or a bully at school, and the similar look on their face as they were taunting you.

With associations like this taking place, especially outside of your conscious awareness, it's a given that you'll be needlessly enduring upsets and arguments, over and over again.

While there are many other, far more powerful marriage secrets that the happiest couples utilize, the best place to start is with the very simple, but amazingly effective fundamentals. As the fundamentals go, ceasing to allow loved ones facial expressions to thrust you into overdrive is as basic as it gets.

Enjoy making these discoveries, expanding your awareness of the impact a simple look from another can have on you, and watch what happens to your relationships!

Before You Begin Marriage Counseling, Ask This Question

There's an important question that you need to ask the marriage counselor you and your spouse are considering using. The question itself may surprise you, as well as the answer your potential counselor gives.

It's an often-overlooked question that hardly anyone ever talks about. Therapists don't include it in articles they write about how to select a good counselor, so you're unlikely to read about it. I've never heard of the topic being discussed on the popular daytime television shows that delve into so many varied subjects.

But the answer to this important question could save you time, money, and energy spent with the wrong therapist. It's a good question to use as a deciding factor if you narrow your search for a marriage counselor down to two or three possibilities, and all look fairly equal in education, training, and experience.

What is the question I consider so important that it could be the "deciding vote" in selecting a therapist for marriage counseling? Here it is. Ask the potential marriage counselor(s): "Have you ever participated in extensive personal therapy yourself?"

Then watch the therapist's reaction and listen carefully to what he or she says. Also pay attention to the emotional tone in the response. Consider the following responses to the suggested question. My remarks are in italics in the parenthesis:

1. "No, I've never had to go to counseling."

(Never "had" to go? Do you mean that you're "above" having to go to counseling? That only people who aren't as emotionally stable as you are "have" to go? How will you even know what it's like to go to an unfamiliar office and tell a stranger the most intimate details about your life?)

2. "Yes, I went once for several times when my father died."

(That's slightly better, but what about all that self-growth work counselors are always advocating other people do? Don't you take your own advice?)

3. "No."

(That's odd. Why the one-word answer? It's a logical question to ask. Why would I entrust you with my vulnerability and something as important as my marriage if you've never been to counseling yourself? Why haven't you been? Don't you believe in what you're offering?)

4. "I took part in some counseling when I took my courses for my degree."

(You mean you role played with other students in some of your counseling classes--that doesn't count. You weren't in a real counseling situation and were probably focused on what your classmates and professor thought of your role-playing. That's totally different from participating in therapy to look closely at your own real issues.)

5. "Yes, I have. I've had several years of intensive personal counseling, and I still see a counselor when things come up that I need to process. I know how much courage and commitment it takes to confront personal issues, avoid blaming others, and take responsibility for the quality of one's life."

(Yes, this is the one! He (or she) has gone through the counseling process himself. He won't be just talking about something he has never experienced, and he doesn't sound ashamed that he's had counseling. Instead, he sounds proud of himself for making that choice. I like that he "practices what he preaches" about counseling. He must believe that it helps in some way or he wouldn't have spent so much time and money getting counseling himself.)

Are you surprised to learn that many counselors have never participated in counseling as clients and have never faced their own individual or relationship issues? That they could get their advanced degree and become licensed without having participated in personal growth counseling? It is shocking to think that could happen, but it does--quite often.

Just think about it--would you want to go to a therapist who recommends counseling to others but has never taken her (or his) own advice? Who hasn't dealt with her own personal past and present issues that could impact the recommendations she makes to you? Who doesn't really know how vulnerable you feel as a client and how much courage it takes to make an appointment, sit in the waiting room, and then talk openly to someone you've never seen before?

I can unequivocally say that you should steer clear of counselors who haven't done their own work in counseling--either in individual counseling, relationship or marriage counseling, or both. There's a saying that you can't take other people any further than you've been yourself.

That's certainly true when it comes to counseling. The counselor needs to be very familiar with the terrain--not from only textbook knowledge but from personal experience, also. He (or she) also needs to be able to help you without getting your issues all tangled up in his own unresolved issues--something personal counseling helps a counselor to do more effectively.

So before you sign on with a marriage counselor, ask the important question--"Have you ever participated in extensive personal therapy yourself?"--and be sure that the counselor you select knows the advantages of personal counseling first-hand.

Homosexuals in Lithuania

Gay Prides, gay marriage, two men or women kissing in the street. For the most Dutch people there's nothing weird about that. But in Lithuania, one of the three Baltic states, this subject is still a taboo.

Episode 64 - Sarcasm

I received a lot of backlash on my last video, and the weird part is that the people who commented didn't even realize that I agree with them. Their lack of understanding of the concept of sarcasm spurred the development of what I believe will be the most important video you ever watch: this one.

Complacency, Like Many Other Common Marriage Problems, is Like the Plague

Complacency like many other common marriage problems is a bit like the plague. It's catching and it spreads, you don't hear it and you don't see it and by the time you realise what is happening the damage is done.

Don't ever become complacent, like everything else in life marriage has to be worked at, the relationship nurtured and your partner cared for. If you've fallen into the common marriage problems trap and let the rot set in but want to save your marriage my advice is to go back to basics.

It is so easy to fall into a daily routine, fuelled by responsibilities and just forget what relationships are all about. With so much to do each day, and without the need to plan to meet each other, relationships tend to be pushed to the back, treated as something that doesn't need to be attended to and left to just bumble along.

Often we fail to make time for our partners and when we do, it's often some stolen moments at the end of a long hard day when we lack the energy to show how much we love and appreciate each other and are just too tired to have any fun.

When spouses begin to feel neglected they often start with the subtle plea, a gentle reminder that they feel that they aren't important any more, that they feel unloved, undervalued and that another of those common marriage problems, boredom with the daily routine has set in. And so the rot begins......

It is all too easy to brush aside their pleas, just assume that they know you love them, expect them to understand that you are tired, believe that they will understand that you don't have the time and all too soon the habit continues and you forget the initial signs that the marriage is in trouble.

If you continue to ignore the early unrest it can seem a clear indication to your partner that life is more important than they are. It won't matter that you are getting stick at work or that the children need ferrying around or that other responsibilities are getting in the way, they will just see this big neon sign saying 'you don't love me any more', you don't want to save your marriage, no advice, no gentle nudge, no subtle plea is going to make a difference.

It is critical that no matter what life throws at us we show that we value our partners, and our relationships, every day of our lives. Common marriage problems such as complacency, boredom, jealousy, lack of trust and even infidelity just creep up on us, out of nowhere, and without us making an effort what we craved, what we worked for and what we have enjoyed can crumble away before our very eyes.

All it takes is those small gestures, nothing fancy, nothing time consuming, nothing expensive just small and thoughtful little gestures that show love, respect and affection for each other. An indication that we still appreciate our marriage, our relationship and the life we have together.

If you want to save your marriage, my advice is make your spouse your top priority, let them see that they are valuable and precious, and that above all they and their feelings come first.

Compliments should be regular, not a thing of the past and not something that you believe is no longer required. Make sure your spouse knows that you appreciate them, respect them, love them and admire then and above all make sure that they know that you want to be with them.

Ensure that you spend time together and relax, enjoy and appreciate each others company. Don't loose those intimate moments no matter how hard it is. Touch hands when passing, hold hands when you walk, kiss each other hello and goodbye, make time for a cuddle every day and never loose the excitement of the fleeting glance and the odd caress. If you fail to keep that bond between you your relationship will start to slide and before you know it what was once a loving marriage will become an empty shell.

Complacency is a very true and common marriage problem, don't assume it won't happen to you and don't assume that you know each other so well that you don't need to make an effort. Some marriages take more work than others but all marriages need nurturing to survive.

Common Marriage Problems, Loss of Intimacy

It is amazing the number of couples that allow the intimate side of their relationship slide. Loss of intimacy is one of those common marriage problems that eat away at the very foundation of a marriage turning what was once a loving and fulfilling relationship into nothing more than a shell.

The excuses are all too common, just too busy at work, the children are too demanding, we don't have time or it's just temporary to name but a few. With such easy excuses slipping off the tongue it's just an open door for a myriad of marriage problems to take hold.

Like most common marriage problems if you are prepared to make an effort loss of intimacy in a marriage is relatively easy to resolve but the further apart you allow yourselves to grow the harder it is to get that marriage back on track.

It's so easy just to say we don't have the same feelings anymore and assume that the time has come to draw the line but what about if you just take a step back and attack loss of intimacy in the same way you should handle any common marriage problem. Look at marriage issues as something to be resolved, a minor setback in life and not the end of the journey.

We all face problems at work, with the children and with the family but work problems we handle, children issues we sort out and look how far we have to be pushed before we even consider disowning our family. Why is it then so common for marriages to split up over a few solvable problems?

If we are prepared to make an effort with every other aspect of our lives why do so many couples just fall at the first hurdle? You can't say that living with someone is something we aren't generally used to, after all we have to make allowances for others and cope with family differences as we grow up. What makes couple so what makes couples so blinkered, unbending and uncaring?

So many people loose site of their marriage vows, forget the bit about for better or for worse and assume that as soon as the ring goes on their finger that their work is done. Marriage is never easy almost every marriage has its ups and downs and letting the intimate part of the marriage slide is quite a common marriage problem. The couples that come out on top are those that recognise their failings, accept that some work needs to be done and refocus their attentions on what really matters.

To make a marriage work you need that special relationship time, people need to feel valued, respected, loved and that they are the most important thing in your life. You partner needs attention, the odd little gift, the kiss hello and goodbye, the fleeting caress and a cuddle at the end of the day. Never loose site of what is important and if you've been sidetracked, which is a common thing to do, now is the time to take stock, sort out any marriage problems and get back on the right track. You make time for everything else in your life so don't become complacent with what matters most, your partner and your marriage.
