| Article Title :: An Inexpensive, Yet Beautiful, Wedding: One Bride's Story |
| |
|
Most girls know by the age of 12 what kind of wedding they want.
They have everything picked out, from what their wedding dress
will look like to the husband they will marry. I didn’t have a
clue. And I still didn’t have a clue at the age of 28, when the
saleslady at the wedding shop was asking me what I wanted for a
wedding dress.
One thing that I did know was that I wanted an inexpensive
wedding. While I didn’t want to have a “garage sale wedding,” I
also didn’t want to spend the average of $20,000 either. But
still, I wanted the white dress, the nice reception, the food
and DJ. So I had to find a way to make it happen without going
broke.
In the end, I kept under my weddin (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Have they really changed? |
| |
|
Take a moment to think back to when you first met your partner.
Remember how that felt? That warm, sunny glow that seemed to
spill over into everything? No doubt your partner did things
that weren't perfect, no doubt they exhibited some of the
characteristics then that you find so irritating now.
What changed? Many things I imagine, but significantly, your
perspective.
What may have been a minor irritation back then may well be a
major flaw by now. Strangely enough, the things people find
endearing in their partners to start with can become major
frustrations down the track.
At first we like that our partner is different to us, it
complements us, balances us. As time goes by, thos (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Wedding Bouquet |
| |
|
When we think of weddings there are a few images that come
automatically to our minds. We may think of churches decorated
with beautiful flowers or of groomsmen looking somehow
uncomfortable and debonair at the same time in their rented
tuxedos. We may think of bridesmaids adorned in dresses that
they would never be caught dead in elsewhere or of adorable
small children acting as ring bearers and flower girls, thrilled
to be the focus of attention for those few moments that they
spend walking down the aisle. One image that invariably comes to
mind is that of the bride in her white dress and veil carrying a
beautiful bouquet of flowers. For some reason, when we think of
a wedding, we always (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Guidelines For Wedding Announcements |
| |
|
Getting married is one of the most exciting things that a person
can do. While the process of planning and executing a wedding
ceremony takes a lot of time and attention to detail, once it’s
all over it is obvious that all of the stress involved was well
worth it. Once the wedding is done, however, there are still a
few details that should be looked after. Wedding announcements
fall into this category.
Wedding announcements are intended to let people know that you
are now married. The responsibility for creating them typically
falls upon the bride or her family and there are a number of
ways of completing wedding announcements.
Newspaper wedding announcements are quite common. If you ch (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Negotiation Strategies Especially for Couples |
| |
|
These guidelines will help you avoid the three most common
negotiating mistakes couples make: 1) Failure to prepare before
the negotiation with your partner; 2) Caving in too quickly to
avoid tension or to keep the peace; and 3) Stubbornly pushing
too hard for your own solution.
Why Learn to Negotiate with your Partner?
Conflict is inevitable for growth in your relationship. Many
people are frightened of conflict because they can't negotiate.
Once you learn to negotiate you won't be so afraid of conflict.
Good negotiation leads to acceptable solutions that work for
both of you and will strengthen your relationship. Your
communication skills automatically improve as you develop (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Write An Apology To Your Spouse: How to Apologize In a Way That
Really Works For You |
| |
|
Being apologetic doesn't come easily for me. Unfortunately,
being inconsiderate and self-centered does. So I realized long
ago that my marital survival would depend on two things: 1)
learning to apologize and 2) becoming less selfish and more
considerate.
It was easier to start with apologies. Over time I got better
and better at learning how to apologize. I was amazed at the
effect.
First, it was the basic mumbling of, "I'm sorry." Those two
words were remarkable in healing bruised feelings. It was as if
I had a license to do what I wanted-- as long as I looked
sincere and said, "I'm sorry." It was like having a "Get out of
jail free" Monopoly card.
When my apology failed to prod (read full article) |

|
A few days ago, we went to dinner at a local restaurant with a
few friends who were visiting from out-of-town.
Since this is a very popular place to eat, we were told that the
wait would be 30-40 minutes. While we were waiting to be seated,
we talked, laughed, had fun and even sang and danced to the
music that was playing in the background.
Although the hostess thought we were acting very strangely for
seemingly normal adults in their 30's, 40's and 50's, she began
having fun with us, as well as some of the other people who were
waiting with us.
As we were seated well under the 30-40 minute wait, we continued
our fun with the waitress as we ordered and ate our food. The
owner, who had l (read full article) |

Everyone has something they'd like to change in their spouse.
Here is a 7-step process to create a change in your partner. The
key to the success of this process is that it makes your partner
