#Relationship: Top Questions To Ask Yourself Before The Knot

For Singles who think getting married is like the throes of infatuation, lust and everything just seems so nice, , do you have a realistic picture of what it takes?

Take a step back and answer these questions:

1. What are your reasons for wanting to get married?

2. What would marriage give you that you don't already have?

3. What would you be giving up? You can list your pros and cons of marriage.

4. Are you ready to loose that freedom that comes with being Single?

5. How do you view marriage? What's your opinion of marriage? Do you have positive thoughts about marriage? Or do you have a negative view of marriage?

6. How much of your time would you be willing to devote to a life partner?

7. What are your top priorities in your life? List your top priorities in life. If finding a marriage partner or making the most of your current relationship is one of the top two, then you are probably ready for marriage.

8. Are you willing to make the compromises to be a "we" instead of a "me?" Once you find the person you believe to be "the one," are you willing to sacrifice in order to make the marriage work?

9. Are you emotionally available for a Marriage?

10. How sure are you that you are ready for Marriage and not because of material values or gains?

11. Do you think marriage is going to fix what’s ailing in your relationship?

12. Do you want “it” and not me?

13. What do you think marriage is supposed to be like? Checking out the fantasy levels about what marriage should be like to both parties will save a lot of grief later on.

14. Do you want children and how many considering the serious impact in regard to how children affect finances, religion, family and lifestyle?

15. What role does religion play in your lives, are you ready to compromise?

16. How much do you want our families involved in your lives?

17. How would you resolve a disagreement? Are you willing to look at your part in a conflict? Do you need to be right? Are you defensive, critical, sarcastic or do they turn off during arguments? Are you forgiving, tolerant, understanding, tender and empathic?

Singles who are ready for marriage are tired of the dating merry-go-round. They want some kind of stability in their life. They desire to spend their energies on building a relationship and want to get beyond the "good for now" mindset.

You are the only person who can say if you are ready or not for marriage.

It takes giving yourself a very honest assessment.

#Kidsco: That Child Deserves Your Recognition

As little as your kid might be he/she deserves recognition for that little effort of his/hers.

CASESTUDY:

I watched with interest as a mother belittled her daughter in front of the class teacher and her classmates. The Teacher had called the mother and notified her that her little daughter has to move to the next class for her level of understanding. I smiled and said internally "that’s a mother’s pride" until I received the shock of my life, the mother was so quick to cut the teacher off by clearly stating that her daughter isnt briliant but a dullard. The class teacher wondering if they were speaking of the same child decided to call the daughter to recite some works taught in previous class; at this point the mother stopped the child from answering the teacher and firmly told the teacher to make the child repeat the same class. The teacher had a confused look but wasn’t as confused as I was.

The question I asked internally was ‘What could have made her belittle her daughter in such manner?’ Finances or is the daughter having double personalities in her?

Every child is a gift, a gift of love to behold especially to the mother.

A child subjected to such humiliation can recoil back into herself and become a dullard just as the mother wished.

Kids are fragile thus parents need to watch the words of their mouth concerning every little activity they engage in both at home, in school and among peers.

Your kids need encouragement, understanding when they don’t meet up, support in activities they can comprehend with at such tender age.

Every child is different thus their accomplishments will be different.

Some of them at younger age may read better than another one at older age.

Some of them will be among the brilliant students while some other ones may need additional tutoring.

No matter how different your kids are and their little accomplishment, celebrate them for every child deserves a feel of success.

Let’s give our children the gift of growing up saying "My parent believed in me, they were my biggest fans and never failed to tell me how proud they were of me".

When we love we build up those around us, we don’t destroy them.

When we love we offer guidance and positive reassurance instead  of cruel critizicim and fake devotion.

When we love a child, we build their character, we wish and hope for the best.

We make them feel unique, we inspire them to discover their infinite potential.

We guide them ; we teach them ; we learn from them; we thank them for bringing honour to you as parents and most importantly we pray for them because LOVE is made of LOVE.

To a small child, the parent is a god--someone he/she trusts implicitly and automatically, to protect and care for them.

No matter what your status is, it is not easy raising a child however as a mother never fail to remember that moment you were in the labour room bringing forth a life that deserves your LOVE and SUPPORT.

As a father, your kids deserves your PRESENCE, LOVE, SUPPORT and UNDERSTANDING.

Just a little bit of Love turns things around how much more an endless shower of Love...

#Relationship: 36 Questions that can make you fall in Love

36 questions that can make you fall in love with a complete stranger sounds absurd but true.

The questions were devised Twenty years ago by social psychologist Arthur Aron.

Research conducted shows that the questions are so revealing that they would cause people to fall in love with each other if they answered them together.

Aron put his theory to the test by having two heterosexual
strangers, who entered the lab through separate doors, sit
face to face, and answer a set of personal questions.
Afterwards, they would stare silently into each other’s eyes for
four minutes. The most astonishing part of the story is that
just six months later, the participants got married.

The questions are believed can lead to an “accelerated chemistry” creating a new intimacy.


To answer the question, there are just three simple rules:

1. Allow for a maximum of 90 minutes to answer the questions

#DFIM : Overcoming Menstral Pains with P2 Theraphy

Every woman experiences the monthly blood discharge known as Menstral Cycle.

The pains that come with this monthly cycle is common among most ladies in different ways.

Some women would be in slight pains a week or few days  before the start of thier monthly cycle.

While most women experience such pains during the cycle.

These pains subject most women to taking painkiller drugs which is not too advisable during the cycle period.

However unknown to most women that two common fruits can actually ease and totally take the pains away.

The mixture of Pineapple and Pawpaw does the magic...



PAWPAW (PAPAYA)

Papayas offer not only the luscious taste and sunlit color of the tropics, but are rich sources of antioxidant nutrients such as carotenes, vitamin C and flavonoids; the B vitamins, folate and pantothenic acid; and the minerals, potassium, copper, and magnesium; and fiber.

Papaya contains several unique protein-digesting enzymes including papain and chymopapain. These enzymes have been shown to help lower inflammation and to improve healing from burns. In addition, the antioxidant nutrients found in papaya, including vitamin C and beta-carotene, are also very good at reducing inflammation.


PINEAPPLE

Pineapple is a nutritious fruit. It contains 15 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams. And contains other vitamins such as: Vitamin B-12, B-6, A, E, K, Folate, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic acid, Tocopherol, Beta & Alpha Carotene and Cryptoxanthin

Due to a complex mixture of substances that can be extracted from the core of the pineapple, well known as bromelain, pineapples can help reduce severe inflammation .


RELIEF TIP:

In calculating the next phase of your menstral cycle, start the P2 Theraphy a week before the calculated day.

1. Dice small amount of Pineapple.

2. Dice another small amount of Pawpaw.

3. Mix the two fruits and refrigerate

4. Take a bowlfull early hours of the morning before any meal.

5. Take another bowlfull before you finally get into bed as the last meal of the day.

6. Make sure you get fresh pineapple and pawpaw each day, no leftovers.Fruits that stay too long in the refrigerator lose thier touch of vitamins.


Immediately you feel the flow of your cyle, stop the P2 theraphy.

Keeping to this theraphy makes your menstral period painless.

Open to all ages still active in experiencing the menstral cycle.

#Friendship: Be A Friend that Counts

No matter what your status is, friendships are one of the most important constants in ones life.

Have you ever sat down to evaluate the kind of friends you have in your life?

Have you ever tried scrutinizing your list of friends to get rid of no value adding friends?

Have you ever searched yourself as well as to know the type of friend you are to those peers you call friends?

What are the most important things to consider when you evaluate your friendships with others?

 What makes friendship work?


CONCERN

A true friend will always be on the look out for his friends.

Come up with a positive resolution to anything happening in their friends lives.

Must not look away from the negative attribute of another but tends to give advice and reproach as at when due.

A friendship based on deceit eventually breaks up and leave enmity.



HONESTY

Truthfulness, sincerity and frankness paves way for a friendship built on solid rock.

The truth hurts and your decision to talk will sometimes test your strength and bravery at some point.

 Whether it's an opinion on a significant issue, professional work or on personal grounds, tell the truth.

Telling the truth matters no matter where it might hurt, but it'll never be worse than being lied to.



UNDERSTANDING

There are always two sides to so most things in life thus a friend can never be perfect.

In healthy relationships, the parties involved are able to be themselves from the most modest to the most Looney of the crazies.

The uniqueness in every friend leaves room for teasing, laughing, and embracing the fact that you are all individually yourselves, different and not afraid to show it.

However do not make excuses or give room to condone negative attributes in friendship.



SUPPORT

 Life is full of unexpected challenges thus learn to be supportive in these days.

Friends you watch their back will always learn to watch yours.

Encourage their endeavors and they'll watch yours.

Motivate them and be supportive with your actions at all times.



VALUE

True friendship must add value to one's life, this does not necessarily mean financial value but by good deeds, kind words etc

Above all true friendship must make positive contributions and enrich our lives which is important for our spirit, mind, and health.

Friendship that brings more of aches, emotional imbalance or negative vibes should be avoided.
