Ferocious Flirting: Making Marriage Wonderful

It'll Never Die Originally uploaded by ~Madeeha~ . Perhaps the greatest blessing in marriage is that it lasts so long. The years, like the varying interests of each year, combine to buttress and enrich each other. Out of many shared years, one life.

Copyright © 2007 Wesley Berry, AAF Believe it or not, Valentine's Day-the most romantic day of the year-grew out of the imprisonment of a priest in the days of emperor Claudius II. Though it had a rather ominous start, today Valentine's Day is a day when we give gifts of flowers and candy to our loved ones to remind them of how much they mean to us. In the year 270 A.D., Roman emperor Claudius II banned marriage believing that the men of his country would be more likely to join his army if they were unmarried, rather than married men who would be leaving wives and children behind. But, Valentine, a priest in Rome, fervently disagreed with the decree. He continued to perform secret ceremonies to join couples in matrimony. His defiance cost him his life.

We will "regift" the goodies by sharing them with people at work or family we visit. That way everyone can enjoy. I wonder why they are called goodies if they are not good for you. A friend of mine received an interesting regift. It was a gift certificate to a chocolate shop. The thing was the recipient name had been whited-out and had had a new name written in. The whiting out had happened multiple times. Can you use the gift certificate or should you, like a chain le

granny's preserves Originally uploaded by thyladyinred . As we were going through my grandmother's things after her passing, my wife came across a wonderful old composition book. It apparently belonged to my grandmother's grandmother and has just a few short pages. One of the pages is dated 1919.

Be careful in your selection, do not choose too young When once selected, give your entire thought for domestic use Some insist in keeping them in a pickle, others are constantly in hot water. This may make them sour, hard and sometimes bitter Even poor varieties may be made sweet, tender and good garnishing them with patience well sweetened with love and and seasoned with kisses Wrap them in a mantle of charity Keep warm with a fire of domestic devotion And serve with peaches and cream Thus prepared, they will keep you for years.

horse at sunset #47 Originally uploaded by Serni . People have many needs. Our basic needs include food, shelter and companionship. People in relationships also have emotional needs. These needs include a hug, a warm smile, a laugh, a sense of appreciation and time together. These emotional needs vary with time and circumstance.
