I love you – how to say this? Many of us in love have great difficulty saying this. Yesterday I read a post by a girl in a forum saying that her boy friend was waiting for her to say I love you and she was waiting for him to say-I love you.

How about using ecards to say I love you avoid the hesitation? This takes courage to say I love you for the first time, because the reaction is never known and one worries about what the reaction may be. Ecards are the best way to say I love you and wait for the response. You will avoid lot of trouble with this method.

Love ecards come under different topics. They are generally – Free Love Ecards, Be Mine Forever Ecards, Birthday Ecards, Crazy In love Ecards, Let Me Love You Ecards, Love Notes Ecards, Miss You Ecards, Marry Me Ecards, and I Love You Ecards.
Depending on your need of expression, you can chose few of these ecards and send them across.

Select lovely colors of ecards. The design should be very beautiful and enchanting. The whole effect should be very romantic. The recipient should go in the romantic mood after looking at the ecard. Love and romance should pour from the ecard and the text should be very exciting and passionate. Love is a game of feelings. The cards should do that with design, images, text and color.

Select the right ecard and send it across. If your choice is right, you will get one card saying I love you in return mail. To express the intensity of your love, send as many ecards as you can at the very first instant and hope for the best. It will happen.

Second marriage showers have become a growing trend. Most of us know couples who have been married before. A bridal shower is planned to celebrate a new love and an upcoming marriage, so it’s appropriate to have one.

Second marriage showers involve many of the same bridal shower ideas as for a first marriage. Answering some of the questions you may have about second wedding showers will help:

Who hosts the shower?

The maid of honor and/or bridesmaids typically host the bridal shower. It may, however, be given by any close friend. Second marriage showers are often couples showers. If this is the case, get the groomsmen involved.

Who is to be invited?

It is best to ask the future bride (and groom, if a couples shower), for a guest list. It is proper to send a bridal shower invitation only to those who will be invited to the wedding.

When should the party be given?

Four to six weeks before the wedding is a good choice.

Where should the second wedding shower take place?

Often less traditional, they can be held at a home, hall or favorite local bar/restaurant of the couple.

How about decorations?

Second marriage showers are often casual. They might have a theme, such as a luau, or western party, with decorations to match. Keeping things simple and fun, will add to your partys success.

What about games?

Choosing games that are related to the theme, is a good option.

Are gifts given?

This depends on the couples age, and financial position. Some couples are young and still need many of the basics. Older, well established.couples, may request that guests make a donation to a charity. If this is their wish, state it in the invitation. The bridal party may still want to do something special for the couple.

A final thought:

Second marriages often involve children from a previous marriage. Involve them in your plans, no matter what the age. This will help contribute to a successful second bridal shower.

In most cultures there is usually at least one child in the entourage – the flower girl. Mainly though, weddings are an adult affair. It can be quite boring for kids.

Imagine if you’re four, dressed in formal clothes then told to sit still for at least an hour while the ceremony goes on. Then when you get to the reception you still can’t play and aren’t allowed to touch the beautiful cake. What a bummer!

As the hosts, it is up to the bride and groom to decide whether or not the kids are allowed to be present. Keep in mind that when bored, it is perfectly normal for kids to run around, screaming at the top of their lungs. Their parents may or may not even be able to keep them in line.

You can actually specify it in the invitation. Most parents will quite understand of the fact that the event is not very comfortable for children; in fact they will usually think of it themselves. It will still be better if you explain it to them in person rather than as a note on the invitation.

On the other hand, if you don’t mind their presence, it would be greatly appreciated by the parents of the kids if you would include them in your guest list. If there are a sufficient number of young guests, you could put them together at one table so that they can interact with each other and keep each other amused. Who knows, you may actually be introducing future mates.

To raise questions about your marriage and relationship and try to find answers is a very helpful exercise. It reveals quite a lot about the present state of affairs and gives hint about what corrective action can be taken to make the marriage stronger. One should not take the marriage and the relationship for granted but keep on quizzing about how it is going. Questions such as – what joy are we getting in our marriage, what faith we have in each other, are we in love, and so on will make anyone think and ponder over the married relationship.

A marriage is like a river. It keeps on flowing through different obstacles. Consider the sea as the goal of marriage – to get joy in a married relationship and have a long and fulfilling marriage. During the journey, a marriage will go through many ups and downs. It is for us to quiz ourselves about our marriage and sort out the issues that hurt us.

We tend to forget that our marriage is made of two people. Our focus is always on how we feel, what we want, what we are getting, how to satisfy ourselves more, our partner’s behavior with us and so on. As we focus more about ourselves, our partner gets to feel neglected. It is difficult to say how many of us quiz their partner about how they are feeling with the marriage and raise all the questions in the context of how they are feeling and what they desire.

As we focus not only on ourselves but also on our partner, the marriage will become stronger. Because the partner will get the feeling of getting attention about his/her feelings. Our selfishness should not kill our marriage, because it will always end in a disaster. One fine day when our partner walks out, we are shocked and wonder – what went wrong? We should have taken more care of our partner’s feeling, desires and emotions. We never did that. So the result was their walking out. Why should we get surprised? We did that. Therefore it is important to quiz ourselves and our partner about our marriage continuously. That will show us the areas of dissatisfaction. That will make us aware of what has to be set right and what changes need to be brought to make a better marriage.

You can try the marriage and relationship quizzes on Internet Websites to find out more about your married relationship. The more you know, the better informed you get. With more information, you can find out timely solutions to any cracks that may be developing in your marriage. A marriage should make us happy and not miserable.

There’s no one simple answer to the question that I’m often asked, “Should I stay in my marriage, even though I’m unhappy, or should I leave?” It’s impossible to give a “one size fits all” response because every marriage is different.

But there are some general guidelines that you can consider if you’re in this situation. Use these thirteen tips to reflect on your marriage, your energy level, your commitment, and the degree of your dissatisfaction.

1. Don’t give up prematurely. You have invested time, energy, money, hopes and dreams in your marriage. The only way many people can initiate divorce without feeling unduly guilty is to know that they have tried everything they possibly could to make the marriage better. It just makes good sense to focus on how you can improve the relationship you’re in now.

2. Consider your children and how a divorce could impact them. Divorce is never easy. Preschool children and kids who are still in school will be affected in ways grown children are not, such as possible changes in schools if a parent moves, a parent possibly having to work two jobs to make it financially, the loss of daily contact with both parents, etc.

3. If your spouse has an addiction or is abusive, utilize all resources and support groups that offer help. For example, If your spouse is an alcoholic, join Al-Anon, which provides support for family members, and get your teenage children involved in Alateen so they can get the support they need to deal with the home situation. Of course, a top priority is keeping your children safe, so do not keep them in any situation that is dangerous for them.

4. Focus on how you can change yourself to be a better partner instead of how you want to “fix” your spouse. When you work on improving yourself and changing non-productive habits and approaches, then your spouse will have to relate to you differently. You may have gotten in a habitual mode of pushing each other’s buttons in the same way and always eliciting the same response. But if you change your normal response, then the interaction between the two of you will change.

5. Have on-going support from a counselor who knows your issues and what you are going through. This will give you the help and encouragement you need to keep trying new things and experimenting with new approaches.

6. Encourage your spouse to consider marriage counseling. If finances are a problem, call your local Chamber of Commerce or the mayor’s office and ask which agencies in your community offer sliding scale fees based on income. Also, some churches offer counseling services, and some ministers provide counseling. Don’t automatically assume that you can’t afford counseling.

7. Examine whether or not you are depending too much on your spouse to meet your needs or “make you happy.” No one else can make you happy; it’s an inside job. And no one person can meet all the needs of another. That’s why you need friends, hobbies, and outside activities. Expand your world and see if this takes some of the pressure off of your marriage.

8. Keep a gratitude journal each day, listing all of the things you are thankful for in your life. Each day, try to find five or six new things to list that you haven’t written down before. During the day, notice what happens that’s a blessing: the friendly sales clerk who efficiently handles your refund with a smile, the parking space that suddenly opens up just when you need it, or an unexpected compliment from a co-worker.

9. Make a list of your spouse’s positive qualities and contributions to your marriage, including things he or she has done that you appreciate. Read over this list every morning and every evening, anchoring these good points in your mind. At some point, share your list with your spouse.

10. Make a consistent effort to be positive and encouraging. Sandwich any criticism or request for a change in behavior between two compliments. For example, “You’re always so responsible about mowing the yard each weekend. Could you also sweep the grass clippings off the sidewalk? Thanks for all you do to help keep the yard looking so good.”

11. Work on keeping your heart open in love to your spouse. It’s easy to close down emotionally when you’re angry or hurt. Visualize beams of love or golden light radiating out from your heart to your spouse’s heart. You can dislike the behavior but still love the person. When you send the energy of judgment and criticism to another, the response will be very different than when you send the energy of unconditional love.

12. Try writing your thoughts, feelings, and requests in a letter to your spouse. There are many spouses who have responded positively to a letter who have been notorious for tuning out the spouse’s verbal pleas for years. It’s a different medium of communication, and it often commands more attention.

13. When you have given your marriage your best efforts for at least a year and nothing has changed, then ask yourself the famous Ann Landers question, “Are you better off with him (or her) or without him?” Life is too short to stay stuck in a miserable marriage for years if you are the only one who wants your relationship to be different. Even at this point, though, sometimes the shock of having a spouse initiate a legal separation makes the other partner finally realize the seriousness of the situation and agree to work on the marriage.

You may be asked to arrange for the limousine or getaway cars. If opting for a limousine, be sure to book it well in advance, there may be a waiting list due to time of year.

Attend the rehearsal and dinner. The wedding party will walk through the ceremony and receive any last minute instructions. Be prepared, you may be asked to say a few words at the dinner.

Now the wedding day has arrived. You are in charge of making sure the groomsmen are on time, dressed and matching. Check on the groom too! He may need help with his attire.

Make the rounds. Check on the clergy, mothers and fathers. Be sure they are where they are supposed to be. Also make sure the ushers have seated guests in the correct places.

During the ceremony, you are in possession of the bride’s ring.

Finally! The wedding is over. You may think it’s time for you to relax. Not so! There are just a few more details to cover. Sign the marriage certificate. Dance with the maid of honor during the first official dance.

The sea has always had a magical touch and flavor to humans. For some reasons, its power goes beyond marine environment, but often moves to different fields, like romance and weddings. Nowadays, many people chose to use sea shell wedding favors to remember their weddings and to give a little memory to their beloved ones that attended the reception. Of course, such style is very popular among those who get married in beach places, being a town or a resort, but they are also very common for those who choose exotic getaway places to have a real special and extravagant wedding, like in Tahiti or some gorgeous island in the Caribbean.

Sea shell wedding favors come in different items. There are picture frames, candles, little figurines and many more. To find the best, it is really advisable to consult with a specialized retailer, that is not only about weddings, but that also understands sea and its elements. If your are a sea person, you know what I am referring to and if you are not a sea person, you will know it when you will talk to the right salesperson. Sea shell wedding favors are not unusual, so don’t be shy if you want to use them, but don’t ever do that in a mountain location or in a city wedding, because probably, it would not be a really good match.
