Prenuptial Agreements

“Til death do us part” is still the language used in most weddings. Couples enter marriage with the hope of making a lifetime commitment. If this goal is not reached or if a spouse dies, the desire to be a couple is so ingrained that most will marry again.

The inability of the marriage laws to meet the needs of many couples makes the concept of a marital agreement quite positive, despite the bad publicity premarital agreements have reached. The freedom to structure a relationship should not be determined by laws that do not reflect the changing realities of family life in American today.

There is no firm tradition of marital contracts in our country because of the inherent resistance of comparing love to a business deal. Many civilized societies through the ages, however, have documented marital agreements with written documents.

Celebrities and the media have made couples aware of the concept of a contract executed between a married couple, whether terming it a premarital, prenuptial, antenuptial or postmarital agreement. The rich have known about them for years, but middle-class America, alarmed about the rising divorce rate, is anxious to know more.

Who Needs Them?

Anyone about to enter a marriage who is concerned about the inadequacies of the laws in the face of today’s social realities;

Anyone who is remarrying;

Anyone concerned about protecting the assets of children from a prior marriage;

Anyone who has a financially dependent parent;

Business owners, particularly of professional practices and particularly those with business partners, because a spouse effectively becomes a silent partner in the business

Anyone with significant separate property in states where a spouse is entitled to a share of income from separate property.

Anyone whose intended spouse has significant premarital responsibilities, such as alimony, child support, or tax obligations.

Anyone cautious enough to prefer a written record of the ownership of assets to avoid confusion in the future from creditors or other family members.

It’s not romantic; it’s practical. And limiting a spouse’s take upon divorce is far from the only purpose, despite the perception gleaned from the popular press. Doesn’t it make sense to make decisions under the best of circumstances instead of during the emotional upheaval of a troubled relationship?

As with most things, there’s good news and bad news about private marital contracts. The openness needed for such an agreement is good for a relationship; the implication of a lack of trust is bad. A marital contract can avoid expensive and emotionally debilitating divorce trials, but it’s expensive to enforce any contract in court. Such an agreement will reduce to writing the agreement for division of property upon divorce, although it can prevent a spouse from obtaining marital rights upon divorce.

Know Your Man: Being on His Side

“Stand by your man,” the song goes. “Love him and be proud of him for he is just a man.” ~ Tammy Wynette and Billy Sherrill

Remember Jackie O. and President Kennedy and more recently Hillary and President Clinton? Despite being public humiliated, they stood by their man. Stand by your man, especially in public. He may have done something wrong, in which case, chances are he will regret it if he hasn’t done so already. Support him but have a good conversation when you have a chance. This is a gesture that will be forever appreciated.

Public disgrace and humiliation are already devastating without the aggravation of having you turn your back at him or put him down in public. The scene that always comes to my mind is the one when Marilyn Monroe sang “Happy Birthday” to JFK at his 45th birthday party.

It was such an obvious teaser, and done on purpose, too. People were laughing. Even he looked embarrassed. And his wife was smiling and pretending she enjoyed the truth of her husband’s indiscretion being thrown at her face. I bet she was devastated inside. Nevertheless, she stood by her man and smiled to the very end of the provocation.

Now, if that isn’t class, I don’t know what is. Though no one is to judge the whole affair, it is certainly that, in the public eye, Jackie was a winner. Situations like this, perhaps in much smaller scale, happen all the time. It is good for a man to be supported by his spouse, at least until they get home.

A Word of Advice:

Ladies: Hurt inside, but keep your class. It is infinitely better to face misfortune standing up, than retaliate dragging on the floor.

Gents: Avoid situations which can be publicly humiliating for you and consider yourself fortunate when your spouse stands by you.

All You Need Is Love

All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
All you need is love (all together now)
All you need is love (everybody)
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.

I am sure you have all heard this Beatles’ song. Some of the Beatles music was very spiritually profound for the time.

I recently attempted to explain to someone the meaning of ‘The Light’ and ‘Increasing One’s Vibration’. He did not understand why it was important to be ‘In the Light’. How did he know that going to the Light wouldn’t make him food for a higher species? He had seen a Star Trek episode once where one of the characters avoided the Light so as not to be eaten. How did he know this was not a reality? How can any of us know?

People are drawn to different colors of Light. To some it is supposed to be White. Others prefer Gold or Violet. Still others prefer a Crystalline Light.

Everyone has their own concept of what ’The Light’ is. To some people, The Light is God, or a Higher Power. To some it is just Energy.

The person I was trying to explain this to does not believe in a ‘God’ and is not sure about a Higher Power. He had no concept of what it meant and I was stumped as to how to explain it.

Finally, one of my Guides gave me the answer. LOVE.

LOVE is a concept everyone can understand! We all know what love feels like. LOVE is not necessarily related to ‘God’ or a Higher Power. LOVE is a concept that anyone can grasp - Atheist, Christian, Buddhist, Agnostic, etc. LOVE is not a religion and does not have any dogma attached to it. LOVE is understood in any language and any belief system. LOVE is a feeling that we can all relate to.

We all experience LOVE. We feel LOVE for people and pets. We feel LOVE when we look at the first flower of spring. We feel LOVE when we look at a gorgeous sunset. We feel LOVE when we see a newborn baby. We feel LOVE when we connect with ‘God’.

We can all accept that it is better to love others. When we live in the energy of LOVE, our vibration increases. When our vibration increases, we become LIGHT or LOVE. They are one and the same. When we send LOVE to a situation, it improves. When we send LOVE to an area of our life that is not working, it improves. When we send LOVE to a part of our body that is in pain, the pain lessens.

So, instead of attempting to explain Light to people, speak about LOVE. They will definitely be able to understand what you are talking about. Instead of trying to bring people into The Light, bring them to LOVE. It will be much less complicated.

Lonely? 7 Tips That Will Change Your Life

Are you lonely?

Have no dates? Few friends? Do you find yourself spending weekends with annoying relatives who imply you’re a loser because you’re not married? Or, worse, do you spend most of your time with another single woman who’s convinced that all the good men are taken, dead, or in jail?

You, my friend, are in a rut.

Fortunately, there’s a way out. And it doesn′t matter what you look like, whether you hold an MFA or a GED, or where you live. Here’s my 7-point plan for making new friends, attracting the opposite sex, and transforming your life:

1) Change begins from the inside out. Change yourself, and the world changes, too. For example, if you lack self-confidence, people pick up on that. Ever notice how the woman who can’t say no is the one everyone dumps on? Or how the chubby woman who feels great about herself always has a boyfriend?

Another benefit of cultivating confidence and self-esteem: Users, abusers, manipulators, and complainers will quickly fade out of your life. Fun, helpful, loyal, and positive people will replace them.

To facilitate a great self-image, look in the mirror and say, “I love and approve of myself.” Say this out loud while you’re in the shower and while you’re stirring the spaghetti sauce (just don’t say it out loud to the clerk at Starbucks). Say it one hundred times a day, and you’ll soon feel a shift in yourself. Then your world will shift, too.

2) Get out of the house. I don′t care whether you join a book club, a bowling league, or a political movement, you must escape your comfort zone (otherwise known as a rut). Go where likeminded people will likely show up. After a widowed friend of mine joined a support group for people who lost loved ones to cancer, he made a wonderful new friend who recently became his wife.

3) Ask open-ended questions. If you’re shy and don’t know what to say, ask people about themselves. Everybody loves a listener!

4) Never complain, never explain. “The surest route to unpopularity is to talk about your ailments,” my mother used to say. Sure, moaning about the corn on your big toe may elicit polite murmurs of sympathy, but it won’t make you any friends. Avoid lengthy explanations, as well. If you got stuck in traffic on your way to your book club meeting, for example, apologize but don’t go on and on about it.

5) Smile. My brother claims that I didn’t start smiling until I turned 23. The sad thing is, he’s right. I once feared smiling made me look over-eager and easily fooled, and it definitely influenced circumstances in my life. Once I understood how smiling put other people at ease and conveyed approachablility, I made a conscious effort to do it. If you’re not a smiler, start now. And be sure to show teeth!

6) Treat others as you would have them treat you. And if they don’t treat you as you would treat them, keep moving.

7) Be consistent. Use these tips daily. If you think they’re too easy to make a change, you’re wrong. Head into the bathroom now and start using the affirmation. Then follow through with the rest of the tips. Within 60 days you will be safely out your rut, have made a new friend or two, and perhaps even met a man who makes you laugh and considers your happiness his first priority.

Get going!

Wedding Items to Get for Your Wedding - Part 1

Do you know what to get for your wedding? I’m sure you may be already overwhelmed by the endless list of wedding items you need to get them, not forgetting you still have an endless list of things to do.

As for me, I even forgot about getting my Ang Pow Box till the week before my wedding. There are just too many things on my mind.

I will be doing a few posts on the wedding items wedding couples need to get or make.

Yes, some wedding couples I know make their very own wedding items.

For me, I had to learnt what are the things to do-it-yourself or buy. If you are talking about the wedding items in large quantity, please spend some money to get them. Imagine having already spent a few thousands of dollars on your honey moon trip, wedding gowns and photohsoot, what is another tens of dollars for a nicer wedding item say wedding favors or an ang pow box and the ring pillow?

Here are first 5 items you need for your wedding:

Flower basket:
Do you have flower girls to sprinkle rose petals as you are walking down the aisle with your dear one? These flower girls need a flower basket to put their flowers. I know some brides actually knitted the baskets themselves. Yes, you can do it only if you have time.

Corsages:
Just in case you do not know what a corsage is, it is a flower accessory tied around the wrist of bridesmaids during wedding. Please get corsages that suit your wedding theme and let your bridesmaids know the color theme too. A color contrast of the flowers and the dresses could make the bridesmaids feel awkward.

Ang Pow Box:
An Ang Pow Box is a box to contain the many red packets that friends and relatives will be giving just before the wedding dinner. I intended to make my very own Ang Pow Box for my wedding but I realised I didn’t have time.

My colleague was very kind to do one for me but it ended up to be quite nice. Another colleague lent me hers and it had a nice ribboon on top of the box.

I think things to note for an Ang Pow Box is that it must be big enough to contain all the red packets. And it must be taken care by someone who is very responsible and realiable.

I heard of a case when a bridesmaid forgot all about the box and left. It was stolen with about S$30,000 of cash in it!

Wedding Favors:
Wedding favors are small gifts given as a gesture of appreciation or gratitude to guests from the bride and groom during a wedding ceremony or a wedding reception.

There are favors that are readily available by the hotel or those that you want to be customised. You may even want dates and both of your names to be on your wedding favors so that guests can rememember this very special day.

Again for me, I look at whether the favor is useful for the guests. Mine were a magnetic picture frame and a wine charm. Things I feel that my guests could use when they got back home.

I know some wedding favors were in the forms of cakes or pastries and many were left uncollected after the wedding dinner. Perishable food items could go to waste.

Ring Pillows:
I got this quote from wikipedia.com

“Wedding rings, continuous with no beginning and no end, symbolised eternal love to the Romans and Egyptians who used precious stones as well as silver and gold and were carried on a cushion. Hence the ring cushion (ring bearer pillow). The Page boy or Chief Bridesmaid would carry the cushion up the aisle to the Best Man who will place the rings on the cushion ready for the minister to bless.”

Mostly ring pillows come together with the rings you have purchased. Alternatively, if you don’t like their design, you can get one from an online vendor such as lovedroplets.com to suit your wedding theme.

Giving a Maid Of Honor Speech - Simple Tips You Can Use Right Now!

One of the, if not the most important duties of the maid of honor is to give the maid of honor speech. This speech is a big part of the wedding ceremony and usually happens within the first half of the wedding reception before people leave, so you will no doubt have a full crowd when giving your speech.

While the best man’s speech is equally important, he will focus more on the groom then on the bride, so it’s your job to keep the bride happy and entertain her with your speech. There are a few tips when it comes to giving a maid of honor speech that will almost guarantee it to be a big success and that’s what I’m going to show you in this article today.

The best speeches are usually the funny one’s where every one in the crowd is laughing not just the bride. Telling stories about growing up together and funny things that happened to you is a great way to get your speech going. A lot of maid of honors when giving a speech like to wing it and not write anything down on paper and just hope for the best. I think on such a big day, the least you can do is make an effort and write down a few prepared remarks.

We all know that the majority of people don’t like to speak in front of other people, we tend to get very nervous when we know we have to make a speech and having prepared notes makes life a lot easier on that front as well.

Here are some of the things you can talk about in your speech. If you and the bride grew up together, you could talk about all the silly things you did as kids. You should talk about how you and the bride met each other and how you became friends. This is quite a popular way to start a speech, by letting the audience know who you are and how you know the bride. I feel it sets the right tone for the rest of the speech. You can talk about what the bride use to tell you about the groom when they first started dating and make a funny story out of that.

Then if you want to get into a more substantial part of your speech, start talking about how great the bride and groom look together, make a spiritual comment or something meaningful from you to the bride and groom and of course you cannot forget to give them some marital advice then wish them luck on their journey.

Hopefully these tips will give you some idea on what to say when giving a maid of honor speech.

How To Plan A Wedding

Did you know the average cost of a Wedding in America is somewhere around $20,000. With this as an average figure you can then determine whether you need to hire a wedding planner or if you are going to plan your wedding yourself. It’s really important to sit down and look at your finances and get realistic as to how much you are willing to spend on your wedding and how much you can afford to spend on wedding. It is really important to come up with a figure as to how much you are willing to spend. Your money is your money so value it.

When you have a figure to work with you can then write a list of all the things you think you will need for your wedding and then work out how much you are willing to spend on each item. Don’t be like a lot of people please who go out there with no clue and end up in huge debt for the rest of their lives. I have seen many women in tears because they worked into a bridal store and got conned into buying a $10,000 wedding gown when they just couldn’t afford. I have seen people in shock as they have been handed a $15,000 bill for the catering alone. If you don’t want this to happen to you then you need to plan for your wedding.

It is a good idea to plan a budget for the bridal shower, bucks night and honeymoon as well. In all you need to be realistic as to what you want and how much you are willing to pay. There are so many ways you can save money on your wedding but make sure you have done your homework, looked around, got estimations and worked out a figure for all the items you need.

Here is a list of some of the things you may need if you plan to have a traditional wedding

Romance - Learn How To Keep The Home Fires Burning

Romance in a relationship is what keeps it on all four wheels. A relationship simply cannot grow and thrive without it. Men and women were made so differently that what comes natural to one, is a learning process for the other. It works both directions with different things. The key is learning to grow together by letting those thing bring you together rather than pull you apart. Finding out what the other person needs and putting actions behind the new-found knowledge is the beginning of wisdom within that relationship. When you center your attentions and energies on the other person, it has a wonderful way of not only putting your relationship into overdrive, but a strange way of coming back to you. And that is wonderful too! Romance is the key. Here are a few helpful tips for you both:

She Needs - Communication

A study says that the average woman uses 25,000 words a day and five tones of speech, while the average man uses only 12,000 words and three tones. “Men are talk-impaired, relatively speaking,” the study points out. This is not a back-handed slap to men. I′m one. Just the facts about the way we were created so different from women. That is why a woman can talk on the phone to her friend for hours and a man will get right to the point of the conversation and immediately terminate the call. By the time a man has gotten home from work, he has used up all of his words at the office or throughout his day away. At dinner, his mate still has 5,000 words left and they need to be heard by someone. Guess who? ;)

She needs to talk to her man. Communication is romance to her. She wants to hear about your life, men, and share her day with you. This is so important. Take time to talk.

He Needs - Respect

A man needs to be respected. By his fellow employees, by his children, by his friends and especially by his girl. Respect is part of a man’s love language. In the same way that a woman needs love, a man needs respect. That is the equivalent of love for him. He needs to know that he’s needed, he needs to be considered, that what he does matters and makes a difference. Respect is vital to a man. Tell him how much you appreciate what he does for the family. Stick little notes of gratitude in his coat for him to find. It will make a huge difference in his countenance.

The next time his voice raises over something that you may have said, ladies, chances are he feels disrespected for some reason. Ask him about it. His stature will change for the better when you care enough to ask, his love for you will grow and romance will follow.

She Needs - Her man to spend time with the children

There is nothing sexier to a woman than a man that takes time to spend with their children. I know that sounds strange, but it is absolutely true. Ask your wife. She’ll tell you. Take the kids to the park, wrestle with them, talk to them and read them a story when you tuck them into bed. Giving attention to your children is like giving attention to her. She notices and her love for you will deepen.

He Needs - A recreational partner

He loves his girl to do things with him. To go to movies, to go camping, to just sit and enjoy a television program. He needs to have you take an interest in what he is interested in.

She Needs - HELP!

A woman needs a man who takes some of the chores off of her shoulders. Do this, men, and you will find her looking you over more often. It shows a gal that you care and conveys that you love her. I′m not trying to turn us men into little house slaves. Just suggesting that taking some initiative around the home without being asked will turn her on. Try it.

Here’s an additional tip for you, guys. I won′t charge you extra either. Make her a cup of coffee or tea without being asked. Romance her with a surprise back rub. Buy her a little gift. Most women appreciate small, thoughtful gifts rather than large extravagant ones. She’ll respond to your attention in very positive ways.

You Both Need - Encouragement

Take time to give each other props. Concentrate on the other person’s strengths. Purposefully give words of encouragement. Never tear each other down, but always build each other up. Do you each have a dream? Be each other’s cheerleader and let them know you are behind them 100%.

You Both Need - Date Nights

Courting shouldn’t end after dating. In fact, it should increase. The excitement of dating each other is something that should be a part of your weekly schedule until the day you die. Take a day each week or two and go out to a meal, a movie, a play, a romantic walk. Bring her flowers. Try something new. Laugh together. Tell him he looks especially handsome tonight. Let him know that you appreciate the things he does and you’re proud of him. Positive strokes will get you both everywhere! Those special, planned date nights will keep the home fire burning.

I could go on and on about successful relationships and how to spark the romance. I’ve been married for 21-years as of 1985. I’m not exactly a newlywed. I know what works because I’ve taken the time to, first, find out and, second, to take action and implement the great stuff I learned into my marriage. Most of my learning was taught by the School of Hard Knocks. The thing is, I eventually got it and boy, am I happy that I did. My relationship with my wife is more red-hot than when we first met.

So, start with those things. Work on your relationship with one another. Take time to be together every day. Make each other a priority. Find out what makes each other tick. Learn to love and respect one another. Remember two important things: love is a verb and your mate is not your enemy. Romance is a key to each others heart. The pay-off will be a life-long love.

Tony Thomas has been happily married to his high school sweetheart for 21 years. He loves to share what makes his relationship with his wife hotter and more intimate than it was the first days they were together.

What to do When You Get Dumped

Break-ups in relationships are never easy and it’s worse when you are the one who gets dumped.

So, what’s the best way to get over someone and get back in the dating scene? Here are some tips:

I highly recommend taking a dating break. Stay away from romance and the dating scene for awhile. Give yourself time to heal your wounds and keep busy to occupy your mind instead of brooding or feeling sorry for yourself.

Focus heavily on your career and become a workaholic temporarily. When not dating heavily, you will have more time to focus on your career. This is a good way to divert your attention away from focusing on a love that didn′t last.

Go on a scavenger hunt throughout your apartment or house and remove anything that reminds you of your lost love. Throw them away, put them in storage, or hide them in the attic. This is a good way to bury the past and get on with your life.

Spend more time with your buddies and renew old friendships. During this transition time from being a couple to being single and free again is a good time to bond with friends to take your mind off of your old girlfriend.

Keep physically active - join a health club or local softball team, join a bowling league, take tennis lessons, take up jogging, etc.

In closing, please don’t jump back into the frying pan right away by looking for love on the rebound. Take a break and let your wounds heal and make a fresh start when you feel like you’re over her and ready to start to dating again.

How To Find A Genuine Online Date

This is definitely one of the most talked about and written about dating topics of today, considering the increasing threat to genuine date seekers.

You could avoid being trapped and abused by a fake online date if you use the following basics when you search for a date next time. You may think you have already read enough of it. But just read on ‘cos you might catch something new!

• Start with a good dating service - To start with, use a reputed dating service provided by a known website. Their reputation itself makes it necessary for them to be more careful when allowing online dates.

• Longer the better - Subscribe for a reasonably paid online dating service of your choice. Do not select free or cheap dating sites. Always try to pay for at least 3 months period. You have to pay only the amount you’d spend on a two or three cheap dinners! Try to find out suitable dating or matchmaking site depending on your requirement (religious, black, ethnic etc).

• Look for dating service reviews - If you are worried about your money being wasted on something of no use to you, make use of online dating services review sites where you can search and learn about dating services around the world. They provide expert guidance for you to find a dating site to suit your requirements.

One thing I must emphasis is that there are many internet dating review sites which are out of date. They have reviewed the dating services two or three years back. Always select reputed review sites that are up to date.

• Read the profiles carefully - Always look for descriptions which sound truthful. Avoid contacting too many. Limit your contacts to a few. See who is continuing for a long time. They may be the genuine ones who really want a date with you.

• Avoid superstars :) - Avoid personals which sound too good to be true with photographs of handsome dudes/lovely chicks! Specially avoid overseas personals of similar kind who are all too interested in you.

• Avoid Scams - Carefully see whether you receive any pleads for financial help. If yes, first thing you should do is to avoid them at all costs. (avoid sending money for visas, air tickets etc) This is a popular scamming technique. Don’t fall in to that trap.

• Don’t give any numbers - If you are considering a more personal relationship with the online date of your interest, get his/her contact number. If they are reluctant to give a number, be careful. If they gave you a number, try ringing it then and there without telling him/her and see who is picking the line, always use a public phone and don’t use your mobile phone by any means.

• Things about personal details - If you are confident that you have carried on long enough to confide in each other see whether he/she is willing to give out personal details. If he/she is totally unwilling to give out any information, it is better to back off.

• Be honest - Finally, be honest yourself. If you are not being truthful, you cannot expect another to be honest with you. However, always be careful of what you should reveal to a person you have not yet met personally.
