Before You Propose, Here Are Some Things You Should Do
Table of Contents
We have a lot of social pressure to get married. Often, we wonder, “What is the point of getting married?” The institution of marriage has existed in our society for as long as our society has lived. Children born outside of wedlock are granted legal status and rights through the legal system because of the institution of marriage. For the mothers of these children, it is almost impossible to provide them with a stable environment.
Most people get married because they are deeply in love with their partner and believe they would be unable to survive without each other. They have a strong emotional connection that they believe should be documented through a legal ceremony. In any case, getting married is not a decision to be taken easily.
Before you propose, though, here are some things you should do
Make Sure that you and your partner are on the Same Page
The unexpected proposal is great, but marriage should not come as a shock. Bringing up the engagement of a friend can get you started. Get to know your partner’s views on marriage. Learn about your partner’s aspirations for the future by asking them about their plans. A successful proposal and long, happy marriage can be yours if you and your partner have the same goals.
Consult with the Parents
Isn’t this a little out of date? Yes, it is. However, you should go ahead and do it. With a good relationship with the parents of your future spouse, this should be an easy task. Make a point of telling them how much you love their child. If you are planning to propose, tell them about it, and then ask them to be a part of it.
Purchase the Engagement Ring
It is easy to get started by paying closer attention to the piece of jewelry she already owns. A skilled jeweler will be able to identify the style she prefers. Look up some of her ideas on Instagram or Pinterest and see what you can come up with. When all else fails, ask a close friend of hers for information. In the meantime, take a look at designer engagement rings online.
It is Time to Get Intimate with the Proposal
Consider the personality traits of your date. Do it on the kiss cam at a football game if he or she enjoys being the center of attention. Save it for another day, though, if she would find it embarrassing. You could ask the question in a 5-star hotel. In any case, the greater the impact, the more personal the approach.

Make Some Notes
Keep calm and carry on. Bear in mind, however, that this is not the right time to forget your lines. To avoid flanking it, you should think about what you are trying to say before you get going. Remember to include the question “will you marry me?” in your proposal. That is a crucial part.
Look for the right moment to pop the question.


Natural Health News — A new study shows that women play a key role in influencing how men manage their depression.
The research, published in the journal Social Science & Medicine, details how heterosexual couples’ gender roles can undergo radical shifts and strain when the male partner is depressed and the female partner seeks to help.
University of British Columbia researchers identified three major coping strategies that emerge among couples dealing with male depression: “trading places,” “business as usual” and “edgy tensions.”
The researchers found that “trading places” is the most common strategy. In these relationships, the partners took on atypical masculine and feminine roles to cope with challenges caused by the men’s depression. For instance, men assumed the role of homemaker while the women became the family breadwinner.
In doing this women partners found themselves breaking with feminine ideals in how they provided partner support by employing tough love strategies for self-protection and a means of prompting the men’s self-management of their depression.
The second most common strategy is “business as usual,” where couples sought to downplay or mask any problems caused by the men’s depression. Women in these partnerships held firm to idealized heterosexual gender roles, and continued to be supporter and nurturer to their partners.
Despite their ongoing struggles with depression, the men continued to work hard to maintain their careers in typically masculine arenas, which in the study included engineering, science, law enforcement, forestry and coaching.
The third pattern, “edgy tensions,” describes men and women caught in dysfunctional relationships. Each holding ideas of gender roles that differed from those of their partner, these couples grappled with resentment.
The men in these partnerships resisted medical treatment and instead used alcohol and illicit drugs, at least in part, to self-manage their depression. The women expressed ambivalence about conforming to the feminine ideal of being a “selfless nurturer,” especially for men who were volatile and unpredictable. The men in turn espoused a view of themselves as head of the household.
Depression, a disorder often thought of as a women’s health issue, is underreported in men, and little is known about how heterosexual couples respond when the male partner is depressed. The researchers note that these coping strategies re note necessarily long-term solutions. Limits to women’s resilience and care-giving in each situation were evident, but the findings also reveal important connections between how men manage their depression and the gender dynamics within their relationship.
This was a small study involving 26 couples but suggests that in order to provide effective treatment and interventions, we may need to understand much more about couple dynamics and their influence on how health decisions within families are made

A horse's unconditional love looks past all of our shortcomings. Horses do not see abuse, divorce, loss, low self esteem, ugly, or beautiful. They feel a person's heart. Horses don't judge and will love you no matter who you are or where you come from. All they ask for in return is love and kindness.....but a carrot or a treat doesn't hurt either!

Every religion has their own customs and rituals to be followed during a marriage and it differs from one another. Muslim is a religion with many unique customs and rituals to be followed at each and every phase of life. According to Muslim religion, marriage can be considered as a legal and social relationship that is meant for strengthening as well as extending the family relationship. The Islamic marriage starts with the search for appropriate match and ends by making the agreement related with marriage and party connected to it. There are various rituals associated with the Muslim marriage which happens in a sequential order.
Seeking for a Match
The first thing to do is to find a match for the girl or boy. The Muslims usually make use of the contacts they have for finding a perfect match for their boy or girl. Decision Making The next thing that they do is to make the decision for marriage. The choice of the spouse for getting married is done by seeking guidance from their ultimate truth allah by offering prayer to him. The prayer to allah made for getting guidance regarding the marriage is called Salat – I – Ishtikhara. Once the wedding is fixed there are many rituals which happen before the actual wedding and there are ones that need to be done after the marriage. The wedding rituals of a Muslim marriage usually get extended up to three days. The marriage is an occasion for all the near ones to enjoy and can be held at any place as of the choice and convenience of the two parties. The marriages that are held in the Muslim community are not extravagant but are reflections of affection and love.
Pre Marital Rituals
There are many rituals which needs to be carried out before the wedding and each of these rituals are having much significance. Mangni is the engagement ceremony that marks the beginning of the Muslim wedding rituals and it is the occasion when the bride and groom exchanges rings. Mehendi is another auspicious ceremony that is held at the house of the bride a couple of days before the marriage. During this occasion, the bride is made to apply turmeric over her face and mehendi over her hands. It can be considered as an occasion for making the bride get ready for the marriage. Mahr is the ritual which involves the welcoming of the bride grooms party at the place where marriage is held.
Nikaah is the marriage ceremony in the Muslim religion, where the priests leads the ceremony in the presence of the close relatives from both the sides. Nikaah completes with the proposal and acceptance. The groom proposes the bride and she should convey her wish. Mahr is the amount of nuptial gift that is given to the bride’s family from the side of grrom. After the ceremony there is lavish dinner and then bride and groom are made to sit together with kuran between them and they will be made to see each other through mirror. Post Wedding Ceremony The occasion when the bride is bid farewell by her family and made to go to groom’s home is called rukshat. Chauthi is another ceremony that is held on the fourth day after marriage when the bride visits her home with groom.


We all have them and at times we have more than one person in each category.
This friend that you have grown up with. The friend that knows everything–or at least most–about you. They were there with you when important life events occurred.
This friend is your reflection–well sorta. This friend is so similar to you that it can become annoying. You basically have the same everything… and I mean everything.
The Soul Sister
This friend is someone who you do not have to give explanations to when stating an opinion on a topic. You hold similar values on life. This friend feels like you have known the longest.
As for my friends, if you read this, I hope you know that I value our friendships greatly. Also, there are also some aspects from each category that can apply to all. Now, this is simply my opinion. I created these categories based off of my own experience.


You’ve heard this one, right?
Many people, before and during, relationships say that cheating is a deal-breaker that there’s no coming back from. If their partner goes behind their back and has sex or an emotional connection with another person, they’ve drawn a line in the sand that cannot be erased. And yet, it happens, rumors might be spread and before you know it, the couple reconciles due to their love for each other. The partner who cheated admits that they love their partner enough that they didn’t actually want to leave and the one who was cheated on will see that the indiscretion wasn’t a clear path to the end of their relationship. The truth came out, it was handled, and the couple remains intact.
So since I know you’ve heard of, or experienced this before, you understand that having sex with another person doesn’t automatically mean that a relationship has to end and that to do so does not mean that the love between partners cannot still exist as a result. It happens so often, especially in matters of paternity, that it becomes the basis for TV series, movies, and a major topic of conversation in therapist offices. And if you know forgiveness is possible and the bond is closer than another body coming in between a couple, then you should be able to understand ethical non-monogamy without a problem, right?
Polyamory, swinging, open-marriages, and all other dynamics are all under the umbrella of ethical non-monogamy. The concept of your partner(s) and yourself allowing more than just two people to encompass a relationship. There are different variations under this umbrella and everyone brings their own rules to the table like any relationship. Just like in some current monogamous partnerships one person may not like their partner to watch porn while in an ethically non-monogamous partnership an agreement may be reached where all contact with their ‘others’ stops at their bedroom and all activities take place outside of it.
The standard monogamous relationship model is already different from couple to couple and those in relationships marked ‘other’ are no different. For example, restaurants and the menus inside them exist for a reason. Not everyone wants to eat at the same place. Some want burgers, some want Asian food, while others want vegan options. And even when a place can be agreed on, the menu is there because the food that someone else orders isn’t exactly what you want, down to the preparation, sauces, and even drinks. Relationships are infinitely more complex than eating dinner and we as people change over time, especially dealing with one person. Just like with food, eventually, you’ll say that you want to eat a different meal because you’ve had the same thing so many times. You still like it, but it’s nice to have variety. Well…
I’ve never understood people (mostly straight men) who get mad at the fact that their woman partner still gets attention after they get together. The same reason that woman attracted you is still evident and attractive to other people. Attraction doesn’t go away just because someone is taken just like laws don’t automatically mean that people stop committing crimes when they’re committed to paper. People don’t just get uglier when they’re in relationships and they also don't stop feeling the need to be wanted. Conversely, they don’t stop wanting to want other people. The song “Next Lifetime” by Erykah Badu (amongst millions of others) is based on still feeling attracted to another person while in a relationship but not crossing that boundary due to a rigid set of traditions that were created before any person alive was born. We’re told that we can only have one love, we find that one love and never leave them. But that isn’t the case, is it? People divorce, people die and remarry, people have kids with more than one person, people cheat, and people make up. Marriage is a flawed concept in and of itself but to expect to eat the same food over and over and never want to try another restaurant for the rest of your life seems ludicrous. An ethically non-monogamous relationship changes that dynamic and is tailor-made for those in it. Here’s a link to some different varieties of the concept. Happiness comes in different forms so who are we to say that the thing that made us happy 5 years ago is the same that will make us happy the same way in 20 years? Do you know anyone who’s still the same 20 years later? Are you still the same person you were 20 years ago? Do you want the same things?
And with that, I want to bring up the other aspect within the dynamic: trust and privacy.
For as long as there have been marriages, there have been extramarital affairs. How prominent these affairs are is a different story but it all comes down to who these people are and what they agree on in their private lives and what they like to do to keep themselves happy isn’t really of the concern of anyone not inside the dynamic (so long as everyone is a consenting adult.) In a very prominent version of this floating in the news, one person decided to out the dynamics of a relationship that they were a part of without the consent of the other parties involved. The others involved then decided to unite in their truth about what had transpired and now...they’re remaining together as is their dynamic. And while people can form opinions about what they observed, really, NONE of it should have been known to the public.
Unless people are coming out to explicitly express their proclivities out in the world, no one is owed the privacy of another person's sex life. Period. Gay marriage was such a big deal because laws were put into place dictating that people were not allowed to be intimate with another consenting adult of the same gender in the privacy of their own bedroom. Eventually, it was stated that this was wrong on all counts and those laws were rescinded. LGBTQIA+ people have always existed but we were not always privy to their actions in their lives...as we SHOULDN’T be. Our day to day lives aren’t affected by two people sleeping together that we don’t know who aren’t harming each other and aren’t being harmed. Same-sex couples exist in ways that are of no concern to others who aren’t them.
So why on earth don’t we extend that same courtesy to ethically non-monogamous couples?
The word ‘ethical’ is in place to declare that the primary parties involved are aware of the actions taking place. Some are open in that they sleep with other people separately. Some are polyamorous in that they have many partners in different ways. Some swing and do it together. Then there are triads, quads, and all of them are none of the business of anyone that those people don’t want to know.
I’m sure people have heard of the word ‘cuck’ used pejoratively. It’s the abbreviated version of ‘cuckold’ which is generally the husband of a woman who sleeps around. And while a porn genre was created around this, people use this term, and others to speak negatively about men who are possibly in an ethically non-monogamous relationship and are okay with the terms of it. Most people don’t talk out loud about what they like in the bedroom because it doesn’t concern those not involved, especially in ways that might bring on ridicule and speculation. Our private lives are allowed to be private. One person is allowed to say cheating is a line while others don’t call it cheating at all and have different lines regarding trust and honesty with sex, only needing to be consensual and, yes, ethical.
In other words; stop looking at someone else’s table to dictate how they eat and focus on your own. And unless you’re interested in eating something similar, let them enjoy their meal. What they eat doesn’t make you shit.


The living arrangements of parents at the time a baby is conceived may play a role in determining its sex, research suggests. A US study found parents who were married or living together before conception were slightly more likely to have a boy than those who were not. The study, by the US National Bureau of Economic Research, is based on data from 86,436 births. Details are published in Proceedings of The Royal Society.
Overall, the study found that 51.5% of babies born to couples living together at the time of conception were boys, compared to 49.9% among parents who were not.


Whether we communicate with a partner in a video chat or face-to-face, we rely on the same basic interpersonal communication skills. We use our verbal language, voice intonation, body language, and facial expression to convey our thoughts, meaning, and motive. The goal for each partner is to be understood. The Video Chat Etiquette graphic below was designed to prepare students for an online interview, but it serves as a reminder of how we communicate with on-screen partners to have a meaningful and enjoyable conversation.
Very useful graphic Mr. Tomizawa. Thank you!

“You can trust me hon! I won't cheat you” said Arnav. He was very sweet and Shruthi can't help but fall for his every word. Arnav was her Facebook friend. It hadn't been long since they started chatting and he was already claiming that he loved her. “Just one look at you and I couldn't stop myself. You are so beautiful! I love you!” he had said. Shruthi had denied it, she didn't believe a single word he said but he was good at persuasion! So here was Shruthi falling for him, even when her gut instincts screamed at her that this couldn't be true! She had always longed for someone who cared and when Arnav was proving to be that person, how could her heart not accept him? She was in Qualm!
“What’s the matter Shruthi?” asked Monica the next day seeing her confused and low. Shruthi couldn't bear the qualm anymore and she blurted out the whole story to her friend. “I don't know what to do Monica. He seems sweet and genuine but my instincts tell me that it's fake!” said she as she cupped her hands and hid her face. “Don't worry dear, we will soon find out! Till then just hang on. Don’t jump to conclusions” Shruthi continued to chat with Arnav and everyday it was becoming difficult not to fall for him. Such a sweet heart he was. She could no longer deny his love!
“I think he is good Monica. He cares for me a lot! I don't think he is faking it” said Shruthi when she met her friend next day. Monica was very calm as she spoke “I sent him request the day you mentioned about him and I have been chatting with him ever since. You won’t believe anything I say, so I want you to have a look at it yourself” she said as she handed over her phone. Shruthi sensed that something big was about to happen as she took it and started to read. There were same messages of love in the chat that he had sent to her. He had promised Monica that he loved only her and it was true! All those cheesy things he had sent her were here too. “I didn't want to chat with him like this but this was the only way for me to find out if he was honest! And you know the result! It is right in front of you!” said Monica as she saw her friend’s face contort in pain.
Shruthi cried for a while but she was sadder that she had been stupid enough to believe in some random stranger.”It’s not your fault dear. People like Arnav are all over the social sites, trying to fool innocent people. It has happened with most of us. But isn't it good that you realized it before it was too late? From now on lets be careful before trusting some random stranger we met and falling in their traps!” said Monica as she gently caressed Shruthi's head for she knew her friend would be fine.
Until the next post,
Keep Smiling :)


1 Peter 4:8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
Amazing. For a solid three chapters prior to this verse, Peter is discussing how we should live. Submitting ourselves to authority, abstaining from sinful behavior, husband/wife relationships, not to gossip…on and on. He talks about us being set apart – living lives that demonstrate that we are different from the rest of the world. And then there is this verse. Nestled in chapter 4 – so easy to miss. “Above all” – above all the other stuff. Love. That is so profound. It seems easy, but it is by far the most difficult task of all the instruction given in the four chapters I read today.
For love covers a multitude of sins. Meaning – people are going to sin. Against you. Love them still. You will be disappointed in others behavior. Love them still. The implication here is that you won’t want to love them. If love is covering a multitude of sins, you are probably dealing with the ramifications of that stuff. I can say from my own personal experiences that the choice to love someone you don’t even like is really really hard. It seems impossible actually.
So, why love? What difference can that possibly make? Why does that cover pain, hurt, rejection, anger, resentment and all the rest that result from sin? Because, when I consciously decide to love, I put myself in the other’s shoes. I try to see it from their angle instead of my own. Love isn’t sending flowers, a card or buying something sparkly (although, if my husband is reading this, those things do make me feel very loved). No, this word for love is agape – which I’m sure many of you have heard before. In his book “The Four Loves”, C.S. Lewis refered to this kind of love as selfless love, a love that is passionately committed to the well-being of the other. I think that pretty much sums it up. Caring about the well-being of the other person, regardless of what they’ve done to you is true love. Trying to see it from where they are sitting, being concerned with their view of the situation helps to switch my mindset and choose love.
Knowing about this kind of love is one thing. Demonstrating it to a difficult person is an entirely different matter. It is not something I can do in my own power. However, I know (because the Bible tells me so) that God wants me to love others in this manner. Above all else. More than all the exhortations in the first few chapters of 1 Peter – to love others is the biggest, most important idea. I wish this verse said “tolerate others” or “just try to get along”. I think I could probably do that. But the requirement to agape love just seems like too much to ask of me right now. I want to pout and say “but she was mean to me…I don’t want to”. God doesn’t give me that option. Showing His love to those I struggle with enables me to see past the pettiness of actions, and truly care about the heart of the matter. God loves them. I choose to love as well. I’m asking God to show me how…and I know He’s faithful and will do just that.

My name is Derek Victor, the writer and illustrator for https://partner-and-ally.com. My pronouns are he/him. I’m a queer, Irish, cisgender man and I'm married to a wonderful transwoman named Veronica. I’m a wheelchair user. I have a mild hearing impairment. I’m neurodivergent. I try to live as a feminist, an ally to transpeople, and an ally to people of color.
With my blog, illustrations and webcomic (https://partner-and-ally.com), I want to share my experiences of being a partner to a trans person as they go through their personal, social and medical transition. I’m hoping it can serve as a resource or additional perspective for other people who are partners, family members and allies to transpeople.
I will also share some of my partner’s experiences of being a partner to a person with disabilities, both to give context to my approach to her transition and to perhaps serve as additional perspective to others whose partners, family members and friends have disabilities.
I'd like to build the site into a resource but I'm limited by my work as to how much time I can spend on it. I'm looking for support to help me build it sooner and better.

To Be .....LOVE
With Mandakini Goswami and Dilip Shankar
Love causing life or life causing love – maybe both.
A lovely relationship comes into being when a child is conceived, that is, if it is conceived with love.
A relationship nevertheless. The most crucial time of life, if you ask us. The most impressionable, vulnerable, and yet dynamic relationship of all.
What does a child think of when a to-be mother talks to it? Is it amused? Angry? Irritated? Or excited?
The most enriching dialogues can be had with your child if you are a mother to be. You know why? This is probably the only time in your child’s life when you get such complete, 100% attention. Doesn’t it make sense to make the most of it, and talk to your heart’s content with your child to be?


He wrote about women:
* She should stay at home and get on with her spinning
* She can go out only in emergencies.
* If a friend of her husband calls when her husband is absent she must not open the door nor reply to him in order to safeguard her “al bud”.
* She should accept what her husband gives her as sufficient sexual needs at any moment.
* She should be clean and ready to satisfy her husband’s sexual needs at any moment.


I am more convinced each day that the passion of Christ, the joy set before him that allowed him to endure the cross, was the relationship He had known as a part of the Trinity before creation. It wasn't his regimen of prayer as a man alone, that strengthened him, but rather the experience of renewed intimacy with Abba each time He prayed...prayer is a tool, not of religious obedience, but the foreplay of intimacy with God. Think about true intimacy as modeled by both bride and groom in marital bliss.
Anything less is religious zeal, a monotonous attempt at pleasing an unknown god and falls short of the means necessary to labor through one's Kingdom call.
Lord, teach us to pray!


This weeks 3ww being
Of all the languages love is the most cryptic of all,coz I too am never able to understand my own heart.
I say so because I have fallen in love a number of times.
I too have felt betrayed a thousand times.
When,I fell,I felt lost,stabbed,kicked.
And thought would never love again,even when SHE left me.
Felt that although she doesn't love me but I still do.
And even thinking about anyone else wud be an offense.
Felt that wud never love any1 else,wud never malign my heart...
Thought and thought...And then there was one flash...
And she was there.
She showed me care,like no one ever did.
She admired me,she caressed me,she stood by me,she believed in me.
She made me believe in myself.
She made me feel loved.
And then I loved,loved like I never had before.
Now,I know a fall in the way doesn't mean the end of the road.
A fail in a day doesnt mean the end of the life.
What all I know is that I will be true,true to my soul,till I can be.
Rest is in her hands.Rest as they say is in her hands.
So,just keep loving and keep living.
The one who would love you would always be good than the one who left you.
Thats life and that's love.

The date, July 2, 2011 was our anniversary, and we were most happy to have two of our children and their loved ones celebrate with us at Redfish, here in Port Orford, Oregon.
If you had asked me on this date what we were most proud of, we would have told you, without hesitation, that we were most proud of the people our children chose to associate with, and the people they chose to spend their future with.

Having a grown child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can take a heavy toll on any parent. While the popular media often highlights the perspectives of mothers in the autism community, we often neglect the voices of fathers. While conventional gender stereotypes teach us that men are supposed to refrain from expressing their emotions, research tells us that masking one’s true feelings can actually negatively impact emotional prosperity. First, we’ll discuss the unique challenges that our fathers in the autism community are facing. Later, we’ll show you techniques that may help you and your loved ones cope.
Stress, Depression, and Pessimism About the Future
A 2012 study conducted by researchers Dr. Sigan Hartley and Dr. Marsha Seltzer, sampled 91 fathers of adolescents and young adults with Downs Syndrome (DS), Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), and ASD (Source). They found that fathers of children with ASD have a poorer psychological well being than fathers of children with DS and FXS, along with more than 30% of those fathers having experienced depressive symptoms severe enough to warrant clinical attention. This percentage is significantly higher than that of fathers of children with DS or FXS. Pessimism about the future along with the daily stresses of parenting a grown child with autism contribute to these numbers.
In addition, fathers who work heavy hours report the highest levels of parenting stress. Parenting stress can not only affect the psychological well being of an
individual, but it can also affect the marital relationship between spouses. In another study (Source) conducted by Dr. Hartley, the marital fates of 391 couples with autistic adolescent and adult children were investigated. These couples are more likely to divorce than couples who have children with no developmental issues. This is important to note because when enduring parenting stressors, spouses often turn to each other for emotional support. Moreover, dissatisfaction in a marriage can often lead to more of a distance between father and child. Therefore, a strong marital relationship is necessary to minimize the impact of any child-related stressors.
A father’s attitude towards his child’s behavior is essential in improving the parent-child bond. In the following interview with Dr. Sigan Hartley, we learn about her research on fathers and their relationships with their grown children with autism. You may find some of her insights surprising.
MHAF: Depression and pessimism may take a toll on the father-child relationship. What are some ways that fathers can improve their relationship with their adult child with autism?
HARTLEY: Fathers who are able to identify positive behaviors that their child engages in and who give their child credit for those behaviors report feeling closer to their child with autism. These parents are then likely to act in ways that encourage those positive behaviors to occur again. Thus, parents should be encouraged to focus on their child’s strengths and positive behaviors and the ways that their child promotes these behaviors and strengths.
At times, it is easy to only focus on the problematic behaviors and the grown child’s impairments. Helping parents get out of this cycle and focus on positive behaviors and the child’s active role in promoting these behaviors is critical.
The fact that fathers of grown autistic children can be exposed to such emotional trauma is a hard reality to face, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. According to Dr. Hartley, interventions using a family systems approach are the most beneficial. These interventions bring family members together and interconnect all of their individual experiences. A father will realize that his psychological well being is linked to his wife’s psychological well being, and communication amongst family members is essential in coping and managing stress. Please watch the following video that depicts the unconditional relationship between a father and his son and sheds a light on the hardships parents might face.
MHAF: What are some recommendations that you would give to fathers coping with their adult child’s autism? Are there any coping strategies that you would suggest?
HARTLEY: Parents often rely on supports from professionals. There is an important need to make sure that these supports are family-centered in that professionals establish relationships with parents based on mutual respect and open communication, match the needs and priorities of the family, and provide parents with choices and control over treatment. In general, we have found lots of overlap in the support needs of mothers and fathers of children and adolescents with autism. Both rated family-wide impacts (support for marriage and siblings), developing partnerships with professionals, gaining education about their child’s disability, having appropriate educational plans, and support for self-care as being most important. [Furthermore], supports around helping fathers avoid work-family stress spillover and building time for relaxing may be very important. Some examples of emotion management strategies include exercising, healthy diet, sleep routines, mediation, yoga, counseling, writing down feelings, and relaxation training. [When it comes to improving the marital relationship], it is important to engage in positive couple interactions on stressful parenting days, when emotional resources are low.
Support groups that are specifically geared towards fathers who have grown children with autism do exist and are readily accessible depending on one’s location. Here is a list of support services offered in each state. According to Dr. Hartley, these groups are powerful resources that can offer emotional support for people dealing with similar experiences.
MHAF: Do you think that father support groups can improve the emotional prosperity of fathers? If so, how?
HARTLEY: There are a growing number of support groups focused on fathers. These can be very effective ways to help fathers feel like they have a community of support. Such groups can be an important source of sharing tips and strategies and an avenue for gaining support for challenges. We are seeing father support groups pop up around the country. Also, more and more fathers are attending parent support groups with their partners.
There isn’t a lot of research involving adults with autism and their fathers. Most of the research is focused on the mothers. This is a major source of concern within the community when seeking the best ways to support these parents. We commend the efforts of Dr. Hartley for focusing her work on issues regarding fathers with autism, and we thank her for sharing her insights. We hope her work inspires others to follow suit.

I was talking with a woman and she wondered out loud if she would ever get married.
I asked her what seemed to be a natural question back. Did she want to get married?
She paused for a moment and responded with – “I don’t know.”
I paused for a moment and then responded. “If you want to get married you probably will. If you don’t want you probably won’t. It is your choice.”
She looked at me with a slightly amazed look in her eyes as she said “Ummm, sure…..”
It became very clear to me that she didn’t really consider her future marital status within her control.
How much is within our control but because we are unable/unwilling to make a decision, it gets left up to chance or becomes someone else’s decision?

Domestic abuse is very common and can ruin lives. The police estimate that they get a call every minute from someone who is a victim of domestic abuse.
The term refers to threats, violence or abuse between people who have a relationship with each other, have had in the past or are family members.
Some organisations use the word 'abuse' instead of 'violence', but we think these terms are interchangeable.
Domestic abuse can take different forms.
- Physical abuse: Pushing, hitting, punching, kicking, choking and using weapons.
- Sexual abuse: Forcing or pressuring someone to have sex (rape), unwanted sexual activity, touching, groping someone or making them watch pornography.
- Financial abuse: Taking money, controlling finances, not letting someone work.
- Emotional/psychological abuse: Making someone feel bad or scared, stalking, blackmailing, constantly checking up on someone, playing mind games.

Aries and earth signs can be a complicated mixture, with each side stifling the other.
As in life, however, romance is never as simple as what sign you are, and star sign compatibility is just a guide. Ultimately, any Aries compatibility issues can be resolved if you are truly in love. What draws others to you as an Aries is your adventurous spirit, the fire in your belly, your passion and your ability to live your life to the full. What turns them off is your temper, your selfishness and that slight edge of reckless abandon which can be at once exhilarating and panic-inducing in your partners.
Not necessarily the most faithful of signs, you tend to make hasty decisions in love, which you regret at leisure. Whoever manages to calm your emotional inferno, however, will find you to be a fascinating partner, with lots of ideas for growing the relationship.

After receiving dozens of questions from young men, I’ve realized that most guys are making the same mistakes in the bedroom. If you don’t understand these mistakes, If you leave them unchecked? It’ll make every relationship you're in a ticking time bomb and your woman will eventually leave you for another man. So I've put together a free 32-page guide to teach you exactly what these mistakes are and more importantly how to overcome them.
Imagine a charming, good looking man brings a girl home.
She's thinking "Yes finally I've found a real man!" and she's ready for a night of wild passionate sex.
He takes her to the bedroom and just lays on his back like a starfish waiting for her to tell him what to do.
Sounds ludicrous right?
Well that's what it feels like to women when you don't lead in the bedroom.
Most guys have probably had a woman do that to them at some point, but the reality is that men can't afford to be passive in the bed.
I get told all the time by the women I work with; "Mean Stirling is Hot Stirling".
Now, I'm actually a very polite and respectful guy in most circumstances.
But I know to turn that off when it doesn't serve me.
And I know to turn on 'Mean Stirling' when I want her panties wet.
The problem is most guys are in nice guy mode too much.
And this is leaving a terrible impression in the bedroom.
She doesn't want to be treated like a princess.
She doesn't want to be treated like a delicate flower.
She wants you to ravage her like an untamed beast.
Maybe you're nervous. Maybe you're uncomfortable. Maybe you're not confident.
But you have no choice. You've gotta step up, fix that and take charge.

The aim of the study is to answer the following research questions: 1) Is there a relationship between knee joint stability and structural joint damage in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee? 2) Is there a relationship between the stability of the knee joint and the level of functional disability in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee?
In this cross-sectional study, 86 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee were investigated. Measurements were made to establish the laxity (passive stability) of the knee joint. Laxity was expressed as the range of motion of the tibiofemoral joint in the frontal plane, when applying a medial or lateral load of 8Nm. Additionally, the degree of structural damage (joint space narrowing and osteophyte formation) in the knee joints using radiographs was assessed. Using the WOMAc questionnaire and a 5x10m walking test, data were collected on the level of physical functioning of patients. Isokinetic muscle strength for flexion and extension of the knee were measured at 60°/s using an EN-Knee chair.
Laxity of the knee joint was found to be related to the degree of structural damage in the knee (research question #1). Knees with a high level of joint space narrowing were on average more lax than knees with less joint space narrowing. However, no relationship was found between laxity and presence of osteophytes. A weak direct relationship was found between knee joint laxity and walking speed (research question #2). Patients with highly lax joints tended to walk slower than patients with less lax joints. The correlation was statistically significant but low. No significant correlation was found between the WOMAC scores and knee joint laxity. However, it was found that the relationship between muscle strength and physical functioning (which is normally quite strong) was absent in patients with highly lax knees.


– by Sri Shakti, freshman –
A mother’s love is one of the most important things in a child’s life. Some earliest memories are often of a mother’s kisses or the sound of her soft voice.
It goes without saying, that the K4 students were elated to show their mothers how much they appreciate them at their Mother’s Day Brunch on Friday, May 10.
The K4 sang a song and their teachers made a video about why they love their mommies. Some of the children said that they loved their mommies because they make them yummy food or because they cuddle with them.
“I think the moms really enjoyed having the time to spend with their children,” said Mrs. Vasquez, preschool supervisor.
Even though most of the K4 students have only been around for four years, they already understand that their mothers love them more than anything and are raising them to be the little children that God would have them to be.

Doojoon:Yoseob has never had a girlfriend. Whenever we talk about girls, he has a mental block and always asks questions. And so we all fight over him. He's cute, and he acts like the maknae of the group. So we decided that since we don't have girlfriends, Yoseob will be our girlfriend.
MC:What kind of things do you all do with Yoseob?
Kikwang:Yoseob and I often take baths together. Whenever we watch movies, he always lies on my shoulder, and I give him my coat. Hyunseung and Yoseob have their time together in vocalization and their taste in clothing. Junhyung helps Yoseob wash the clothes and dishes, and they tease each other while doing it. You can see Doojoon and Yoseob's chemistry onstage as they always tease each other, and Dongwoon likes to hug Yoseob a lot.
Doojoon:It's not that we treat Yoseob like a girl. We take care of him as a little brother. The girlfriend thing is a joke. Someday we will help him find a girl to take care of him.

I remember when I thought people in their 20’s were adults. Now all of my friends are in their 20’s and everybody is just kind of fumbling around bumping into each other, trying to figure out where the free food is
Excellent gif use
Yeah guess what - the 30s are the same but now we’ve all got kids.
Ain’t that the gospel truth.
i actually like asshole couples best like the couples that pick on each other so much and call each other names but it’s okay because you know they’re actually totally in love and none of it is meant in a mean way and every insult is punctuated by a sweet comment to remind the other how much they actually adore them and i’m sorry but there isn’t anything cuter ok
But you SHOULD read Anais Nin. I thought you might be curious. ;-)
Darn you, Juno. Darn you. Because, of course, I AM.
I’ve actually never read Anais Nin - the rest is spot on, LOL.


It’s today’s prompt: https://bloganuary.wordpress.com/2023/01/24/how-do-you-show-love/
I show love in ways big and small, private and public, and I tailor my approach as I get to know the person (or being, or thing — I love a lot!) better. Much like how my instructional design gets tailored to the learners with each iteration.
My default is food— making a treat for someone, enjoying a meal together, sharing a favorite candy or tea that feels personal and bonding over that.
This wasn’t always the way— for a long time, I avoided food. Or I’d work so hard to make it for others, without partaking myself.
I show love better and more and it feels like a bottomless supply when I…
…try to show myself some love.
I’ll leave it there. However you show love, remember to include yourself. You matter, and you can show up for others — the people, beings, things you love — by loving yourself just a little more.

I love this post! Great message my friend!
Thanks, Jon 🙂


To Helen Croydon, the idea of marriage and kids has just never appealed. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t want to fall in love. Meaningless, casual sex is of no interest yet the shackles of commitment is terrifying and, quite frankly, boring. So Helen sets out to explore alternative models of relationships to the conventional, committed, monogamous, 24-7, happily-ever-after fairytale.
Through immersive reportage, startling new research and tales from her own colourful love life, Helen argues that the de facto cohabiting marriage in a detached house with 2.4 children is no longer appropriate nor desirable in our modern, fast-paced world of opportunity. She finds mounting evidence that more people, like her, are saying ‘stuff the fairytale!’ and finding alternative relationship lifestyles.
Highlights of her mission takes in a polyamorous commune in the Scottish Highlands (where she has to carry out a sexual pact), a wife-finding tour to Ukraine with European men looking for Russian brides, infiltrating a network of single professional women who’ve chosen to give up on finding love and get a sperm donor and interviews with psychologists, evolutionists, asexuals, swingers, philanderers, long-term marrieds, mistresses and 40-year-old virgins.
Helen traces the history of relationships, showing how marriage was never supposed to be about love anyway. She investigates the prevalence of mistresses across different eras and cultures to see what we can learn from infidelity and she explores the science of falling in love, discovering that it has the same affect on the brain as crack addiction!
Helen Croydon is an author, journalist and broadcaster. Her books include the dating memoir Sugar Daddy Diaries: When a Fantasy Became an Obsession and Screw the Fairytale: A Modern Guide to Sex and Love, which is a witty polemic asking whether full-time, committed relationships are still relevant. As a journalist Helen has written for most national papers and various magazines, covering social trends, modern relationships, consumer investigations, health and fitness. She is a lively commentator regularly appearing on TV and radio for paper reviews or topical debate...

I think this book is a pretty good start to the new Harlequin Dare line. The story is a bit edgier, a little more explicit, but still a very tasteful romance. The story, the dialogue and the setting are realistic and contemporary. I love that Lucy, is a high powered attorney that always wins. She wants a promotion, but since she works for old fashioned men, she feels like she might need to get married to secure the promotion. I don’t think this was meant in a disrespectful way, but it is still the reality for women in the workplace. Lucy is pretty much ready for an arranged marriage. She can’t trust herself to find the right guy. She tried and she is still recovering from the heartache and betrayal from her ex-fiance. She asks for some help from Gideon Novak, who was her ex-fiance’s friend (but her friend as well), because he is a successful headhunter who knows a lot of people. The reader will quickly see that Lucy and Gideon have a thing for each other and have for a very long time. Gideon can’t believe that Lucy is asking him to find her a husband, but he agrees because he feels partly responsible for what his cheating friend did to her. Lucy also asks Gideon for some sex lessons because she has been made to feel like she is totally inadequate in the bedroom based on what her ex used to tell her. Gideon is reluctant to agree to this outrageous request, but not because he doesn’t want Lucy, but because he doesn’t want to lose her friendship again *swoon*.
Hot sex ensues and you can tell that both characters are getting their feelings for each other all mixed up. Gideon finds it almost impossible to try to find a husband for the woman he loves, but doesn’t totally realize that he loves...you can see where this is going… It takes some meddling from others to get things on the right path for Lucy and Gideon. Fortunately, the reader gets to enjoy some scorching sex, witty dialogue and just an all out enjoyable story that will have you cheering at the end. Pick this book up if you are ready for a happy ending!


Apa nak kata u all kalau dah rindu kekasih hati??auwww....
I am waiting and hoping and wishing for the time, when we can be together again...
I think of you with every waking moment of my life and dream of you with every dream that I have.
You may not be here with me... But thoughts of you are always in my heart.

Not long ago my main squeeze and I attended a friend’s dinner party. After dinner during small talk in the living room, two women were having a “Pro-life / Pro-choice” friendly, but heated debate. What we kept listening to were arguments for both sides. The debate was so intense that that my friend’s dog took shelter under a couch cushion.
After about an hour of them taking turns making each other wrong, I realized that they were not responding to each other’s arguments. Every time either would make a point the other responded with a different point or an attack. All of a sudden, I had a realization, cognition, and an epiphany that I wanted to share. “Excuse me, can I ask you a question?" All of a sudden there was a polite silence between the debaters.
Even my friend’s dog stuck his head out from under the couch cushion with an expression of relief.
I told the ladies that I found their debate informative. However I realized that their attention should be focused on a solution of to the problem of unwanted pregnancies.
What do you know! They finally agreed on something. I took the bull by the horns and decided to run with it. “I have an idea!” I said, “Why not partner with each other and focus your attention on ways and means and programs to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies? In this way you both will be on the track towards lessoning the issue on both sides."
You guessed it. They hugged and decided to continue their communication with a common goal and talked about forming group to spread the word.

Topics may include the impact of separation and divorce on families, developmental stages of children and expected reactions to divorce, skills parents can use to minimize stress and help children to cope, guidelines for reducing conflicts and solving custody issues out of court and recognizing when a child needs special help and where to find resources. Co-parenting workshops may also be structured for parents in other situations.

Create Fulfilling & Harmonious Relationships
When the love & relationships in our lives are not going well, it can make everything else so much harder and life much less satisfying. Why is there sometimes conflict and struggle between us and our partners/spouses, our family, friends or people at work? And why can it be so hard to attract or find love?
Why do some people seem to be able to attract others effortlessly while we struggle? What’s the secret behind those people who naturally nurture glowing relationships while, despite our best efforts, ours seem to wither or crumble in our hands?
We have a strong tendency to want to blame ourselves or others for our relationships not working out, but oftentimes, it’s due to unhealthy habits we formed from a time outside our conscious memory.
Our beliefs about love & relationships were formed when we were very small. If we did not get enough attention or feel secure when we were young, it can sabotage how we relate to others when we are adults. We may believe we want intimacy but actually be hiding from it or we may feel insecure and end up being too needy.

You may be losing trust with someone close to you.
Issues with your friendship or close relationships.
Reveals an overprotective, suffocating relationship.
The dog in the dream world would symbolize loyalty and friendship. If the snake attacks your dog it may suggest that you have lost trust on an individual very close to you. Maybe a friendship is at risk, or you may be having current personal issues with a friend or your significant other.
Indeed, a snake attacking or biting your pet may indicate that an external negative element (represented by the snake) is affecting your relationship with your best friend, or even worse, your relationship with your partner, boyfriend or spouse.
In some cases, the dream might be indicating that you have realized to be located at the wrong end of an overprotective or demanding relationship. Or conversely, it is possible that you are the one who is suffocating or straining a close relationship (or a friendship) ; as a result, your social relations are being impacted.
One of the characteristics of our pets, especially the dog, is their desire to be loved and accepted by their owner. Having said that, we can consider that a dream in which a snake bites your pet, may subtly be saying that your eagerness to be accepted or loved by others that you can bring you serious problems. In this case your dreamy mind would be warning you that seeking the acceptance of others may have a very high (emotionally speaking) cost.
Now, in this line of interpretation, this dream can mean that your failures or decisions are harmful to your way of interacting with your friends or your partner. Precisely, snake here is not the devil or evil spirits as they prefer to say the Charlatans and farsantes, it is a dream symbol that may be that consecrates the evil in you that is damaging your relationship with your loved ones.
Finally, I invite you to auto-analizar yourself in order to find these attitudes, habits or postures that may be causing problems or initiating conflicts with loved ones. This dream may be suggesting that you are the cause of conflicts or disputes that have been happening to you lately.

Project Timeline: 1 month
The following project aimed to develop a product that related to how older adults spend their time. I chose to examine the relationship and time spent between those with dementia and their loved ones. Using a technique called validation therapy, Tell Me explores color and play therapy to help loved ones better identify the patients emotions regardless if the patient is able to self identify their emotion.


Discussion and Self-Reflection Questions
- According to the video, sex researchers say that teens are more likely to lose their virginity in the months of June and December. Why do you think that might be the case?
- When you’re planning to go out with friends during the holiday season, how are those plans and parties different than plans and parties other times during the year? Does that change your expectations of or desires for sexual activities?
- The video states that when parents talk with their kids about sex, it helps their kids to make good decisions. Do your parents try to talk with you about sex? Do you listen to what they have to say?
- Who or what influences your choices and behavior? When it comes to sexual behavior, what are some of the intended and unintended consequences of those choices?
Season of Sex
Studies show that during the holiday season, as we merrily go to parties, exchange gifts and ring in the New Year, teens are more likely to have sex for the first time. In fact, researchers call this “the Santa Claus effect.” Hear from teens and from experts about why this might be a good time to talk about choices, decisions, love and intimacy.


For financial aid reporting purposes, “parent” means your legal parent who may be biological or adoptive or a person that the state has determined to be a student's legal parent such as widowed stepparent, grandparents, foster parents, legal guardians, older brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles. If legal parents are married or live together regardless if they were never married, are legally separated, or divorced, then both their information is used when completing the FAFSA. If a student lived with one parent more than the other over the past 12 months, then the parent the student lived with more should include their information on the FAFSA. Also, if this parent remarried, then this parent's spouse should be reported on the FAFSA. To apply for a Federal Parent PLUS Loan, the borrower must be the biological or adoptive parent of a dependent undergraduate student. Unless a grandparent has legally adopted the dependent student, then they are not permitted to borrow a Federal Parent PLUS Loan. Legal guardians are not eligible to receive Federal Parent PLUS Loans, even if they have had primary responsibility for raising the student.
