Do you have to be gay to support the right of gays and lesbians to marry? Absolutely not! No more than you have to be black to know that slavery is utterly wrong or Jewish to be sickened by the holocaust. We know that everyone deserves the chance to be happy, to share the joy of marriage with the person they love.
More importantly, we understand that marriage is about love, much than it is about sex. One needn't be married to have sex, but many couples feel the need to formalize their commitment to each other through marriage. It doesn't matter who you love, it's that you love at all that counts.
Lastly, we know that allowing gays and lesbians to marry has no effect on our own marriages and certainly no negative effects on society as a whole. How can celebrating love possibly be bad? We'll also note that it has been five years since Massachusetts began allowing same-sex marriages and they are still locust-free.


J is watching a show and I said “Oh is that Lili Taylor” (giving him one last chance at life).
I have a feeling we’ll be doing this bit together in a nursing home some day.
(I love Lili Taylor, for reals.) (And how can you not love someone who says “Joe lies…”?) (Honestly) (He’s the tweedledee to my tweedledum).


We met at Mazurik launch at 7 am and headed north east to the weather buoy and got on the fish in 50 feet of water. This couple met in Las Vegas, one lives in Canada and one in Missouri' They meet halfway to spend time with each other and i was lucky enough to have them find me and the Pork Chop Express for a nice morning on the lake. We got them their limits of walleye to take home for some nice meals and i made some new friends. Great morning on the lake.

Are you single ? Do you think you’re ready for a relationship ? Or maybe you’re in a relationship, and don’t know what you got yourself into? Friend, if you fit in any of these categories I advise you to keep reading!
We as people can get carried away following the lead of our emotions rather than the lead of the Spirit to make decisions. Especially, when it comes to who to date, or be in relationship with. When we don’t follow His leading things can get pretty awkward, real quick! You see, the Spirit of God calls to our spirit. He reveals to us the will of God for our lives in every season. It’s important for us to understand that when it comes to our desire for a relationship. If God’s truly leading you in all things there’s know need to be anxious about anything! Do know that God will reveal to you the right time for a specific chapter to unfold in your life. For those of you who are single this includes when it’s time to be in a relationship. Now, some of you may be asking how will God reveal this to me? Well, usually people believe they will hear Him audibly saying the exact date they should be in a relationship, or name their lover to be. But this is not what you should be seeking as confirmation whether you should, or should not pursue a relationship.
I’m not saying that He won’t reveal it to you in that manner. However, I will say that God will most likely reveal His answer to you based on your relationship with Him. Here’s what I mean by that. The way you pursue God shows Him that He can trust you with one of His daughters or sons in the context of a relationship. If you don’t give 100% in your relationship with Jesus than neither will you give it in a relationship with a significant other. Before you make that sigh know that I’m not trying to rain on your parade. If you do desire to be in a relationship now, or in the near future that’s not my intention at all. I just want you to know what to expect in a relationship before you find yourself in one.
As a matter of fact, when you know what to expect you better position yourself to receive what deserves your time and attention. So, if you’re single and desire a godly relationship? These are 5 signs that will either confirm you’re ready, or help prepare you to be ready. My prayer for you after reading this is to guard your heart. Wait on the Lord to share it with someone worthy enough to take good care of it! From that being said, here are 5 signs that you may not be ready for a relationship! Enjoy and be encouraged!
1. You are not ready for a relationship if you are wanting to be loved by someone of the opposite sex. Yes, I went there! This should not be the main reason to desire to be in a relationship. You should already know what love is. Better yet, who love is! God is love and the love He has for you is greater than any love you will ever experience. A lot of times I see individuals get into relationships for that specific reason. When instead they should be falling in love with the maker of their hearts and pursue purpose! Because that is really what will prepare you to love a significant other and be loved by them.
2. Everyone else seems to be in a relationship. You know this one right here never made since to me. Why? Because as I mentioned earlier, we should be following the leading of the Spirit. His ways are perfect and true. If we tend to follow the leading of the crowd we will eventually get hurt. Would you want to have sex before marriage because everyone else is doing it? Would you want to fall off a bridge because everyone is doing it? Be wise about the reasons and motives behind what you desire. Also, where is the love in that? Make sure that you’re intentional with those you let have access to your heart and vice versa.
3. You’re tired of being single. Yup, you knew this one was coming! I’ll tell you the problem with this statement–discontentment. Paul said in Philippians 4:12:
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living plenty or in want.
I wanted to share that verse to show you how contentment is key in having peace in each season of life. Once you stop practicing the art of gratitude you will find yourself dissatisfied even with “plenty.” Eventually, one day you may end up saying, “I’m tired of being in a relationship.” If you do end up reaching that point where than do you stand? Basically the cycle will never end. I get that many of you may have been single for a long time and feel it’s time you should go on a date, be in a relationship, or get married? I understand! It’s okay to feel this way. Just don’t have the mindset that you need to be in a relationship in order to feel fulfilled in life. Know that it’s still important to be content even in this season. Also, I’d ask the question why are you so tired of being single? Have you been pursuing purpose, taking good care of your well-being, or are you simply bored because you don’t have someone to call, Bae? Do know there is such a thing as a good tired. In other words, if you’re able to thrive being single most likely you will continue to thrive in a relationship. Don’t believe the lie that a relationship will completely change your life! I would say rather it increases whatever was already at work in a person’s life when they were single. You see, some people don’t have a problem becoming single again, if you have nothing of value to add to his, or her life. Those type of people “are not tired of being single.” They are more tired about not reaching their highest potential. Also, they understand that in order to do so they would need to partner with someone on their Journey who is more, or equally passionate as them to reach it!
4. You are not satisfied with being alone.
One of the most attractive trait to have is confidence. Someone who’s confident is able to enjoy his or her own company. Friend, if seeking Jesus and purpose doesn’t give you life than I don’t know what will? We must know our value and worth comes from knowing who we are in Him! I remember a season in my life where I was so satisfied with pursuing Jesus that being in a relationship was far from my mind. In fact, I had ask God to only bring someone who loved Him way more than I did. Someone who was more passionate about seeking His kingdom, righteousness, and pouring into others for His glory than I was.
We see that in Genesis Adam was aware of the presence of God in his life and was actively doing what God told him to do. It wasn’t until He was doing that God found it not good for Adam to be alone. It wasn’t Adam who thought it wasn’t good for him to be alone, God did! If you don’t love your own company what makes you think you’ll love someone else’s. By the way, I want you to keep in mind you’re never alone. God is always with you! You can tell Him anything that is troubling you on the inside. Know that the time is coming when God will say those same words to you. In God’s eyes you are special and highly favored! In His perfect timing He will present to you your rib-mate and you will say:
This is now bone of my bones flesh of my flesh (Genesis 2:23)
5. You don’t want to submit your will to that of someone else. You are still selfish in the way that you live your life.
I said this before that relationship is about reciprocity. A relationship is not meant to be one-sided. Each individual in a relationship must be willing to submit their will for that of the other person. The first sign that shows someone is not ready for a relationship is that they want to be loved by the opposite sex! One of the most important ways you will know you’re ready for a relationship is that you’ve been successfully processed to love someone as Christ loves you. It’s not that you’re desperately waiting to be loved by them! Being loved by them does matter. However, again, it should not be the main reason you desire a relationship in the first place. We as believers are called to love others. Even more in the context of marriage. For example, you will never love other people they way you will love your future spouse. For one, you won’t be with those people all the time. You don’t know them beyond the surface. But, you will get to be with your future spouse for the rest of your life. Which means you will have to love them at their best and worst. Whether they make you smile or cry. “In sickness and in heath.” I intentionally jumped straight into the topic of marriage with this one because an intimate relationship between two individuals main destination should be marriage. Marriage as we know from the Bible is not just so people can have sex. Yes, that’s a part of marriage! We know that the Lord intends for us to become “ONE” and ” MULTIPLY,” but the main purpose for marriage is to imitate and reflect the love that Christ has for the Church to the world! To build up families that will glorify God and expand His kingdom. Lastly, whether you’re single, or taken the purpose of relationship is to love someone in such a way that you both are being made more like Christ, and pointing each other CLOSER to God each day!
We’ve reached the end of the ” 5 signs that you are not ready for a relationship.” I hope you found it very encouraging! I believe whether you’re single or in a relationship, God is wanting you to be more like Jesus! He also knows what’s best for you and how to bring it to your life. Friend, stay encouraged! Continue to believe that God is faithful, because He is! I know He will keep His Word and His promises to you. In this season pursue your First Love like you’ve never done before!
“It only gets better from here.”

22-Dec-2017 - Question 1
Write a note on Incest Taboo (2006)(10marks 150 words)
The word incest is a word which means sexual intercourse with the closely related persons of one s family like brother and sister, mother and son etc. Taboo refers to the prohibition intercourse, especially on religious and moral bases. So, incest taboo means the prohibition of sexual intercourse or marriage between the close related persons of the family.
In every society, there are some limits of prohibitions of sexuality. However, in some other societies incest, taboo is permitted like in ancient Egyptians. They practised marriage between brother and sister in the royal families. This is also practised in Saha Tribe of Columbia and North America. Islam gives the permission of marriage cross and parallel cousins but in other societies, it is prohibited considered them as siblings.
Theories of incest TabooFollowing are the various theories of incest taboo given by different anthropologists.
This theory is presented by Sigmund Freud. According to this theory, a strong sexual relationship exists between two persons of a closely related family like mother and son, and father and daughter. But during the process of socialization, these sexual feelings of children are depressed due to fear from parents. Although the sexual attraction continuously exists between them. So, incest taboo is a way to control the sexual line or it is necessary for the defence against the sexual relations between these persons.Childhood familiarity Theory
This theory was presented by Edward Wester in 1920. According to this theory, People who have brought up together from very each others like siblings. These people would be not sexually attached to each others. To test the hypothesis, a study was conducted on a family of Israel, in which the married pair born a child and was kept in a separate centre where other children of the same age were present. They were nourished and reared in that centre and had no relations with parents. When they reached maturity, it was observed that among 125 pairs of male and female, there was no single case of sexuality with other group members.Cooperation Theory
This theory was presented by an eminent anthropologist E-B-Taylor. According to him, incest taboo is necessary for co-operation and healthy relationships among family members. Incest taboo accelerates cooperation among the members and if there is no restriction of sexual relations, it would lead to suspicious and hostility among members. Incest taboo enforces a person to marry outside one s family and if he performs exogamy, he attached to another family. So, in this way, the bond of cooperation with that family will be strengthened.


Where do I start? We all know what happened. Many choose to say it was time for Brad and Jen’s marriage to come to and end, others say that Angie is a husband-grabbing bitch. My take?
She knew exactly what she was doing and what would happen if she seduced Brad on the set of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”. She is the kind of woman who scares other women. She is a predator and goes after whomever she chooses with no second thought to their situation. The Queen Bee always says to get the FUNK away from any girl who doesn’t have even one FEMALE friend. This is that girl. She has on more than one occasion stated that she doesn’t maintain friendships with women. Really? Not even ONE gal? Why? Because girls see through her and see the kind of woman she is. The kind you can’t trust. The kind that will cheat on you with your husband should she see fit.
Let’s look back to her relationship with Billy Bob Thornton. She ALSO stole him away from his then-fiancee Laura Dern. Not once but TWICE she’s done this.
Jennifer is a girl’s girl. Angie is not. Jennifer is the type you marry. Angie is the type you fu*k. The Queen Bee buzzes that the only reason Brad is still with her is purely for the children. How do you walk away from six children even if your woman is crazy as fu*k? You don’t. You be a good man and stay.
You may say “what kind of ‘good’ man would have cheated in the first place”. Well, I believe that women are more devious, coniving and manipulative then most men. Straight up. We bitches plan shit out and know what and who we are going after and honestly, unless you’re the savviest of the savvy men, you will NOT see it coming. Men are too stupid to be help completely to blame – I lay just as much blame on the conniving woman who masterminds the adultery.
If a beautiful woman decides she wants an attached man, it is simply a matter of time. The right combination of attention, sexiness and interest will blindside almost any man. Any woman can see it coming, but God forbid we mention this to said men…they will make the call that we are nothing less than catty and jealous. Catty and jealous my ass. Jealous that we are about to watch another woman walk out the door with our man. And with nothing we can do.
Angie walked out the door with Brad…and Jenn never had a fighting chance.

Ernst and Young recently agreed to settle two cases of independence violations stemming from personal relationships between audit partners and members of the accounting or financial control staff at audit clients. In the first case, the SEC order states that the lead partner on an audit engagement for a public company maintained a close friendship with the company’s CFO that included traveling together for non-business purposes, thousands of dollars in entertainment-related expenses, and hundreds of personal emails, texts, and voicemails. In addition, the SEC found that despite the fact that several senior partners were made aware of certain facts about the friendship, they never further investigated whether the spending violated E&Y’s policies or provided evidence of an inappropriate relationship.
In the other case, the SEC found that E&Y violated independence rules when a member of the E&Y engagement team had a romantic relationship with the chief accounting officer of an audit client. According to the SEC’s order, the coordinating partner on the engagement was aware of facts indicating the two were engaged in a relationship, but failed inquire into the relationship.
Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement, Andrew Ceresney, stated that “[t]hese are the first SEC enforcement actions for auditor independence failures due to close personal relationships between auditors and client personnel. Ernst & Young did not do enough to detect or prevent these partners from getting too close to their clients and compromising their roles as independent auditors.” E&Y agreed to pay $9.3 million to settle the charges.

Majority of people (especially these days) feel entitled to receive physical affection because of the type of relationship they have with another individual. Significant others feel entitled to intimacy because they’re in a relationship. Family members are entitled to a warm hug or a kiss on the cheek because they’re related. People feel like they’re supposed to shake hands with someone upon meeting them. And sadly, we are taught that we’re ‘supposed to’ (regardless if we want to or not) oblige to physical displays of affection or otherwise be seen as rude or ungrateful.
I feel that the root cause is dysfunctional parents. It all begins when a child is being taught to honor someone else’s feelings above their own.
I can’t begin to count how many times I was forced to give someone a hug or a kiss when I was a little girl. There were family members that I met for the first time that I had to let kiss me on the cheek (gross!). Even friends of family that I didn’t even know would demand a hug from me. And if I didn’t want to (or even acted like I didn’t want to), they would say I should because they’re uncle Charlie’s-best friends’-cousins-wife’s-son. As if that connection to a family member somehow entitled them to squeeze me into their arms, plant a big fat wet kiss and leave me stinking of their over-applied cologne/perfume. Cringe!
All this time I was being taught that I was rude, impolite and needed to learn better manners. The message to me was basically that my personal choice/space was irrelevant and my ‘manners’ needed some discipline.
Unfortunately, being taught that certain people were entitled to my physical space and body led me to accept highly dysfunctional intimate relationships as I got older. I didn’t respect my own feelings if I felt invaded or uncomfortable, I just let it happen. Because, after all, you’re ‘supposed to’ be intimate with your significant other.
Thankfully, I’ve acquired quite a bit of self worth through my experiences over the years and am changing this old and dysfunctional paradigm starting with my own children.
Never have I, nor will I ever tell my son that he has to allow someone into his personal space if he’s uncomfortable with it. Whether that be a hug, kiss, shoulder rub or pat on the head. I want him to know that no matter who or what the circumstance, people need to respect his wishes and his body.
Now that I have a daughter on the way, I feel even more of a necessity to empower her with self respect. Knowing first hand where things may lead later on down the road (like me with intimate relationships), I never want her to feel like she has to comply to someone else’s feelings of entitlement.
My kids are not rude, they are not ungrateful, they do not have bad manners, they have self worth. <3


There is also the case of Ashley I., a 27 year-old woman shown each episode simultaneously laughing and crying uncontrollably over her crush, Jared. Whether or not these contestants actually do suffer from undiagnosed personality disorders, the problem is that the show uses them for entertainment. Each week, Ashley I.’s emotional outbursts provided the show’s “money shot,” a term originating in the pornographic film industry referring to the moment a man ejaculates (Grindstaff, 2002; Dubrofsky, 2009). Thus the “money-shot,” as Dubrofsky (2009) explained in her analysis of The Bachelor, is likened to the moment when a woman is revealed as “frighteningly over-emotional” and a failure at love.
The men on BIP were generally portrayed as helplessly dumb when it came to beautiful women. For example, three men fell for femme fatale Samantha, despite two of them being aware of her capacity to manipulate emotions. The backstory on Samantha is that she came to paradise having already begun a relationship prior to the show with another cast-member, Joe. Once in paradise, Samantha pretended she was interested in continuing a relationship with him. She was really using him to get a rose so she could stay in paradise and meet Nick, who was scheduled to arrive the following week. Interestingly, Joe had pulled the same exact move on a woman the week before; manipulating this woman’s feelings so he could get her rose and wait for Samantha to get to paradise. Both Samantha and Joe were vilified, but because Samantha bested Joe at his own game, he was re-framed on the show as a victim to her wiles and cleared of any wrongdoing. Double standards like this characterize BIP.

"I feel that." 5 Signs Your Dog Loves You More Than Anything, 9 Signs that Prove Your Cat Really Loves You, Surprising Signs Your Partner May Be Cheating, 10 Signs You May Be in a Toxic Friendship. One of the signs that someone is emotionally unavailable that you can only spot later down the line is when he does not invest in the relationship. To save you from heartbreak and stress, you need to be on the lookout for certain telltale signs. If you don't feel like a priority, you might not be to this person.”. It can be a subtle difference, but pushing their own emotions away doesn’t help the bond between the two of you either. You try too hard. Not giving affection is one obvious sign. One is to explain to them, kindly, what’s going on, focusing on what they’re missing out on. So when your partner is showing signs of being emotionally unavailable… "So instead of saying 'I feel angry' or 'hurt' or 'sad,' they talk making the emotion an object," Sultanoff said. "That doesn’t present an emotion, but when someone says, ‘I feel like everything is piling up,’ you can infer the emotional experience that they’re feeling— overwhelmed or overloaded or something like that. Sometimes, it’s nice to be with someone without commitment), then you might want to consider ending things. Our editors handpick the products that we feature. 1. Before moving on towards the signs and traits of emotionally unavailable women, we need to define exactly what we mean when we say these three words together!

I don't want to have to deal with signs of a bad relationship. Communication is the most important thing, even between friends and staying that way. There's nothing to explain when no words are spoken. Fuck, make me believe in a truth to send me in a better direction for once in my life instead of in the wrong one. I would like a UCLA babe to be my girlfriend. Strange to see them never around and approaching me, ignoring the wrong ones. I can't find the time to go to these places I'd like to go. There's just too many questionable people putting me on the defensive. I want to blow up at the mighty pushing their shit at me.

The goal of this study is to understand the association between substance use and sexual risk behavior in a sample of Latino men who have sex with men (MSM) and are living with HIV on the U.S./Mexico border. The specific aims are:
1. To identify and describe substance use patterns among HIV+ Latino MSM on the U.S./Mexico border. It is hypothesized that this group will demonstrate lower levels of intravenous drug use and greater alcohol consumption per drinking event than has been demonstrated by other HIV+ MSM in the U.S.
2. To document the frequency and context of risky sexual activity among HIV+ Latino MSM on the U.S./Mexico border. It is hypothesized that individuals will report significant risk behavior on both sides of the border.
3. To examine both global and event-based associations between substance use and risky sexual activity in this group. It is hypothesized that both global and event-based measures of substance use will be related to risky sexual activity.
4. To explore the role of acculturation in risky sexual activity, substance use, and the relationship between substances and sexual activity in this group. It is hypothesized that acculturation will moderate any observed ethnicity effects.
5. To evaluate the “cognitive escape” model (McKirnan, Ostrow, & Hope, 1996) of the association between substance use and risky sexual activity in this group. It is hypothesized that HIV prevention burnout will increase over time, and that the interaction between substance use and expectancies for escape from HIV risk awareness will predict sexual risk in both cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis

Best part about parenting is you don’t have to be perfect all the time!
No parent is perfect! No child is perfect! Each parent is different; each parenting is different! No parent is wrong; no parenting is wrong!
We are not hear to compare ourselves with anybody! But there is always something that we can learn about!
Don’t keep yourself busy in creating blow-up moments in your day! If you can connect with child and if the child is able to share their real emotions with you then it is more than enough! These real moments teach our children how to be the best they can be, not perfect, just real.
The kids will remember those raw moments only! Being connected with the child is the only thing we need to focus on!


When I look in the mirror at this man I see much more. I see a lonely man that is hurting and angry inside. Heís trying to grieve over the loss of someone very dear and special to him. Someone taken away by death with no warning, his life taken by his own hand. It has left a big emptiness inside him.
He sometimes wears a mask to hide the tears from the pain and anguish that he feels. Sometimes heís afraid to let others know exactly how he feels, afraid of what theyíll say to him, afraid of their reaction to him.
He just wishes things were different. He wishes it would all go away. He wishes he could wake up in the morning and realize it has all been a bad dream.
When heís out in public he hopes it doesnít show. He hopes the tears donít come to his eyes. He hopes his anger doesnít come out. So he tries as hard as he can to hold back the tears. After all a real man is not supposed to cry. So he hides behind his mask.
He manages to suppress his anger, he saves it for when heís alone then he finds ways to release it to keep from hurting others and to keep from lashing out at them for no reason.
So if you see me out and about and you manage to see a tear in my eye, donít criticize me, judge me, or stereotype me. Real men do cry and sometimes it is difficult not to. Donít tell me things like ďenough is enoughĒ, or that ďitís time to get on with your life.Ē Donít tell me ďitís been long enough that I should be over it.Ē It just doesnít work that way. Life will never be the same again and you never get over it.
Listen to me but donít condemn me. Donít feel sorry for me, feel with me. Donít shy away from me, but help me carry this load. Be there for me when I need someone to talk to.
Tell me I donít need to hide behind my mask. Tell me itís ok to feel the way I feel. Tell me itís ok for me to cry. Tell me itís ok to feel the anger. Most of all tell me youíll help me through this nightmare of life.

Daily Prompt: Lifestyle
Thank you for reading,


I'm all alone for the first time in four years. The Crush ended things yesterday, and even though I wasn't anywhere close to being in love with him, I feel like i've had my heart wrenched out. I'm not unfamiliar to this feeling...I was with my ex boyfriend for 3 and a half years and in that time he cheated on me, and broke up with me three times. And i LOVED him - i know what it feels like to have a broken heart. This isn't a broken heart but its a wounded heart. I really, really liked him :( We had all the signs of a relationship. We saw each other regularly, i'd had dinner with his best friend and his partner, i'd met his siblings, my parents had had dinner with his mum, we'd been on holiday (I'm left with a printed photograph of us on a camel..me looking so happy, him looking as miserable as the camel, what do i do with it? I've hidden it away in my bedside drawer for the time being. Burning it is excessive and i dont feel ready to throw it away just yet...) we spent a happy fireworks night letting off our own fireworks in his garden, nearly setting fire to ourselves and firing a rocket that the wind took inches away from the neighbours Sky dish. I was so happy. He was happy. If i could turn back time to Sunday morning when I changed everything..well, i dont know if i would. I would because i'd still wake up happy, knowing that I had such a gorgeous guy in my life, but in reality i wouldn't because in the longrun me and my heart are much better off. He had underlying family issues, couldnt commit to an actual relationship (for the last six months we've been 'seeing each other'..practically a couple in every way, or so i thought) and that because he didnt like me enough to be able to open up about things, he said he wasnt sure about our future. Essentially I was a distraction from unhappy thoughts. In a way im so glad I was able to take his mind off things and make him happy, but at the same time i'm gutted that what i thought was the makings of a happy relationship was infact never ever going to turn into one. If i'd never asked him why he wont commit to being my boyfriend, i'd still be blissfully unaware that me and Crush were going nowhere. Sure we liked each other lots, we had fun, but we were going nowhere. It was like a slap in the face. I cried, he cried, it seemed so stupid that two people who really liked one another were 'breaking up', completely illogical.He drove me home, and as we pulled up outside 'Stereo Heart' came on the radio and i jabbed the button for silence, i can't listen to that song right now. I cant think about fireworks, or Lanzarote, and if i smell Paco Rabanne's One Million aftershave i'm bound to have an emotional breakdown. I sat in his car, made one last desperate attempt to see if the situation could be rectified, and he said 'i cant give you what you need, what you deserve'...and with that I leant over to hug him, kissed him (why did i do that? why?? I couldnt bare the thought of not getting to kiss him again, he was a bloody good kisser) and got out of the car. I don't think i've stopped crying since. People at work are sympathetic. My friends are diamonds. The consensus is the same - 'you can do so much better' 'hes not worth it' 'theres a million other guys out there who would kill to take his place'. Funnily enough the day before, I had a mystery 'package' delivered to my office...in the form of the most beautiful bouquet of 12 red roses. Initially the source was a mystery, but now I know who it is, and it truely did what it was intended to do, made me smile on a day that was otherwise very unhappy.
There are people who care about me, and i'm so, so greatful for that.
It's hard though, so so hard. To go from talking to someone every single day, to not talking at all, and wishing so hard that their name would flash up on a text on my phone. But theres no point, talking to him wont change how he feels. Now im free to meet someone who does want to be with me, and want to care about me the way i want to care about someone. I just want to fall in love again, without the cheating and the breakups this time please, and be happy. I just want to be happy. At least Molly makes me happy.

Last week, we talked about loving one another as Jesus commanded.
Remember, love is not merely an intent or feeling. Love is an action. Loving others is an action. When we love others unconditionally, our hearts will lead us to serve them unconditionally.
Our service to others begins at home with our family. Think about it, if we cannot unselfishly love and serve our family, how can we serve others outside our home unconditionally?
There are endless ways we love and serve our family. If a family is built on the unconditional love and foundation of Jesus, love in action will be evident and second nature. Your role in the family significantly impacts the way you serve the rest of your family. For example, parents and grandparents nurture, instruct and protect; whereas, children obey their elders, help each other and their elders, and protect each other.
No doubt, this kind of love in action, built on the promises and love of Jesus, is a precious commodity, especially in our current modern world. The Christian family is a target of the enemy: seeking to destroy the dynamics of a unit woven by God.
Families have to focus on Jesus every day, together. Families have to guard against outside attacks. Families have to keep actively loving and serving each other.
How is your family loving today?


In honour of Fathers Day, I have put together 7 intimate messages from Women who have words they would like their Fathers to know. For me, I’ve had the blessing of having both my parents in my life so Fathers Day is just as important as celebrating my Mother. My Mum would be furious with my fondness for my Dad, even til this very day! I don’t know what makes me a Daddy’s Girl, but I am!
These messages capture different circumstances, culture and family dynamic and no matter how old a woman is, a Fathers love is still important.
– I want my daddy to know that I know that he’s working hard everyday to make sure that I have everything I need in life. I appreciate you
– I want you to know that even though you and mum couldn’t stay together, it doesn’t mean you don’t love me and whatever transpires between you and mum doesn’t reflect negatively on the love you have for me.
– I want you to know that you set the standard on how I accept love. Thanks to you, I know how amazing it is to be loved by a man but I don’t need to be loved by a man to feel fulfilled as long as i knew that you loved me like no other. Thank you
– I want you to know that your nonchalant demeanour and plain-speaking ways is one of the things I love about myself – Thanks Papa
– Thanks for the forehead dad!
– It use to embarrass the shit out of me when you would threaten the boys I was dating; in retrospect, I think it’s cute.
Dear Dad, thank you for keeping me protected and giving me the closest to unconditional love that a Human Being can.
Comment below and let me know how to plan to spend your Fathers Day.


Does my home or tenant insurance policy cover my partner if they move in with me?
When the time comes to move in together, there are a lot of things couples are thinking about, and while figuring out your insurance coverage probably isn’t at the top of your list of relationship concerns, you’re better off to address it sooner rather than later.
Once the closet space is sorted out, and who will cover the Netflix bill has been determined, it’s a good idea to call your broker and find out if your existing home or tenant insurance policy is adequate to cover your partner’s possessions too.
While most home and tenant insurance policies will automatically cover your partner if you’re legally married when they move in but if you’re not married and are living with your boyfriend or girlfriend, the rules are slightly different. Your policy might not extend to your partner automatically.
Insurance coverage for unmarried partners largely depends on where you live and your insurer’s definition of the word spouse. The Government of Canada says a spouse is a person to whom you’re legally married. However, this definition varies from province to province. In Ontario, for example, a spouse is someone you’re legally married to or someone you’ve lived with in a marriage-like relationship – often called a common-law relationship – for three years.
If your partner qualifies as a spouse based on your province’s definition, they will likely be covered by your home or tenant insurance policy – but insurers don’t all follow the same guidelines.
Your insurance provider may have a different definition of the word spouse or other criteria your partner needs to meet in order to be covered by your policy. Some insurance providers may even be less strict than you might expect when it comes to protecting your live-in partner. In fact, with some insurers, your home or tenant insurance policy might cover any unmarried partner who is over the age of majority and lives with you. But that’s not always the case, and you’ll need to check with your broker to see if your partner is covered by your existing policy.
In some cases, your broker may advise your partner to purchase their own home or tenant insurance policy. For example, if your partner moves into your home and pays rent to you, they may need to purchase their own tenant insurance policy.
Before your partner purchases their own insurance policy, ask your broker about adding your partner to your existing policy as an “additional named insured.” A named insured is a person who is designated by name in an insurance policy and is protected by what’s outlined in the policy – as the policyholder, you would be the primary named insured. An additional named insured is a person who is added to a policy and has the same rights and responsibilities as the primary named insured, but won’t be responsible for paying the premium. When discussing additional named insureds with your broker, it’s important to remember that – like the term spouse – the definition of an additional named insured can vary between insurance providers.
Before your boyfriend or girlfriend moves in with you, reach out to your insurance broker to find out which option will provide the best coverage for both of you.


There is such a simple joy in my kids’ eyes when they see their mom sit down on the couch, even just for a moment. Everything becomes a chaotic jostle as the children crowd in around her, for no better reason than to be close to her. Of course they have needs or desires, and of course they can be selfish in their attitudes; but it humbles me as their father to see the patience that my wife expresses for our children, and how she can, without saying a word, make them understand that they have a special place in her heart forever.
Thank you, mothers, for your simple expressions of love for your children, which remind us of our savior, Jesus Christ, and His simple love that He expressed when He said, “Let the kids come and climb on me, it’s alright.”
Max Lucado wrote a beautiful prayer, based from Psalm 30:10-11 “Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me; Lord, be my helper!” You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness.
Father, you’re a God of reconciliation and redemption. You are capable of more than I could ever ask or imagine.
Would you be my helper today? Turn my sadness into joy. It’s so easy to stay in the depths of sadness and self-pity, but draw me out of the darkness.
Please protect my family and comfort their hearts. Show them what joy is.
Thank you that you want only the very best for us and won’t leave us alone in our misery.
In Christ’s name, Amen.
For our study today, I’ve included a couple short videos of important themes that are touched on in Matthew 16. I hope you’ll benefit from the material, and I wish you and your families a wonderful Mother’s Day!


Rerun of Celebrating Love with Jesus Diaz, Jr., Episode 165 [Valentine’s Day Edition], Episode 165
Thank you for listening to this episode from my archives. Stay tuned for my brand new 10-minute Q&A episodes, new creative guests, and even news on my upcoming book! Send me a DM on Instagram @melissallarena – I would love to hear your thoughts on this “best of episode.”
Do you believe in marriage? Do you feel left out this Valentine’s Day? Where do you stand on this “need” to even have a partner on Valentine’s Day or forever?
This week’s guest is my husband, Jesus Diaz, Jr., whom I met 25 years ago, and we’ve been married for 18 years. Some of our Valentine’s Days have been remarkable, and others we can’t even remember.
This is Jesus’ second time on this podcast and he’s back due to popular demand. Whether you’re spending Valentine’s Day alone or with a partner, tune in to this conversation as Jesus shares his thoughts on loving ourselves and others too. This is not a gushy conversation between two married couples who feel like we have to recruit the world to follow our path.
We both believe you should spend Valentine’s Day however you choose because you are the only person who best knows what your greatest expression of love is. You know what you need this “love season” more than the idealities that you see about love.
In this episode, Jesus and I cover a lot of ground including whether marriage can be easy, the thought that divorce could be healthy, and how anyone can learn how to be a better recipient of love.
Share this conversation with someone wondering if they did something wrong for not having the love of their life this Valentine’s Day. This episode might be what they need to feel adored.
About Jesus Diaz, Jr.
A kind and gentle husband for almost 18 years and the father of my three sons – these are the roles that he has taken since we met back in 199. Jesus was 20 when we began dating back at NYU, where he was a computer science major at that time. It was when his Latino fraternity put together a dance called Caliente Jam where it all began.
Jesus and I have grown together, sharing our deepest secrets with each other. We dated for six years and then got married in a side chapel of his Jamaica, NY hometown church. Jesus has gone from boyfriend to fiancée to husband to co-parent through the years. He has played every role with a sincere desire to make things easy for us.
Meanwhile, I’ve always wondered if “easy marriage” was just a fantasy or truly possible. It turns out I’ve essentially been the one to benefit the most from his ease. He may not admit it, but Jesus is a romance expert. Because of his talents, I have learned to be more receptive to love through the years.
Side note: Jesus is actually the reason I launched this podcast back in 2017. He was the one who told me to take GaryVee (episode 10) and James Altucher (episode 5) on their dare, which was to start a podcast and they would appear as guests.
Two similar episodes you may enjoy too:
Creativity: Be creative this Valentine’s day in a way that manifests your greatest expression of love.
Curiosity: Always ask yourself why you want something and that includes a partner.
Courage: Both marriage and divorce take courage. It’s not for us to judge.
Love and Marriage: Love and marriage are two separate things. You could be married, but not in love and in love, but not married.
Easy: Jesus has always thought that marriage seems to be very easy, growing up with his parents who love and support each other, giving him an example of what marriage looks like.
Simple: With any two different brains coming together, there’s oftentimes going to be disagreements in different areas. That said, Jesus still isn’t giving up on the belief that it can be simple.
Stigma: Because of how marriage and divorce are portrayed in society, people have different impressions in their heads that are reinforced over and over again. Divorce is comparable to a breakup in a relationship, but it has a stigma that a breakup doesn’t have.
Growth: Divorce is a healthy thing. It’s like being fired from a job. It’s not working out so why continue to bang your head in a place where you’re not at your best? A divorce can actually open up doors for you to get to your best spot.
Expectation: Our society has built this Valentine’s Day construct, making you feel that you have to be in love or you have to find love as if there’s something wrong with you.
Happy: If you’re single right now, find comfort in knowing that you don’t have to be anything for anyone on Valentine’s Day. You don’t have to be in love as long as you’re happy.
Romance: Romance is painted in one way. But as a married couple, we might experience it and need it in a different way. Jesus defines romance as the daily activities you do, even if you’re just washing the dishes or scraping the stove. It’s not the traditional role men are supposed to play.
Fluid: Romance can be very fluid. It doesn’t have to be the prescription of what we see on TV.
Celebrate: Celebrate occasions if you have someone for Valentine’s Day. Don’t just treat it as an off holiday either. Carry it out every month and find something special that you can look forward to or celebrate together.
Fire: There are many ways to keep the fire burning. It doesn’t have to be just one way. Keep it front and center every month, even if it’s watching a movie together when the kids are asleep or just having a conversation by a candle outdoors.
Clues: Find out more about the other person and what’s important to them. Find traces of what makes them feel great and what inspires them. It doesn’t even cost money to be romantic, as long as you’re being thoughtful about it.
Maturity: It takes emotional maturity to put yourself out there. You’re thinking about yourself much more than anyone else on this planet is thinking about you. If you put yourself out there emotionally for that one person, what do you have to lose?
Dates: You could be very interested but just very limited in terms of what you get to say. And so, it helps to keep a list of topics in your pocket just to make sure you get the conversation going.
Challenges: Don’t immediately say no, or don’t react in any other way than saying, “Yes, and” because that will continue the conversation. Don’t just shut down.
Gentleness: Gentleness facilitates ease in a relationship. And when your kids see that between you and your partner, it also facilitates aspiration among your kids.
Authenticity: Don’t put so much pressure on yourself to be perfect or ideal. Romance comes in many shapes and forms. As long as you’re unique and true, love and romance will follow.
Self-love: Sometimes you have to make a choice between loving someone else versus loving yourself.

Discuss De Facto "length of relationship" defined by? posted within the Australian Visas and Immigration Advice forum at Getting Down Under
24th April 2010, 01:43 AM #1
De Facto "length of relationship" defined by?
My partner and I (neither of us Australian PRs or citizens) are looking at what requirements need to be met to qualify as a "de facto" relationship. I am in living/working in australia on a 457, she lives overseas and is currently in Australia visiting me on an extended tourist visa.
Our main question is "what determines when the relationship began?" -- does this start from the first time we met? or the first time we went on a date? from the time that said we wanted to be together in a more serious/longer-term capacity?
- To give some background, we originally met in university almost 14yrs ago, where we had mutual romantic interest, but at that point just remained friends.
- We lived in different countries for about 9 years, but maintained occasional contact by email.
- A year ago (April 2009), we got back into touch by email and romantic interest sparked up.
- In August 2009, we met up in person (while I was on a business trip in the US) and it became clear that we wanted to be together.
- I returned to Australia from in Sept 2009, and we then maintained a distance relationship for 3 months.
- In Dec 2009, she came to Australia on a tourist visa, and we have been living together since then (approx 4months).
- She needs to return to the US at the beginning of May 2010.
As I mentioned, I am currently on a 457, but will soon be starting the application for a RSMS. If possible, it would be great to include her on it, but it obviously really depends on whether or not we can qualify as de facto? (we have been exclusive
I know we haven't been living together for 12-months, but we (in theory?) do meet the "OR do not live apart on a permanent basis" I've heard that people have succeeded in obtaining spousal visas based on de facto status even though they were living in different countries for periods of their relationship.
If we don't qualify as de facto, what other partner/relationship-based visas options could we explore, or what can/need to do in order to make her immigration to Australia a possibility.

Re: De Facto "length of relationship" defined by?
It really depends on when your relationship became "spouse-like". It is fairly subjective and it depends a lot on the type of evidence you are able to supply. Have you considered getting married ?It would make things a lot simpler. The only way you can add your partner to your sc. 857 visa is if she is in Australia on a qualifying visa.
The alternative,once you have permanent residency, is to sponsor her on a partner visa. Below is some general info about the relationship requirements :
Certain people wishing to settle in Australia permanently are required to be in a relationship for at least one year before they can apply.
The one-year relationship requirement applies to people who are applying to settle in Australia as the de facto spouse or interdependent partner of an Australian sponsor.
The requirement applies to all such applications made overseas and in Australia.
What is the relationship requirement?
Applicants seeking to demonstrate a de facto or interdependent relationship with their partner must provide evidence that, for the period covering at least the twelve months before the visa application is lodged:
they had a mutual commitment to a shared life to the exclusion of all others
the relationship between them is genuine and continuing and
they live together (or do not live separately and apart on a permanent basis).
Living together is regarded as a common element in most on-going relationships and is one of the criteria prescribed in the Migration Regulations. Partners who are currently not living together may be required to demonstrate a high level of proof that they are not living separately and apart on a permanent basis.
What evidence is considered?
It is important that a couple claiming a de facto or interdependent relationship are able to provide evidence that their relationship is consistent with a 'spouse-like' relationship.
Some of the factors to be considered in deciding whether the partners satisfy the requirement include:
Knowledge of each other's personal circumstances
financial aspects of the relationship, joint financial commitments such as real estate or other assets and sharing day-to-day household expenses
the nature of the household, including living arrangements and joint care and responsibility for any children of the relationship
the social aspects of the relationship, provided in statements (statutory declarations) by friends and acquaintances and
the nature of the commitment, including duration of the relationship, how long the couple has been living together and whether they see the relationship as a long-term one.
I have been in a de facto spouse relationship for 11 months. Do I still have to wait for another month before I can apply?
Although you may apply now, your application may not be approved, unless you are eligible for the requirement to be waived. You may choose to defer making an application until you and your partner can meet the one-year relationship requirement.
My partner and I met when we were travelling around the world and realise now that we want to remain together. Does our time travelling together count towards the one year requirement?
When a person applies for a partner visa and are not married to each other, they must be able to provide evidence that their relationship has been 'spouse-like' for at least 12 months prior to making the application.
If your relationship has been on a more casual basis – eg. you travelled together and shared accommodation, but you each had your own money, paid your own expenses and made no long term plans for your future until recently – you may not be able to meet the one-year relationship requirement.
You may need to establish your relationship for a longer basis before you make the decision to apply for partner migration.
My job in Australia does not allow me to travel to my partner's country to live there for extended periods. We have been in a relationship for 12 months but lived together for only eight months. Will I be eligible to sponsor my partner to Australia?
You may be eligible. It is recognised that it is possible for the parties to be physically apart for periods of time, due to work or travel commitments, yet committed to a shared life.
In assessing a relationship, a number of factors other than periods of physical cohabitation are taken into account.
