Well! “Oxytocin”, you must have heard about it, right? Yes, it’s not your fault to fall in love, it’s all because of this silly hormone which influences bondings and attachments. All relationships go through the ups and downs, it’s natural. But the most important thing you must owe to your relationship is your loyalty.
The best relationship usually begins unexpectedly. And most of us fail to have a good and successful relationship. This only happens only if you give part-time people a full-time position in your life.
It’s important to know your worth, once it’s known, you will never make mistakes. “No relationship can survive without trust, honesty, and communication, no matter how close you are.” Love is not about expecting, it’s all about giving. Once you learn to give and forget, you will always be happy. All you need it just his/her attention and that should be proper.
Today’s blog is for the male personalities over there. I’m here to help you guys understand your girlfriends a little more. So, read it carefully.
Few advice’s for men –
1) Lack of communications – I know you guys may be the busiest person on this planet but still if you afford to have a girlfriend, it’s your responsibility to give her some of your precious time. Because women need someone to talk to, and I know it’s impractical for you all to be by her side all the time. But still, no one can be busy for the whole day. It’s all about priority.
If you are not with her every time she needs you, it’s like asking her to move on. Be there for her at least and by “being there”, I also mean that you need to be mentally present. You try to “listen” to her, not just nod your head at everything she says. There’s a difference between talking and replying.
Pay attention, become an important part of the conversation, and make the conversation lively. That’s the only way you can strengthen up communication between the two of you and will make your relationship great.
2) Don’t be selfish – I know there must be many things that please you more than your partner. And because of that, you give less time to her. She starts to feel lonely and distorted. Women have the tendency to be treated as a priority, not an option. Once she resists your absence, your all efforts will fail to please her again. Every relationship has a connection and once u lose that, u lost everything. Try to maintain the spark in your relationship, don’t take it for granted. If you fail to fulfill your promises and not putting effort into your relationship, it will pull your girl apart bit by bit, to a situation where she wouldn’t want to commit anymore and will probably look around for a new romance. Even though she would be very much in love with you, she will walk away.
3) Insecurity – These act like a slow poison, it can slowly kill any relationship. Make her comfortable and don’t ask too many questions from her. Trust and loyalty should be the root of your relationship, there shouldn’t be any insecurity between both of you. Insecurity reflects that you don’t love each other. When you frequently doubt on her, it will irritate her and she will tend to avoid you as much as possible, to get rid of this. Most probably, it will drive her away from you.
4) Give her proper personal space – This is the most common thing for the break up nowadays. You have to be mature enough to understand that there are other important activities mandatory for life apart from your love relationship. You have to give her proper space to understand her responsibility and fulfill them as well. This will make her grow on her own. She will love you more for this freedom.
5) Be emotionally available to her – This simply means that, but efforts to show how much you love her. Convey your feelings in front of her. Don’t be so strict and Feelingless. Being emotionally unavailable is one of the worst things you can do with her.
She doesn’t want you to just hang out with her, attend parties with her, go to movies, or lots of money. but she wants you to be emotional, understand her, love her immensely, and be with her with a whole heart. She wants you to open up your heart in front of her.
Speak up your heart bro! She’ll love you to the moon and back. And don’t be absent in her special days, don’t kill her expectations. That’s what she wants.
6) Give her enough time – Time is one of the most priceless gifts that you can owe to someone whom you love. When you spent time with each other, this shows how much you love her and their company means a lot to you. People who tend to be too busy on their own, often end up alone.
Don’t be a person who doesn’t have enough time to spend with his girlfriend/wife. If you are busy for some days, she will surely understand but if you develop a habit of not spending time with her, labeling “I’m too busy right now “, this will make her hurt beyond measure. Make sure your girl never feels alone. Do not give” I’m too busy for you” vibe, or you will soon be filled with loneliness and no one to talk to.
7) Don’t compare her with others – A girl hates to be compared by others. It’s the most common reason why the woman leaves the man they love. Try to avoid this, as it makes her sad and she starts to overthink.
8) Don’t ignore the little things – Little things matter a lot in a relationship. If she makes an effort to do something for you, give her respect by giving compliments. If you pay attention to the little things, you will always be happy.
Find happiness in the smallest things and smallest efforts. This will make your girl feel appreciated and happy. Always make her feel special.
Lastly, I would like to say that – “She wants nothing more than that, what you promised the day you proposed her. “Try to be the same person as you were on the first day. Try to give her the compliment always, this will make her smile and it will surely make your day.
Be proud to have her in your life. Why wouldn’t she expect from you? After all, she loves you. It’s her right to do so. Learn to fulfill her expectations rather than complaining and making excuses every time. Otherwise, you may regret later on when you have nothing left with you.
Also read that are you becoming more dependent on your partner know from these signs
I Just Hope, after reading this blog, you may try to give your relationship a better platform. Thank you.


IN PROGRESS: Short Film “In a Laundromat”
A short film has started its production as it had gone through a couple of revisions in the script. The feedback from actors and crew members have helped shape the story in a much more visualized scenario. We are all excited to shoot the rest of the scenes in 16 mm!
In a Laundromat takes place in a small laundromat in Piedmont, California, where two people in these early twenties come across each other while having relationship problems. The woman is a classic luddite, who is rare to be found at her age these days. The man she meets is a hipster who believes he can juggle his relationship with his girlfriend and his own shameless life. They beliefs about the ideal life styles clash one day in a laundromat when the man realizes he is short of a quarter to get his clothes dried. Inadvertently, he asks the woman who is deeply involved with listening to the middle weight boxing match between Dimitry Pirog and daniel Jacobs. The animated man choses the wrong candidate to ask for a quarter, for the woman is annoyed by the man’s strangly friendliness and is appalled by his dependency on technology. While they both find each other’s lifestyle to be the incorrect way of how one must live their life, they learn from each together that their interest in communication is still the same.
A luddite meets a hipster at a laundromat. They taunt each other’s imperfect relationships by taunting each other’s lifestyles. When their beliefs clash in the laundromat, they learn that they are not so different from each other – just how they blame on their means of communication.


Rita Daniels answers her front door, greeting Alison Rey and her boyfriend Johnny Goodluck. She hugs Alison, expressing how delighted she is to see her. And this must be Johnny?, Rita says. Guilty as charged!, he laughs. It’s SUCH a pleasure to finally meet Rita!, he says. ‘And these are for you,’ he adds, presenting Rita with a small bouquet of flowers. ‘Well, aren’t you the perfect gentleman!’ Rita says happily, inviting them to come into the living room.

Genevieve and I became friends through a team project from Prof. Soyka's class at FIT. I feel so blessed to have had the chance to meet her. She, having great inner beauty, is a very talented illustrator, designer, and educator from whom I've been inspired. I love her delicate illustration and sophisticated design styles. She also helped me a lot not to feel lonely as a stranger in NYC. I haven't met her son, Mateo yet because I came back to Korea about three years ago. It's incredible I can see both her and her husband, Takuma from a sweet little baby boy.
Thank you so much for being such a good friend, G! I miss you, and can't wait to meet your little angel.

3 Reasons to Embrace LOVE
It’s almost Valentine’s Day! It’s our favourite time of year, when everyone has love on the brain. This year, we want to spread extra love, and keep love and joy going beyond February 14, through all of 2021! Here are three reasons to embrace love all year round:
Love raises our vibrations! Operating at a higher vibration is great for mental and physical health and helps to spread love and positivity to those around us. Raise your vibration and share the love by telling your friends, family and pets that you love them! Sharing loving sentiments reduces stress and anxiety, boosts our immune systems and make us happier.
Love Conquers All
When we live and give from a place of love everyone wins! Acting from a place of love makes all of our actions more positive and meaningful, and can go a long way. If we all work to spread love and joy in all that we do and say, we can make the world a better place, one small action at a time!
Self-love is real love! It is just as important to treat ourselves with the same kindness, patience, gentleness and respect with which we treat our loved ones. Practicing self-love and self-care and prioritizing our own well-being helps us stay happy and healthy, and maintain positive, healthy relationships.

Believe each other but it can't be bcoz every relationship have a curious feelings on his partner right?
So, don't feel soo in love when it's not confirm yet.. honestly i'm afraid.... :(


We laughed, cried, danced, hugged, withdrew, celebrated, shared, broke down, broke through, held space, played “Big Talk Game”*, welcomed all parts of us in love and acceptance. We were present! Something transformed, shifted for good in our souls. There’s no going back. No settling for less. Once the soul tastes that connection to its true … More “YES” to Being Alive!


im so fucked up over the fact that some countries have free college
football, hockey, tennis & other sports. anything else that catches my fancy.
If this Chicharito thing is true, my breakup with RM might become more permanent than expected
I’ve been kind of in neglect over this, but I’m leaving tomorrow for a tour of the north of Chile. which, I’m looking forward to it because it’s warm there and it doesn’t rain all day, but also I really don’t want to leave my life here
it’s so fucking perfect, all the people are so nice and I’m basically on the brink of being in a relationship with a guy I really really like and who’s super nice and who apparently really likes me back and I’m super happy and yea


The term philosophy comes from the Greek ‘Sophia’ meaning the love of
wisdom or knowledge.
When I think of philosophy, I am referring to the relationship between
things. What is the connection between my actions and the reason behind
them? What is the relationship between our ideas and how we chose our
How did our values form and what holds them in place?
What is the relationship between the phenomenal plane (the world, the earth
and all the ideas and values that constitute it) and of time and space and
the unmanifest aspect?
How does stuff come into existence that isn’t already here?
How does the human archetype, like familia DNA help determine who we are. .
. and what impacts human development?


Same sex marriage is here, but its effect on the future of marriage is unclear. Proponents of same-sex marriage presented their cause primarily as a matter of gay rights rather than a theory of marriage. This feature made debates over SSM often frustrating and unproductive, since SSM’s critics had a view of marriage than a view about homosexuality.
However, the success of SSM means taking stock of what marriage means now. The dominant view on the left and right is that SSM will relax further aspects of marriage such as numerosity or consanguinity. However, another view holds that SSM actually embodies a distinct, stable conception of marriage that Stephen Macedo calls “spousal equality.” Under, “spousal equality,” marriage is “the legally recognized commitment of two co-equal spouses to care for one another through all of life’s trials.” Macedo notes that this conception of marriage is uniquely suited for monogamous same-sex couples.
Is the “spousal equality” view of marriage coherent? I’d like to think it is. Here are a few reasons, taking plural marriage as an alternative:
1. Opportunity for extended, romantic partnerships. Plural marriage, unlike spousal equality, is likely inconsistent with a sufficient opportunity for an indefinite, intimate relationship, especially for men. While this form is often bad for women, its victims are also the men who are denied the opportunity for a long-term romantic partner.
2. Social stability. Insufficient opportunity for an extended romantic partnership is not only a significant harm to individual men, but it may also be socially dangerous. Societies with large numbers of unmarried, young men have often been unstable and violent (contemporary Chinese demographics bear witness to this tendency). Monogamy under the spousal equality model appears to be in the interests of long-term social stability.
3. Sexual equality. Proponents of plural marriage restrict their defense to “sex-equal” plural marriage. While it may be true that historically polygyny (many wives) has been far more widespread than polyandry (many husbands), that in no way denies the desirability of a plural marriage institution where both men and women can have multiple wives and husbands. Almost every society with plural marriage takes a predominantly polygynous form. The foreseeable consequence of legalizing plural marriage is that polygyny will dominate polyandry: the foreseeable effect of legalizing plural marriage is the sexual subordination of women, not the sexual equality of women. Even if the likely sexual inequality accompanying polygamy is “only contingent,” it is still a truth about plural marriage.
4. Rules vs. cases. Chris Freiman notes that many of the worries about plural marriage do not work as reasons to deny particular people the right to get married. For example, even if we have reason to believe that children of a particular couple would grow up under dysfunctional circumstances, that is not a good reason to deny a marriage to a couple. I think these examples elide an important distinction between rules and cases. For example, it seems unfair to deny a license on an ad hoc basis to this couple (why? because our judgments are generally unreliable about particular cases? but what if we were really sure?). But if their license is denied on the basis of a rule–e.g. a brother and sister from the Smith family want to get married–the concern appears to disappear. The relevant question isn’t whether particular cases of plural marriage would be workable or desirable, but whether a rule permitting plural marriage would lead to good results.
This is all not to say that spousal equality is an appropriate conception of marriage for all future time. Rather, it presents a stable and desirable equilibrium for the foreseeable future. We should be open to alternatives and assess their benefits and costs in proportion to the evidence.


no ...met them at their family reunion , my now wife just got legally separated from her ex of ten years. , moved upstate from where she was living ( 200 miles ) Her brother punched me in the gut , her sister told me she didn't want to know my name as I was a rebound with no long term plans. Her oldest brother asked what my intentions were. And I had to chat with her spooky dad he was a kin to Vito Corleone ffs. It gets worse but I'll leave this as is for now.


This feels much more intense and pleasurable for him, and it’s more fun for her to do, when he hasn’t ejaculated for many days.
With femdom she is going to deny him a climax. Denying him ejaculation has her enjoying her dominance and he enjoys feeling under her power. The dominance/submission dynamic can be so strong that it can distract from the pleasure of the playing.
With Devotional Sex it is the Knight who has committed to not ejaculating most times he gets hard. If he usually last for say 7 days, and this is day 5, then his Princess won’t even be thinking of the possibility of having him ejaculate. For her it is now just normal that this will end when she feels she has done enough and it ends without him ejaculating.
So she doesn’t feel that she is denying him.
She is though very much enjoying his energy and giving him pleasure. This isn’t teasing him, it is pleasing him.
She does feel very much in control. Especially when he is this aroused he will eagerly do anything she asks. And she can tell that just now he feels very hers because he has no idea when this will end and what, if anything might follow.
But even though he is hers, she doesn’t feel dominant. Him being her Knight and her having control has been the enabler for this play. And as domination/submission is not a major factor, both are free to fully appreciate the erotic energy and the giving and receiving of pleasure.
Of course there is nothing wrong with those who enjoy tease and denial with a strong dose of domination and submission. BDSM is a wonderful world for some.
But for those who are not into BDSM, and especially with couples where the woman isn’t naturally dominant or bossy, Devotional Sex provides another way of enjoying the fun and pleasures of sex

Marriage, family, and kinship are interconnected yet separate concepts. Marriage is the societal mechanism that formally recognizes the bond between a man and a woman as husband and wife. It typically serves as the foundation for the establishment of a family. Kinship, on the other hand, represents the social connections formed on the basis of familial ties. Each of these three elements is present across all societies. While their fundamental essence is universally recognized, the importance ascribed to them and the specific norms surrounding them differ among societies and communities.

Answer: Consanguineous kinship refers to the relationship based on common blood, such as between siblings or parents and children. Affinal kinship, on the other hand, refers to the relationship based on marriage, such as between spouses or in-laws. In other words, consanguineous kinship is based on biological ties, while affinal kinship is based on social ties.
Essay type questions
1. Explain the different ways of acquiring mates among the tribal communities.
Answer: There are various ways of acquiring mates found in different tribal societies. One common form is marriage by negotiation, which involves a long procedure and the involvement of parents and elders of both the boy and girl. Another type is marriage by probation, where a man is allowed to live with the woman at her parents’ house for a specific period of time. If they can adjust to each other during this period, they marry, but if not, they separate and the man has to pay compensation to the woman’s parents. Marriage by capture is another type, where a man marries a woman forcibly, either through physical capture or ceremonial capture. Marriage by trial requires a man to show his prowess and courage by braving obstacles thrown in his way. Marriage by purchase takes place when the parents of the bridegroom pay something in cash or kind to the parents of the bride. Marriage by service takes place when the bridegroom lives in the house of the bride before marriage and renders service or works for the family of the bride. Marriage by exchange takes place when two families exchange their son and daughter. Marriage by elopement takes place when a man and woman love each other, but parents do not easily approve of their marriage, so they elope or run away from the village. Finally, marriage by intrusion takes place when a man and woman have an intimate relationship, but the man refuses to marry the woman, so the woman takes the initiative and goes to live in the man’s house.
2. Briefly discuss marriage among the Hindus.
Answer: Marriage among the Hindus is considered a sacrament or religious bond. It is believed to be a permanent bond and a religious duty. The aims of Hindu marriage are to pursue the basic aims in life called purusharthas, which are dharma (duty), artha (possessions), kama (physical desires), and moksha (ultimate spiritual release). Marriage is necessary for fulfilling various religious obligations, such as entering the stage of grihastha or householder, fulfilling religious obligations of dharma, praja, and rati, and purifying the body. There are detailed rules and regulations regarding the choice of marriage partners, including the rules of endogamy and exogamy. The first four forms of marriage are “approved” and the other four are “not approved”. The ceremony of ‘kanyadana’ (gift of the girl by her father) makes the first four forms approved and acceptable in society.
3. Muslim marriage is a contract. Explain this statement.
Answer: Muslim marriage is considered a social and civil contract. The groom, bride, Kazi, and witnesses are the defining features of the contract. The bride and groom must give their voluntary consent to the marriage in the presence of the witnesses and Kazi. The marriage contract, known as Nikahnama, is sanctioned when the bride and groom agree voluntarily. The agreement about Mehr or bride-wealth, which the groom gives to the bride at the time of the marriage or later on, is also a part of the contract. As a contract, marriage can be dissolved through a prescribed procedure, making divorce possible. Therefore, Muslim marriage is considered a contract.
4. Write an essay on Muslim marriage.
Answer: Muslim marriage, also known as Nikah, is a social and civil contract among Muslims in India. It is usually performed with religious rituals, but it can be dissolved through a prescribed procedure, making divorce possible. The defining features of Nikah are the groom, the bride, the Kazi, and witnesses (two male or four female witnesses).
The bride and the groom are asked by the Kazi in the presence of the witnesses about their voluntary consent to the marriage. When they agree voluntarily, the marriage contract is sanctioned, and this is called Nikahnama. A part of the contract is the agreement about Mehr or bride-wealth which the groom gives to the bride at the time of the marriage or later on.
There are many social customs observed at the time of marriage, and Muslims share such customs with the Hindus in a particular region. A Muslim man can marry up to four wives, but such polygyny is rare because the man is required to treat all his wives equally. Hence, in practice, most Muslim marriages are monogamous.
There are two types of marriages: regular (Sahi) and irregular (Fasid). Irregular marriages occur in such cases as the absence of witnesses, like the fifth marriage of a man, differences in religion, marrying a woman undergoing Iddad, and marrying during pilgrimage. Irregular marriages can be made regular.
5. Write an essay on Christian marriage in India.
Answer: Christianity considers marriage as not only a social contract but also a sacrament. Marriage is considered sacred among all Christians, but some Christian denominations permit divorce. Monogamy is the general norm among all Christians, and widow remarriage is permitted.
For a valid Christian marriage, certain conditions must be fulfilled. Marriage partners must be adults and capable of contracting marriage. The choice of partners may be done by the parents or elders, but the consent of the boy and the girl is essential. The following procedure is usually followed:
- Production of a character certificate followed by the engagement when the boy and the girl declare their intention to marry.
- Submitting an application to the church pastor or priest three weeks before the date of marriage.
- The priest or pastor makes an announcement about the proposed marriage and invites objections. This is known as reading of the banns. If there are no objections, the date of marriage is fixed.
- At the time fixed for the marriage, the actual ceremony takes place in the church in the presence of the people and two witnesses. The priest or pastor asks the bridegroom and the bride to declare their consent and to exchange their marriage vows to be faithful to each other. Usually, wedding rings, symbol of the married status are exchanged after this.
The priest or the pastor acts as the Registrar of Marriage according to the provisions of Indian Christian Marriage Act of 1872. He also records the marriage in the Register of Marriages maintained in the church.

6. Name any two structural features of a joint family. What are the factors that are now leading to the break up of the joint family system?
Answer: Two structural features of a joint family are common residence and kitchen, and large size due to the depth of generations. Factors leading to the break up of the joint family system include differential earnings of brothers generating tensions in the household, disinclination of sons and their wives to share responsibilities, growth of individualism, and the development of the secondary and tertiary sectors in the Indian economy. Additionally, there have been functional changes in the joint family, such as changes in wife-husband relations and parent-children relationships, which have contributed to the break up of the joint family system.
7. What is a joint family? Explain any three functional elements of a joint family system in India.
Answer: A joint family is a group of people who generally live under one roof, eat food cooked at one hearth, hold property in common, participate in common family worship and are related to each other as some kind of kindred. The three functional elements of the joint family system in India are:
- Common rituals and ceremonies, in accordance with caste norms and religious obligations.
- Role of Karta, who is usually the eldest male and exercises authority.
- Mutual obligations among the members which bind them with reciprocal relationships.
The joint family has been the cultural norm and ideal pattern of family life in Indian society. It has been one of the pillars of Indian society along with the caste system and the village community. However, there have been changes in the joint family due to factors such as differential earnings of brothers, disinclination of the sons and their wives to share responsibilities, growth of individualism, and the development of the secondary and the tertiary sectors in the Indian economy. These changes have led to the breakup of the joint family into smaller nuclear households.
8. Write a short note on changes in the joint family.
Answer: The joint family system in India has undergone significant changes in modern times. Some of the structural changes include the break-up of joint families into smaller nuclear households due to differential earnings of brothers, disinclination of sons and their wives to share responsibilities, growth of individualism, and the development of the secondary and tertiary sectors in the Indian economy.
Functional changes in the joint family are observed in the areas of wife-husband relations, parent-children relationships, and relationships between daughter-in-law and parents-in-law due to the changing role and status of women.
At present, the joint family as a cultural norm and ideal is generally accepted, but the nuclear family is becoming popular among some classes, particularly the urban middle and professional classes. These classes have accepted the small family norm, and their families are small in size and economically stable because often both parents are employed.
9. Explain four factors leading to the disintegration of the joint family in India.
Answer: Four factors leading to the disintegration of the joint family in India are:
- Differential earnings of brothers generating tensions in the household
- Disinclination of the sons and their wives to share responsibilities
- Growth of individualism
- Development of the secondary and tertiary sectors in the Indian economy
These factors have led to structural changes in the joint family, such as its break up into smaller nuclear households, and functional changes, such as changes in wife-husband and parent-children relationships. While the joint family is still generally accepted as a cultural norm and ideal, the nuclear family is becoming more popular among urban middle and professional classes.
10. What is kinship? Discuss the functions of Kinship in Indian society.
Answer: Kinship refers to social relationships based on blood, marriage, or adoption. In Indian society, kinship plays an important role in shaping social relationships beyond the family. The functions of kinship in Indian society include:
- Transmission of status and property: Kinship provides a way for transmitting status and property from one generation to the next. This is the area of descent which traces relationships through succeeding generations.
- Economic support: Kinship provides economic support to its members. In joint families, members pool their resources and work together to support each other.
- Socialization: Kinship plays an important role in socializing children. Children learn about their roles and responsibilities within the family and society through kinship relationships.
- Emotional support: Kinship provides emotional support to its members. Family members provide each other with love, care, and emotional support during times of need.
- Identity formation: Kinship helps in the formation of individual and group identities. People identify themselves and others based on their kinship relationships.
11. Define joint family. Explain the structural and functional changes of a joint family.
Answer: A joint family is a group of people who generally live under one roof, eat food cooked at one hearth, hold property in common, participate in common family worship and are related to each other as some kind of kindred. The joint family has been the cultural norm and ideal pattern of family life in Indian society.
Structural changes in the joint family are seen in its break up into smaller nuclear households. This is due to various factors such as differential earnings of brothers generating tensions in the household, disinclination of the sons and their wives to share responsibilities, growth of individualism, and the development of the secondary and the tertiary sectors in the Indian economy.
Functional changes in the joint family are observed in the following areas:
- Wife-husband relations, with the wife playing a more active role, often at par with the husband.
- Parent-children relationships that give importance to children.
- Relationships between daughter-in-law and parents-in-law because of the changing role and status of women.
12. Discuss the North Indian and South Indian kinship system in India.
Answer: The North Indian and South Indian kinship systems in India have significant differences in marriage rules, succession, and inheritance. In North India, the basic kinship group consists of Kula, Gotra, and Jati. Kula and Gotra are exogamous units, while Jati is endogamous. There is also village exogamy, resulting in a significant distance between the bride and the groom. On the other hand, in South India, there are both patrilineal and matrilineal communities, and marriage alliances are within a known circle. There are also preferred marriages like cross-cousin marriages and uncle-niece marriages. The bride is familiar with the family into which she is married, and thus, a marriage alliance strengthens existing kinship bonds.
Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and Problem Solving Assessment (PSA)
1. In the Naga society marriage is increasingly becoming expensive and time consuming. Suggest measures to perform holy matrimonial without involving worldly materials and time wastage.
Answer: Marriage is indeed a significant event in any culture, including the Naga society. It is a time of joy and celebration but can often become complex and expensive due to various cultural practices and societal expectations. If the focus is to make it less materialistic and time-consuming, here are a few suggestions:
Simplify the ceremony: A simple ceremony with just close family and friends can be just as meaningful, if not more so, than a large and lavish event. In fact, a smaller event may allow for more personal and heartfelt moments.
Redefine gift giving: Instead of expensive gifts or a dowry, encourage guests to contribute in other ways. This could be their time, skills, or even their presence. For example, a friend who’s good at photography could offer to take wedding pictures, or a family member who’s a good cook could help with the wedding meal.
Promote community involvement: Involve the community in the planning and execution of the wedding. This not only reduces costs but also strengthens communal bonds. For instance, community members could contribute by decorating the venue, preparing food, or providing music.
Shift focus to the marriage, not the wedding: Emphasize the importance of the marriage itself—the lifelong commitment between two individuals—rather than the wedding. This can help shift the focus away from material aspects and towards the spiritual and emotional components.
Educate the community: Changing long-standing cultural practices and expectations can be challenging. Therefore, it is essential to educate the community about the reasons for these changes and their potential benefits. Workshops, seminars, and discussions can be organized to promote this understanding.
Spiritual Emphasis: Refocus the event on spiritual aspects, prayers, and blessings, rather than material consumption. This emphasis can provide a profound and personal aspect to the ceremony that is more in line with the idea of a ‘holy matrimonial’.
2. Criminals often go scot free in Nagaland due to kin interferences against existing formal laws. How should the society act in the Naga context? Why.
Answer: Kin interference in the justice system is a serious problem in Nagaland. It can lead to criminals going unpunished, which can create a sense of impunity and undermine the rule of law. There are a number of reasons why kin interference occurs in Nagaland. One reason is that Naga society is traditionally based on clan and village ties. These ties can be very strong, and they can lead people to feel a sense of obligation to protect their kin, even if they have committed crimes. Another reason for kin interference is that Nagas have a strong cultural belief in forgiveness. This belief can make it difficult for people to believe that criminals should be punished, even if they have committed serious crimes.
There are a number of things that can be done to address the problem of kin interference in the justice system in Nagaland. One important step is to educate people about the importance of the rule of law. People need to understand that the law applies to everyone, regardless of their family ties. Another important step is to strengthen the justice system. This can be done by providing more resources to the police and the courts, and by ensuring that the justice system is fair and impartial. Finally, it is important to work to change the cultural attitudes that contribute to kin interference. This can be done through education and awareness-raising campaigns.
Extra/additional questions and answers
1. Define marriage, family, and kinship and explain how they are interrelated.
Answer: Marriage, family, and kinship are all interrelated social constructs that are universally recognized. Marriage is the social institution that sanctions the relationship of a man and a woman as husband and wife. It is generally the foundation on which the family is built. Family, in this context, refers to the group of individuals linked by the bonds of marriage. Kinship, on the other hand, is the social relationship based on family relatedness. The interrelation lies in the way these three institutions work together to form social bonds and establish societal norms. Marriage leads to the creation of families, and families share kinship ties based on their shared ancestry or marriage.
2. How is the institution of marriage perceived in tribal societies?
Answer: In tribal societies, marriage is seen as a social contract for sexual pleasure, the production of children, and mutual cooperation. The institution of marriage is prevalent in all tribal societies, with well-defined rules and procedures concerning different aspects of marriage. However, the practices and norms related to marriage may vary greatly among different tribes due to the diversity in tribal communities.
3. What are some general features of marriage in tribal societies?
Answer: There are several characteristic features of marriage in tribal societies. Primarily, it is viewed as a social contract aimed at sexual pleasure, production of children, and mutual cooperation. If these aims are not met, divorce is typically allowed. Most tribes enforce marital fidelity, but some permit pre-marital and extra-marital relations on festive occasions. In terms of marriage forms, most tribes follow monogamy, though some accept polygyny and others accept polyandry. Preferential marriages, such as cross-cousin marriages, are also observed in certain tribes like the Khasis and Gonds. Levirate and sororate marriages are also practiced in some tribes.
4. Discuss the differences in marriage norms and procedures among various tribes in India and provide examples.
Answer: There are well-defined rules and procedures about different aspects of marriage in tribal societies, but these rules differ between tribes due to the large number of tribes found in India. These variations are based on principles and norms followed by the tribes concerned. For instance:
- In terms of marriage types, most tribes follow monogamy, while some tribes like Nagas, Baigas, and Gonds accept polygyny. Some tribes like Todas and certain tribes in Arunachal Pradesh practice polyandry, both fraternal and non-fraternal.
- In the case of preferential marriages, among the Khasis and Gonds, there is a preference for cross cousin marriages or marriages between the children of a brother and a sister.
- Levirate and sororate are also examples of variations in marriage practices. In levirate, a woman marries the younger brother of her dead husband, whereas, in sororate, a man marries his wife’s sister after his wife’s death.
These differences highlight the cultural diversity and variations in the institution of marriage among tribal societies in India.
5. What are some types of preferential marriages observed in tribal societies? Give examples.
Answer: Preferential marriages, or preferences in mate selection, vary across tribal societies. A common form of preferential marriage is cross cousin marriage, observed among tribes like the Khasis and Gonds. This is a marriage between the children of a brother and a sister. Other forms of preferential marriages include levirate and sororate. In levirate marriage, a woman marries the younger brother of her deceased husband. In sororate marriage, a man marries his deceased wife’s sister. These practices ensure the continuity of social and familial bonds even in the event of a spouse’s death.
66. Can you explain the distinction between exogamous and endogamous kinship units, providing examples from North India?
Answer: Exogamous kinship units are those in which marriages occur outside the group. In North India, Kula and Gotra are exogamous units, meaning individuals are expected to marry outside their own Kula or Gotra. On the other hand, endogamous units are those in which marriages occur within the group. In the same region, Jati is an endogamous unit, where individuals are usually expected to marry within their own Jati. These rules of exogamy and endogamy play a significant role in structuring society and maintaining social order.

Why did you say that? Why? I know you didn’t mean to and I know it was for fun and I know what you were trying to say but it rubs me the wrong way.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
Do I? Tell me, go on. Tell me, do I have a boyfriend? Do I, in this fucking town that only cares for physical appearance and shits on girls like me, have a boyfriend?
Have you not looked at me? I’m fat, I’m ugly, my hair is short, I don’t wear makeup. Do you think any of them would want me? Any guys here that would truly like me? For myself? That would be willing to look past my face and body enough to be attracted to me?
There are no guys like Finn. Not here. Maybe nowhere.
Maybe I should just accept I’m going to be single forever. That nobody will love this body, this mind. That nobody will look upon me and feel glad and feel love. At least not romantically.
How could you ask me that?

When your ex talks with regards to their foreseeable future along with you in it, then this is a sign which they have been serious about reconciliation. This means your ex even now imagines their foreseeable future with you in it. Your ex expects you to acquire back together with them within the around potential.
Hello Kevin Me and my ex broke up originally of November. I dumped him for what I now deem to get stupid factors. Anyway we didn’t really talk appropriately for per month or so even so considering the fact that February I’ve been eager to get back with him we had a chat and he reported he was indignant with me and didn’t like me very much but that he favored me additional that thirty day period than he did the previous. We communicate roughly every day and he’s reported he doesn’t Assume we should always get back jointly thanks to how properly our partnership turned out past time, nonetheless he even now jokes about with me in community, he states slightly indicate issues to me but in a playful flirtatious way, and my mates say when I’m not investigating him he presents me that glance, you understand the 1 you see a guy supplying the Lady in a movie but it’s often when she’s not searching.
I didn’t flip out but proceeded in my mind to connect with her a myriad of dumb asses and even more. I really feel I wasted my time coming back into a feminine who doesn’t value anything. I did The entire new apparel detail 7 working day no Get hold of and removed the tension started hanging out then talked to her and per week afterwards considered I’d go back to staying satisfied…. Screw this I would like a real lady
one) I’ll do the LC by only responding when he contacts me, I will not Get in touch with him (appropriate?). 2) I’ll continue caring for myself And that i won’t Close friend him on FB yet (Indeed, he “understood” I had been moving on simply because he visits my wall and even now likes something general public). 3) I’ll give myself a limit of three months. -Please let me know if this flies. Thanks so much for the help (it is large!)
two. Use the power of texting – for those who and your ex don’t communicate, texting is probably the last word way to get your ex back in your arms.
The point is, there is actually very little you are able to do to help her if she has despair. You're not a health care Skilled and you also do not know how that will help anyone with melancholy.
Does one really want them back or will you be in enjoy with the idea of them but glossing above the gritty areas of the true romance?
Many thanks Kevin. I have an understanding of, and is particularly unpleasant for me. I’ve long gone on dates, but I’m nowhere in the vicinity of transferring on. I've strong inner thoughts for him, and naturally I would want to get him back, but not by turning into a doormat. I only wished him the ideal to get back some shed better benefit during the midst of his messages, “exhibiting him that I’m Alright With all the breakup”. Still I’m upset This really is his next rebound romantic relationship in such a brief time.
I hope this finds you undertaking effectively, and Ryan. At 6:50pm he responded Glad to hear matters are heading perfectly for yourself..
The pattern may very well be delicate however , you can listen to matters throughout the grapevine too. A latest ex who wants to create the go forward you will not play it this meek. A man who is about you might move ahead to entirely new social circles. A damaged-hearted ex will, however, circle on the periphery and make appearances that could (with any luck ,) carry you into the picture. A broken-hearted person wants to generate meetings that seem like prospect or coincidence. They in no way really are, however. But go together with it in case you visualize a hope for your passionate reunion with him. If he is putting up with your family and friends, he is ready to set up along with you!
And I wrote back the exact same moment which i can bring her prescription drugs now. Then everything happened – she instructed me that I shouldn’t have any hopes around our partnership, it’s over and he or she needs me the ideal Which being separated is healthier for both of us and we will see our real appreciate. So it really is unhappy, not normally principles perform. But all through NC rule I felt truly great, Though every thing I did was for her, but it was new things etcetera.
Again, It's important to be mindful click here to not go click here overboard and act needy and desperate at any time (Go through: It’s essential owning the appropriate state of mind soon after no Get hold of).

By intentional arrangement and radical transformation through refiring of commercially made ceramic dinnerware, I am investigating relationships through visual metaphors, evoking emotional memory, and looking at social interactions between objects and people. The arrangement of vessels and plates are emblematically speaking to different personalities and dynamics of family relationships through their precarious nature and sense of failure. I have chosen ceramic dishware for its specific material qualities and its direct correlation to family life within a domestic setting. These objects have been discarded from a domestic interior and are ‘rejects’ from their previous owner’s past, but their ordinariness and banality enhance their familiarity enabling one’s ability to construct a memory. Alon Confino, a cultural historian, writes, “memory is everywhere: we reconstruct a sense of the past from the most trivial, every-day life object.” By over firing the ceramic dishware, the objects go through an irreversible transformation leaving each object formally warped, distorted, and in a state of dysfunction that is a metaphor for human interaction and relationships.


The story of how we met – wait – how do YOU think we met? Register for the website and comment below!
Vickie and John met on a sky diving trip. It wasn’t until they were up in there that John remembered he is afraid of heights. Vickie, who realized she doesn’t like heights herself, saw John in the back of the plane crying, and she comforted him and then pushed him out of the plane. When they both landed safely, John was so relieved, he proposed to Vickie right on the spot.
Vickie was out recruiting for her Kiwanis club. She went into a West Marine, thinking it was a military supply story, and thinking she could find some cute marines to recruit into Kiwanis. Unfortunately, she did not find any marines, but instead she found a cute manager that she figured she’d date until she could recruit him into Kiwanis.
John and Vickie were the victims of a set up. For years, Vickie’s high school friend, Amy, and John’s friend since birth, James, tried to set them up. The timing was never quite right and they never really got to get to know each other. Luckily, they got to spend time together and get to know each other a little bit as part of Amy and James’ wedding party. They talked a lot at the wedding rehearsal and waiting for pictures at the wedding, and a few months later John messaged Vickie on Facebook and the two haven’t gone a day without talking since then.


so like the only thing I care about is Naomi and Emily. Like guys they’ve been together for so fucking long their love is fucking golden. And then of course death has to ruin shit.
*shakes my fist at the sky*
I bathed in a river of my own eye sweat.


As some of you know, KJ is not the most outgoing person in the world, especially when it comes to someone taking photos of him. I tried to make him feel "in his element" for or first engagement session. KJ was in the Army, and something we enjoy doing together is shooting, I know some people have their opinions on guns, and you are entitled to it, but we have our opinions too, and we are entitled to it.
(Ummm how killer is this photo. ^^^^)
This is one of my FAVORITE shots.
This photo pretty much sums up our relationship.

Hi! My name is Mrs RLL, or The Mrs.
I am a 38 y.o. married to a 49 y.o. … both in our first marriage. I am also a 15 -year veteran counselor and marriage educator. Odd combo, huh? I figured it was just God’s sense of humor. I love doing marriage sessions, workshops, training, etc, but until 2008 I had never met any one I wanted to live with for the rest of my life.
My Mr and I always viewed our relationship as a journey, an adventure. We believe that every circumstance is simply a part of our adventure story that is continuously evolving and requiring us to make choices to honor each other and the goals for our home.
Because I am a marriage educator, I would love if there is something you can learn from the story I share. However, I will not bring you lessons about 5 points of good communication or 10 ways to reconnect with your spouse. There are plenty of wonderful blogs already teaching those great topics (For example, visit the-generous-husband, the-generous-wife, or The Marry Blogger).
Instead, I hope to reflect on how all those marriages lessons I’ve taught are impacting my heart and my marriage relationship, whether we get it right or not. I will attempt to walk a fine line between being respectful of our marriage and being truly honest about the transition from total independence to a life seeking to be “one” with another.
I hope you’ll join us for the adventure!

Relationships are a fundamental building block of human life. We are born into a relationship and we grow and develop through our relationships. As 7-centered humans we have entered into relationships for a variety of reasons: to meet physical needs, for emotional support, to find a companion to our daily living, to have someone to discuss ideas, someone to share our personal growth with, to have someone to love, to develop trust that deepens over time, and for a sense of security, i.e. for survival.
At a mechanical level, any time another person enters our aura, we are in a mutual condition of relating. We take in our experience of the other through our openness. How we take them in is shaped by our definition, but it is in our openness that we experience what we are not. Starting with our very first experiences of relating, the mind begins to interpret our openness: the mind turns it into a story of what is broken, missing, or needs to be compensated for, overcome or fulfilled by others. Instead of seeing the conditioning patterns with awareness, we spend a lifetime looking for relationships to fix what was never broken.
Relationships in the not-self world are often a self-fulfilling prophecy of our conditioned self – or an attempt to compensate for or overcome our internal image of our conditioned self. This is compounded by the other person in the relationship engaged in their own self-fulfilling prophecy or attempts to compensate. Most relationships are conditioned selves living out their conditioning – and finding the perfect person to reinforce and activate conditioning patterns. When we begin to unravel our conditioned patterns of relationships, we begin to discover that relating has been taking place all along – but without our conscious awareness.
As we move deeper into our experience as 9-centered beings living our uniqueness, we become more and more aware of living our unique frequency; realizing what it is to be alive here and now in our unique vehicle of body/mind, to be the passenger aware of life as an experience. As we move deeper into our experiment, how we relate with the other begins to shift as well. If we are whole and complete as we are, then what is relating? And how does our relating shift from mutual conditioning and compensation to two individuals relating?

In this course, we will help you explore your relating mechanics. How do you take in the other? What are the tendencies that your conditioning tends to seek out in the other? What kind of internalized conditioning stories are you identified with? Does your relating reinforce this identification? How do you relate as your true self? What is your experience of relating?

Discover the unbelievable lifetime
power of a first kiss…
Kara Gilbert held a crush on Greg Sheppard that grew from her first glimpse and throughout their last year of primary school. With mustered courage, she initiated their first kiss and despite never a word before, or after, being spoken, both felt the moment. Unbeknown to her, and since this kiss, Greg had searched for her until, 35 years later, he found her…
Kara’s now divorced and having escaped an abusive marriage, re-established her life alone. A chance meeting with Greg, poised on the brink of marrying a woman he adores, Tess Merchant, was it to be an intended “once off” casual encounter. What starts as a mere infatuation and curiosity, develops into an aspiring and intimate connection with overwhelming desires for sexual exploration engulfing them. Greg is torn between Tess,
and the raw, open, adventurous sexual appetite he has ignited in his relationship with his lost love Kara.
How will Kara, Greg and Tess find the life they desire?
Kara Ignition is based on an authentic story that flames this trilogy of books which describes in explicit detail the polyamorous relationships, erotic pleasure, and love affairs most people only dare to indulge...
This book contains explicit prose that may arouse readers. Read with pleasure.
“A read hotter than Fifty Shades…Loved the character of Kara and the sexting was exceptional… great read and looking forward to the next parts of this trilogy…5 stars.” Cathy, Indie Books Reviewer.
“I LOVE, I cannot be clear enough, LOVE the sensitive and emotional way the author has portrayed passionate polyamorous relationships and complicated love affairs in all of their conflict and generosity.” McKinley Hellenes, Author.
RJ Horne is a refreshing new author in this realm of erotic literature and adult romance. A South Australian researcher and experienced writer, the style and stories of R.J’s first novels are based on true life encounters, and are riveting and unique. R.J writes for the pleasure of others, reminds us to indulge our fantasies whenever possible and that sex, love and intimacy are forever important parts of our lives and relationships.
After having experienced the ignition of finding a long lost first love when approaching ‘middle age,’ and a subsequent interest to observe and note the largely ignored passions and sexual challenges of mature adults, RJ Horne found that people’s stories kept ‘bumping in.’ Thus, the passionate desire to write and share stories about people; their lives, loves and complex relationships which were mostly untold, became overwhelming.
As such these intoxicating stories were born…


There are a lot of great movie kisses and there are a lot of lists that tell you which ones are the good ones. And this one probably doesn't rate on anyone else's list...but it's my favorite.
It's from the movie, Penelope.
This movie is a cute little romance that I enjoyed a lot more than I thought I would.
If you've never seen it, it's about a wealthy young woman (Penelope, played by Christina Ricci) who is born with a pig nose. The curse on her family says that it can be lifted if she is loved by "one of her own"--her mother thinks this means she has to marry a man of noble birth and stages elaborate meetings hoping to find one that doesn't run screaming when he sees the pig-girl.
Along the way there is a case of mistaken identity involving a poor piano-player, Johnny (played by James McAvoy), who falls in love with Penelope but leaves when he realizes she needs someone of noble birth.
The curse is eventually lifted, Penelope discovers that Johnny is not who they thought he was, and she goes to find him.
While she's talking, Johnny starts to suspect that she is the real Penelope, the girl he fell in love with but thought he couldn't have. And when he realizes that it really is her, he can't help himself, he just has to kiss her. I love the moment when he grabs her arm and goes for it. It's so sweet and passionate. Plus James McAvoy is a hottie.
I hope you enjoyed this detour, what's your favorite movie kiss?

"A good relationship is when two people accept each other’s past, support each other’s present, and love each other enough to encourage each other’s future. So don’t rush love. Find a partner who encourages you to grow, who won’t cling to you, who will let you go out into the world, and trust that you will come back. This is what true love is all about."


I'm sitting in my office, surfing the internet blindly, listening to J read a story with his home-teacher in the next room, the kitchen. The two each read sections, and at the end of the story will discuss themes, plot, character, the usual. At one point in the tale, a son leaves his mother to serve in the Civil War. The two share a brief conversation and then the son says his goodbye, marching off. J interrupts and comments, "His mom didn't say she loved him. That sucks."
I smile to myself. I suppose some habits are a good thing. Telling those you love, that in fact, you do love them, is a good thing.
