Choosing Anniversary Flowers
When we think of an anniversary flower, the first thing that comes to mind is the rose. Unless the
one you love has a preference for their own special flower, the rose is traditionally the sign of
love.

Friends are Funny Creatures
Anyone who has crossed over would agree to that. It’s like when we cross over even the most insignificant things start niggling us. A small comment or a lame joke usually end up in the unchartered territory. And we usually don’t want to mention that we were offended by something that didn’t feel right to us. You see all the perceptions about grown-ups ‘discussing’ their problems are a farce. We don’t ‘discuss’ anything heavier than the weather.

One Handed Knot
A relationship can not be properly built and nurtured with only one “hand”, one person. In order for a relationship to work with optimal success, there must be frequent and sufficient help and input. There must be honest non-critical and loving feedback on a continual basis.

Encourage Your Spouse and Build a Relationship That Lasts
It seems that in our society it has come to be expected that women will
get together and criticize their husbands and boyfriends and men will
get together and put down their wives and girlfriends. Everyone has to
have a few sarcastic comments to fling at their partner, especially
when there is an audience around to laugh at their expense. We tend to
tear down the very person we claim to love. I think it has become so
common in our society that sometimes people don’t even realize they are
doing it.

Sacred Love Growing through Challenges; Part 1
All emotion is only half the truth, an illusion; a complete lie. Life is balanced, we distort it by projecting out opinion onto it. We interpret it with our ego and spin it left or right and therefore emotionalise it. By emotionalising things, we can make it safe. And from a love aspect, then we see where we are – out of integrity – and could bring our ego back to balance, if we chose to.

Yours, Mine, and Our Emotional Needs - The Marriage Makers and Breakers
A common theme in my articles, on my website, and in my coaching practice is on needs. For our purposes we define a need as a condition requiring relief. There are quite obviously many needs that you meet on a daily basis. Hunger may be one of the first things to come to mind when we think of needs, however, this is more of a physical need and we want to focus on our emotional needs!
