We all know the allure of natural diamonds. We even have old clichés like “diamond are a girl’s best friend”. It has been many centuries since the first diamonds were used in wedding rings but since that time diamonds have always symbolized eternal love.

In marriage, it is important that we know the importance, needs, and role of each other. In this topic, we will talk about woman. Women have a great capacity for love – in giving and receiving it. To explain it more, when a woman prepares a meal, her love mingles with the food. When a mother rises for the two o’clock feeding, she does it with love. When she frosts a birthday cake, love shines through her eyes. A woman’s capacity to love can draw the very best from a man… it can make him feel wanted, needed, important, and great. The way she patiently wait for him to arrive from a whole day work symbolizes her love. When his nerves and spirit are shattered and exhausted, her loves can comfort him.

From the crib to the grave we all reach out for someone to love us, someone to accept us, and for someone we can love and accept. We want to feel that we belong and we matter to the people who are dear to us. The truth is… love is necessary for survival. Without it we lose the will to live. We don’t know why we are here. We feel helpless, worthless and lost. Some commit suicide for the lack of love, some even undergo divorce and annulment in order to begin their search for love again. While others slipped beyond the line of sanity for lack of affection. When we love, we glow with a radiance that affects us physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually. Almost in all aspects, we are affected. The world suddenly... [more]

Is there such word as perfect marriage? I think there is none…as there is no such thing as perfect relationship. No matter what kind of relationship you have. Surely, there will always be fights, misunderstanding and differences. But with love for each other, respect and faith in God, married couples can work out with their differences and make a successful marriage. Many couples fall in love, marry, start their own family and assume that everything else will work out automatically. Little that they know, that a successful marriage does not come spontaneously or by chance. Plato used a ladder to illustrate growth of relationship by married couples. The two sides of t he ladder represent the man and the woman. Every... [more]

It all started when a man and a woman promise to cherish one another, in the eyes of their friends and families, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, as God as their witness…till death do them apart. Very much prepared from their invitations, dress, make up, bouquet, arrangement of flowers, church, reception, souvenirs, pictures or video coverage…even the honeymoon hotel. After the wedding ceremony, the guest will go home with their souvenirs. The wedded couple will go on with their honeymoon. Finish. But it is not as simple as that. Their lives begin after the ceremony ends. The question is, are they prepared for the life ahead? Can they keep their promise to be faithful to each other? Will they... [more]
