Planning your marriage is not just about planning your wedding day and your honeymoon. It is much more than that. It’s about planning your NEW life together.

So many of us go through life on a wing and a prayer, without direction or focus and wonder how come we never get to where we wanted to go. It’s because we are unclear – and never really take the time to get really focussed, plan out and visualize what we really, really want our lives to be like.

I know from personal experience I tend to let my extended family side-track me on certain things, and then I sometimes don’t get accomplished in a day what I set out to do. Familiar?

If this sounds like you, then you’re going to love what I want you to check out!  This ‘something’  has the power to change your life and really make your dreams happen.

Marriage is something you really need to plan, and with much more gusto and enthusiasm than just throwing the biggest party of your life.   You don’t want one single day to be the only hi-lite in your life, do you … don’t you want more? The home, the kids, the cars, the fun, the doing things together- the vacations … and  ….

How about being so excited about finding out what each new day together brings that you can’t wait to jump out of bed in the morning kind of feeling?  That’s what I’m talking about!

Of course you want that kind of an exciting a life! But how to go about it and engage the enthusiasm of your partner … and later your kids ?   I wish I would have thought of this but go take a look at it, try it out … and post me back on what you think and how it works for you.

So far the reviews have been nothing short of stunning …. This is the absolute coolest video life creation tool I’ve EVER seen…

With so much stress in everyone’s lives these days it’s no wonder the vast majority of people are complaining of reduced libido or even a total lack of interest in sexual intimacy.

The stats are staggering.  But happily there are a few foods that boost your libido fast. And they’re extremely tasty too!

So before you go off and buy a bunch of supplements that interact with your hormones, grab your plate and load up on the following foods:

Oysters – yup that old wives’ tale isn’t a tall tale – oysters are loaded with zinc. In several recent studies, low testosterone levels were linked to low levels of zinc.  After zinc was supplemented, testosterone levels  almost doubled.  Zinc also promotes healing and lessens fatigue by reducing lactic acid build up in muscle tissues. Hurrah for oysters!

Celery? Surprisingly, yes! Maybe we should take a cue from this veggie’s crispness? Apparently it contains androsterone a hormone important in reinforcing the libido.

Grab a chunk of good ole’ “chocolate”. Long touted as an aphrodisiac in days gone by. In spite of the hoopla cocoa contains many compounds that improve mood, relieves negative emotions, including a compound that replaces dopamine – the neurotransmitter associated with euphoria and sexual pleasure. Yay cocoa!

What better food to pair with chocolate than “strawberries”? No joke! Besides their striking red color strawberries are loaded with several vitamins and minerals, including 18 amino acids and a couple of mood enhancers like tryptophan and phenylalanine as well as a few other things that are important to health. OK, and of course most people find the color red sexy too!

And what better way to relax after or start with – a hot cup of java! Caffeine is a stimulant! Course there are other stimulants out there, but who can resist a hot steaming cup of strong coffee with a hint of chocolate?

These foods are generally easy to get at your local supermarket and pack a whole lot of stress busting feel good.

Cheers,
Ange

It’s your Wedding, thoughts of “romance, lingerie and lace” fill your waking moments.  If you’re like most brides you’ll often spend more on special lingerie for your honeymoon and wedding day, but thinking about anything past those dates tends to slip our minds completely.

Don’t let the romance and spice slack off after the honeymoon make it last a lifetime!

Look you and I both know that those ‘ole cotton stand-by’s just don’t cut it.  And there is no better time than right  now for you to think ahead to jazz up the romance with some special lingerie after the big day and your honeymoon.  So, let’s get into helping figure out what’s needed for your perfect lingerie collection.

8 Tips To Help You Create That Perfect Lingerie Collection

(and keep your marriage rocking…)

1. Believe it or not, a sports bra is a must!  It’s cute, it’s comfortable and will allow you to take in tai chi, yoga, jogging, palades, biking, hiking  or even extreme sports.
2. Don’t forget to show off that bosom of yours!  A great push-up bra is essential for an evening out or for anytime you want some extra special attention.  Don’t forget the matching panty, boy short or thongs! (Click the pic to view more)
3. Also a definite must is a seamless, strapless bra for those strapless gowns, summer-time sun dresses or for that ultra chic cocktail dress!
4. Girls, those panty-lines are out.  Choose boy shorts or a sexy thong instead, making sure to have at least 3 to match each bra.
5. Maybe that cotton shirt or that old flannel nightie is ultra comfy – but not if your object is for a little romance (and of course you don’t want to appear like a Grandma Jones, do you?).  Make certain you have a great selection of 2 or 3 long flowing, elegant lounge wear style night gowns and a matching throw.
6. Don’t forget at least 2 lacy teddies and baby dolls or even a Vintage Style Teddy. Why?  Ummm … have you ever noticed that every time your guy buys you something sexy – it’s lacy?  Thing he’s trying to tell you something?  Take a hint!  It’s obvious he loves it!  So get yourself a sexy, lacy set of lingerie in colors that show off your best features  By indulging in your passion you’ll also ignite his!
7. Stockings … don’t forget you’ll need a selection of sexy stockings, or maybe even a sexy body suit or two.  Great for that sleek, seamless look …. and only you will know what’s underneath!
8. For those cool winter evenings, find a large, soft, warm and snuggly throw that you can cuddle together under.  (And give him his first Christmas challenge – to see if he can find a warm AND sexy pair of PJ’s – it’s a great way to get him into the lingerie boutique and put his thinking in the right direction)

If you want your marriage to last and keep the fires going long after the honeymoon stage, you need to take matters into your own hands.  This isn’t splurging.  This is an investment in your future!

Bonus?!  Yes!  Plus size or super skinny, sexy lingerie will make you feel gorgeous and give your self confidence a huge boost.  Don’t believe me – try it and see!  Then post me back – let me know if it really makes you feel more confident and upbeat or not!

Frustrated that the magic and romance in your relationship isn’t what you once had?

Believe me, you are not alone.

When you live together for a long time your relationship becomes stable and comfortable, and often results in killing that spark which made your relationship so special to begin with.

Rekindle The Magic In Your Relationship

Here are some fun, simple and creative ideas to help you re-ignite the magic!

#1  Send your partner a unique gift
Get some paper and crayons or color pencils.  Draw (even if it looks like a child’s drawing) a smiling sun and two stick figures holding hands(representing the both of you), indicate your names for each figure.
Next write  “I Love You” inside a huge heart.

Now get a large manila envelope,and with your printer, computer or typewriter formally address the envelope to your partner’s place of work using a label format like the following:

Personal And Confidential
For The Immediate & Urgent Attention Of
Jim Jones (use his or her name & address)
123 Spice Street
Vancouver, BC

Now mail it to your partner so they’ll receive it in the middle of a busy work day.

#2  Be a kid again!
If you’re walking in a park (hint), go visit the swings and swing together or have one of you push the other.  This usually brings back happy childhood memories.

#3  Water Fun
On a hot summer’s day (or even just in the house) buy 4 water pistols (large one for outdoor use, small one for indoor use – like for when they’re in the shower).
Take a walk out on the beach or the park, pull them out,throwing one to your partner and have a huge water fight.

#4  Massage (with a twist)
Get a beautiful, small ornamental cardboard box (or small wooden one), colored tissue paper, a blank decorative card and some massage oil.

Take the tissue paper and line the inside of the box, putting the massage oil inside.

Write this message on the card:  I know a wonderful masseur.  For an appointment call: (input YOUR phone number).

Place the box in a small decorative wrap bag with more colored tissue paper and have it delivered or dropped off at your partner’s place of work.

Alternatively, you could place it in their vehicle on the seat, or leave it on the kitchen table – somewhere where they can find it easily.

#5  Bring back good childhood memories
This one involves a bit more work.  Contact your partner’s siblings or parents and ask if there was anything he or she always wanted as a little child.
For example, if she always wanted a porcelain doll, get her one for Valentine’s or her birthday.  Or if he always wanted a train set or a puppy, not only will your parnter appreciate the gift, but also that you were thoughtful enough to want to find out what they always wanted.

#6  Look up!  The clouds!
Kidnap your spouse, pack up a picnic basket and drive out into the country. Find a grassy hill and lie with your partner and look up at the clouds.

#7 Take a walk along the beach
Draw a large heart in the sand, big enough that the two of you can sit or lay down in.  As the sun goes down, sit inside your heart and cuddle together as the sun sinks slowly below the horizon.

#8 Take a picnic on a warm summer’s night

Pack up your picnic basket or backpack (your can get these at any Wallmart or dollar store), put in some snacks, cheese, cholocates and wine or champagne.
Once at your destination, spread out the picnic blanket, open the basket, pour yourselves a glass of wine and gaze up at the stars together.

#9 Show your partner that you are grateful for being with them
Leave a single orchid, or a single long-stemmed rose where your partner will find it.  Attach a note to it saying:”Thank you for coming into my life”

#10  Spice up your love making
The most profound way to rekindle the romance in your relationship is probably to spice up your lovemaking.

After you make love, surprise your partner with a little gift.  Learn to give them a massage before or after, try a new position, or just spend some time staring into each others eyes and caressing their skin slowly before making love.

Many of us under-estimate the affect that intimate and passionate lovemaking has on our relationships.  If you spice it up, the odds are that you both will naturally do romantic things for each other. “Why?” you might ask.  Because making love  passionately connects two people in a meaningful and unexplainable way that nothing else can.

“Is there anything that can help save my marriage?” you might be wondering.  Perhaps your spouse has betrayed your trust and has hurt you deeply, leaving you feeling extremely betrayed, and now your marriage is in crisis.

In spite of this, you still find yourself asking this all important question.  If you’re feeling this way, believe me, you’re not alone.  Every day many people struggle with that very same question.

Want you marriage back on track?  Look in the mirror and start with yourself.  If you want someone to answer your plea to “help save my marriage”, you need to look within yourself.

Why?  Because if you’re like most of us, your reaction to  your spouse’s behavior (or whatever it was that he or she did), plays a very significant role in determining whether or not your marriage survives.

“How To Help Save My Marriage?”

Here are three tips for what you must NOT do if your marriage is in crisis and you want to save it:

Three Tips on How To Help Save My Marriage

#1 – NEVER play the victim.
It’s very easy to put yourself  into the victim mind-set when your spouse has wronged you or cheated on you.  Perhaps he gambled away your savings, or
slept with another woman or your best friend.

Are these serious issues?  Definitely yes.  But if you act like a victim or allow yourself to wallow in self pity, you will only make matters worse.  Not only will these make you less appealing and desirable to your spouse, you will also lose their respect and the respect of those around you.

Instead do this:  make up your mind that you will be a survivor.  What this means is, you now take responsibility for how you decide to react and behave in response to whatever it is that happened.  You can’t change what happened, but it is your choice in how you decide to handle it.

#2 -  DON’T hang onto Anger.

If you truly want any chance for healing in your relationship, you need to be willing to find a way to forgive and let go of your anger. No doubt this can be difficult, but you need to do this for you.

We often think that forgiveness is for others, or the other person, but this is more for the person who is doing the forgiving.  Holding onto resentment and anger only steals from you an incredible amount of energy and keeps you stuck on top of it. And taken too far will result in poor physical health as well.

Forgiving your spouse doesn’t mean forgetting what happened. Nor does it indicate that you are in any way condoning or accepting their behavior.  What it really means is that you’re willing to move forward and get past it.  Making this choice takes away the power the situation had over you. Once you do this, you will be free to put all of your energy into repairing the relationship.

#3  – DON’T condemn and judge your spouse

When you’ve been betrayed or deeply hurt in your marriage it is easy to take on an attitude of self-righteousness and judge your partner harshly.

What is important is that you remember we are all susceptible to doing things we may never have imagined we’d do if we were put in the same situation.

For example, you might be saying to yourself “I’d never, ever cheat on my spouse!”  Truth be told, many people who do have affairs also truly believed they’d never do it either.

If you truly want an answer to your burning question “Is there anything that can help save my marriage?” you will need to avoid becoming the judge, jury and ultimately the executioner in your relationship.  You’ve made mistakes too! The more you can try to be understanding of your spouse’s behavior and feelings rather than condemn them, the better your chances are to heal your relationship and make it stronger than ever.

Just planning on getting married?  What’s “Save My Marriage” got to do with anything? Lots. If you’re planning on staying together that is.

I get to review a lot of books, products, info products and courses that come across my desk,  so its quite simple to lose interest in a lot of the things  I see.  Until recently, that is.

I didn’t actually get to meet Andrew Rusbatch.   Andrew’s the online host of the new Save My Marriage Today Premium Home Study Course, but one of his managers asked me to have a look over his new course and give  him an honest opinion of what I thought.

Skeptically, I thought, “Hey, I’m one of those people who if I would have had this information might have saved my relationship”.  Besides I have friends right now who are unhappy with their spouses, and some of them really believe they’re in bad marriages -perhaps, just perhaps, this information might be good for one of them.

Long and short – I decided to check it out.

By the time I finished, I was literally disappointed that I hadn’t discovered this so much sooner!  I am hooked!  I also realized for the first time, that this course could be really be a helpful godsend  for couples in marital difficulties.  Point is, even spouses in relatively good marriages can learn a thing or three from his work.

This complete course contains very core principles that apply to both couples young and old, in marriages both old and new (or not so new).   So I thought I’d share some of my thoughts about this fabulous new product with you too. This is something every couple should see.

Everybody knows somebody …  who is in a difficult or failing marriage, or it might even be you …..

Andrew’s  full home study course aids all couples to carefully consider their relationship problems and how their attitudes and beliefs can help shape a recovery or add to their troubles.  It’s quite normal for marriages to go through periodic cycles, and make no mistake -  arguments will happen on occasion.

In fact, one of the things they talk about in the course is how disagreements are normal part of marital life. It’s nothing to fear or to be ashamed about! However, it’s how you deal with those arguments and disagreements that determines  your relationship health.

Andrew, Amy and Richard invite you to examine your own thoughts and beliefs, and they encourage you (and I) to modify our behavior patterns  so that you’re able to rebuild communication as a couple in a positive manner.  If you are truly serious about saving your marriage and in being the one who is instrumental in initiating in making these changes, you should learn all Andrew, Amy and Richard  have to tell and share with you.

Additionally,  with this is a free email consultation so that customers can discuss any additional marriage issues with a member of the team.

Andrew’s developed a course that covers all aspects fundamental to examining relationships.  Marriage problems are provided resolutions  such as:

* Identifying your marital issues.  Do you really know specifically why your marriage is in crisis? Discover crucial techniques that help you get to the real issues quickly.

* Examining your marriage expectations. Is your marriage not what you thought it was going to be or should be?  You can learn the things you absolutely need to know and how to avoid the misconceptions that are troubling or even destroying your marriage.

* Ten steps to save your marriage after infidelity – if your marriage is affected by infidelity learn first-hand the key steps to stop the decline and start to make improvements immediately!

* Identifying and dealing with addiction.  Hear how the team discusses self-soothing,  detoxification, core therapies to treating addiction, relapse prevention, keys to transformation, and tips for partners.

Although I didn’t take them up on this offer, they devote an hour and a half to offering key strategies and tips, and guide you through the support and treatment process for addiction.

* Creating a place for each other in your marriage. Do you feel overwhelmed or smothered?  Do you wish you could spend more time together as a couple – Quality Time?

Listen to their key strategies for balancing all of your needs in the relationship.

* Managing Anger. What strategies have you as a couple, for processing and controlling anger?  Finding new ways to manage stress and express it in a positive way can also bring you closer.  You and your partner working together can do some of the many exercises in their study guides to reconnect and express your feelings with love.

* Balancing Goals – This is a good one! Do you ever feel like nothing you r do is good enough?  Use their recommendations to identify how you can  achieve your individual (and personal goals) immediately and in the future – and how to make you both happy!

* Developing new tools for communication – breaking old habits  and finding new ways to communicate with lovingly.  Discover  strategies necessary to reconnect with your spouse in a way that you never have before!

* Transformation. This encompasses breaking bad past habits  and moving forward.  Every relationship encounters a defining moment when it seems possible to you both you that you really can save your marriage. Follow their guidelines to achieve the turnaround in your relationship quickly!

There is too much more to write about here that I can’t possibly list all of it!

Statistics say over 2 million couples divorce every year, and this has a huge impact on assets and earnings of those divorced couples.  Avoiding divorce could save you your life’s savings and assets, not to mention your future earnings!  If you are serious about re-building  and rekindling the love in your marriage you need to get Andrew’s advice and all he has to offer.

The Save My Marriage Today Premium Home Study Course is an instant-download

12-part video and written course, as well as their FOUR additional courses where Andrew,  Amy, and Richard delve deep into relationship issues for couples dealing with  addiction, infidelity, depression and monetary  problems.  That’s a full 8 hours of video plus 5 study guides to work your way through!

And, in addition there is a free email consultation so that customers can discuss any additional marital issues you might have with a member of the team.  This can really be a help to ANY couple with almost ANY marriage problem!

I sincerely believe Andrew is onto something wonderful here, and that his course really can help.
