Dating: 3 Things That Can Save You When You Don’t Know What To Say.

For boys only.


You are dating a beautiful but a shy girl or one that is not a talkie. You have already talked about your hobbies, your families and your jobs and nothing else come into your mind and she is not really helping you (that’s what you believe).

One of the best ways of having a good, healthy and wholesome chat with your girlfriend is to start with small talk. The small talk will give you a general picture about her likes and dislikes, as well as what she would like to discuss and what she would rather leave alone. Once the small talk gives you a general idea, you can go ahead and discuss your common likes and dislikes. But what is really freaking you are those moment of silence. Uhh… horrible moments.

The key to avoid or get over these horrible moments are:

1. Compliment her.

The fact is most people are shy about meeting new people. I used to be enormously shy. But when you think about it, shyness is merely a fear that others won’t like you, or that you may be rejected in some way. It’s natural for us to desire acceptance. So try to make her know that you like her by making a compliment. But find something that you really find attractive about her, about her lifestyle or her personality. She will become more confident and more open to share her believes and her shyness won’t be a problem for a fluid conversation.

2. Asking open questions.

How you ask questions is very important in establishing a basis for an effective communication. Effective questions open the door to knowledge and understanding. The art of questioning lies in knowing which questions to ask when. My favorites questions are “why” and “how” questions. You can use these frequently without being annoying. She will feel that you are interested in what she is telling you and will develop her answers. Therefore, you should think carefully before speaking and taking up subjects that might be repugnant to her.

3. Listen, listen, and listen.

Usually when the woman starts talking about her favorite subjects (feelings, family, relationships, friends and her work) many men lose interest or bring the conversation back to themselves. This is one of the biggest mistake men are doing all the time.

They also like to exchange jokes and anecdotes and spend a fair amount of time playing one-up and boasting. Stop doing that!!! Allow HER to have HER points of view, while you have yours. Men have felt like they have either had to abandon their own beliefs in order to try to get a woman, OR they had to fight with women about what they believe in. Both approaches lead to failure. She is not there with you just to hear about your hero “qualities”, but to have a great time!

God's Blue Print for Marriage


God intended marriage from the very beginning. Contrary to what some would like to think, marriage was not a result of the sinful fall of humanity.

God established marriage in the perfect Garden of Eden. He made man in His image and then brought the woman Eve to him. God created marriage that day and intends it to be a lasting institution.


1) Marriage was instituted by God (Genesis 2:18, Matthew 19:4)


2) Marriage involves one woman and one man (Genesis 2, Matthew 19:4)


3) The marital union is intended for sexual relations (Mark 10:8), procreation (Genesis 1:28) and for raising the next generation (Proverbs 22:6) although its complete minus children.


4) Marriage is to reflect God’s image (Genesis 1:26-27).


5) Marriage is to be an illustration of the relationship between Christ and His Church (Ephesians 5:22-33).

·         Wives are to submit to their own Husbands, as to the Lord (Ephesians 5:22).

·         Husbands are to lovingly and sacrificially lead their wives as Christ leads and loves His Church and gave Himself up for it (Ephesians 5:26-29)

In a culture of easy believeism and many false teachers, it is important to find sound Biblical teaching. This is especially important on the subject of marriage.

What makes a Good Marriage Good.


Most people get into a marriage with high and full spirits. They know fully well what they are getting into and accept this with an open heart. While you may say that there is a lot of hype in marriages especially on the days leading up to the wedding day, it can get a bit difficult to maintain this momentum.

There are many sad stories told about marriages dissolving because they had trouble maintaining the lives they had imagined they would have with each other. But everyday can’t be a honeymoon. While there are indeed good marriages, there are also partners who eventually lose the heat.

Without questioning the devotion and love one partner feels for the other and vice versa, a couple may find their marriage at times to be monotonous and in a humdrum.

A good marriage should always be stimulating for both persons involved and should make each other to look forward to another day with each other. It should provide a union that doesn’t erase one’s individuality.

Good marriages just don’t happen, it’s not just about love, devotion and compatibility. Both man and woman should work hard to make a marriage good and keep it that way.

Some tips on a Good Marriage.

Be spontaneous and have different interests. It is always good to keep the other guessing. Do not have a predictable marriage that would make the union boring. Have different interests that you could share with your partner.

Be adventurous in the bedroom. Your sex life should be more than satisfactory. Experimenting is not a bad idea. Make your bed room romps something each one always looks forward to. Do not be critical with each other as well in making love. Learn to appreciate and communicate.

And never forget to have fun. Be a child with each other, remember the good times when you were just dating, try to impress one another and don’t take each other for granted.


Poisonous Relationship sample.


Poisonous Relationships Don't Just Happen – they are begun harmful and sustained in harmfulness by those who purposely resist scriptural direction and aimlessly ignore cautioning signs and warnings/red flags.

Numerous relationships resemble bombs – they are wired to detonate.

Any relationship that depends on something besides certified shared love is a Poisonous Time Bomb.

Wedding for Curves, Cash, Car or on the other hand Crib Creates Catastrophic Chaos. Wedding for monetary benefit is a sorry reason for marriage and a catastrophe waiting to happen – It'll quite often wind up Harmful.

Cash can't buy love and neither can it ensure satisfaction.

True happiness is more than shillings and cents.

Writing The Perfect Wedding Speech – Hints and Tips.

 


So you’ve been asked to give a speech at a wedding? Or maybe you just want to make a speech on your own accord, it doesn’t matter. It also doesn’t matter if you are the bride, the groom, the best man, the father of the bride or the maid of honor, it’s still a scary ordeal for anyone to have to go through. But with the tips I give you in this article, I assure you, you will feel more comfortable not only writing the perfect wedding speech but delivering the perfect wedding speech, so let’s get started shall we.

The best way to get a wedding speech started is to thank any one and every one important to the bride and groom and everyone who helped set up the wedding. Depending on what your role is, you can spend quite a bit of time thanking everyone, including the bride and groom’s parents for making the wedding possible.

Telling a funny story about either the bride or groom is also a good way to get the speech going smoothly. Make sure the funny story you tell though isn’t vulgar or terribly rude and don’t go spilling secrets that might hurt the marriage before it even has a chance to get started. This is not the time to air dirty laundry to everyone in the family.

Giving the bride and groom some advice that you’ve learned over the years about relationships, marriage or just general good advice is a great way to end your speech. If you’ve learnt something over the many years you’ve lived and you feel like it would benefit the bride and or groom, then by all means, impart your wisdom to them and the entire wedding reception.

If after reading these tips you still are not sure you can write the perfect wedding speech, I give you permission to steal someone else speech and reword it into your own. You will find thousands of websites that offer free wedding speech templates online (including my blog) and there are countless books you can buy online and download online right now that give you really good quality speeches and toasts that you can pick and use as your own.

But the main thing to remember is relax! It’s all a bit of fun in the end and as long as you don’t insult any one or say anything vulgar and rude, everyone will think your speech was great.

Why should single Christians seek to be married?

This may seem like an obvious question but we often come across confused single Christians wondering whether God wants them to be married or with wrong ideas about why they should get married. 

In this article we will attempt to give some clear advice to all single Christians who are beginning the dating process and are wanting to know the right motives they should have regarding marriage. 

Single Christians may need to overcome a burden of guilt regarding wanting to be in a loving relationship. This may have arisen through a feeling of unworthiness or lack of self-esteem: I don't deserve to get married, God doesn't love me enough to find me a partner or similar thoughts.

The truth is that, right from the start, God has not wanted people to be alone. Adam was the first human being God created and He thought that Adam should not be on his own, in fact it was the first thing God said was not good when everything else in the garden of Eden was perfect. So, if Gods purpose for his creation was for them not be alone then we can be sure that He has not changed and He still wants everyone to be married like Adam was. 
Of course we now live in a fallen world and Gods plan for marriage may not be perfected in all our lives the same as any of His may not be perfected. 

This is no reason not to pursue them though. So much of the Kingdom of God is built on relationship (perhaps all of it) and marriage within Gods plan is at is heart. The Bible says that marriage is a mystery that mirrors Christs relationship with His Church. If this was the best illustration St Paul could use then surely marriage is a significant thing for Christians. The New Testament says that people should marry to avoid falling into immorality. Marriage is the best place for intimacy as it is a committed and blessed relationship. 

People go into marriage wanting that security from being with their partners. Intimacy outside this is temporary and risky both physically and emotionally and does not carry Gods blessing. Christians should not be scared of intimacy and consider it somehow non-spiritual, the truth is that it is deeply spiritual and can provide great healing within a marriage. 

Single Christians should seriously consider their own need for true intimacy before they begin dating, as this should not become a shock to them once they get married. God wants single Christians to marry because He wants children to be born into the Christian community.
 
We mention this lastly as we believe that the relationship aspects of marriage should be thought about first. If the relationship motives are not right then having children will not fix things. 

So there are a number of good reasons why single Christians should be happy to seek marriage without feeling selfish or guilty. Seeking what is good for ones life is not to be criticized and people should encourage others looking to improve the quality of their lives through a married relationship.
