Online Love

If you are married to your online love, living together is not easy. Here's how to make the transition from online love to real love, smooth. When I met my wife online a few years ago there was absolutely no doubt in my mind that we would be together for the rest of our lives. I knew I was going to marry her, and that she was The One. We had a great online relationship, but just as there is a world of difference between dating and marriage, this difference is even more pronounced in the world of online dating. It is important to make the transition with realistic expectations in mind. The process of moving in was quite involved. For me, it meant a re-location from London to San Diego. Apart from the obvious culture shock of moving from one country to another, I also had to give up my work, my family, friends and all possessions I could not carry with me. If that wasn't stressful enough, I was moving into a life I had never been a part of. Online lovers don't usual...

Friendship First

Image
Quite often it becomes clear that couples have missed a step or two in the mating process. They forgot to become friends and/or they forgot to court. Many couples come to counselling in crisis with their relationship or marriage at risk. They have little or no understanding of the issues or concerns of the other and even less appreciation of each other's point of view. The infatuation, mistaken as "true love", has expired in the demands of daily living. Quite often and upon exploration, it becomes clear that couples have missed a step or two in the mating process. They forgot to become friends and/or they forgot to court. Dating at any age is the involvement with another for personal fun, pleasure or gratification. With any luck, the involvement provides for mutuality of experience but this is not necessarily an objective. Given the sexual mores of the day, the intent of dating often includes sexual enticement or gratification. Luck features prominently in dating ...

Kiss Me

Image
Kissing is the best thing you can do with your lips. So do it right, and do it often! Kissing in the rain. Kissing in a dark theater. Kissing in a car. The first kiss. Stolen kisses at a party when no one's looking your way. Kissing by candlelight. Kissing under the mistletoe Did you kiss your loved one today? Someone once said: ' You may conquer with the sword, but you are conquered by a kiss.' It's true. Kissing is probably the most physically romantic two people can get. Man is the only animal who uses the kiss to express love. Dogs, cats and bears lick. Horses and cows rub noses and necks. Birds nestle. But only humans kiss. Kissing is the best thing you can do with your lips, so mak0e the most of it! Fresh Breath If you've just finished that garlic laden butter chicken and washed it down with a peg or two of white wine, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that your breath is not going to smell like a field of lavenders. Keep a min...

Happily Married

Image
A strong, happy marriage leads to secure, well-balanced children. Of course, this is not to say that children living with single parents grow up to be maladjusted individuals such children can be equally focused and happy as children and as adults. However, needless to say, children do benefit when their parents are happily married, which translates to mean happy in their marriage. A happy marriage A happy marriage is one in which both parents deeply love and care for each other. It is not a marriage in which parents stay together just for the sake of the children. If there is constant fighting between the parents, a childs insecurities will deepen further, and it is far better to separate than to subject the child to a constant battle at home. Similarly, a happy marriage is not one in which the wife is a doormat to the husband and continues in the marriage despite abuses being hurled at her all day from husband or in-laws. In order to get others, including your children, to re...

Separating From In-Laws

Image
It is wonderful if children can look after their parents, but if this arrangement is not working, it's best to separate. Most of us Indians take pride in the fact that our family ties are so strong. After all, we don't see the joint family system existing in many other cultures, do we Where else will we see families consisting of two brothers, their wives, their children, their parents and perhaps even a grandparent if not two, living in the same house Where will we find wives who wake up early morning, cook for their husbands and prepare their tiffins before they set off for work In which other culture do the old look after their young Truly, we Indians could teach the world a thing or two about happy families. Or so we think. While the joint family system can be great if it works, it rarely does. Animosity amongst sisters-in-law or amongst mothers and daughters in law is common, and this eventually leads to a break in the relationship amongst parents and their sons,...

Plan A Romantic Dinner

Your beloved's birthday is coming up. Or anniversary. Or perhaps you're simply feeling romantic and want to celebrate the fact that you're in love. Whatever the reason, a celebration calls for dinner and champagne. Here are some great decorating tips to help you turn a simple home-cooked meal into an unforgettable, romantic dining experience. Seating Don't dine on your regular table. Create a new seating, just for the two of you. Take a small table and place it next to the window if you have a nice view. Or if you have a garden, arrange for some outdoor dining. Tablecloths Place two tablecloths instead of one on your table. First, place a dark shade, and on top of that place a transparent lace tablecloth. For heaven's sake, no plastic! Use sheer fabrics if you don't have lace fabric. Bow Pin a satin bow behind each chair. Try this only if you are good with your fingers, so it doesn't look garish. Glitter Go glittery! Large packets of glitter ...

The Blind Date

Image
Many, many years ago , in the days when marriages were arranged without the couple seeing each other until the big day, an aunt of mine got married to a handsome gentleman. It was their Suhaag Raat, and he lifted her ghungat. What he saw made his heart lurch. He stood up, shaken, walked to the window and jumped four stories to his death. The next generation progressed by a step, with photographs being exchanged or couples taking a peek at each other before giving an answer. And now The Age of The Blind Date has dawned. This concept has slowly crept into the Indian scenario, with of course, the desi matrimonial touch. The couple meet, chat for a while, and if they click, they meet again - and again, before deciding whether they want to step into holy matrimony. These are still not the most pleasant experiences - but they need not be the horrifying episodes they are touted as. They can even be fun, if taken in the right spirit. Do your homework Find out the basics of the ...
