LovelyM — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 00:00:16 +0000

As we grow older together, As we continue to change with age, There is one thing that will never change. . . I will always keep falling in love with you. ~ Karen Clodfelder [Source]

When you first got married, the first thoughts you might have is to grow old with your partner. Have you ever wondered how people stayed loving to each other despite the years and the occasional disputes now and then? One of the life’s rules is to love with sincerity and honesty.

You may ask how to do that. Love with sincerity comes from the heart. Honesty is to love your partner as true as you can without thinking of others and comparing their actions to others. It’s one of the steps to have a long lasting relationship with each other.

Simple tasks are often the most difficult to do when it has to do with building new habits. It takes time and a lot of patience to develop the new habit of providing love for your spouse. One can start off with the Five Love Languages. It is the most useful way to start creating new habits to show your love to your spouse. We are still individuals in a way and like to be treated the way we like to be treated.

Are you still loving despite spending more than 3 decades together?

Family Classic: Mary Poppins

LovelyM — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:00:51 +0000

While Mary Poppins was filmed by Walt Disney Pictures in the 1960s, it’s still a classic with the songs like A Spoonful of Sugar and Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. What was unknown could be the fact that the original Mary Poppins in the book by P. L. Travers is that Mary is stern in the books while the one in the live motion picture was stern but kind to the children. To know more about the musical movie, check out the trivia here.

Julie Andrews went on to film The Sound of Music after that even though Mary Poppins wasn’t released on screen yet. For Mary Poppins (film), the storyline started off with the children running after a kite and the nanny ran away. Thus, the Banks started on a search for a nanny who could take the kids in hand.

While some of the scenes may seem awkward, that was the available technology in the 1960s, with a real robin that is trained to fly towards someone could be unheard of at that time. While some of the songs in the movie became more popular, there were other songs that were scrapped and only a few being used in other shows.

Bert, a long time friend of Mary was often shown to be able to do anything and loved to go along with the antics of the Banks children. He had a way of making Mary frown at him whenever he did that. The chirpy settings in the movie also included cartoons dancing along with Bert and Mary.

It might just get your family together for a singing good time with this timeless classic, Mary Poppins.

Giving Your Children The Best Start in Life

LovelyM — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 01:00:36 +0000

Every parent wants the best start for the children in life. In terms of getting the children into the best school in the country, or out of the country, enrolling them in various enrichment courses such as Creative Writing, Entrepreneurship as early as age 9, computer classes like Flash, Microsoft and sometimes, even crash courses in JavaScript.

While the IT lessons may be exaggerated for those aged 9, the others aren’t. All the lessons need money. Lots of money. Not every family can afford it despite the parents both working hard full time. Even ballet, martial arts to help the kids’ health, all need money, more than the enrichment classes that schools have subsidised for them.

Whatever in life that parents want to give to their children, it’s always the best possible option. Parents just want their children to have a better life than they do, no matter what the financial situation is. If it helps their children to get ahead faster than other children in class, for example, better mathematics calculations in their heads, they will send them off to abacus classes. If it helps the children to do better in spelling, they will send them off to courses that teach the kids on phonics.

All these efforts are done in hopes of helping the children to do better in life and perhaps have a better lifestyle in future. The things that parents do while the children are too young to understand have all been done in hope. Hope that the children will grow up to be useful people and an added bonus is to be well-known in a good name.

However, how many are really able to do it in the current situation when subsidised courses come with a condition that not all may qualify for the subsidies / scholarships / bursaries? In this case, how do parents really help their children get a good start in life?

Are You a Giver?

LovelyM — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 00:00:56 +0000

Flowers are never lacking in any wedding. In the book, Five Languages of Love by Dr Chapman, it spoke of gift giving for some people. When one doesn’t receive any gifts, it’s like one isn’t being missed or loved. Gifts for your loved ones needn’t be flowers every time although they are bonuses when it comes to expressing your love.

Besides flowers, gifts such as those suggested in the wedding anniversary series can also be used. In addition, making your own gifts may just show your spouse that you care about them too.

Some spouses love reading and books make great gifts too. If you don’t know what books, find out what particular book your spouse has been talking about but never got around to get it. If your spouse loves a particular genre, get one from that genre. Romance books like Twilight, Love and Respect are just some suggestions. The alternative is to get the books from her favourite author.

A gift giver likes to give others presents. It is a joy to receive such gifts that have been from the bottom of their hearts. A person who loves to give away presents need not be rich. One can be good at crafting as they can be personalised for the receipient.

Are you a gift giver? What are the gifts you have given away that made someone’s day?

Your Kids Will Follow You, No Matter What

LovelyM — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 00:00:32 +0000

Always remember, everyone is hungry for praise and starving for honest appreciation! ~ David Brandt Berg ~ [Source]

It’s often so much easier to tell the kids, “Why didn’t you put your dirty clothes in the laundry basket?” They will do it but grudgingly and will not put the dirty clothes to be washed in the basket the next time either. Every time the child does something wrong, he/she is often reprimanded and keeps repeating the same mistake.

It can be changed with a word of praise for something else the child did. Influencing your children will take practice if you haven’t done it before. All you need is a little improvement for your influence and over time, you will be a natural in ensuring your children are following your ways; the right paths that you hope they will follow in.

Praising is a sincere action, even with your partners. Children will follow their parents no matter what, they follow what they see. It’s duplicated over generations and if you do sit back and observe, you will realise that a pattern has been formed. There are vices that you always wanted to eradicate but failed to.

Start with a small change and continue with praises for each improvement your kids have shown. Human beings need motivation and sometimes, the motivation doesn’t need to be materialistic either. Kids just want your attention in order to feel loved.

Putting down your partner in front of you kids make them lose respect for that parent. They won’t revere their mothers or fathers since they know the weakness of the parents. They will just go “It doesn’t matter anyway since mum/dad can’t even resolve some issue the other time.”

Even if your children are being surrounded by all the vices you don’t want them to pick up, as long as you have done your part in showing them that you are responsible to the family, they will follow you. Parents just want their children to grow up to be useful and perhaps great personalities. Such characters starts from young.

What are the things you have done to ensure that you have kids who listen to you more than to their peers?

Why Get Married?

LovelyM — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 01:00:28 +0000

More marriages might survive if the partners realized that sometimes the better comes after the worse. ~ Doug Larson [Source]

A simple question in Google can lead you to a thousand and one links and more on the reasons to why one should get married. However, there are right and wrong reasons to get married in the first place. The wrong reasons like gettting married in order to be happy won’t help since you are depending on others to make you happy.

Marriage can be used by the visualisation of the perfect vaction. It’s an analogy that can be visualised by anyone who has thoughts about taking that trip somewhere and thinking of all the activities that can be done at the destination.

Marriage leads to fulfillment in all areas of our lives: the physical and the spiritual, the financial and the practical, the esoteric and the down-to-earth day to day needs.

An interesting study states that married people are less accident prone too.

Married people not only have lower rates for a variety of illness, they are less accident-prone than singles. Singles also are far more likely to have a car accident or die of diseases of the liver, largely caused by drinking liquor. Research shows that married people drink least, the widowed, divorced or separated the most.
