As Dr Laura will tell you, good parenting–and a good marriage for that matter–begins with action and example. If you don’t want your kids to scream, don’t scream at them. If you want your kids to listen, listen to them.

This isn’t to say that parents should cave in to the whims and desires of their children. Listening doesn’t mean agreeing. Refusing doesn’t mean shouting. Parents still need to be the boss. Children are dependents. That means that until they can support themselves, the one who makes the rules is the one that provides.

There are many appalling stories of bad parenting. One that comes to mind is when parents refuse to discipline because they feel “guilty” taking away toys from their children.

This is ridiculous. Children don’t get to decide these things. It is up to parents to set the expectation and live by example. If parents demonstrate that children can get anything they want if they only scream about it, then scream they certainly will!

Of course, the problem goes beyond the way parents treat children. Children also observe how their parents treat other children, visitors, teachers, or strangers. The most influential “bad example” is how parents treat each other. Husbands who don’t support or listen to their wives and wives who devalue the needs of husbands have an enormous impact. When children see parents mistreating each other they learn that this is how adults can and should behave.

To make a family function, marriage has to function, and the problems aren’t always where we think they are (i.e. the “other” spouse). Solving a problem requires action. A broken relationship can be fixed, but let it start on YOUR end. After all, you’re in the relationship too. Do your part!

One book I recommend is Dr Laura’s The Proper Care and Feeding of Marriage. Dr Laura Schlessinger is the number 1 listened-to female radio personality in the country and the number 3 listened-to overall radio personality.

In her press release for The Proper Care and Feeding of Marriage, Dr Laura lays out the following advice:

“Too often, we take out our childhood hurts on our loved ones without even seeing it,” she says. The press release goes on to add: “Dr. Laura urges readers to look inward before pointing fingers, and explains what to do when the emotional lovey-dovey feelings don’t seem to be there. THE PROPER CARE AND FEEDING OF MARRIAGE suggests making behavioral changes that will improve your spouse’s life dramatically, including:

• Treat your spouse as if you loved him/her with your last breath
• Think hard every day about how you can make their life worth living
• Be the kind of person you would want to love, hug, and come home to”

Sound simple? It is. But the advice Dr Laura offers can dramatically change not only a marriage, but an entire family.

A wedding ceremony is as unique as the couple exchanging their vows. To add to that uniqueness there are particular wedding decoration that can be chosen. These wedding decorations reflect what the bride and groom wish to convey to those witnessing the declaration of their vows.

The marriage ceremony can be simple or elaborate. The wedding decorations chosen can be limited by budget, but even with minimal investment can serve to enhance the beauty of the love and devotion celebrated. Simple wedding decorations can include thematic color, candles, and flowers.

Thematic Color

One of the key visual features involving a wedding decoration is the color selected. This color generally threads its way through the entire venue chosen for the ceremony and is often the main color chosen for the bridesmaid’s attire. This wedding decoration is primary in regards to reflecting the love of the bride and groom.

Candles

Candles are an important wedding decorations as they symbolize the shining warmth, burning love, softness, and romance of the wedding ceremony. Following the thematic color chosen by the bride this wedding decoration symbolizes the prayers offered by the marriage guests on behalf of the marital couple.

Another candle feature would be the unity candle. This wedding decoration symbolizes the marital union of not only two lives, but the joining of two families together. With two tapers on either side of a large pillar candle this wedding decoration is prominently placed in proximity to the marriage ceremony. Prior to the arrival of the bride to be the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom come forward and light the two tapers.

During the actual ceremony the bride and groom move forward to the unity candle and light the large pillar candle from the flames of the two separate tapers. The lighting of the unity candle symbolically reflects their new family and union from two separate families.

Flowers

Flowers are another important wedding decoration. Their beauty, fragrance, and vibrancy add to the festivities and reflect the blossoming of love between a man and a woman. It is best to work with a professional florist and select the flowers that best match what the wedding ceremony is trying to create through the use of decorations.

Finally, many hands make light work. Therefore, have someone assigned to oversee this wedding decoration. Work off a checklist which includes the proper number of bouquets, boutonnieres, bridal bouquet, etc.

1. Save time and money using ad submitters. You
will reach a larger part of your target audience far
more quickly than by manually submitting your ad.

2. Create a good first impression. You will not be
able to sell very many products if your visitors think
your web site looks unprofessional.

3. Stop procrastinating and start finishing all your
business tasks. Do one at a time. Do not get caught
up thinking that you can never get them all done.

4. Develop a relationship with all your visitors and
customers. Tell them how much you appreciate
them visiting your web site or buying your product.

5. Hire a business coach to help improve yourself
and business. They could help increase your sales,
motivate you, balance your workload, etc.

6. Stay away from being too comfortable with your
income or life. You should always be making new
goals for yourself and developing new sales ideas.

7. Stay away from becoming a workaholic. Your
mind needs time away from your business life. This
will help your brain think clearly while working.

8. Create and follow short/long term goals for your
business. The short goals can create early success
and the long term goals can create future success.

9. Look for different ways to prove your business
and products to your audience. You could collect
testimonials, hold surveys, do scientific tests, etc.

10. Try new business ideas and strategies. Do not
be afraid of changing what you’re doing. You could
try out technology, advertising, marketing, etc.

You can’t go wrong if you decide to give your wedding guests edible wedding favors as these are always appreciated. Normally they are of the sweet variety but there is no reason why savory favors cannot be supplied. There is something quite special about a chocolate bar that has a wrapper designed to suit the special occasion. Of course hand made or fine quality chocolate will be received with greater enthusiasm than the regular type you might buy from the local store! Not only can the bride and groom have the wedding details printed on the candy wrapper but a special loving message can also be placed on there.

It is not unusual to see a picture of the happy couple on this sort of wrapper or even a presentation box. Other edible wedding favors can come in the form of small pieces of candy in tins. There is also typically the option of personalizing the tin by including the wedding date and the name of the bride and the groom. Tins are always useful so once the candy has been eaten, it can be used to store many small items that might be lost otherwise. Most people will tuck into an edible wedding favor even if they do not normally eat candy because the occasion makes them more susceptible.

One unique way to give out candy as wedding favors is to use large glass bowls as the centerpieces for the tables and fill the bowls with the bride and grooms’ favorite types of candy. An addition to this is to have special boxes made up for every guest with the details of the wedding and if you have decided on a theme of some kind then the box or container can match this. You can guarantee it won’t take long before the guests start filling their boxes with the candy. If you are looking for a different edible wedding favor idea then why not try arranging for the guests to have cookies instead of candy. By using plain cookies, it is easy to present them in a nice box with the bride and grooms names plus the date and location of the wedding.

Why do humans love to read top 7 or top 10 articles so much? Have you ever wondered? It is a known fact that very few article titles are as effective as Top 7 or Top 10 ways to do something or steps to achieve something. Titles like; “Top 7 Things to Make You Successful,” “Top 10 Halloween Costumers for 2005,” and “Top 7 Ways to Get the Girl You Want!” It is truly amazing how well these work, people like these titles and they really like to read articles with bullet points and lists. It is easy reading, it cuts to the chase and they feel they can learn something very fast without all the fat and fluff.

You see the new paradigm of the stressed out consumer and citizen in our society is too busy with 2.2 kids, white picket fence, college degree, credit card debt, mini-van and getting the kids to soccer practice to read anything too complex. They want the information fast with no BS. Even the Televisions and News Networks give information this way now have you noticed; seven-minute segments and snippets at a time, then commercial and then NEXT. Just the way the Internet clicking, BMW driving, traffic induced, caffeine driven crowd wants it. Give it to me now, give to me fast, thank you very much got to go; places to go, people to see, emails to return; you understand. Think on it.
