As soon as you get married, you start the so called family life and things sometimes change. Here are a few ideas what to expect.

Marriage often changes people, it makes them believe that they posses each other and at the end this results in constant quarrels who to dominate the marriage.

Western women are more emancipated than those from the east. There is no doubt that they have personal task list which they follow and often they place career development on a higher stage than their family life. On the contrary eastern women are devoted to their families and are ready to drop everything in the name of their husbands and children. Ukrainians are not an exception.

The difficult moment comes when the interest within the family stand one against the other. Ukrainian brides will be more focused on your relationship and its development than anyone else. They try to keep their husbands at home as longer as it is possible and sometimes they get jealous.
They desperately want kids shortly after marriage because they do not feel full members of the society if they have not contributed to it by giving birth. Every business trip and every denial of children to come as fast as possible are considered personal failures and this makes them feel disappointed of the marriage.

They start thinking that they are not good wives and the stress raises day after day if the husband is not having the time or desire to pay a little attention to their specific needs and understandings.

What can you do in cases like this?

First of all, try to assure your bride that after the honeymoon you should go back to work, because work means money, which you need in order to put food on the table and to buy tiny presents for her and make her happy. Try to be precise and compare the lifestyle in your country to this in Ukraine. People earn more in the western countries but the standard of living there is way much different. In her homeland there are people who live a whole month with less than a hundred dollars - something that you spend in the supermarket doing your weekend shopping of foods and goods.

Ukrainian brides sometimes become jealous that you stay too much at work and not enough time with them. Well, sometimes they are right. The sad truth is modern men indeed spend too much time in offices than with their families. Do not let this happen to you.

If you are sure that you spend enough time with your wife have a chat with her to discuss her fears. Try to prove that you are loyal to her and you are not cheating. Try to share as much of your work with her, of course without breaking some corporate policies for confidentiality. Tell her about your colleagues and the problems you deal with every day. Do not make this a routine report, but reveal your emotions.

Even if your work is not that interesting, your bride will feel closer to you if she knows what are you doing. Traditional Ukrainian families share everything: from the happiness to sadness, from success to bankruptcy, from love to hatred. Normal men spend from eight to ten hours every day at their offices or workplaces. Do not pretend that this time of your life does not exist. Instead of this, make it work for you and straighten your marriage.

Music – a wedding is still a wedding without it, but wow, does it ever make a difference! There is a particular feeling that music evokes. Combine that feeling with the dynamics and emotions of a marriage ceremony and the sum is greater than the parts. We associate music with events and one way to keep the memory of your wedding day alive is to hear the music that was played when you went down the isle and the feelings can come rushing back, over and over again.

Since my wedding officiating also includes a certain amount of wedding planning advice, I always ask brides to be what they are planning for food, flowers, ceremony, venue, and of course, music. More often than not, they still have not decided on how to handle the ceremony music. Oh sure, the DJ for the reception was probably the first vendor chosen only after the venue, but the ceremony music is often one of those pesky details left for very last.

Fear not, it just does not have to be that way. What many of you are not aware of, or not at least during the planning stages of your wedding, is that right here in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, and indeed in most areas of the county, there is seasoned talent waiting to be tapped – and for far less than professional musicians. I’m not knocking the pros, but when you are watching every dime, in many cases the choice of musician can save you more than $1000.00. Who are these musicians of whom I speak?

That talent I’m speaking of is in the music schools at the conservatories, universities, military bands, and even high schools. You can usually find several reliable students (get several that way if one drops out, you still have at least two) who will come and play their hearts out for 1/5th the price of the professionals. The students are accepted by the schools because they have talent. And as most starving students will tell you, they are usually willing to do some work for that extra college cash.

So, now that the idea is swimming in your head, you are wondering who to call. I would start by pulling out the yellow pages and looking under schools, colleges and universities, and high schools. Call the main number and ask for the music department. When you get someone in the music department, tell them that you are looking for several students that may be interested in playing at your wedding. Be sure to tell them its for pay, not for free. Usually, they will take your name and number and pass it on to the students or post it on the bulletin board.

This is just one way to cut the costs of your wedding affair. And the students really appreciate the extra cash they make, the professional-like experience they get, and the recognition that their talents are needed. Be sure to send me an email and let me know how your musical student talent search comes out.

My beliefs…
I’ve come to realize and have peace with the understanding that each of us has a human and spiritual right to connect with God in our own unique way, as our God leads us. I recognize each person’s uniquely chosen path, separate and distinct from my own, and honor that with and for them. It is often difficult to for some to understand such a position; But I believe in doing so, we honor ALL of God’s people, creation, and richness in life.

Second marriage showers celebrate new love and the upcoming marriage. Couples who have been married before, usually take very seriously this next step in their life. They want support of friends and family. So, if you’ve been wondering whether it’s appropriate to have one,… the answer is “yes”!

Planning a bridal shower for a second marriage will include many of the same bridal shower ideas used for a first marriage. You will have to decide on a budget, location, food, decorations, etc. Answering the following questions may be helpful:

Who should host the shower?

The maid of honor and/or bridesmaids, or any close close friend, can help with the plans, Second marriage showers are often couples showers. If this is the case, get the grooms friends involved.

Who should be invited?

Ask the couples for a guest list. Only send an invitation to those who will be invited to the wedding.

When should the wedding shower be given?
Four to six weeks before the wedding is a good choice. Anytime that works best for coordinating guests, and the “guest (or guests) of honor”, may be chosen.

What location should be used for second wedding shower?
These parties are often more casual. They can be held at the couples favorite local bar/restaurant.
A private home or rented hall, are also options.

Are decorations necessary?
Decorations are never required, but add to the occasion. Many second marriage showers have a theme, such as a luau or music era. Decorate to go along with the theme.

Should games be played?
Games that are always optional. They are often a fun way to add entertainment to a theme party.

What type of gifts are given?
This depends on the age, and finances of the new couple. Some young couples will still need many of the basics. Many older couples have plenty, and may not want gifts. Instead, they may request that guests donate to a favorite charity. No matter what the age, the bridal party may still want to give a special gift. A spa package, or weekend getaway, are gifts with a personal touch, that are always appreciated.

How about music?
Play the couples favorites, or songs that coordinate with your theme.

Are favors given?

The celebration of a wedding is normally a family event. Thus, it is not surprising to find that most of the attendees in any wedding consist of relatives from both sides of the bride and the groom. It is even more traditional that people who are part of the wedding entourage are either the brother, sister, cousin, niece or nephew of the couple to be wed.

For the ladies, the most coveted position is to be chosen as the maid of honor since the person picked is one whom the bride considers to be her closest or best friend. Then there are also the bridesmaids and flower girls to complete the ensemble. On the men’s side, the equivalent position of the maid of honor is the best man. The other members of the wedding entourage are the page boys and the ring bearer.

Generally, it is the groom who will decide who he wants to be his best man. It is very rare that the best man is chosen by another person. The groom’s final choice for best man will usually be one of his male best friends. Given that a wedding is a reunion of family and friends, it is natural that the groom would want his best friend to share in his joy at the occasion. Aside from his closest male friend, the groom may also pick his brother to fill the role of the best man. Sometimes, the groom may choose a person who is neither his best friend nor his brother, but someone who is responsible for introducing him to his bride-to-be. In rare cases, the groom may even decide to have a female “best person”.

Traditionally, the best man should be single since he will also be actively participating in the wedding preparation, hence this can be time-consuming. This is not to say that single people have time on their hands! However, it is now acceptable that a married person become the best man. In this case, the groom as well as bride can benefit from the wisdom that will be imparted by a married best man as regards starting and building a family.

What constitutes intimacy in a relationship? Is it having great sex once a day? Is it being romantically involved? It could be those things, but intimacy is sharing yourself with the one you love because you trust them and you appreciate them. Sex alone is not what makes intimacy. Romance alone is not what makes intimacy. But if you put romance, sex, respect, honesty, communication, and appreciate into the equation and you balance those areas out in the marriage that could very well constitute intimacy in marriage.

To feel close to the person you married, you first have to trust them. That includes knowing that they are there for you if you need them. An intimate relationship is a supportive one. When you appreciate, and encourage the person you love on a consistent basis you are forming an intimate bond. Rejecting your spouse in any way is pulling away at those trust levels that marriage so much needs. Couples need and want to feel secure and emotionally involved with their partner.

It is quite ironic that couples feel closer and more loving towards each other the more they give of themselves in the marriage. Intimacy is not something that just happens, it is made. It takes two to become intimate, and it takes two to bring and maintain intimacy in the marriage. If only one is working towards being close and the other is pulling away from getting close, then intimacy will not happen.

In marriage or in any relationship if you want to be intimate and share a close bond with the person you love, then the effort most definitely has to be put into it. Intimacy is communicating on a deeper level than just talking about the weather and “what’s for dinner”? Many couples take this area of the relationship for granted. They do not realize that their marriage actually thrives on intimacy.

Not sharing closeness with the one you are married to is one of the underlying reasons for infidelity in marriage, not just physically, but emotionally as well. And this brings me to communication in marriage. Emotional infidelity is becoming the new fad. It starts out innocent enough, but having an emotional involvement with someone other than your spouse is dangerous to the marriage. Couples do not need to go looking for someone who understands and appreciates them. All they really need to do is to be open and honest in their conversation with the person they married.

Communicating on an open and honest level is a part of intimacy. So it is very important to learn proper communication skills on that level. There are two different ways we communicate with our spouse. Productive communication brings something into the relationship to help couples to know and understand each other. From the communication below, ask yourself what you could learn from each other.

“I like it when you touch me there?” “I feel it easier to tell you my true feelings when you don’t discount my feelings” “When you reject me, I don’t feel very close with you.” “I felt hurt last night when you made fun of me in front of our guests.” “Please do not make jokes about me in front of our friends.” “I would like it if you would try and come home earlier at night, but if your job keeps you working late so you can take care of us, I understand.” “I would like it if you would not wear that skimpy shirt anymore. I want you all to myself, and I don’t think it is a good idea having other men stare at your breasts.” “I want to protect you, that is one of the ways I feel that I am loving my wife.” “Could you please not cook spinach soufflé anymore, I just don’t like it, but everything else you cook for us is wonderful.”

This kind of communication is productive because it is open and honest. If you happen to say something negative always say something positive in the same sentence too. Productive communication brings couples closer together because they are opening up to each other. And this is what you want in marriage. It is my belief that couples have productive talks a couple of times a week. These communications keep you updated and emotionally involved with the person you married, which couples thrive on for an intimately satisfied marriage.

“I don’t know if I’m ready to think of myself as married” said a girl whom I’d known for maybe ten minutes. She was getting married in a few weeks time and clearly she was getting nervous. So I did what any good wife would do—I told her the truth. Marriage is just another title for your relationship in the present.

Before I got married, I was afraid that marriage would change me and my friendships. Another part of me thought marriage would make me a better person. The truth is, I had already built my own identity long before we took our vows and nothing could change the real me, for better or for worse. Let me explain…

Fear: My single friends won’t want to hang out with me.

Every marrying woman worries about this. Especially women like me who only know five people who are married. Here’s the reality—your friends don’t care if you are single or not. Really. They will keep talking about sex and how horrible men are, but they will probably stop asking you for dating advice for a while. Then they’ll realize marriage is just another relationship and you can rejoin the “My man is driving me crazy” discussions. If anything makes a single woman happy, it is knowing that no marriage is perfect.

Hope: I’ll start acting more like a wife.

Everyone has this stereotypical image of a housewife who cooks and cleans and sits on her husband’s slippers to warm them up before he comes home from work. That was never going to be me. But I had these fantasies about waking up together, eating at the dinner table, cooking with my husband and maybe—just maybe—finding some joy in cleaning the house. After all, it was our home. If I had been realistic about all this, I would have realized that I hate cleaning. I still can’t cook and neither can he, and we are perfectly happy not doing it. So remember, it’s your life and you don’t have to live up to some stereotype. Besides, how does a wedding band change your cooking skills?

Fear: My ambitions will die.

No, that’s what happens when you have kids. Just kidding. One of the main reasons I fell in love with my husband was that he encouraged me to succeed in life and for the first time ever, I really believed it. Every married woman I have spoken to (yes, all five) says that the emotional support of her spouse makes her work harder to achieve her goals. Then, of course, they all wonder if they are working too hard, where it will all lead and what they really want from life. Hey single girl—isn’t that what you’re doing right now, too?

Hope: Our arguments won’t hurt as much.

Every time we fight, I cry. Every time we in fury threaten to be perfectly capable of living without one another, I take it as seriously as the first time I heard those words. I thought before our engagement that I would be able to fight “better” if he had promised himself to me forever. I thought the same when we were going to get married. Guess what? Fighting sucks. But, as my friend Christina says, “Arguing once in a while about the little things is good. It keeps you passionate and makes for good make-up sex.”

Fear: I won’t be able to have male friends.

“Of course you can have male friends!” says Katie, who has been married for four years. “You just have to have firm boundaries and be honest with your spouse about your relationships. Just remember if you wouldn’t do it in front of your spouse, then you shouldn’t be doing it!!” My husband and I face this problem occasionally, but the more secure we are in our relationship, the less he cares that my friend James wants to lend me his porn and I forgive the occasional catch-up dinner with his female friends. Let us emphasize the word occasional.

Marriage doesn’t change you, but I had spent my entire adulthood building a me and now we were an us. This is what changed. Not who I was, what I liked to eat or what I liked in bed. Like in any relationship, what you should be most worried about is how to still love someone after being together for so long. Everyone will tell you that marriage gets more and more difficult with time, but so will any relationship—with or without a binding promise.

As we were dating in Japan, Eric said there was not much difference between Japan and Singapore. After I decided to marry him, I thought I had better visit Singapore to see with my own eyes what Singapore and his family were like.

On the Singapore Airline flight, I read the feature article on Singapore in the flight magazine and found the sights of town very exotic. Is this Singapore? Eric said that Singapore and Japan is not much different. Is it true?

A Warm Welcome - Singapore Style

At Changi Airport, only Eric welcomed me. Strange, I thought. A Japanese fiancée coming all the way from Japan and no family member showing interest!? I arrived at night and everything was dark outside when we took a taxi home. I began to feel afraid. Where am I? At Eric’s terrace house only his parents were waiting for us. They were about my grandmother’s age. Half an hour later after our arrival, all Eric’s sisters and their boy friends came back to the house. I later understood that they did not want to make me feel uneasy by meeting all the family members at one time and so they deliberately delayed coming back home to meet me. That was a little relief, knowing their true and “good” intention, but still I felt strange.

My first culture shock came when I found myself not able to communicate with Eric’s parents. The father spoke Mandarin and the mother spoke only Hainanese. This was a shock to me as I thought I was a culturally adaptable, having lived alone in the States for many years

The second cultural shock came soon when I found the toilet adjacent to the kitchen area. This shock had a long lasting impact as every time we eat at the kitchen at his house I lost appetite quickly, being aware of the toilet location. If I could hear the flushing sound, that’s it. I would not eat any more!

Be Prepared For Tropical Living

But the most unbearing thing about Singapore in the initial period was the heat in the air. I could not stand the heat. I could not wear anything but cotton material no sleeve clothes only. This lasted a couple of years. I told myself no way I would wear polyester clothes which Singaporeans liked. All I wore in those initial years were either from Japan or hand made in cotton. I could not wear ready made clothes.

That first night, in Singapore, I stayed awake a whole night. Early in the morning, I heard a rooster crow. Yes, there were roosters crowing in Japan. But I was a city girl, I didn’t grow up with the roosters. I looked out of the window and saw an Indian man riding a bicycle. It was exotic, all right. But that was not what I had expected.

At the end of 3-week stay in my first visit to Singapore, I told Eric that I wanted to cancel the whole thing as I did not like Singapore. These initial cultural shocks were so great that it took me some time to open myself to Singapore, especially to Eric’s family. I knew their good hearts, yet, this feeling that they would never understand that I am Japanese persisted for many years.

If you give your marriage no attention; you will hardly have a marriage. If you give your marriage mediocre attention, you will have a mediocre marriage. If you make it a priority and give it regular, positive attention, it will thrive. Maybe it is time to “spring clean” your marriage.

To bring a fresh new energy to your marriage try doing all or some of the following:

1. Make a commitment to go on a “date-night” once a week. By spending time alone together on a regular basis will rejuvenate your marriage

2. Tell your spouse all the wonderful things you wish they would say to
you.

3. Create a new script for them by writing in detail what you believe your ideal companion would be like. Live by that script yourself.

4. Ask each other what one thing you say or do that hurts them deeply. Choose never to say or do it again.

5. Stop talking about what’s not working or what you don’t want. Start talking about what’s working and what you want more of.

6. Choose to say only positive things to others about your spouse.

7. If you find you create conflict at the same time or place in your home, start clearing the patterns by noticing it and stopping it. For example, if you always fight about money in the evening in the bedroom, agree not to recreate that again. Talk about money Saturday morning as you go for a walk together. Set an intention. It will be a harmonious, successful experience.

8. For husbands offer to take the kids for a few hours next Saturday, and give your wife a gift certificate to her favorite place to be pampered.

9. For wives, take your sexual experience off your to-do list. In my therapy practice I have worked with many wives who feel having sex with their husband is a chore and just one more thing “to-do” like making dinner, or
bathing the kids, etc. If you choose to participate in sex, do it first for yourself and choose to really enjoy it. You will offer more to your husband in a positive experience with this fresh mindset

10. Play together often. Take a trip for just the two of you once a year.

Many people who have been married several years begin to take their marriage and their spouse for granted. Bad habits and lazy attitudes that would have never been acted out in their courtship days have taken over. How fresh and vital is your marriage?

How much respect, tenderness, and unconditional love do you exemplify towards your spouse daily? Marriage is a sacred relationship that demands constant attention on our part in order to thrive.

Marriage is our modern-day temple, which we enter into to bring up all of our issues so we can be purified and return to a state of wholeness. Add to the beauty and reverence of your marriage by treating yourself and your spouse like a god that you humbly revere and adore, because that is who you both truly are. Sanctify your marriage with God’s help and it can be one of your greatest treasures on earth.

Marriage is the ultimate relationship you could ever enter. It’s more than a bond between a man and woman, it’s a joining of souls. With the current trend of marriages dissolving nowadays, especially because of infidelity, the question that nags both men and women the world over is: will it last? Whether you’re legally married or just cohabiting, admit it, the question of keeping your partner faithful is tugging at your heart. But what exactly does it take to keep your man or your woman?

Is it keeping your muscles so tight that your neck looks like it would pop a vein any moment now? Is it keeping your nose at an angle that would burst balloons? The good news is, it actually doesn’t have to be as costly as any of that. The better news is that one way to cheat-proof your marriage is actually so simple that you can do it effortlessly. With practice, that is.

And what is that, you ask? It’s having realistic expectations.

One of the causes that a partner will want to stray is that the emotional climate in the marriage is already stifling. One major factor that encourages a suffocating climate in a marriage is that one or both spouses have undue demands on the other, that the other simply can’t meet because it’s not in his or her nature. The root of this is that reality does not line up with the partner’s expectations of the other, and vice-versa. If you seek to keep your spouse from straying, you have to remember to keep it real. Have realistic expectations.

How do you acquire realistic expectations? Simple. The basic thing to keep in mind is that no one person can meet all your needs, all the time. This simply means that you shouldn’t let yourself believe that once you’re married, you will be in total bliss. This simply means that you have to realize that there is no such thing as a totally perfect fit to your personality. Your spouse may want to watch sports sometimes, and you won’t be able to pry him away from that, even if you really, really ache to go shopping.

So what can you do to encourage having realistic expectations? You have to remind yourself constantly to give your spouse some space. If your spouse cannot meet your need now, use your own emotional resources, or go look for a same-sex friend to keep you occupied for the moment. Learn not to resent those times when he or she cannot provide what you need. But in case you do resent it, always remember to go back and talk with your spouse how you felt, in a calm and rational way. You can talk about how to work around filling each other’s needs according to each other’s capacities.

Another thing you have to remember is that your personal happiness is your own responsibility. You are the captain of your ship. You may not hold the actions of others, or how circumstances will go, but you do hold the decision of how you’ll react to these actions or circumstances.

You simply cannot expect another person to keep you absolutely happy all the time. When you do that, you are turning into an emotional vampire, feeding into someone’s emotional resources just to keep yourself emotionally stable.

What you can do to remedy this is to read up on how to boost your self-esteem, on how to be emotionally self-sufficient. You have to develop emotional tools to cope with feelings of insecurity or instability. You cannot expect that people will adjust to you all the time, or that your spouse will baby you forever. You have to realize that a relationship is a mutual effort, that you have to put in as much as you take out of it. You cannot give what you don’t have. So if you have such low self-esteem and low to zero love for yourself, you cannot expect to be able to have the emotional reserves with which to nurture your spouse.

So what is that bottom line to cheat-proof your marriage? Keep a healthy emotional climate in your partnership. This starts by keeping healthy expectations towards your spouse, which starts in keeping yourself emotionally secure, and keeping your self-esteem balanced.

You are starting to feel that something’s not exactly right in your relationship. And you fear the worst – your partner is having an affair. But for various reasons, you might not feel right in hiring a detective to confirm it. Would you give you up and just wait for the inevitable something to happen or would you like to find out for yourself if it’s true? Contrary to the popular cliche, the partner can be the FIRST to know. Other than the very obvious physical changes you can readily notice, you can try these simple strategies:

• Notice changes in his/her attitude – Did he/she suddenly become vague about appointments or is suddenly coming up with conferences at short notices? Was there a change in the way he/she treats you and the kids? Do you still get a straight answer when you ask why the late hours? More importantly, do you still get eye contact when you get an answer? Whatever major changes in life that a person makes will be manifested in the physical. For such a drastic move as having an affair, the conscience still makes itself heard. You’ll see the tell-tale evasiveness; the difference in the way he/she talks or acts; even the lack of eye contact. Not many people can look straight into another person’s eyes when they are guilty.

• Get somebody else to find out for you – You must know someone that your partner works with or even friends he goes out with. If you’re in good enough terms, try asking about it. It could be as direct as ‘do you know if he’s having an affair?’ or as roundabout as ‘who does he go with when they have seminars?’ Be prepared for the answer and confirm what they tell you to be on the safe side. For all you know, your informant is the other side of the guilty party as well!

• Check your finances – There are very few things in life that will not leave a paper trail – an illicit affair is NOT one of them. See if there are withdrawals that you didn’t know about. Start noting the items on your credit card bills. If you see items that does not make sense – like a bill from a gas station when he/she was supposed to be in London for a seminar. Or charges from a hotel or a store that you don’t recall hearing about. You have every right to call these establishments about the charges. In some instances, you might even get more information that what you’ve been trying to dig up – like a dress size for instance.

Again, you can be the first to know – all it takes is a few leads.

Don’t give up on your marriage. Even if your partner had cheated on you once, it won’t happen again if you will do the right things and say the right words. Sometimes, people cheat not because they don’t love their partners; there are times they do it because something is lacking in the person they adore. Be everything for your partner.
