Engagement Rings: Picking Your Most Desired Ring

By Dave Harfield

When a man has made the decision to propose to the woman in his life, there will be a million and one thoughts racing through his mind; the most pressing one will probably be, will she say yes?! However, another important consideration will be the type of ring that he chooses, as this is integral to the entire proposal.



Picking the best ring to suit your purposes is a tricky business and without the right guidance it can be a veritable minefield of shapes, sizes, not to mention price tags. Some men will have the useful guidance of their future wife actually choosing the ring for them, yet for the more romantic grooms-to-be that are out there, here are some tips on choosing the best engagement ring.

The first thing to work out is how much money you are willing to part with for the engagement ring; it is going to be tempting to spend as much as you can on the ring, however this may not leave you with enough for a decent honeymoon!

Traditionally, it is thought that two months salary is a good guide as to how much you should spend on an engagement ring, although it can be safely assumed that your fiancee would not complain if you spent a little more...!

Pick a reasonable bracket that you are willing to spend within and try to stick to that as much as possible; of course, if a real bargain comes up then you should definitely snap it up immediately and on the other hand, if there is a ring that you are aware of that would make your fiancee overjoyed that is a little out of your price range, then it is probably worth saving for.

Once you have decided on your price range, it's time to get researching; compare the entire market, from thrift shops to fancy jewellers and consider every ring going. A useful little tip is that real bargains can now be found in online jewellers, with many sites offering discounts for buying online.

To narrow down the options for engagement rings, try and find out what type of metal your future wife likes the most; this can be done by rooting through her jewellery collection or confiding in one of her friends and getting her to act as a spy...just make sure you can really trust them not to spill the beans.

It may sound cheesy and a little 'Hollywood', but if you have put as much love, care and attention into choosing the ring as you have your relationship, then you will definitely make the right choice, as the most important element of choosing an engagement ring is that you put your whole heart into it.

In Praise Of The Good Mate

By Astrid Engels

When we have a new partner we usually can't stop ourselves from singing their praises. New love is a wonderful thing, even though we may drive our friends crazy because we go on and on and on. Too much information? Yes, but we just can't help ourselves.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if things stayed like that? It would, but hey, things change. Sometimes these changes are for the good, and sometimes for the bad.

If we fast forward a few month or even years, the change is remarkable. Where we used to rant and rave about our partner's wonderful side, now we complain to our friends. We complain about what our partner does and doesn't do, what he or she says or doesn't say; the list is endless.

Relationship disappointments are inevitable. Your partner will say something that hurts you and there will be days when you're tempted to call the whole thing off. So how about changing that around and concentrating not just on the negatives when talking to your friends, but also the positive.

Just as we strive for a work and family life balance, we should also strive for balance in our relationship. While venting to a partner about the sore points is advisable, you need to balance that with the positive things in your relationship. Too much of either creates an imbalance for growth and the wrong balance could cause your relationship to collapse.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't share either the good or the bad about your mate with your friends. But a little restraint goes a long way. You need to think about when to share and how much to share. Take a deep breath and give it some thought before your mouth runs away with itself.

Thinking before speaking accomplishes two things. One, it provides insight about your situation and allows you to get to the heart of the matter. Trust your instincts. Second, after you've thought about it and you're still feeling unsettled, then you can make the decision to talk to someone.

When this happens, talk about the situation but balance it with positive information as well as complaints about your mate. Giving both sides helps the person listening not just take your side. Sometimes the person listening will be able to find the positive and give you a way to praise your mate. Remember, there was something special about them that made you date them in the first place. Keeping this in mind will help you be able to approach what is going on with an open mind.

Dating A Very Good Looking Person And Trying Not To Be Insecure

By Astrid Engels

How much would you like to bet that Brad and Angelina don't suffer from this particular insecurity. They're both extremely good looking people. Millions of readers around the world have cast their votes on gossip websites and in well known magazines making this a global good looking couple.

Even if they were single, they would have more than enough suitors after them and would have it easy and may not have to consider internet dating as a resource unless they chose to do so.

Normally two good-looking people always grab the crowds' attention, but what happens when you are the one dating a drop dead gorgeous mate? How would you handle it? Also if this has happened to you, did you handle it well?

When I was younger, I did date a man who was very handsome. There were even times I thought to myself, what was he doing with me? I mean, I was cute, but only in a girl next door way. He, on the other hand was quite good looking; very good looking to be exact. When we were together women would swoon. Guys would even look as we walked by.

The funny thing is that instead of looking at me, they were looking at him. We dated for a short while then we broke up. I was sad but quite happy. I soon realized that I was too insecure to date someone so smashing looking and just not ready to cross over to that world.

When I stop and think about it, his looks weren't the issue. How I dealt with them was. He was just a nice guy looking for love and he obviously found me attractive enough to date. I'd dreamed about the man with movie star looks since I was a teen, but now that I'd found him I didn't know what to do with him. I couldn't enjoy him for the funny person he was; his looks got in the way.

Now that I'm older of course I realize how silly I was back then. Although looks are the first thing we notice when we meet someone it's personality and common interests that will take a relationship to the next level.

Interestingly enough, I have another opportunity to put my confidence to the test. I've just started dating someone who's even better looking than the other one. When we're out in public I hold his hand with confidence and smile when the ladies swoon. He's just as handsome inside as out. And the confidence that shows on my outside is also present on the inside.

Step-By-Step Guide To Saving A Relationship

By Kim Sanchez

Jim and Lisbet are having problems with time management. Both of them feel that they are neglected by the other. Lisbet takes care of the children, while Jim has too much work in his hands. Will they be able to save this relationship? Is it worth saving the relationship? read on to learn how to save the relationship.

The first thing that you need to do is make up your mind. Ask yourself, is the relationship worth saving at all? The important thing in saving a relationship is that both parties want to work hard to save it. If the other one is not too thrilled to save the relationship, then how can it work?

Many people stay in a relationship because it is convenient or remain in a marriage because of the children. But that is not enough. How to save a relationship starts with a commitment by both parties that the relationship is worth saving.

The other thing that you need to know is that problems in a relationship is not the problem themselves. So home in on the core of the problem. Seek it out and flush it.

For instance, many people think an affair is a problem that causes break ups. In truth, the affair is a symptom of a deeper problem. For instance, a lack of true intimacy can lead to a straying spouse. While most people look at the affair as the problem, the underlying cause of the affair was the lack of intimacy in the primary relationship. If you do not deal with the lack of intimacy, you might be able to keep another affair from starting through the use of guilt, but another problem (for instance pornography) could pop up because you haven't dealt with the core issue.

So talk about the fundamental issues that needs to be addressed so you can save the relationship.

After you have targeted the fundamental problems you have to begin communicating your feelings to your partner. You can touch your partner, hold hands, as if you are trying to say that you want to reconnect with him or her. During the conversation, keep your emotions at check. You might hear some hurtful things, but bear in mind that your partner is not there to hurt you but to communicate with you.

When you have finished with your heart to heart talk. You need to plan a course of action and execute it. If you have time management problems then make time for each other. If you have communication problems, then spare 20 minutes every night to talk before going to sleep.

Last but not the least, you have to bear in mind that fixing a relationship is an on going process that can take a long time, lot's of laughter, and lots of tears as well. Stop blaming your partner and be quick to apologize if you are at fault.

Wedding Vows Involving Kids

By Dr. David Trumble

Youngsters are always important considerations, but when you decide you want to get married, the Youngsters you already have become even more important.

If the Children are left out of the wedding, they feel omitted.

If the Children are forced to participate in some awkward manner, the Youngsters resent it.

There are no rules, no easy prescriptions. There are only very sensitive feelings and a need to launch a family. There are, however, some practical considerations.

Begin the process of building appropriate relationships by considering the capabilities, needs, and desires of Children and adults. Youngsters do not have the maturity or experience to deal with adult situations, therefore, adults must be supportive of their emotional needs.

To foster a positive healthy family environment, the adults need to sort out their own feelings, values, priorities, desires, and relationships apart from the Children. Then once the adults have mature understanding of themselves, they are in a position to relate to the Children.

Kids do not want to be ignored, overlooked, or abandoned. They look to the adults in their lives to provide security, stability, love, and acceptance.

Prevent problems by building positive relationships with the Children. Help the Children accept the new adults in their lives before wedding pressures develop.

The goal of any couple with Children planning to marry is to create a family where each member of the family feels loved, accepted, appreciated, and secure as part of the family. Dysfunctional families are no fun for anyone. When the family shares their hopes, dreams, and plans; everyone is blessed.

Approach the wedding with caution. Build a solid foundation by establishing positive connection with each family member. This will foster positive family relationships.

This is where wedding vows involving Children comes in.

Todd is an eight year old boy whose mother has been dating for several months and wants to get married. She and her gentleman friend are concerned about Todds response.

After talking about the situation for a few minutes, I suggested that a meeting be planned that included the boy. At the meeting, we would discuss the upcoming wedding.

A few weeks passed and the couple arrived with their little boy. We sat down and discussed the relationships between Todd and the groom. Both expressed positive feelings and set the stage for positive developments. Then we discussed ways to involve Todd in the wedding. There were many options: ring bearer ( a little old), junior usher, or possibly Todd could actually participate in the wedding as a member of the new family.

It was decided that Todd would be included in the wedding ceremony by creating special vows for him.

Here is the set of wedding vows involving Children:

Bride: Because I love you, Todd, I ask that you accept Charles as my husband and your step father. I promise that I will always love, protect, and cherish you.

Groom: Todd, I have promised to love your mother, but I now pledge to love you as my son. I promise to provide for you, protect you, and encourage you to become everything you desire.

Todd: Thank you Mom and (name) for loving me. I want you to be my parents and I will do my best to honor you as my parents.

The words vary from situation to situation, but the love of family always draws people together. Acceptance, forgiveness, understanding, and consideration foster a positive wedding and build a stronger family.

Healing A Broken Heart And Forgetting About The Relationship

By Nikki Frost

When healing a broken heart, you need to accept that change in our relationships and in our lives is as inevitable as the sun rising in the morning and setting in the evening. Most of us go through one or several breakups or lose our partner during our lifetime.

A breakup can be very painful, so here are 4 steps to healing a broken heart and embracing the change in your life.

1- Come to terms with Realities.

Sometimes when big events happen in our lives, in healing a broken heart we prefer to avoid the truth and deny that anything has happened, instead of accepting the changes.

Susan resisted the idea of divorce, and would do anything to keep her marriage together. Her husband, unfortunately, who didn't believe in therapy, and was tired of the constant therapy, was in favor of a divorce. Instead of breaking away from a partner who did not believe in the bond of marriage with her, Susan foolishly held on to it.

I am not to be misunderstood that I am a staunch advocate for break-up. Actually, I am a great believer in faith and rekindling lost love. What I'm trying to say is that to mend a broken heart, Susan was denying the change around her, instead of accepting that her marriage was over.

2. Learn from what happened

In order to heal your broken heart, you will need to view every relationship and breakup as an experience to be learned from. We should take lesson from other's experiences that frequently people get separated from their lover just for not being in touch and if any such thing happens we should be prepared to accept the truth. Following these steps will either win your ex back and or help you be a better person for your next partner.

3. Be in gratitude for what was

When you are grateful for everything that happens to you, it makes you capable of healing a broken heart. Remember that you have been shaped by friends, family, ex- lovers, and all prior experiences.

A number of people have learned that showing gratitude helped in healing a broken heart after a dramatic breakup changed their lives.

4 - Watch this and decide where you want to be in the future.

Whether you are in an unhappy relationship and want to make it work, or going through a breakup, you need to take the time to decide what you really want in life. Ask yourself: "What is one small step I can take now that will help me get to where I want to be?" Once you know what that step is, do it and you will find it easier in healing a broken heart and moving towards a brighter future.

Everybody goes through drastic change in their lives, including breakups. Hopefully these steps will help you in healing a broken heart and opening up to a world of endless love and possibilities.

Relationship Help On Forgiving

By Lexi S Delane

Upsets and irritations will occur in relationships. Our mate will be rude to us, or yell at us, or be unthoughtful in some ways. It's gonna happen. If we can't let it go, then we have a problem.

You know, we keep thinking about how they said that to us, or they didn't call us to tell us they'd be late, or they snapped at us and didn't apologize. Things will happen in a committed relationship between two people that are unpleasant. If we keep thinking about and getting upset about it, the damage to the relationship grows.

Thus, forgiveness. It is necessary to keep relationships from spiraling out of love.

But how can you forgive when what happened is so upsetting and keeps replaying in your mind? How can you let it go when it won't let you go?

One way to forgive is to practice not taking what they did so personally. This will help you to let go of it more readily.

How do you not take it personally when they yelled at you? Well, understand that they are doing the best they can. But like all of us, they get irritated or bothered about things and explode from time to time. You just happened to be the person there they could vent some frustration towards.

If you start to consider that it wasn't about you, even though they yelled at you, then you can begin to have room to let it go. Learning to let go is the key to forgiveness. Whatever you have to do to do that is the skill you want to practice. They were rude to you happened. But how you respond, how long you carry around your anger or hurt, is up to you. You can let go of your anger with a little practice.

You don't have to forgive. But have you noticed that if you don't forgive, you are the one who is hurt? You are the one who is filled with anger and irritation? Learning to let go and forgive helps you, which helps your relationship.

Get Your Ex Boyfriend Back Forever

By Alice Michaels

Every relationship is unique and special; there is not one specific answer to the question of how to get your ex boyfriend back. That said, there are some general rules and guidelines that when followed, will greatly help you in your quest to reunite with your love.

Splitting up is hard on both of you! But men express their emotions differently than women do. So dont be upset if he appears to be totally nonplussed by the fact that the two of you have separated; it may just be an act on his part. Breaking up is hard! Its painful, and its confusing. Breaking up is emotionally exhausting and sometimes it can even be humiliating. What you need to try to remember when you are thinking of ways to get your ex boyfriend back is that you are not alone in feeling down in the dumps: he is probably feeling just as badly as you are right now!

In order to ever really be successful in getting your ex boyfriend back, you have to be able to face the truth. You need to be able to face the pain and be 100% honest with yourself about how you two went wrong. Why did you go off track? Where? When? When did you first start to feel that something between you was going wrong, and why did the cracks in your relationship start to form?

You must remember that the fault never belongs to only one person in the break up. What part did he play? What part did you play in the break up? Where did the communication break down? What was the final straw? The truth is that it doesnt even matter who left who; what matters is why.

Once you have determined the true reasons for the break up, you have to be honest with yourself again and really think about how much about yourself and your behaviors you are able and willing to change in order to make the relationship work. Leave the mistakes of the past in the past and move forward. Do not hold grudges; do not bring up past mistakes.

When you have assessed your part in the break up, go to him and without judgment or accusation, talk to him about your feelings and your hopes for the future.

Learn About Safety And Further Concerns About Online Dating

By Patricia K Johnson

You may have some concerns about attempting online dating services. However, online dating is certainly growing and now is the best time yet to get online and find someone to date casually or for a long-term relationship because more folks are joining these sites on a daily basis.

You may doubt if you can have confidence in an online dating service because stories about crimes and fraud happening on the Internet abound. However, online dating has in fact become safer in the last few years. Even so, though, it is important to be careful when encountering an individual online and take your own security measures.

There have been some safety measures that have been implemented by online dating sites. These days many of the most popular dating sites on the Internet require a criminal background test. While this measure is, of course, not foolproof, it should still give you some harmony of mind knowing that the person you are chatting to is probably not an out and out lawbreaker.

You can locate some dating websites that are operated for at no cost for the customer. But if protection is one of your major anxieties, you may be prudent to look at a service that charges a fee. Most of the people at those websites are perhaps pretty genuine about meeting people and they are not just playing around.

Most of the very greatest services have selections in which you can be in touch via talking or email with other members before you release any of your individual information. This protects your personal confidentiality and keeps your information classified until you know that you can trust the other individual. Just like dating in real life, you wouldn't want people to know where you live and work unless you know who they are.

You will also be requested to complete a personality profile on most of the excellent sites. These are very useful because they can help you get hooked up with individuals who share your interests. Since there are millions of people participating in online dating this can essentially save you a great deal of time by helping you to stay away from the folks with whom you have nothing in common.

There are many distinctive dating sites out there and many of them function very differently. Some of the sites will allow you to glance through the profiles of other members on your own, while others do the matchmaking for you. And then of course, there are many websites that cater to a limited niche, for example, a service for people over 40, or for people involved in fitness or a specific religion. There is something for everyone.

Before signing up, however, it is wise to scrutinize many of the websites and check them out meticulously. There is often a good deal of great information on dating review websites that can give you a good general idea. Just check them out before you join up so that you can be sure that all of your wants and requirements are met.

1. If you've been in the relationship a long time and you're certain of the answer then why not have an instant wedding? The laws in Hawaii are very lenient for this, though you'll need to organize things with a good hotel and the tourist board! Propose at dinner and when she accepts, start the wedding on the spot! You'll need her friends and family involved!

2. Buy her three red roses. The first represents the past, the second the present and the final rose which has the ring tied to it is the future!

3. Arrange to go to a luxury spa for the full treatment followed by a private photo shoot in your best outfits. During the shoot go down on one knee and propose, you'll have the photos forever! Then go to a top restaurant followed by a night at a luxury hotel!

4. Arrange to meet your lady in the park at lunch time! Arrive a few minutes late wearing a suit of armour and riding a horse. Have a nearby friend in some bushes playing Holsts "Jupiter" as you arrive! Swing from the horse and offer to be her prince!

5. Pick her up from work in a rented limo. Present her with a red rose and her favourite outfit to change into. Drive to the best restaurant in town and have them serve you in the limo! Play romantic music and propose over champagne for desert.

6. Go for a walk past the location where you first met. Eat the first meal you ever made for her where you had your first ever picnic. Propose while listening to your first every song!

7. Take her blindfolded to a lovely idyllic setting you've already scoped out! It could be by a lake or river! When you reveal where you are make sure you have a nice picnic set up with all her favourite food. You could hide a bottle of champagne in the water!

He Wants More Space - How To Get Him Back

By Maja

More or less everyone has encountered a dominant relationship in their life, when rapidly all which seems so great has broken off because your boyfriend needs space. There are numbers of countless reasons for why a boyfriend swiftly needs space, as well as family problems, insecurities, or a fear of commitment just to name a few. Here are some files for answering the age old "how to get my ex back" query if your ex boyfriend requires more room.

- You don't want to lose your pride or to authorize him to get the top of you - But evidently you are still deeply in love with him. To begin with, it may be just right to play a little bit hard to get, in order to prove to him that it was his loss and not yours.

- If you are feeling like your ex boyfriend still has feelings for you, then it may be ideal for you to strike up a conversation with him. Keep communication to a minimum in order to keep the level of drama to a minimum. Short text messages, brief phone calls and online conversations in passing are all a great way to remind him how much he wants to be a part of your life without overwhelming him with your presence when he may actually want and need space.

- Eventually he will begin to show significant interest in you again if all goes well, and this will give you the chance to truly begin to reminisce with him. Keep in mind that you should focus primarily on all of the good memories associated with your relationship in the past. While rekindling a relationship with your ex boyfriend, you are going to want to stay away from the bad experiences and negative experiences in case they conjure bad feelings and undo your hard work.

- If your boyfriend is not responding to your slow and subtle advances, you need to take it for what it is. Either he just really is not interested in you right now, or he really does just need space and you should give it to him. But if on the other hand he seems to be interested in you more than before, or is slowly warming up to you again, then you should continue gradually advancing on him to rekindle the relationship.

- If your ex boyfriend is giving you the right signals, you can try to open your heart up to him. Let him know how you feel, but avoid looking desperate or needy in the process. If your ex is showing you that he is thinking about rekindling things, then it would be healthy to be open with him. But if his signals are pointing in the other direction, it may be wiser to step back and let things happen more naturally.

These are just the initial steps in attracting your Ex back. They are the initial steps I pursued when I lost the love of my life. And honestly these aren't my innovative ideas. I turned to T 'Dub' Jackson when I had no clue of how to get my true love back.

T 'Dub' created a plain, down to earth step by step plan called "The Magic of Making Up". And you know, it effect like magic for us. Now we are more in love than ever.

How Do You Understand Male Habits?

By Alan Bentley

Why is it that those male habits can be so irritating? Sometimes it is difficult to understand why they are so different to us women, as we are all supposed to be from the same race! We act and behave certain ways, yet they seem to do the most amazing things, when we least expect it. How are we supposed to understand this baffling behavior and react to it?

Why is it that on the occasions when you enjoy relationships in bed, guys seem to want to make a marathon competition out of it. It appears that they cannot enjoy the situation unless it is a lengthy affair. Such male habits can be difficult to break and you may have to set up an earthy conversation with him, reassuring that it is okay to complete without making it become an abnormally lengthy affair.

As guys are growing up, male habits are ingrained. It is usual for them to take tips from society in general, which tells them that they must be the provider and always successful. If you watch them when they are playing sports in college or school you will see that they really do not like to be on the losing side, while they should really take into account that participation is the main goal. However, you could use some of that extra testosterone to your own good after the game is over!

If you are in the early stages of a relationship, you may become surprised how he loses interest in intimate matters rather quickly. This is just one of those male habits again. They may in fact start to view sex as a task rather than an enjoyment, where the goal is to achieve satisfaction and move on to the next job of the day!

As a guy, you're not supposed to spend an inordinate amount of time preparing yourself or looking after yourself. From the time of their youth, this is one of the male habits that is caused by the notion that if you do, this is far too "feminine." They will invariably go out of their way so that they are not seen in this light.

When you spend some time with your newfound love interest at his home, you may be very surprised to see that he does not appear to have as much interest in keeping the place or his surroundings as clean as you would. Traditionally, male habits call for a minimum amount of work in this respect. They just want to get by and pay more attention to the more important things in their lives, such as a career, sports, etc.

If you attribute most of the male habits that you will come up against as just unique to them, you will find that it becomes just a fun part of getting to know someone and establishing a relationship. Even though they can be frustrating, essentially you can live with them.

Life is definitely a two-way street and for a relationship to work it takes flexibility on both sides. Male habits may be particularly annoying, frustrating or unbelievable, but don't forget that your guy may well be looking at you and wondering about all those female habits as well.

Want To Start Charging For Wedding Photography

By Sally Wong

You are creating something that people will keep for years to come. You are capturing a very special moment in people's lives. Your clients - the bride and groom to be - will want the best and will want the quality guaranteed. If you are a photographer you might want to consider photographing weddings because there is a lot of money to be made by doing them. With the money comes the risk which you must manage well.

A disclaimer should be included in a well written up first time contract. If you don't have a disclaimer you could be sued afterwards. There are a few reason you should not be held accountable for and they are failure of equipment, miss placed pictures after they were sent away, and photos that do not develop properly. Otherwise you could get sued for breach of contract.

Now with that said you should also include how many pictures are to be taken and how long you will be photographing for and what hourly rate will be. Something else you should include would be the fees for developing and the fee of the album. Make sure you discuss with your clients what their requirements are. There could be a particular family member that they want photographed separately, or a certain group of people they do not get to see very often.

Your clients will probably request certain photographs so make sure you make a list. Generally your clients will want pictures of the pre-ceremony, wedding ceremony, post-ceremony and of course the reception. Discuss with the clients about which shots they want and who's going to be in the pictures. Not every client will be the same so pay attention to what they are saying.

A deposit should be made after you book your clients in. Most people will pay you 50% prior to the wedding and the remaining afterwards. You should set a date when the remaining amount will be paid because you do not want to be bothering the bride and groom during the reception for payment! It would look very unprofessional if you did.

Photoshop is a good program to use if you are going to be processing the pictures yourself. Flaw removal, montage, and changing the color are a few of the enhancements you can use with Photoshop.

Always look to see how you can add more value than what you said you would give. A special surprise will keep everyone talking and generating more business for you in the future. Think different. Imagine for example if you uploaded all their pictures onto a password protected part of your website so that they and their friends can login and view.

In the end doing bridal photography can be lucrative and fun as long as you build on your people skills.
