1  Forum / Relationships & Romance / How to find your soul mate on: 18-06-2013 08:56 PM


When I talked about how to find a soul mate/the one, I am talking nothing but the process by which you can follow in order to have someone you want in life. Before that I want you to know that if you’re still single not yet married or involved in any relationship, know that it does not matter how your facial features are or how your appearance is.

This has nothing to do with it. It’s just because you have not yet met the right partner and this is what I am going to discuss today in this article.
Why can’t I fall in love with someone?

Why am I not meeting the right people? Why can’t I fall in love with someone? Before you can understand this process better, you must know why we fall in love only with certain people and not just anyone. For example, if you were looking for a soul mate and found someone (the opposite sex) even being so nice and loving, you won't fall for him if he does not match your soul mate criteria.

2  Forum / Sports / How to increase bone density on: 17-06-2013 06:32 PM


When we think of the bones in our body, images of human skeletons made of dead bones often come to mind. It is important to remember that the bones inside your body are not dead; they are made of living tissue that is constantly being destroyed and rebuilt. As you age, bone deterioration starts to surpass growth rate, causing a decrease in bone density. Taking steps to increase your bone mass and density throughout your life decreases your chances of osteoporosis, bone breaks and fractures as you age.
Ways to increase bone density

Get 30 minutes of weight bearing exercise daily: When muscles are exercised they pull on the bones they are attached to. This pulling action builds bone tissue, so weight bearing exercises build stronger, denser bones.

Building bone mass before age 30 is beneficial later in life when bones are breaking down, but weight bearing exercise throughout life helps to maintain bone density.

Weight bearing exercises include weight lifting, running, step aerobics and any activity that requires your body to work against gravity, thereby creating resistance.
Unlike aerobic exercise, weight bearing exercise does not need to be done all at once to be beneficial. Doing 10 minutes of weight bearing exercise 3 times a day is equally as beneficial as a half-hour work out.

Eat a healthy diet to increase bone density: To build bone material your body needs calcium and vitamin D. In addition to calcium, your bones are 1/3 collagen, a protein that gives bones flexibility and minimizes breakage.

3  Forum / Sports / How to lose weight quick on: 17-06-2013 03:00 PM


For some people, losing weight can seem impossible. Maybe you've tried over and over again and you only lose one pound a week, or maybe you try but you end up giving in. With this guide, you'll find out how to lose weight fast and tips and tricks to keep you on track. So say goodbye to low numbers and say hello to high numbers!
Have The Mindset

Have confidence: Without confidence you won't be able to do it. Remember, if someone else can do it, so can you! You have the same body parts! Believe that you can do it, and you can do anything.

Don't let others bring you down!: If you do, it'll cause stress, and stress isn't good for losing weight. Who cares what someone else thinks? In the end, you'll feel great because you lost the weight, and they'll feel stupid for thinking you couldn't.
Food and Drink

Count your calories: Carry around a little notebook and write down everything you consume, from sugar packets to coke to that salad you had earlier. Count it. There are online calorie counters that will tell you how many calories you consumed for the day. This is important, because if you don't count, you won't know how many calories you've consumed, so you won't know how much to exercise, and really if you don't count your calories then you're going to be disappointed with your weight loss and probably want to give up. So count your calories!

Have you ever been in a relationship and you later realize it’s time to propose marriage to her? What will you say? Where will you say it? How will you propose to her? Will she accept my proposal or not? These are common question that occupies the mind of many and how they will go through the marriage proposal successful.

In this article I will let you know how you will carry on a successful marriage proposal and the answers to the above questions will be a matter of the past.

These four little words “Will You Marry Me?" will change your life! So how should you start the rest of your life? You do NOT want to blow it. Could you imagine sitting on the couch together, watching television and eating popcorn, when you pull out a ring and say, "Well...I, uh...really, really like you. Do you...want to, you know...marry me?" This is all WRONG! There are hundreds of ways you can propose but there are a few basic things that you will need to make it amazing!

Location:This will determine almost all of the other things you need. Where will you be? Are you going to take a stroll down the beach? Maybe you could go to her favorite restaurant. What if you decided to go on a rowboat ride to a secluded island? The sky is the limit! (Unless of course, you went up in a hot-air balloon together.)

5  Forum / Relationships & Romance / Why most teenage marriages fail on: 13-06-2013 04:32 PM
If you look around, you will notice that people now have different perspectives about marriage life. Some imagine it to be a romantic fantasy. Others head for the alter because they want to appear grown up in the eyes of others. Yet others simply want to escape a bad situation at home, or in the society. Marriage should not be a fantasy or a cure for problems.

Unrealistic expectations

Another problem that faces teenage marriage couples is when they have unrealistic or poor education about marriage. An example is Mark and Delphine. After they had divorced, they were both asked same question. They admitted that, they had very poor idea what marriage was all about.

6  Forum / Relationships & Romance / 16 things to consider when planning a wedding on: 13-06-2013 02:23 PM
Before accepting the responsibility of being married they are number of things you need to put into consideration in order to enjoy a happy married life and to avoid the saying “had I known”. After you must have accepted the proposal “will you married me” I believe your positive respond means s/he most have match all the qualities of a good partner and you are certain that you have found your soul mate.

planning the wedding is not an easy task and it can be quite stressful. The key is to stay organized. Here are 16 things to consider when planing your wedding
how to plan the wedding

    Decide on the size of your wedding: Remember to talk this over with your partner. A dream wedding for one may not be for the other. Choose your venue. Even church venues can charge fees.
    Set the date: The factors in choosing a date include the availability of your venue, friends and family. Think about who you must have at your wedding, and try to set the date around them.
    Budget yourself: you should plan how much you want to spend on each detail of your wedding, and make sure you don't exceed that amount. In some cases but not all, parents of the bride or groom will offer to pay for specific things.
    Choose a theme: It doesn't have to be anything really specific, but you want there to be a consistent feeling throughout. Make sure the theme is easy to plan and decorate. Everything should be consistent with the theme.
    Choose your officiant (a pastor, or rabbi for example): If they don't charge a fee outright to perform the ceremony, be courteous to pay a generous gratuity for their time. Attend pre-marriage counseling. (optional) This may take a large time commitment, but is worth it in the long-run. Be honest about your desires and expectations for marriage.
    print out invitations: Be creative; you can make your own and add a personal touch or go to a professional. Send them as early as feasible, for yours to make schedule arrangements. (If Jewish, make sure to get kippots made)
    Select wedding rings: This is a fun task to do together, and symbolizes your devotion and love to each other. Most couples get matching rings to show that they complete one another's soul.
    Get the gown: Start looking early, months before the wedding. This way you will have plenty of time to make a selection and take care of fitting. In most religions, it is traditional that the mother of both the groom, and bride comes to find the dress, as well as the maid of honour.
    Find a photographer/videographer: Consider a professional for this special occasion, and make sure that they are reliable so that you don't have to worry about forgetting your wedding, for years to come.
    Decide what type of food and refreshments you will offer: Try to find a happy medium between what would please your guests and what you can afford. Weigh the pros and cons of hiring a professional caterer, as it's not cheap, but it's one less thing you'll have to handle personally. Some couples choose to base the menu on the culture of the family, or go for something that most people like. (example: italian)
    Pick a cake: Before settling on a cake it's best to have a tasting first. Also look into a cake that will match your theme, and please both the bride and groom.
    Hire Your Entertainment: Decide on a band or DJ. It's not recommended to do it yourself with an iPod; there is more to wedding entertainment than just music, they will keep the flow of the event, make announcements, and plan all your special events with you. Each has it's advantages and limitations (this should not be booked last, because all the good bands & wedding DJs get booked first!) The entertainment is crucial and is what makes a wedding one to remember!
    Decorations: You can usually hire someone that will decorate your wedding, but it can be expense. Find decorations that match your color scheme. Take a visit of the venue and take pictures of how the area looks. You may want to even measure the dimension of the room or area. This will allow you to plan where you want everything go and if you have enough space.
    Transportation: If you have multiple venues, plan how you will travel from the ceremony location to the reception location. Some couples may choose to rent a limousine or ride in a classic car. If there will be alcohol at the reception, do you have a safe way for you and your bridal party to get home? You may want to ask a friend or relative to be a designated driver for the night. Also, in some families it is tradition to doctorate the couple’s vehicle, so if you have a nice car you may want to keep it at home in the garage.
    Hotel Rooms: Many couples will rent a “honeymoon” suite the night of their wedding. Also, you may want to reserve a block of rooms for guests that will be attending your wedding. This will usually ensure they all get the best rate.
    Wedding programs: As with the invitations, you can have your programs professionally printed or make your own. It’s not recommended that you print your programs much more than a week in advance in case there are any unexpected changes. (such as changes in ushers or candle lighters) If possible, have your officiant proof read the ceremony potion of the program.

I believe with the above mention steps you are now sure of what it takes to plan the wedding you ever dream of

7  Forum / Relationships & Romance / What to do after a breakup on: 12-06-2013 10:15 PM
Do you know that one of the reasons many people fail to get over their loved ones after breakups boils down to what they do after breakup? And that’s why the majority of people tend to fear breakups.

And in most cases, they fear not only because they love their partners, but to certain extent, it’s based on how they’re going to feel right after the breakup. If this group of people knew what to do after a breakup, they will probably see no reason fearing the occurrence of it.
And this is what am going to be talking in this article; what to do after a breakup so that, if you practically apply them, you will certainly also used it to get over the person as well.
What to do right after a breakup occurrence

    Make sure the breakup is certain: In most of my articles on breakups and recovery, I always emphasize on the state of the relationship because, one can only successfully cope when he or she must have known whether the breakup is temporal or certain only then can the recovery process starts. In many cases, I always tell my people that it’s better to first spot of the certainty immediately after a breakup before getting over the person.
    Stop visiting the old places: One of the mistakes most people usually do after a breakup is that they continue to visit the places they always go together with the hope of meeting their partners there. This kind of mistake is really big to commit because it renders you with hope that you can still sort things out thereby increasing the pain. This method only works well when there are still hopes of fixing the relationship but If you’ve made your mind to completely forget him, you should equally avoid all the restaurants, bars, clubs, malls, roads, his/her friends etc.
    Start thinking of their flaws: In one of my articles, 'How to forget someone who broke your heart', I explain how just by reflecting on someone’s faults or mistakes in the past let us develop hatred for the person and this is one of the things you should do after a breakup. Start visualizing their flaws, where they went wrong, some of their poor attitude you never liked, etc. and before you know, you start developing a cool mind towards them thereby seeing no reason of being with such a person. Those are some of the things you ought not to do after breakup.

Do just the right thing after a breakup

It takes just days for anyone to get over the worse breakup. The reason some people take longer than the usual period is when they dwell out of the rules. This therefore means that knowing what to do after a breakup is the key factor and this is nothing more than avoiding all the good times and happenings you shared in the past.

Remember that what makes people important to us is when our subconscious mind tends to see something favorable about them. So in this case, when you avoid old good memories, your subconscious tends to consider the person less important just as someone you met on the street.

8  Forum / Relationships & Romance / True love versus infatuation on: 12-06-2013 05:26 PM
If there is one bit of unchallenged information I have about true love and infatuation, is that any relationship based on selfishness is bound to be infatuation. It's sometimes difficult to distinguish between true love and infatuation since people now fall in love easily and almost everyone claims to be the rightful match.
Can he tell me about himself?

A person can't just tell you "this is what i am. Now you know everything about me" No, it takes time and patience to know someone you’re truly in love with. True love never hurts by time. The best way to test your relationship or feelings for someone is to let some time to pass. True love doesn’t happen overnight nor is the person who would make a good marriage mate necessarily be someone you find overwhelmingly attractive.

So, how can you know if it’s true love? This is what I will be talking today in this article, how to distinguish between real love and infatuation.
How to identify Infatuation
If you turn around, you will find many youths who are married under the illusion of being in true love later to discover that they were infatuated. Infatuation is another kind of love but in this case a counterfeit one. It is a premature way of expressing love. Some psychologists even defined it as the opposite nature of love. You can know infatuation people just by their flattery words. Infatuation person always have the tendency to say "I really feel important when am around him, I can't do without you, I can't believe how fantastic this is, he/she really makes me feel good." Notice how many times his/her "I" or "me" is used? Infatuation is blind and likes staying that way. It doesn’t like facing reality else, it will vanish. But above all, what is true love or real love?
True love versus infatuation

If you’re doubting someone’s love for you, then most probably you are confusing between this aspect of love and infatuation. In order to make the right judgment, we have to look at it from all angles. The first way we’re going to approach this issue is by examining his/her behavior in the form of questions:

Is your partner unselfishly caring about the interest of others or not? The effect on you is that it makes you a better person or not? Romance starts slowly taking months/years or not? You’re attracted to the person's total personality or not? He/she views you realistically or not? You both equally give and share or not?

If you’re finished answering the above, ask yourself the following: Is he/she eager for the success of your plans or not? Does he/she show concern for your viewpoints or not? Has he/she pressured you to do something meaningful or not? Does this person turn to build you up in front of others in your absence or not?

Each of us have our different answers to these questions depending on the different partners we have. In your situation, you’re the only one who can tell about your partner and yourself. But in general, I want you to know that if you spot out most of your answers to be 'yes' then the probability that the relationship is legitimate is very high. So the higher the yes you have, the greater the possibility of legitimacy right?

9  Forum / Relationships & Romance / 7 tips on how to choose the right man to married on: 12-06-2013 01:41 PM
When it comes on how to choose the right person to spend the rest of your life with, the only one who can be sure if you are choosing well is you. We all come with the idea of the right man and how we want our lives to be in the future, so here are some tips to ensure that you are following your dreams and that you are being honest with yourself by choosing him.
How to choose a right man to marry

    Ask yourself: The first thing you should do when thinking about getting married is to ask yourself if the man you want to do it with is the kind of person you want in your future. Think about if he has the qualities you always dreamed in a man or if he has something you find wonderful and you think is hard to find. Think if you admire him and if you think he has something that you really value and want to treasure it for the rest of your life.

    Think if you really see him in your future, and if you think that you can accomplish wonderful things together or not. Be honest with yourself and see if you really feel good about your relationship or if your are waiting for something else deep inside.
    Don't think about as "choosing" the right man: Think about as letting someone in your life and what you want that person to be like. Because your life is just one, and you need to find someone to make it more beautiful and easy to deal with. Don't look just for the right man, look for a friend, a person that will always take your hand and be there.

10  Forum / Relationships & Romance / 7 qualities of a good partner on: 12-06-2013 12:12 PM
One of the biggest mistakes most people usually do when it comes to considering the qualities of a good partner is that, most of them focus on physical looks thereby ignoring other important qualities of a partner. Is it possible to say ’this is a good partner’ probably because you managed to spot out his/her physical looks? Right, but that’s not all.

I am not against the fact of sight attraction because I also know that sight appearance is what starts most relationship, if not all. But still, on the other hand, physical appearance is not all a person can consider in a partner. It’s just a small percentage of it.

When I was in the university, I had a friend called Ekema and we usually attend parties together. In one of the parties, Ekema met Annet for the first time and it was certain that Annet was beautiful. From the way they interacted, I knew they had something in common. After about a year and few months, Ekema told me they are planning to get married after graduation, but it was the reverse. Later on from that day, Ekema starts complaining on many things about her and before graduation, they had broken up.

11  Forum / Relationships & Romance / Problems with trust in relationships on: 11-06-2013 03:33 PM
Trust is one of the most important aspects of any relationship, creating a solid foundation and sense of security. When you feel like you cannot trust your partner, or that your partner unjustly mistrusts you, it can have serious ramifications on your relationship.

In, some cases, it can lead to a break-up. It is important to communicate when dealing with trust issues and examine the possible circumstances that could be causing them.

One of the most common forms of lack of trust manifests in jealousy. You may be jealous when your partner talks or even looks at someone else or you may feel like you're partner overreacts when you talk to other people. Insecurity and lack of self-confidence are a few of the primary causes of jealousy in relationships. If your partner does not feel good about herself, she may project that into not trusting you with attractive women.

12  Forum / Relationships & Romance / How to turn a friend into a lover on: 11-06-2013 02:27 PM
Have you ever been in a situation where you need to make a friendship with someone turn into love relationship? I have been in such situation. It's true that at point in our lives, we have wanted things to happen the way we desire. A friend of mine once told me that most of his friends happen to be girls.

It didn't end there. He says it happens so because whenever he approach a girl for the first time and succeeded, the whole thing turns to Mr and Mrs best friends. Many others like my friend still face this same philosophy. In the beginning, I wanted to tell him what I recommend but though it better to write an article covering this topic (How to turn a friend into lover) since there're still many others in same shoe with my friend.
Why does it happen this way?

Just like my friend, many others are into this pattern due to many tiny factors that differ from one individual to the other. Some might fail to turn their friendship into a love relationship due to certain factors hindering them like how to start, method of approach, would he/she accepts me, what other will say. Why would they not succeed? It's difficult to make courageous move when such thoughts are being held.
For my friend, I discovered that he was actually bold and didn’t lack something to say. But what was his problem? Despite all the fact that he was bold and over confident of himself, most of his approach and interaction were just moves of best friends. When two people meet for the first time, the kind of relationship they will build highly depends on how they talk and interaction with each other.

13  Forum / Relationships & Romance / 6 wrong reasons to start a relationship on: 11-06-2013 12:35 PM
Have you ever seen someone in a relationship and you just know they are not going to make it? It happens all around us. I have been seeing that many times since my childhood. It is but normal to see people who never managed to make it in their relationships and they are just moving on and on from one relationship to another with the aim of one day, meeting their soul mate.

In most situations I have examined, they keep changing partners here and there highly because of their main purpose behind the relationship. When someone is behaving in that routine, you will realized that they have a wrong reason for starting the relationship and that’s why their relationship never last, then you start seeing misunderstanding in everything they do.

At times many people felt the need to have a relationship with a certain person without examining whether the need for it is necessary and the end result is that, it leads to nowhere.
For example, if a person feels that he/she is lonely probably due to lack of closed associates like friends, may jump into a relationship thinking it's true love. But behind the relationship, it’s not so because he/she just needed a company and when the loneliness dies off, probably when his/her associates are back, he/she tends to ignore the relationship just like that. The reason behind this is because they were quite unconscious that they needed a company and instead of finding a solution in a different form, they seek it in a relationship and when they’re ok with their lives they dupe their partners.
6 wrong reasons to start a relationship

I decided to come up with this article because of my resent research on the high increased number of breakups around the world and I found that the reason why most couples breakup highly depends on their purpose (wrong purposes) behind the relationship. The below mentioned are some of the wrong reasons to start a relationship with, but if your relationship has nothing to do with it, just ignore them:

    Sex addiction: Sex addiction is when someone totally believes they can’t do without sex and decided to jump into a relationship in order to satisfy these segxwal desires. I don’t see anything wrong in a young person to at least exercise this desire, but therein lies two big problem: The first is when they get into a relationship with this aim, they segxwally harass their partner and secondly, after all the hard struggle, it’s certain the relationship will someday split-up just like that.
    Relationship as a means of comfort: Another wrong reason is when a relationship is being used as a means of comfort. For example, if someone lacks the company of friends or parents probably because they travel to another city for education, the probability that out of loneliness, they will fall in love with their next door neighbour so as to feel comfortable is high. The problem with this kind of relationship is that it goes nowhere since it was built on pure loneliness and it’s certain one day he/she will go back to their comfort zone.
    Relationship as a medium of comparison: This mostly happens with young people where one friend tries to compare with the other in terms of relationship or partner. This forces the other friend to persuade a relationship in order to avoid intimidation and respond back. This reason really hinders relationship growth since it makes no sense to be with someone just to boost to others, right?
    Relationship and external pressure: Another aspect which can force a person to start a wrong relationship, is the belief that at a certain age (depending on our cultures) one has to get married. This aspect causes many young people to panic and feel some anxiety to marry. Coupled with pressure from friends and family members with the ideal of, you’re not getting any younger. Nothing is wrong with that, but the only problem there is that it forces some young people to hurry and make the wrong choices.
    The fear of never marrying: This has to do with societal conditioning, which suggests that you should have been married with children by the age of probably 30s. Often it is women who feel this pain than the men as they move towards their 40s. Moving towards this age without a relationship, they assume that they will end up being a lonely spinster for the rest of their days. With this kind of thoughts, it’s difficult to exercise patience when it comes to a partner. This thought also affects the selection process causing a sense of desperation to dive in and this leads to choosing the wrong match.
    The wrong match: Another reason behind this maybe when a person finds a better match for a partner and later is discouraged by external factors such as friends or parents, not recommending the partner but instead proposing someone else. I don’t know whether this still happens, but it really does not make any sense to date someone because somebody recommends. Relationship is all about deep feelings and commitments. How can someone expresses this feelings with a neutral person? This makes such people to fall a victim with a wrong match.

From what is mentioned, you can see that any kind of relationship based on any of these grounds is bound to fail since relationship is not one of the means of escaping responsibility or a cure for solution.
