hen I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.
Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce.. I raised the topic calmly.
She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?
I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Dew. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!
With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company.
She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Dew so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.
The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Dew.
When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.
In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce.
She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.
This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day.
She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning.. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.
I told Dew about my wife's divorce conditions.. . She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully..
My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.
On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time.. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.
On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me.
On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Dew about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.
She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.
Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.
Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.
But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy.
I drove to office.... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind...I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I do not want the divorce anymore.
She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead.. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other any more. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart.
Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away.
At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.
That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed - dead.
The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!
If you don't share this, nothing will happen to you.
If you do, you just might save a marriage.
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
A CHRIST-CENTERED MARRIAGE IS A MARRIAGE THAT IS SURE TO LAST A LIFETIME.
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Matthew 19:6.
Stay in love and save the marriage, stay in medicare insurance life save the health.

“Will you marry me?”
"Success in marriage is much more than finding the right person; it is a matter of being the right person"
Every girls dream is too be asked by her partner into getting married, to walk in the isle looking as if she is the most beautiful woman in the world with her lovely gown. Each pair of lovers wishes to spend the lifetime with each other thinking his or her partner is the one. Without even thinking of its consequences.
Marriage is a social union or legal contract between individuals that creates a relationship of two entities. It is not realized by just wanting it to happen, it is done by the understanding of two hearts. It is the union of two souls ready to sacrifice their singleness for the sake of being with someone they love. But as what most people say, most marriages are just happy in the start but as time passes by, it will still fail. That’s why most people are afraid to enter the world of marriage. Because of the simple reason that they are afraid of experiencing what other people had experienced.
So before you decide of getting married, make sure that he or she is the one. Because marriage is not something that you can easily drop down the moment you realize that you’re already used to it.
One thing more, before you decide to get married, make sure you'll going to have a perfect, health family life by leaning to medicare insurance leads.

Am I inlove, Friend?
(by charry Armodia)
I want to be near with you
Because I want you to be my friend
Then you treated me as a friend
And finally we became the best of friend
But in all the days that we’re together
I felt something that grows deeper
Am I inlove, friend?
Oh! Yes I’m madly inlove friend.

HOW TO FIND A PERFECT BOYFRIEND
It is just hard to find the perfect prince charming and more often some girls end up going out to someone who is not the ideal one for them and is truly opposite to what they really expected their boyfriend to be.
- Try to be the best person you are. People who are true to themselves naturally catch the attention of people to them. By being the best person you are they will notice your qualities and might fall for you.
- Smile. Keep a little smile wherever you are. This will make you stand out among others.
- Do not look for him. Let the time bring this perfect guy for you. He will not just appear where you can perfectly say “He the one!”. You never know that you are looking and waiting for a guy that for a long time being with you always. Keep an open mind and give him a chance.
- Introduce yourself! You can say hello to someone that you find cute but do it in a natural manner and not to obvious that you like him. Sometimes you must take the risks not considering the result of whether you will be neglected or you will have him. But , you will never know unless you give it a try.
- Stay open mind. Some keep looking for the right and perfect man not knowing, that man you are referring is just right around the corner or right in front of you. You have did not give him chance and when it happens, you will not find out that he is the one. It could be your childhood friend or your classmate.
- Remember to never give up. When you are in doubt either you can still find your prince or not remember to never surrender. God provide someone for you and he will come along and prove to you it was all worth it at the right time.
- Define what a "perfect boyfriend" means to you. Do you think you can find the qualities you really want on earth or you are dealing with the fictitious characters of those you can find in the television?

HOW TO STAY CALM DURING A TEST
You walk into the exam area and the scary proctor places that white sheet of paper in front of you and inform you that you have only got an hour to do it. That can craze anyone out, but remember to take it as a healthy challenge.
- Be prepared. Sometimes you will feel ready for a test but recognize that you are not as prepared as you imagine. If this often happens, you may not be studying enough.
- Have a good night's sleep. Sleep early a night before the exam and eat a healthy breakfast when you wake up in the morning. Do not cram in the night of the exam.
- Prepare all your equipments. Make sure materials needed are all set such as an extra pencil, ruler, calculator, etc.
- Be in class a little early. If you get early to the test center, you can choose a seat you are comfortable to. You will feel stress-free if you don't get there just before the time.
- Take breaths. Inhale through your nose deeply and slowly before the test starts. Hold the breath for 3-5 seconds and exhale slowly in the course of your mouth. Do this exercise if you feel the pressure it brought you.
- Tell yourself it's just a test. Think that it is just a test. Think that you have passed so many tests before and you can pass too on the current test.
- Skip questions if possible. Never spend too much time on one question. If you get trapped, skip the question and move forward. Come back to that question at the end of the test if you still have time.
- Pretend like you're the only person in the room. Don't be alarmed if you see other students writing swiftly or handing in their tests before time. Strive to work at a stable rate and do not worry about swiftness because it is not a race.

HOW TO REACT WHEN SOMEONE INSULTS YOUR PRINCIPLE
Every one was born with a sense of humor but not all has the power to use it in a precise way. Some has a gift of using it but end up with a worst discussion when one among the members of the group was not in the mood to acknowledge your remarks. This will direct to a more intricate remarks that triggers your ego to take necessary actions. These actions probably would cause a relationship being devastated just because of those thoughtless annotations.
- Don't respond right away. Don’t let your anger take place. Take sometime to think of the right words to say rather than directly saying or doing something that would hurt you both.
- Speak up for your beliefs in calm and rationale manner. Do not let his comment pass without answering it. He might think you accepted and it is fine to you whatever he mentioned. It is also good not react on it, but, it is still better if you can express your thoughts.
- Never take things so personally, to give a person benefit of the doubt. You can assume that you are not insulted by the comment. In the first place, everyone never knows who really you are, and they do not have any idea that something offended your being or not.
- Try to ask question before making a declaration. Try asking him why he responded that way before making any statements. Do not just be thoughtless because you are being insulted.
- Play fiend’s advocate. If you think they intend really to insult your being, react as if you are more than what they think you are. Do not let them make you down, instead, amuse them with the other part of yourself.
- Be likely tactful to divulge your position. Try to show your real self and what you can do. So they are not going to insult you that way and they will be aware that such thing insults you. For that, they will refrain from doing it next time around.
- Let him know that you feel insulted. Learn to express yourself in an appropriate manner rather than keeping it alone and revealing to anyone that you got insulted, Tell them that such things insults you and it hurts you.
- Imagine you are soaring. Keep yourself at par and be calm. Everything will go well with being cool. In the end, that someone who insulted you, will realize that it’s his fault and will end up that people will look at him bad.

How to Not Be Obsessive over a Guy
If you just cannot accept why your boyfriend breaks up with you, think for a while. It could be that you are becoming too obsessed over him. When you cannot sleep, eat and smile after the break-up and just think of him every minute of the day, you should try reading this piece and this will help you.
Steps
Steps
- Be respectful. Do not call him every minute and in the middle of the night just to tell him to come back. Try to be on his shoe if you just do not like the one’s calling. If you really need to call him, do it once and you can leave not more that two messages.
- Be thoughtful, do something! If you find him talking to any other girls, try using your head. You can talk to other guys too and you are allowed to do it. You can even do it when he is beside you and it is much better. Talk to others about something that will remind him why he started dating you before. Show the qualities that he loves on you. He might realize then how awful it is to leave you.
- Do not make him your world. There are things other than him that are far more important. You can go dating again, go out with your friends or even go out with him as friends and pretend that you are better in that way, though it was not.
- Be happy. Let him find you contented and fine. If he really loves you, he will find time to bring you back. But if it is not, do not make the first move, though you will really be hurt. If you think, there is a need to make the first move; you are free to do it. But when he ignores you, stop and forget him!.

How to Have a Long Lasting Marriage
For a marriage to last, cooperation and understanding of both partners are necessary. Marriage failure occurs when one has given up and didn’t even try to save the relationship. When one is not happy with the status, most couple still try to keep the relationship for the sake of the years they have been together and for the sake of their children.
- Be contended. Do not try to look for anyone else who can make you happier. If your partner cannot do the things that make you happy, help him to slowly do it for you. Be contented and don't regret the commitment you have and you made to yourself and to your partner.
- Learn to compromise. Understand his likes and dislikes. Both should be aware of each other’s feeling. For instance, your partner wants to see a suspense type of movie in the theater, and you don’t even bother to watch such movie. Try to compromise and give him a chance that both of you can watch the movie. It is hard to do, that is, but learn to like it.
- Ask apologize when you have done wrong. Do not let your pride ingest you and destroy the relationship. If you’ve got to say sorry, say it in a calm, natural and charming manner. Do it in the right place and time and don’t let it resolve the next day.
- Show your support. Your support for your partner will help to build a strong bind in relationship. Encourage your partner to pursue and focus on the things he likes as long as this will not affect his relationship with you.
- Do enjoyment. At least once in a while, both of you will have time for each other together with the kids. Once in a while forget about the regular routines you have in the house or in the office. You may like to go out for lunch and watch theater or go to an amusement park.
- Commemorate anniversaries. Do not forget special occasions pertaining to your relation such as engagement date, wedding date and birthdays. Allocate some budget for it and do celebrate. This doesn’t need an extravagant affair, what a matter is you remembered the date.
- Plan for the future. Plan especially for the benefits of your children. Where would you like them to study and what course will you let them take.
