Whenever I watch the show, I can see that when you are really in love with the person, your creative juices would come out to surprise your partner with a wonderful marriage proposal.

Are you planning to propose but not sure where to start? I found this video on youtube on how to propose properly.  They might have injected some humor to the video but the marriage proposal tips makes sense. 

When you are at the point when you think that your relationship is falling apart, are you making an effort to make things work out or do you find the easy way out? In a relationship, it takes two to tango. Communication between partners and the willingness to make it work can help save your marriage.

I don’t have any personal experience about divorce but I have been through  break-ups. When you know that the relationship is about to end, that’s a very difficult part. You are torn between wanting to stay with the person and letting go for your own good. If you have been used to spending your time and doing everything together with another person that matters to you, I can’t imagine how painful a divorce would be especially if kids are involved. It’s not easy to move own and start all over again.

Well, nobody wants to go through divorce. Some may say it’s an inevitable thing when the other person no longer wants to exert an effort to make it work. But for those who feel that there’s still hope for their marriage even if things are getting tough, read this information from the National Institute of Marriage.

With the national divorce rate around 50%, there is no doubt that many marriages run into communication problems at some point. There is a communication epidemic. The National Institute of Marriage has created marriage counseling programs and resources utilizing a structure that is the most powerful format they have found for helping couples who feel stuck and hopeless. They have designed several programs to help couples move past the barriers and experience the marriage of their dreams.

NIM’s Intensive Marriage Counseling Programs are unique from weekly marriage counseling in three distinctive ways:

· Intensive Marriage Counseling Format: Committing to an extended amount of concentrated time like the 2 or 4 day Marriage Intensive allows people to get to the root of the problem and stick with it in order to work through it. If you’ve been in traditional marriage counseling before, you may have experienced how you spend the first half catching up from the week before, the second half getting into the real issues, and then the time is gone. The Intensive format is designed so that people have the chance to go deeper without many of the other distractions of daily life and have enough discuss to consider solutions.

· Efficiency: One of the first steps in the process is an extensive assessment with some questionnaires. This allows the therapists to gather background information and can get an idea of the best strategy to proceed before you arrive for your session.

· Marriage Counselors: The counselors at the National Institute of Marriage are specialists in this area. One analogy we like to use is that of the Mayo Clinic: people go to their regular physician but may be sent to a specialist to work with specific areas. The NIM marriage therapists have been trained in this format to maximize its effectiveness. Also, the NIM marriage counseling programs provide the perspectives and insight of two professionals rather than one.
