What’s New? 2019

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls;

Divider page from my latest book.
Wedding Planning Planner

What’s new? In this fast pace of everything and everyone moving faster than I can imagine. I have run a race worth speaking about and I am looking forward to just that. You see technology changed the world. It hits us daily with the bloggers, the trend setters and the what’s important and what is not.

Not much different than before at the same time totally different. Why because I now too confess at how easy it is to get my hands on the information at hand. I cheat! I confess I cheat now. I cheat at instead of picking up the recipe book I look at my phone or device to look up a recipe and then I think, that’s different than I remember it. Of corse it’s different. It’s not from the book or the person who wrote the book that I am looking up. How silly is that to look in a new place for something old.

Non-the-less that’s what I think is happening to many of us. We decluttered ourselves away. We want that old familiar person, recipe, favorite thing, however we are using a new way. What is it with humans that we need the comfort of old. We need to feel like people care more than a DM or Text Message. That doesn’t fill the void of being near someone we love.

We read all the time how so and so broke up their marriage over a text message. Now we have photographic evidence that her husband is having an affair, his wife is seeing someone new. What do we do, snap a photograph and text message it. Rather that going to that person and telling them the truth. We don’t want to be involved. We want to win in the race of life. Not understanding how painful listening all the time to the yelling can be.

I still am amazed at the insensitivity this new age has brought us. We are in a new age when we think faster is better. Is it really. I was recently confronted with the reality of my childhood friend who has been married many times allowed her family to have a sister-cousin. It has taken me several years to understand what that meant. Being of a different religion, I have no words of comprehension how how this has affect her and her believes. What makes that acceptable. Hate the sin, not the sinner I have been told. We all have sins of choice. Addictions we battle within ourselves. Who am I to judge, I ask myself constantly. Yet, does my opinion matter if I gave it. It has been years and I have been avoiding talking with her. Mainly, because I don’t have words to express what I feel without sounding like a judgmental bitch. I wan’t her to know I love 💕 her. Yet, I am, angry that she allowed this to happen. I am also angry at myself for feeling the way I do. We all fall short. So who am I? Who am I to have such strong opinion that I want to yell at her spouse! I can’t, so I don’t, therefore I won’t get involved in my childhood friends marriage. That has left us with pleasantries during the Christmas holidays. Short little somethings that fit onto a postcard style Christmas 🎄 Card.

What’s new in your 2019?

If I keep it all business then this is what I would share. I am close to finishing my second book. It looks like social media is playing a part in telling me what they like. This makes my second guessing myself, so much less and I am happy to report that it is a slow going. Event planning continues to be on the cutting edge of technology mixed with business. Cookie cutter weddings still continue to be a way to cut back cost of weddings. Weddings in San Diego are averaging $35,000/year. I have added a new service to my business. It’s a business that can travel wherever the client want to pay for me to plan their event. This makes things interesting.

I hope your mid-year 2019 check is doing great things for you!

30 Day Challenge "What, Whom Inspiries You Most

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls,

There are several things that inspire me to be creative.  What did you say? What, whom inspires you to be creative.

Being an adult can be one of the most frustrating live has to offer. I watch you tube videos and watch the tradition from college years to adult, I belive the term is "adulting". I wish I would have had an outlet like YouTube to express my frustration.

Here are some things I did to did to get inspires in my youth and still use today.

1.  A journal, pen and/or pencil.  ( I used to write every stupid thought or depressive negative self indulgent thought I had.) That way I would only speak positive thoughts to self all else would die in my mind when I wrote it down. It doesn't matter your religion, faith or believe system. It is about you! 

2. I get out of myself each day and do something physical. Exercise. Ride a bike, take a walk, find a place (usually I do this in the shower) scram, yell sign out your frustration. It is normal to feel frustration in time of uncertainty and times of change. Read children's books and remember back at the times from the classroom to the playground or the playgroups to the classroom how some kids didn't respond correctly? That's what's going on when you or I or anyone have negative thoughts.

3. Play Scrabble! What? Seriously play any word game. I don't play online however, I do play it on the phone and compete against myself. Who's smarter me or a stupid phone? Right now the score is 2-2.

4, What are your favorite toys? One of mine through life as been painting and drawing. From time to time I show one of my paintings on Instagram @Nodsish are they good? Are is subjective. That means there is no right or wrong answer. Anything and everything is possible. That's life is subjective. Don't be a friend to learn something new.

5. If you feel cheap because your on a budget find this store. Buy a cheap pair of shoes. My favorite new store is "Style for Less" . Honestly that was going to be on my favoritism things for October. I love their $5.00 saddles. Leggings, exercise clothing, t-shirts and blazer light weight coats. I don't really wear low cut jeans other wise I would consider those too.

Took cool for school just means you feel you can do it on your own. When you live alone and talk with strangers, stay positive. Talk about positive things. If what goes around comes around. Then I want the positive to come back around.

30 Days Blogging Challenge Day 2 Thankful Thursday

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls,

Thank you pixel.com

How can one be thankful when ones life has been turned into chaos? I have been through so much the last five years I don't have the words to express how I feel. Since, I don't believe in dumping my dirty cloths on you I would list the endless amount of things that has happened.

I am thankful for....

1.  Every moment I had as a Mom with my children. When a child dies before one gets old it is difficult to put the pieces together. You ask yourself how can man be so selfish in his desires.
2. Being a woman in a time when woman have rights,
3. Being alive, If I live then there is always the chance of having my life back from all the problems of other people.
4. The ability to be n a place where I can accept the responsibility for the things I have done right, ask forgiveness for the things I have done wrong and accept the fact that God is Sovereign and as much as we want to control things in life. He has other plans and can take our lives through changes we don't expect. His grace is sufficient I have been told. 
5. The ability to have employment that is creative Satisfying and that helps me become more and more self sufficient each day.

What is difficult about being thankful? Is it a poor mans thoughts? Is it what our souls get instead of money. Once you have lost everything you love in life the climb back is slow and frustrating. You have to trust. It's difficult to trust when trust has been broken.

I never thought in life I would go through so many things as I got older. The abundant life that is what we are suppose to live. Right? We plan for our life and then life changes. Retirement, grandchildren children and a new generation to tell my stories too. No, thats not what he gave me. What he gave me is so sad that everyone listen to it over and over again in the sky. Prayers what prayers, just give me money I get told. This too I give thanks for I give thanks for all those desires you have for me, that will never be for-filled. Why? We are back to number one again. Round  and round we go in a circle until.....

Thank you for reading this blog. I know it is pretty raw. That's how my spirit fills. Raw (figure of speech) from all that has happened in the past five years. When was the last time you asked me how I feel without wanting something. Thank you! I am thankful you though of me.

Please take a moment to read the disclaimer on the contact page. Like, subscribe, tell and friend. Tell a brand and maybe like so many I'll be sponsored and will be self sufficient and can provide for myself. Thankful!

Drink of Choice

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls;

What's up? Rumor has it that Starbucks is struggling to keep the meeting and event industry hold on energy drinks for conferences and meetings.  There has been a decline in the people who attend meetings conferences to purchase the coffee.  That's why all the creative new drinks are coming out in the hopes to draw attention to purchasing their coffee and still have sugar high, high coffee an energy drink indiscase.

With competitive such as:

• ROCKSTAR
• MONSTER
• REDBULL
• burn
• FULL THROTTLE

Starbucks and others are finding themselves Competing with other beverages. Many think why's hold I spend 5-6 dollars on Starbucks when I can purchase another drink for under a dollar and save money for my future. Is this a new generation of business entrepreneurs thinking or is it just and old generation being reborn? Meaning are values being instilled in this generation that will make them better than baby boomers, or generation X.

Don't forget, you don't have to be on a daily does of energy drinks to service the busy and hectic lifestyle of being employed. There are always a choice of no sugar no caffeine drinks that can be added.

Fashion Modern Style for Less

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls

How fun is this for me. Anyone, that lived through the era of the late 60's early 70's to see the clothing styles return.  Fashion statements have always been a trend. It is so much fun to watch new generations have some of the same things I had had in my youth. What a blessing!

Currently, it is off the shoulder and anklet pants. The off the shoulder blouses were called angle blouses and dresses and the anklet pants were called 3/4 length pants. I have a feeling fashion is going to be big in 2017. Maybe that has to do with Mrs. Trump being in the white house. She has a scenes of fashion that reminds reporters of the Jackie and Bobby era, which I personally loved. I remember I became a DYI young lady. Reality, I was much younger than that. My era if you were female you were always consider a young lady.  I learned to sew and learned how to create fashion for less. It was a battle my mother and I always had. Who was better seamstress. I became very good at sewing a straight line and sewing buttons in. If I could save the money for the fabric then I could use her sewing machine. I started learning how to sew very young with my barbie dolls. I would draw them and she slowly started teaching me how to sew them. I would take my paints, crayons and paper and design fabric, draw dresses and as I grew older tried to make the patterns to sew the cloths. The better I got at it the more competition I had from my mother and others.  It is always a love / hate relationship of who is right? Her fashion, was not mine, her people where mot my people, however we can learn many things from the generations before use as well as the generations after us. Either way it lead me to taking classes and then entering college to study and learn what I could. That's when I discovered how competitive the field is and decided on teaching instead. That's enough about me. What I want to encourage all the Diamond Glamour Girls out there is to do great things with their lives. Whatever, you love doing do it with the best you you can do. I have to be honest and tell you I have a great love for fashion and what you can do with one piece to create many.

Get your fashion books, sketch books, drawing pencils,  and start designing...The Camelot Years of fashion our back and lets watch it develop together. I say this because of all the comparisons of Mr. and Mrs. Trump to the Kennedy's. Although my belief is a little different. Melanie Trump was just a baby then, so it's not a baby thing its a real time, real world thing. I laugh with those that want to stay in an era and not change and I covet those of you who are born and this time with all the new things/ tools, technology and equipment to use in your new lives and career choices. Many new careers will open this year as this first lady expresses herself through fashion. I am excited about what she will do, I believe not like newscasters that she has more to offer than just good lucks and fashion. I believe she will not only make the United States of America proud of her role as the first lady, she will also make woman proud to be a young lady, woman.

 This blouse was called spaghetti straps I'm not sure what they call it today, however I do know for the DYI (Do It Yourself) Girl...you can sew it up in less than a day..several hours.  The challenge is there for you to take.

 For the mom's who still want fashion off thee shoulders however still want their children to find them dignified, respectable when in public you can always throw on a little cover up like this one.

 The 3/4 pants or anklets are best left to the young woman who can show off that pretty little piece of them. How fun it is to be young and fashion thought worthy.

 The off the shoulder, not. well kind of. It represents the willing to show a little shoulder, however not willing to be off the shoulders.

Here is a simple off the shoulders blouse with that would take maybe an hour to sew. Planned correctly it could look as glamours as you'd like.

Don't want to be spend thee money on trendy clothing? Then I found a cute store that will help you purchase the clothing for less. The name of it is Styles for Less, the fashion is trendy and will last for a season, for those on a budget or just want cloths for a season for the trend.

The New Addiction

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls;

This is the age of the new addiction. We see it on all the reality television. What is it? Could it be you are holding it in your hand. Lets talk a little about what is addiction.

Addiction is defined as:
the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance, thing, or activity.

In the twenties (1920's) it was Alcohol.
  In the thirties (1930's) it was Morphine.
    In the forties (1940's) it was Opinite
      In the fifties (1950's) it was Narcotics or Prescription Drugs
        In the sixties (1960's) it was Pharmaceuticals
          In the seventies (1970's) it was Heroine
           In the eighties (1980's) it was Cocaine
             In the nineties (1990's) it was Cocaine and Heroine
              In the two thousand's (2000's) it was buprenorphine
                In the two thousand ten (2010's) it is Internet aka "Smart Phones"

Now, I know you think I am being ridiculous. The smart phone the greatest invention to men. It gives us instant information. It is so helpful, we can reach our family and friends at any time. I confess I have even used it in my business constantly try to get more business. Now I have come to the realization checking my messages constantly isn't the best for my mental health.

Brides can call me with their problems and I will try to answer them. However, my practice is to plan out when I am going to answer my emails, text messages and other information. I do search the internet for immediate answers when I don't know it. I do confess to even trying to answer a trivia contest by searching the internet only to discover that other were faster at it then I am.

I have now done some things to protect myself. My facebook, twitter, and other social media sounds are turned off. I check it once or twice a day to see if there is something I need to follow up on. I no longer check in all the time...honestly, I don't need you knowing everywhere I go. I like living a private life. Letting people know who your with, what you're doing, and what your doing can attract the wrong kind of person. The way I look at it is I am not making a salary that movie stars make wo what is the point of letting you know what I am doing unless you're going to pick up the tab for me. I don't need to be your porn star. I need to financially support myself.

How to break the addiction. Event planners are doing this for couple and others. Asking people to turn off their smart phones at their events. To concentrate on the moment. Pastors use to ask people to turn off their smart phones until they decided to be with the trends instead of stick to the word of God. I know there are bible apps that are just as good. I've heard. Nothing compares to having a good book in your hands and reading it. They encouraged people to open up their bible and read. It encourages us to read more than a few words, something we all need to improve on is reading skills.

Here are some steps you can take to Stop the Addiction this was take from Dr. Phil:

Seven Steps to Breaking Your Addiction

Most people make resolutions at the beginning of the year, only to break them before the month is over. Whether you want to stop drinking, quit smoking, gambling or simply spend less time on the computer, Dr. Phil has advice.

1) Acknowledge the purpose.
Why do you do it? You have to be able to answer that question. Is it to help you deal with anxiety and stress? It may be hard for you to admit that you have a drinking or smoking habit, but you can't change what you don't acknowledge. Dr. Phil says, "What purpose does the behavior serve for you? If you're an alcoholic, you're not just drinking because you're thirsty. Admit to yourself: 'I'm medicating myself for anxiety, depression and pain. It numbs me to life.'"

2) Think rational thoughts instead of denial. 
You understand at a conscious level, at an intellectual level that your addiction is unhealthy, yet you continue and this perplexes you. Dr. Phil points out, "If you're in denial about it, if you're minimizing it, if you're trivializing it, if you're conning yourself about it, then you'll never get where you need to be." If you can't get through the day without a shot of vodka, you may be medicating yourself for anxiety, depression or pain. You may need to count on others to help you think rationally. 

3) Use alternative coping skills. People don't break bad habits; they replace them with new ones. Recognize that you get a reward from smoking or drinking. Dr. Phil explains, "It calms you. It takes your anxiety away. It lifts your spirits. It numbs you to the pain of your life. If I take that away from you and then don't put anything in its place, then you're just there stripped of your coping mechanisms and you're going to go back to what you were doing before." Some alternative techniques to consider to replace your addiction are breathing exercises or relaxation techniques. 

4) Identify your danger zones.
A danger zone can be a particular time of day or your reaction to a particular circumstance. There are times that you're more prone to indulge in your habit than others. Recognize what those times are, and do something that is incompatible with the addiction you're trying to break. For example, if you have the urge to light up during your 3 p.m. break at work, take that time to do your breathing or relaxation exercises instead. Dr. Phil encourages, "If you get through that two or three moments of impulse, I promise you it will go away." You don't have to be strong and powerful all day long every day. You just need to recognize your danger zones, and do something incompatible with your addiction.

5) Make lifestyle changes."It's not willpower, it's programming," Dr. Phil says. You have to set your life up for success if you're going to break your addiction. If you're trying to stop smoking or drinking, try simple things like not carrying money for cigarette vending machines or cleaning your cupboards of alcoholic beverages. You may have to change the places you frequent, what you do for fun and whom you hang out with. If you are a computer junkie, remove the computer from your house. The best way to stop an addiction is to not have access to it.

6) Be accountable and have a support system.
Being accountable to someone means that that person will not only support you, but will give you the kick in the rear that you need when it gets tough and tell you the truth when you're kidding yourself. Get your family and friends involved in your efforts to kick the habit. If you're a smoker, print out these cards from Dr. Phil that warn your friends to refrain from indulging you. You can also find addiction support on the message boards at DrPhil.com. You need to find a community that supports you during this time and embraces your decision to be healthier. You may also need to seek treatment or check into a rehabilitative program.

7) Reward yourself.Overcoming an addiction can be very difficult, but it can be done. When you see yourself making progress, even baby steps, you have to motivate yourself to keep going. Give yourself credit. Reward yourself for every step you make, starting with admitting that you have a problem and asking for help.

Three Little Pigs a Christmas Story

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls,

Have you ever read the story of "The Three Little Pigs", it was one of the first books my generation learned to read. Required school reading. I laugh because times have change, children are learning to read on iPads instead of books.

My sister and I use to argue about what type of house we would choose. She wanted a house built of straw and I one of bricks. This argument happened before we knew the ending of the story. Who would have thought that a strong house meant you had to help whenever things went wrong.


A horse enjoys hey, however the wind can blow it away! A man can hurt another with a stick, the wind can take it out of "His" hand. The fire house creates the brick for the brick house, the wind can blow the fire out. The brick house can stand alone. However what is the purpose without the straw, stick, fire that created it! In all of it is about knowing that together you can create what is best for the whole.

I am not a pig or a farmer or even a wolf in sheepskin. I did not become a thing of a fool or anything of the world. What I do know is that "He" became those things for us that we don't have too.


What I do know it is about being together in good times and in bad. Helping those you love, even when the price your paying isn't worth it.




It is about the rejoicing of the victory you achieved together. Kicking all things out that herder you from the "Goal".

If one of you lies about another what does that bring you? Just a bunch of roofing material, barley and an empty ride. As empty as the life they choose for you! Or the identity they just stole.

Rejoice in all things!

Merry Christmas!

Men of Integrity (Part 4)

Men of Integrity (Part 4)

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls;

Love and B are just being their pre-marital counseling.  B is excited about all the possibilities of being a wife, while Love is feeling all the pressure and responsibility of becoming a husband.  Why do you think they are on opposite sides of the beginning of their marriage?  Are men made more responsible than women in their marriage?  Maybe women see marriage as all the great and wonderful things in life.  God’s best so to speak.  Do men see themselves as Gods best when they are individuals.  All of these questions are what counseling helps address.  It also helps the couple transitions from singlehood to married couple.  A good counsel helps the couple define their roles as individual, within the marriage and allow the person to become who they really are and want to become.

Love arrived at Pasto B’s office at 4:30 right on time.  They went through all the normal formalities when you are meeting another person.

Pastor B: “Shall we get to the reason you are here?”

Love:  “Sure.”

Pastor B:  “Did you bring your Bible?  Here is the workbook I want you to go through with me.  B already received hers.  As you can see it will take us several weeks to go through the workbook.  The workbook is divided in several sections.  The beginning it is discovering what God expects of you, as a man of God, what he expects of you as a Husband.  We will talk about some of it; for other parts of it will we will be with other couples getting married.  We want you to feel a part of our church and have friends to fellowship with as a couple.

Let’s start with Integrity.  What do you think it means?

Love: That my actions and my words are the same.

Pastor B:  Let’s look at what God says about integrity Gen: 20: 5 “Did he not say to me. “ She is my sister? And she even she herself said, ‘He is my brother’ In the integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands I have done this.”   What do you think this verse means? 

“In all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility” Titus 2:7

Both of these verses play a big part in a marriage. It is important to know them and to have them as a part of who you are.  B will demand them and she should.  I would like you to send time this week thinking about what integrity means in today’s world.  How would you apply this today?  Work life? Marriage?  Family life?  Also in planning your wedding.

Love:  This is so much to deal with.  I am not sure, what you’re asking for.  Do I have to think about this all the time? Are you asking me to talk to everyone about “Integrity”?

Pastor B:  If you have to.  Mainly I am asking you to think about what it means to you.  The Bible really talks about the things God expects from us.  Now there are many who expect things from us.  From listening to you talk.  The wedding plans have just begun to show you all the expectations your fiancée you Mother in law and even your own mom are expecting you.  What you haven’t addressed is what are the dads expecting from you?  What does your boss expect from you?  Do you have expectations from your co-worker?  Are there any expectations from your friends?  Expectations are endless in life, but what is it that you expect from yourself?  What I want to give you is a “Rule Book” a “Guidelines” something that all the answers to the questions you may be asking, or may not be asking.

Today is the beginning of a new way of looking at your life.  Next week I will meet with both of you.  B, you and me so that we can discuss the answers to the questions in the book that deals with the scriptures verses I just gave you.  I would like you to understand, B already received them I asked her not to discuss them with you until we meet.  I am asking you the same thing.

Thanksgiving (Help 7 People and the Economy by sending one Holiday Card)

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls;

I had some time today to start putting my Christmas Card list together. Writing them out. It is a rainy day in San Diego, and I don't really feel like going out or working on my business. So I start that list of Christmas things we all hate to do. You know the things that you wonder if people cared about or if only you do? The first was and always is to begin writing my cards. Throughout the years I have sent cards, letters,  post cards, emails, e-cards and last year I event sent text messages. I have to confess, last year was a low point as I think of the importance of the Holiday Season and how special the season is.  It doesn't matter if you spend the season alone or with family and friends the meaning of the season is still as important yesterday, today and tomorrow.

To get me in the mood I decided to write about what matters most to me. It all begins the seasons with Thanksgiving. No matter what you celebrate the season begins with Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is defined in the following way:

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is the beginning of gratitude,
Gratitude is the state of being grateful: thankfulness
Thankfulness is the conscious of benefit received...
Maria Kamon


I learned as a child to walk and think always of the things I am thankful for. The past few years have been rather sad for me on the personal front, therefore when I don't have the words to express our thankfulness I look to others to express it for me.

This year with the technology being so fast, I decided to look up works of others. Here goes. It is a way I feel I, and maybe all of us should feel, but most of us, being the humans that we are we take those around us for  take for granted. 

To really give thanks to what I am thankful for

For my family, my health, a nice soft bed

My friends, my freedom, a roof over my head

I'm thankful right now to be surrounded by these

Whose lives touch memory than they'll ever possibly know

Thankful Lord, that You've blessed me beyond measure

Thankful that in my heart lives life's greatest treasure

Thank you dear Jesus, reside in place

And I am ever so grateful for understand grace

So please heavenly Father, bless this food You've provided

And bless each and every person invited.

Amen

Scott Weseman

Consider sending someone you know a hand written note, or a holiday card.  Let them know that they were important enough for you to take the time to write them.  It will create more employment for humans like you and me.  I know that many are employeed in technology but there are many more people who need employment as also.  One card, gives employment to the preson who creates the paper, the person who thought of the peom or saying, the person who type set it or typed it into the computer, the person who purchased the card, the person who created the stamp, the postal worker who delivered it.  In purchasing one card you have employeed, the person who inspired you to purchase the card and bless someone by doing so.  You have just employeed 7 people.  Congratulations!  You have just help 7 people.  Blessings! 

Please do last thing for Diamond Glamour Girls blogspot and click on a sponsor.  You will help me be employeed! Leave a comment let me know how many Holiday cards you will be sending this year, remember 1 card employees 7+ people. Thank you!

Honeymoon

 I asked myself…what I know about HONEYMOONS.  I finally realized I know nothing.  On my honeymoon my husband and I called home to see if our new home was ready to move in when his sister said whatever she said, that caused our honeymoon to be cut short.  Who leaves their honeymoon early?  Honestly, we did.  Today I realize that the Honeymoon set a foundation for the relationship.  It is one of those moments in time that when things get difficult it is something you booth have to talk about it.

Here are something’s I would do different if I could.  This is not meant as a complaint, more like if I knew then what I know now.  The wedding and honeymoon are a reflection of the people in the relationship.  What is important to the both of you?  If you are people who like being with each other and want to shut out the world then do so.  Maybe a quiet, intimate wedding and honeymoon is what is perfect for you.

If you are a person who is budget conscience, then plan a small wedding and spend most of the money on the honeymoon.  It is a time to make all your dreams, plans, thoughts of what you both hope for in the future.  It is a time when you should both be equally having fun.  Not one better than the other.  The honeymoon should be a place you both should enjoy spending time together.

Know if you are the type that has a large budget, go for it.  Go Big!  If you go Big on the Wedding, then you have to Go Big on the HONEYMOON.  Why? Hum!  The honeymoon is where you booth start your real life together.  The wedding is the dream.  It is beautiful, lovely and should be everything you both ever wanted.

HONEYMOON, have traditionally been about what the man wants.  That is no longer true.  Men and women desire time well spent on their honeymoons.  Imagine a large wedding spending thousands of dollars and then coming home to a flat.  That how the future thoughts of one another will be, flat, she will blame you, you will blame him, etc.  Big weddings need to have Big Honeymoons so your high expectations of one another can continue.

Setting expectations:  What are their expectations to be set in a HONEYMOON?  We have wedding expectations, why not honeymoon expectations.  How will he perform?  Right!  Men wonder this about woman all the time.  Does your man wear the right lingerie to light the flame within you?  Does he expect you to wear the lingerie and do all the work to get him aroused?  If he expects this from you, are you not supposed to expect it from him?  Equally yoked right?  Expectations of one another are set by so many of social expectations that I make my clients have time to speak to one another of their desires.  No, I am not there when they are talking about it.  But I do help them find help if they are having difficulties talking about it because family members have their expectations as well.  To be able to discuss, communicate with one another on expectations for ones future is the beginning of a relationship that works for both parties.  If you can’t talk about the “HONEYMOON” the relationship part of it all, you just might not be ready to get married.  The “HONEYMOON” is something a couple should be able to discuss throughout their whole marriage.  Without it the marriage is questioned.  Mainly it is questioned within the couple, when the couple is made to doubt about themselves then the world (family, friends) question.  Mainly, because we speak of this to our friends trying to correct it, if you can talk to each other about intimate things at the beginning of the marriage you should be able to throughout your marriage.  You can always start the conversation with remember our “Honeymoon” discussions.  We each have an obligation to ourselves, and our partners.  In Christian marriages it is to our partner and then us.
