Is Your Marriage Built to Last?
by valibeachum

Anyone can get married, but what sort of marriage do you want to have? Anyone can have children, what will be the outcome of those kids? There are many people who are alive today. What sort of life are they living?

We've seen many people, celebrity couples included with all their looks, talents, fame, and money get married and divorce after a few years. The question isn't about how awesome the wedding day was or how lovely the bridemaids looked.

It's not just about doing something or having something. The question is, "Is it made to last?" Or will it be one of those things that crumble with time, pressure, or circumstances? You only get out of something what you put into it. No skyscraper suddenly dropped on the scene. Take a building for example, the greater and stronger you want the structure to be, the deeper you need to dig before you lay a foundation for building. The higher the building, the stronger the foundation has to be.

Do you want your marriage to last? Do you want your children to turn out right and be worthy contributors to the world they live in? Do you want to live a life that overcomes challenges? Then you need the necessary information and knowledge that will help you reinforce the relationships of your life.

Why do most marriages fail?
Most things in life fail because people fail to plan. You know what they say,

"If you fail to plan, you have planned to fail."

A lot of people plan for many things. They plan their careers, they draw out plans for a business. Oh, and let's not forget, they definitely plan their weddings. But I've noticed that many couples never make a plan to strengthen and ensure that their relationship lasts.

But what is a plan without a purpose?
The reason why we make plans is because we want to achieve a certain purpose or goal, isn't it? People make business plan because they want to achieve certain goals. Before you can make a good plan for your marriage to last, you need to know the things that you want to achieve in getting marriage. What's the purpose for this marriage? Does your marriage have a purpose at all?

These questions are very important things to examine if you want to make sure that you're building your marriage to last. Remember if you fail to plan, you have planned to fail.

Dating Over 50: It's Never Too Late
by infoserv

Some people, no matter how old they get, never seem to get the hang of dating. Countless bad dates and cheesy pick-up lines could make you feel like giving up and staying single forever. You could be dating just to have fun, or you could be looking for a serious companion. You must keep a positive attitude and learn that with age comes experience. And experience is the best teacher! Take your emotions and the emotions of the other person into account when evaluating a date.

Don't rush dating. There is nothing wrong with getting to know someone before you date someone. Dating over 50 does not mean you're running out of time. Rather the opposite. You are experienced and have learned that to get along with someone, you must find that perfect match. Knowing someone prior to an actual romantic date takes the stress out of putting on your best face when getting to know someone. Most people try so hard to impress someone that they forget to relax and be themselves. When dating, at any age, you want to get to know someone well, before taking that important "next step". And both people need to relax in order to show their real selves.

The dating frame of mind changes with age. The emphasis of marriage and children is practically gone by this point in a persons's life. Most people dating over 50 are just looking for a person to have a great time with. Some are divorced or widowed. Others are still in search of the right person to spend their life with. You can be assured that if someone is dating over 50 then they have been there, done that, and know exactly what they want and don't want in a mate. They have
"been there" and are usually set in their ways. This does not mean that they can not change, it just implies that is unusual.

As with most types of dating, there are sites devoted to dating over 50. "Prime Singles" is a dating site specializing in the over 50 crowd. You can browse in your area or across the world to find your perfect match, and its all for free. Whether you are seeking someone who is over 50, or are over 50, its almost impossible not to find a match. Dating over 50 can be just as fun as dating when you're 20. You're never too old to date and it's never too late to fall in love.

The Importance of Just 'Talking'
by mphcoach

Building relationships with your people is the most valuable action you can take.

This week, make the time to get to know your people better. Create spaces in your diary to have some conversations with them which will build rapport.

This makes a big difference if you are to build together as a team.

All business is built on relationships - even virtual ones where the only connection between a vendor and customer is virtual.

For most of us, face to face relationships are the order of the day, yet we find it hard to spend enough time getting to know the people we work with and who are so valuable to the overall performance of the business.

Here are six things you can do to start this off, to great effect:-

1. Plan time in your diary to just 'hang out' with your people. Let conversations go their way, not yours - yet be relaxed about it.

2. Find something that interests each and every one of your people personally, and listen hard to what they say.

3. Ask more open questions (what, how, where, who, when, why etc.) about their interest - especially about what they have told you.

4. Hold off talking too much yourself - especially your own agenda.

5. Don't be too preoccupied with 'business only'. If you build a relationship about their interests first, the opportunity to make business discussions stick will be all the more easy.

6. It's all about 'Just Talking' - remembering that the talking is not mostly done by you - but by them. And your job is to facilitate them.

Relationships are built to last this way - and from these relationships your opportunities to develop and grow comes.
