Wants To Be Love?

Everyone wants to be in love!

When I ask people what they really want in a loved one, some of them can describe the person, some cannot. Some believe their right person exists, some do not. Some are looking to fill a void in their life, some are looking to make an addition.

But, when it comes down to it. everyone wants to be in love. Love seems to be the answer to all kinds of questions, the solution to all kinds of problems. Fine! Fine! But how to get that right person, the one to be in love with, is the secret.

After a bit of study, lots of observation and a good deal of experience it seems to me that a person has to know for sure what they want, rather than who they want. They need to know the qualities they want in another. To me high on that list is goodness. It is a great quality to insist upon in a loved one. I don't know how many people think of this, but it is extremely important. It covers a whole group of things like kindness, truthfulness, politeness, graciousness, unselfishness, generosity, and wholesomeness. To be good is more than following the rules. It is a sincere and essential quality of the heart. It lasts.

Not everyone is in love, as we think of it. That is, in love with another. But it is possible to be in love with the idea of being in love and stay there until that loved one shows up. Surely he or she will.

In today's world, we have a myriad of options: online dating, speed dating, blind dates, bars, parties, friends, church groups, supermarkets, libraries, and on and on. Yet, with all of these options (and many, many more), so many of us are still looking for that true love.

An Innovative Twist to a Wedding Venue: Balloons

A very interesting and innovative idea to decorate a wedding venue could be to add balloons to the list. A huge balloon arch with white and gold or maroon balloons woven together sounds and looks different and yet marks the event with style. The balloons could be colour coordinated to match with the rest of the theme. Balloons can be used very effectively to set the tone of your party.

Suppose you have the island wedding theme in mind, then bunches of blue, green and yellow balloons all around the venue would add a sense of cheer and island casual. A colour tone of cream/gold and maroon would lend a note of sobriety and formality to the event. Wedding Balloons floating around on the ground would add a fairytale touch to the whole occasion. You could even use Wedding balloons to arrive in style - arrive at your wedding venue in a hot air balloon! That's really doing things differently. Balloons may be used in an arch at the entrance or red balloons can edge the red carpet accentuating the theme.

Some decorators even use balloons as stand alone arrangements just like flowers around the venue of the wedding. Party planners and decorators use colour themes to great advantage to beautify and enhance this special day. Some couples use balloon decorations as wedding flavours - each guest may receive a pretty set of balloons tied in a creative fashion to take home. A small poem or some thoughts may be written down and tied to the balloons as a lasting memento to the occasion.

Balloons are a unique way to add pizzazz to a party or wedding reception.

Pursuit Of Happiness In A Marriage

by: John Khu
Happiness is a precious gift. The pursuit of happiness should direct one to look within oneself and to the love that surrounds us. Happiness means well-being, sound health, and calm mind. Man is a social being and in spite of the nuclear society we live in today, all our relationships make us what we are. And one of the most important of them all is the institution of marriage. Marriage means commitment, love and understanding. More often than not the pursuit happiness ends in marriage.

Marriage is a firm bonding based on love, passion and sexual desire. Each equally important in its own sphere as we know that life should have a complete balance of love and commitment. Marriage is an ultimate commitment of life to peruse the natural way to attain happiness.

Pursuit of happiness through a marriage however is an individualistic view. While even half a century earlier marriage was the ultimate goal, the contemporary world has seen a drastic change in the way relationships are viewed. While marriage is still a revered institution it is no longer a respectability and recognition mandate, especially for women. Both genders today are equally ambitious and successful which makes the pursuit for happiness all the more definitive.

A happy and successful marriage today entails partners who deserve each other. They are a perfect match intellectually, physically and emotionally. Pursuit of happiness in marriage also includes the achievement of material comforts that ease the way for two people to share a lifetime together.

Pursuit of happiness in a marriage depends on making the right choices. Since ancient times marriage has been a source to attain real happiness and fulfillment in life. Marriage brings a sense of completeness in both men and women. This philosophy is reflected in all religions and isms that teach us to look deeper within ourselves. Marriage is the most natural institution formed by man. Evolution has made humans realize their gender differences and compatibility. Marriage has given them a formal bonding and an atmosphere to raise their children.

The pursuit of happiness through marriage is therefore a phenomenon that has come down through generations. It is a time-tested and proven theory which holds true even today because it is result of not human actions but human belief. It is an intrinsic aspect of human practicality. That is why, while many customs have come and gone with civilizations, marriage has lasted over centuries. Man’s pursuit of happiness is incomplete without the sanctity and bliss of a wedded life.
