Effective communication is vital in all relationships, but it is especially important in marriage. Effective communication is critical to developing a strong, healthy, and long-lasting relationship between couples. Communication is the means by which all other vital aspects of marriage are accomplished. If you love someone but don't express it via your words and actions, you aren't doing your spouse justice. If you trust someone, tell them so. Marriage and communication should go hand in hand. Communication is more than just sharing words; it also includes body language and tone of voice. Effective communication requires both sides to be honest, straightforward, and understanding. Love? Trust? Honesty? Of course, these are all important. But one factor that seems to be talked about much less is communication in marriage. The way a married couple discusses their issues, or if they discuss anything at all, is crucial to a sustained and fulfilling marriage.  The importance of com...

𝗛𝗶𝗺: Counselor Debby, can I kiss my partner while in courtship?" 𝗠𝗲: No, sir! You can't and you shouldn't. 𝗛𝗶𝗺: Why? It's just an ordinary kiss. There's nothing special. 𝗠𝗲: There's nothing like an 'ordinary kiss' between two lovers. And yes, kissing is special. Don't fall victim to the lie that there's nothing special about sharing kisses with the love of your life. Why would you be so interested in doing something for or with your lover, when you know it's not special? Doesn't it look odd? 𝗛𝗶𝗺: What if it's just a holy kiss between us?

Wi-Fi is just radio waves, and many things can cause interference. But a strong Wi-Fi signal can give you faster performance and better coverage distance, so it’s important to properly position and configure your router for optimal signal strength. I’ll show you how; it just takes a few minutes. Point the Antenna Up Routers generally have physical antennas that are adjustable. The antenna often comes pointed horizontally to fit the router inside its box. For maximum signal strength, position your router’s antenna vertically, pointing straight up. If you have two antennas, you won’t get better performance by pointing them in different directions. Position Your Router Properly Consider where you put your router. If you have a large home or office, place the router close to the center to maximize coverage. If you position the router at one end of the building, you may have poor (or no) signal at the other end. But keep in mind that if you already have you...

  I clearly recall eating my first pomegranate.! I remember growing up my mother loved fruits and vegetables; therefore I was exposed early to fruits, avocadoes, coconuts, and many other kinds of wonderful vegetables. My children visited their grandmother during the holidays last year, and when they returned, my daughter brought home some things that looked like dark red gigantic oranges, so I asked her to slice one for me. “Oh, these aren’t citrus,” she said. “They are pomegranates, and the insides resemble the rock structures found in volcanic eruptions. She then opened one to reveal the several faceted ruby arils inside. She then cut a piece off and gave it to me. It was love at first taste! Somewhere between cranberry and cherry, the juice from the arils was so delicious, I didn't even think about the seeds as I munched, swallowed, and reached for more. Pomegranates have now become a delight I look forward to every now and again. I always try to acquire some for home whenever I...
