<3 Caitlynn

Me and my boyfriend have been going out for 2 years now. I was thinking of getting him 24 gifts for the 24 months that we have been together.. I wanted to get him small gifts that are meaningful/romantic(ex. a message in a bottle) and things that he could use…
My boyfriend is a black belt, break dancer, does winter and water sports, loves music/and making his own, artistic, and is very romantic and spontaneous when he does things for me.
If you could help me out that would be great. Thanks =]

Someone just told me you have to get counseling before they will issue us a marriage license? I’ve never heard of this before. What the heck are we supposed to talk about lol we don’t have problems. Well if its true where are we supposed to go to get it done?

im getting married April 21 and I would like to get advice from people who been there and contribute it in my guest book

The book is about two boys and a girl who go out at night and take some street signs that they want. there was a romantic interest between one of the boys and the girl. the girl takes the street sign that is the name of the boy she likes and the other boy takes a stop sign. as the kids take the stop sign down they here someone driving so they hurry up and take the sign down. the next day the kids here that a woman was killed by another car because there wasn’t a stop sign. as the book goes on the girl keeps thinking about what they did and thinks its all her fault because she helped take the stop sign down. finally near the end of the book she finally comes clean and tell someone.

my husband and i will be having our anniversary on june 21…. we just moved to germany, so i dont know any good restaurants or romantic places, so what could we do for this special day, and what should i get him for a gift…. we are both 19 yrs old, any ideas?
any wild and sexy ideas?

My husband had another baby with his ex-wife after only being married for 3 months with me. We separated and then came back, separated and now he wants to come back. We started marriage counseling today, he set up the appt and did the reseach himself. But I honestly really want to know if this is going to help us. We both want to be with each other and we both love each other but we argue just about every day.. what should I do? I love him dearly but I really don’t know if I have forgiven him for what he did. The therapist told us we have a long road ahead of us but that she could help us. He did participate in the counseling, he hugged me and told me and tells me every single moment that he loves me and wants to be with me. He has been very compassionate with me, everytime I cry he holds me and tells me that he loves me..
What do you all think? Is he really sincere.. You men out there give me some insight to this, please.

Recently i got engaged and i didnt feel comfortable with that girl; hence i cancelled the marriage. Girl is very arrogant and rude
Now girl father is sending mail to me stating, that i have to repay the full engagement expenses, failing which he will take legal action. please advice what should i do

I want something really special to give to my boyfriend. I am not looking for something expensive, I am looking more for something special. it doesn’t has to be really romantic, just something that he will remember and like; something fun.

I got his number from the phone book and I called and we had a long conversation on the phone. He seemed knowledgable, but he answers his own phone and runs his business at his home. Something just seems weird about him - the way he talks and stuff. I don’t know. What are some cues to look for to know if this guy is a weirdo or not?

My husband is getting out of federal prison soon. He has been in for 2 years and I am a little afraid that even though we want our marriage to be good now, it won’t be. I would appreciate any advice, espically from anyone who has been through having a spouse in prison. Thanks.

I spent all of last year pining over a boy with a boyfriend, and the entire summer crushing on a straight girl. Why don’t I have gaydar? I thought gay people evolved gaydar to help them know who to hit on in the bars and stuff! And here I am, in love with a (presumably) straight girl. What are some signs that a girl is gay that I can use in the future to meet bisexual or gay girls? When I’m hanging out with a girl I like, how can I hint to her that I’m interested without being too obvious? And how can I tell if she’s interested too? Help me! I’m lost…

We are coming up on our 6th anniversary and I need gift ideas…we just bought a house so we’re limited on funds…he’s romantic but not a “mushy romantic” Can ya’ll give me some gift ideas that aren’t going to break the bank PLEASE

Well this saturday I popped the question. I just played it by ear and when i thought the time was right, I did it!!! We were at a bar and grill at the beach. I saw my opportunity when the band took a break. I asked if i could get onstage next set. I told her I requested a song. Well when the band came on again, i was pulled up onstage, I introduced her to the crowed of over 200 peoploe and got on one knee and proposed. She said yes after a flurry of tears. She didnt expect it, she thought I was going to sing to her
Seeing her cry and watching her call all her family to let them know, ment alot to me to see her that happy. I’m teary eyed just thinking of it
Thanks for all the advice, I did end up coming to an idea on my own.
Thanks everyone.

she has never once said she had any intention of working on her marriage. she said everything she does she does for her kids….well they are of course her meal ticket…so why wouldn’t she? tlc has been trying to help this family for years…offering them counseling…free counseling from dr. phil. kate has blatantly refused!!!!!! tlc has had to waste hours and hours of horrendous taping b/c they can’t find anything “positive” to actually air on television. why is this woman so cruel?

Congratulations and good luck
OK, I will give you the secrets, if you follow them you will always be happy, I promise. You BOTH have to do this, make it a lifestyle, make it a character trait.
1. Make your spouse #1. If you receive pleasure from seeing them happy, YOU will be happy. If you compete for the attention, money, things, etc., you will not be happy
2. NEVER, EVER say bad words to your spouse, EVER. It is poison! Deadly poison! It is OK to disagree, even to be angry, but DO NOT call this person by bad names, make fun of them, ridicule what they do or say. If your spouse angers you or causes you a problem, say what it is and what is the problem it causes. DO not say “Hey a**hole, you left your socks on the floor again” You simply cannot. It is a knife to the heart and your spouse will bleed to death in time.
3. Remember, this is your SPOUSE, not your boyfriend. There is nothing about them that is dirty or shameful. Between you two all is safe, all is good. Be willing to experiment and be adventurous, there is nothing wrong with it, nothing is poison, demeaning, or degrading between two people in love. try it, you might like it, and maybe even you will take pleasure in pleasing your spouse.
4. Keep secrets between both of you, not from each other. And keep them secret! What is behind closed doors is for you only. You must be comfortable to say anything and do anything and not be ridiculed and not have your confidence broken. A couple should share very intimate moments and secrets, and it isn;t always about sex, it could be that you are afraid of the dark, it doesn’t matter. If one of you is afraid of the dark, the other needs to learn to live with sleeping with a light on and not say it is “stupid”
5. Always look for ways to please the other. when you have to send 43 emails for work, send another for your spouse. When you have to make 20 phone calls at work, call your spouse, say “I love you, I am very busy, but I was thinking of you” When you have to mail birthday cards to someone, mail a “love” card to your spouse. Everything you must do for work or life, learn to think of your spouse and give them one of whatever you are doing.
6. Make your home the place you WANT to be. It has to be safe and warm and free of stress, it must be the sanctuary, if it isn;t at home, where?
7. NO TV or work in the bedroom!
8. Kiss them whenever you can.
9. End every conversation, every note, every email with “I love you” Always it will be the last words they said to you. Say it 10 times a day, at least.
10. do as much as you can together. Help the other when you can. Always look for ways to help.
11. If your job interferes, cut back on the job, not on your spouse. Good wives and husbands are harder to find than good jobs.
12. Encourage and take pride in what the other does. Praise them for what they do.
13. Do this every day until you die
It is work, but I do not find it hard work. Today, my wife called me twice at work (I always answer, it is a cell phone ONLY her and the kids have the number for) she asked “are you busy, can you talk” I said “Yes, for a few minutes” she said “I really miss you today, more than usual and I wanted to hear your voice” The second time she said “I am really glad I met you and we got married” Do you think this is a problem? Do you think this interrupts me? Not at all.
Do these things every day and you will be happy. Good luck.

For the longer, more specific and event driven question, see the link in additional details.
I’ve known a girl for a month (I had taken her to my prom). Two weeks ago we spent some time together, at her sister’s grad party and at a store. She had shown some signs of liking me such as saying “I’m so glad I’ll get to see you through the whole summer,” touching me in friendly places but frequently, pressing against me while we sat next to each other, and when it seemed like we were headed for her house, telling me that I can see her room. This wasn’t the only time she acted like she liked me, it was just that this time was more obvious. At school two of her friends told me on separate occasions that she likes me. We had a date set for last week to go to the movies, where I was going to tell her I like her.
It turned out (over myspace) she had to go out of town for the whole summer, and she apologized. She had gotten a boyfriend the day I found that out, and I didn’t mind because it’s not like she’s here and we had no prior commitment, especially since I haven’t told her how I feel. Also, I know it’s going to fail because all the boys she dates cheat on her or do something else, or they just tend not to last long. My plan was to take the opportunity to get to know her more while we were apart so we could establish a stronger friendship when she came back in town. We talked over myspace until recently she stopped replying to my messages. We haven’t talked in a week, I have no idea what’s going on, what should I do? If she doesn’t like me anymore, I should have known it was too good to be true. I’m not a thug, I’m not tall, I can’t drive yet, I’m not buff yet (I have a slightly visible six-pack mostly because I’m skinny and my arms are average sized), and I actually care about whoever my current interest is, which no girls today want.

Don’t need gift ideas - just something to do he’ll appreciate! Birthdays have never been special and I want this one to be!

My husband won’t go to counseling, I plan to go to individual marriage counseling. I wonder does it work? help… i dunno how much faith i have in it, its really hard for me to talk about our relationship.

*Married under Hindu Law just 1 year back in India.
*Marriage not got registered by bride side.After repeated reminders even didn’t care and ultimately remained uncomplied till day.
*Premarriage made it clear to girl,neither interested to settle abroad nor interested to live separate from parents.
*On being differences the girl left the house along with her relatives after two months.But differences sort out and allowed to back.

*After mutual consent a pre-divorce aggrement in duplicate was executed on stamp value of desired amount and get it certified and registered with the Notary Public and delivered to either party in original.

*The legal consultant of the girls side was of opinion that petition will be filed after completion of 1 year of marriage.
*Before the time could materialized the girl left to USA without any pre-intimation to the lawyer.
*Under the circumstances kindly advice what remedy is available to the boy in case if he prefers to get second marriage , specially when marriage is unregistered and pre-divorce aggrement is available?
