Do You Know What You Need To Do In Order To Getting Your Ex Boyfriend Back?

by Jane Hatton

Getting your ex boyfriend back into your arms is really not that hard to do if you follow some simple steps. You need to analyze what happened in the first place and once you have those reasons pegged to be aware of them and let him know that you will change for the better.

This article will show you some simple techniques that you can use in order to get him back once again.

Knowing what broke the relationship up in the first place is a core reason to know. This reason could be irrefutable in nature but if it's a reason that can be fixed then the possibility of getting back together again is high.

As long as the core reason wasn't one of infidelity then you stand a very good chance of getting your ex boyfriend back following some strategies that I will detail shortly.

If you have had your relationship for a while, then you need to know what type of person you were in the beginning when you were being courted by him. You must have enjoyed his company or you wouldn't have lasted this long. Go back to that person and reacquaint yourself and maybe change your ways.

What happens with relationships is that we take things for granted and that's when problems arise. If you expect certain actions to happen and you don't get them how do you act? If your boyfriend holds the door open for you and you don't say thank you because you take it for granted that he's supposed to do that is a sure sign to failure of communication.

A simple thank you for the little things that he does for you is a great start. Simple and small gestures are a sure way to get a communication link re-established.

Just be the person you were that he was attracted to in the beginning of the relationship and you will do wonders for you and him.

Let time heal the psychological wounds, and then call him up for a coffee break to just talk about the weather. Make your conversation non-committal and let him know that are thinking about him all the time.

Talk about old times and the fun that you two used to have and see where that leads.

If you feel some sort of bond formulating then that's a good sign, if not then that's okay too. Remember that he's probably hurting and doesn't know how to say anything emotionally. Let him heal and let him know that you are still around.

Are you depressed and lonely because of a recent breakup? If you are and you want a solution and you want your relationship back then visit http://www.hopeandjoy4u.com to watch a video on exactly how to get your relationship back on track. You also have a chance to watch a testimonial video from people that have used these techniques successfully.

by David S Bishop

Divorce is the ending or dissolution of marriage before the death of either spouse. People opt for this unusual incident in their life when they feel that their partner is not compatible to them. There may be several reasons behind divorce, but one this is sure that no reason is incurable. People should not decide for divorce in hurry. Because, marriage is a pious lifetime bond between two people of different gender and it is meant to be a commitment of togetherness till the last breath of life.

Implications of Divorce

According to sociological studies, it is identified that divorce is the second-most stressful event in life, after the death of a spouse. It is often considered as one of the most hurtful periods in a person's life. Separation and Divorce is often related with grief-based sentiments over the loss of the desire to continue relationship. These sentiments include sadness, lethargy, depression, anxiety, anger, and other emotions.

The trauma caused by divorce is more painful and traumatic when couples choose option of legal divorce. It adds additional stress beyond the normal cases over the couples involved. For some time, it looks like relieving from a tough and unbearable relationship, but when the anger is over then divorced couples feel the gap in their life and value the importance of ex spouse in their life.

Popular Reasons for Divorce

There may be several reasons of excuses for divorce, but some of the most important and famous reasons are stated here:

1. Relationship dissatisfaction – Relationship dissatisfaction is a main cause behind divorce. It arises when a person starts thinking that his/her spouse is not according to their expectations or he/she is not a suitable match for him/her.
2. Presence of another relationship – In some cases extra marital affairs of either wife or husband becomes a reason for divorce. When they start comparing their spouse with current partner and find that his/her life will be better if they end existing relationship and start their life with new partner.
3. Lack of proper communication – It's true that current world is mad behind money and other materialistic things. In that case people are mad behind earning money, and they don't have time to spend with spouse. This lack of communication leads to dissatisfaction in sentimental as well as physical relations and lessen interest in spouse.

Apart from above described reasons there are other reasons also like financial problems, insecurity in relations as well as desire for more in relation.

Loss Of The Cross In The End-times

by Jason Witt

Jesus warned about the abomination of desolation appearing in the End-times. He told you to flee from the church when you see it. And it is when the sacrifices and offerings stop in the holy place--when the Cross is preached no more.


"Then when you behold the abomination of the desolation," Jesus said, "the thing spoken through Daniel the Prophet, standing in a holy place (let the one reading comprehend!) Then let those in Judaea flee unto the mountains.


"The one upon the roof, let him not go down to carry anything out of his house. And the one in the field, let him not turn back to carry his garments. But woe to those having one in the womb, and the ones nursing in those days. And pray that your flight into exile does not happen in winter, nor on the Sabbath.


"For there will then be great affliction, such as has not happened from the beginning of the world unto the present, nor in any way shall be. And unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be delivered. But because of the chosen ones those days will be cut short."


The abomination of desolation is mentioned in the prophecy of Daniel. It is related to the stopping of sacrifices and offerings in the temple. When the sacrifices stop being offered, the temple is in desolation, and it is an abomination unto God. When there are no sacrifices for sin, God can not forgive the sin. So the sin collects and mounts up as an abomination.


Jesus died on the Cross for your sin. He knew He was going to die when He taught His disciples about the Last Days in Jerusalem. And He knew He was the perfect and ultimate Sacrifice for sin. So when the holy place goes without the sacrifices offered for sin, it is not only the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem Jesus is talking about. He is talking about the Christian church in the End-times.


When the Christian church quits preaching the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the atonement of sins by His Death and eternal Life through His Resurrection, then the abomination of desolation is standing in the church.


Jesus was not talking only about the destruction of the temple with its ancient sacrifices as taught by the Law of Moses. Jesus knew He was a better sacrifice. So He spoke also of the Christian church in the last days. When your church no longer teaches the Death and Resurrection of Jesus as release from sins, it is time for you to flee your church.


Jesus mentioned those in Judaea because He came to preach to the lost sheep of Israel first, and He would not neglect them. The ones on the rooftops or in the fields were to flee immediately and not go back to bring anything of value with them. This shows the urgency of the situation. As soon as you realize your church does not teach the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus anymore, you are to flee right away and take nothing from that church with you.


Jesus mentioned also the woe for those with children coming. This is because in these End-times there is no future for these children on earth. They will not have a chance at a good life here on earth like there forefathers had. And they will face the tribulation at a young age.


Then Jesus taught what to pray for about fleeing in the Last Days. He taught you should pray your flight be not in the winter or on the Sabbath. This commandment is of prophetic significance.


You are to ask God for the summer instead of the winter. You are to ask for the progression of global warming. You are not to ask that it stops. You are to ask for the onset of climate change. This will be more like summer than winter for you. And you are to ask God for when to flee. You don't want to flee in times of Rest like the Sabbath. You want to flee in the midst of much business and not during a depression or recess.


Jesus says mysteriously that these Last Days in no way "shall be." This is because the tribulation of global warming is not caused by God. He gave Noah the Seal of the rainbow promising He would never destroy the earth again. So climate change is caused by people and is not a natural disaster. And therefore it is not something God "shall" ever do. God shall not destroy the earth.


And Jesus promises these End-times will be cut short for the sake of His chosen, or elect people. This means the tribulation happening because of all the natural disasters and wars and famines will be cut short in God's Mercy.


The abomination of desolation will stand in some churches, and when you see it happening you are to flee those churches immediately. This is the only way for your own tribulation to be cut short in these Last Days.

Comfort From His Coming

by Jason Witt

Jesus spoke of some of the trials of the End-times. He spoke of the wars and persecutions that must happen in the Last Days, and He spoke of the spreading of the Gospel that has already begun to happen, the Promise of His Return.


When His disciples showed Him the wondrous architecture of the temple in Jerusalem, Jesus told them not one stone would be left upon another. Soon after this His disciples asked Him, "What is the Sign of your Coming, and the End of the Age?"


"Take heed lest any should mislead you!" Jesus said, "For many shall come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ.' And they shall mislead many. But you shall hear of wars and reports of wars. Look to it, lest you be troubled, for all these things must take place, but not yet is the End. For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.


"And there will be famines and plagues and earthquakes in places. All these things are the beginning of birth-pangs. Then they shall deliver you unto affliction and shall kill you; and you shall be detested by all nations because of my Name. And then many shall stumble, and they shall deliver one another up, and they shall detest one another.


"And many false prophets shall arise, and they shall mislead many. And because of abounding lawlessness the love of many shall become cold. But the one persisting unto the End shall be saved.


"And this Good News of the Kingdom shall be proclaimed in the entire world, for a testimony to all the ones among the nations; and then shall come the End."


First Jesus was asked by His disciples about the End and His Return when He told them the temple would be destroyed. But His Answer was about the End-times coming much later than the destruction of the temple. And these Last Days are beginning now. The wars are coming--wars over food, wars over water, wars over energy, all of which are becoming scarce, and wars over beliefs.


Jesus said you must look upon these things so you are not troubled or alarmed. You shall not be caught by surprise when you see the Signs of the Last Days. You shall look for these Signs and expect what is coming. These Signs, Jesus said, are the beginning of birth pangs. And the wonderful Child being born is Jesus returning to His people.


No society on earth can survive the lack of resources threatening all nations. Rich or poor, every nation will lack water and food. This is why they will deliver you unto affliction and perhaps even kill you.


Yes, you too will be afflicted with the decline of civilization as you know it today. And you will be afflicted by the faithless people of the world because you still believe in Jesus and His Return.


There will be much sin and hatred abounding, and many false prophets arising who will mislead many people. Sin will abound so much that the love of many people will grow cold. But if you persist, if you endure, you will be saved. So when you continue in your faith in Jesus, and continue in love and forgiveness as much as possible while suffering in these Last Days, the wonderful Child Jesus will be born unto you in His Return.


The Good News of the Kingdom of God has already begun to be preached to whole world. Missionaries have been sent to all the countries on earth to bring the Message of salvation to those people who did not know of it before. This began about a century before the second millennium, ushering in the beginning of the End-times. So all countries in these Last Days have had a chance to hear the Gospel.


There will be wars coming and you will be afflicted and delivered up. So if you don't get killed, how will you survive the End-times? If you keep faith in Jesus He will return for you. These are birth pangs, and you will soon have the Child Jesus born to you again.


And God will comfort you. When you turn to God He will treat you with kindness and mercy. He is tender-hearted toward you when you are betrayed and persecuted by people in the world. He will be your comfort and you know when you die you have the Hope of spending eternity in Heaven. And in your submission to death you know you will soon meet God.


Climate change, or global warming, is going to cause the famines and plagues and then the wars of these Last Days. But suffering through this is a reason to rejoice, for it means Jesus will Return soon.

Engraved Wedding Favors - are they worth the money?

by Suzanne Daykin

Engraved wedding favors are on my list of wedding items that if your wedding budget is tight you would be better off without them. The sad fact is that lots of your favors will end up being forgotten, either on the table at the reception or tucked away in a drawer at home.

You already know the wedding guests that will love the engraved photo frame with your names and wedding date; grannies, mums, aunties and old family friends. If your heart is set on engraved wedding favors buy them for these guests only. For the rest of your guests buy the same gift but without the engraving, they are more likely to treasure the gift as they would be happy to have it displayed at their home. The hard fact is if you put your name on it and if they remember to take it home it will have a short life on display.

To make your engraved wedding favors more appealing you could keep it simple with a thank you engraved on it or a discreet date and initials. This way you are saving yourself money and giving a gift that is appreciated and used.

The best favors to give are those that will be used, for men a pen knife or a watch - these are practical gifts and avoid the engraved tankards and cufflinks, they will be worn or used at the wedding but it is unlikely anyone will wear 'bestman' engraved cufflinks anywhere else. Unless they can't find any other cufflinks when they are getting ready one day! And I don't know anyone that will bring out an engraved tankard for a relaxing beer at home!

If you have the money the best engraved wedding favors are those that are personalized with your guests names, a beautiful jewellery box or a watch with a bridesmaids name engraved on it will be treasured for years.

If you are ordering engraved wedding favors it is worth talking with companies that provide corporate gifts, you will find that they will be more competitive as they are not quoting prices with that magical wedding mark up! Before you order just think will your guests appreciate the extra cost of the engraving?

5 Cruise Pickup Tips

by Blue Wave Ted

I'm on a roll with cruises! Remembering my short romance made me remember the techniques I used to get a female companion while on a cruise. I'm no smooth operator, but these seem to work for me. If you're going to be stuck on one alone, it's really better if you get someone to hang out with and talk to, even if it's non-romantic. Who knows? You might find the one for you on a cruise with these tips!

1. Breathe confidence. Sure, some girls like the shy, hesitant type, but you can't really sense that right away. For most girls, the most important thing is confidence. Many women respond positively to it. Smile. Stand tall and move tall. Use confident strides. When trying to pick up a girl, act confident, but not too confident, lest you seem arrogant. She has to feel that you're sure she'll talk to you, and if you don't, big deal. If she rejects, take it with grace and exit with your head held high.

2. Pickup lines? Who needs them? Unless you have an especially creative line that's sure to work, don't use them. They don't work more often than not. Rely on more situational circumstances where those lines will actually work. Speaking of which…

3. Use terrain to your advantage. There are lots of ways to start a conversation. A great way to do this is when someone's outside, on deck. If she's leaning over the guardrail, enjoy the view too before approaching her. If she's relaxing on the recliner, get her a cool drink if she runs out. If she's tanning, don't offer to put lotion unless you have enough balls! If you're in a bar, standard bar rules apply. Are you in the buffet? Ask her if you can sit next to her or opposite her. Be sure she's relaxed enough to accept your offer!

4. Talk about travel. Since you're both on a cruise, use that as an opening line. Ask them if they're enjoying themselves. Ask them if they go often. If both of you are cruise regulars, exchange travel experiences. I've met quite a few friends this way! Fellow travelers love to tell stories, so take advantage of that. Be sure to let her speak, too! And remember to talk to her face, not to her chest.

5. Know when to back off. It may be hard at first, but you should sense when the woman doesn't want to talk to you any longer. When you see her look at her watch often when you're talking, try to end the conversation. Watch out if she's bored or unamused. Try to read her! If you leave without damaging your confidence, it will be easier to try for the next girl.

I'm not really a player, but I always look for a companion on a cruise, friend or more. It adds to the experience and enjoyment, since you meet someone new. How about you? What stuff works on a cruise?

Baiyat

by Dr. D.S. Merchant

The word baiyat, occurring 14 times in the Koran is derived from ba'ya meaning sale and purchase, bargain or transaction. In Arabic the word yabi'u means to sell, ba'a means he sold, al-bai'u means sale and al-baya means sale and purchase. In Islamic terminology, the term baya refers to an agreement or undertaking between the master and his followers. Other synonymous expressions appearing in the Koran are al-ahd (13:19-20) and al-mithaq (33:7, 5:14). Thus, baya or baiyat means an agreement or spiritual undertaking between the Lord and his followers. When one swears an oath of allegiance (baiyat), he gets guarantee from his Lord.

In Islam, the best example in this context is the Baiyat al-Aqba, which had been taken two times by the people of Medina from the Prophet on the hill of Aqba in Mecca. When the Prophet came in Medina, the Ansar women assembled in a house for taking oath of allegiance with the conditions that they would remain away from shirk, would never blame on others, would not commit theft, would never commit adultery and would not kill children. Another important illustration is the Baiyat al-Ridwan (the pledge of God pleasure) taken under a tree during the treaty of Hudaibia. The word ridwan is used that God well pleased (radiya) with the believers. These believers are also known as the ashab al-samra (the Companions of the tree). After the conquest of Mecca, the Prophet sat on Mount Safa and took oath of allegiance from the persons who embraced Islam, both men and women. The Prophet dipped his hand in a bowl of water and took it, then the women dipped their hands. After his farewell pilgrimage, the Prophet' caravan halted at the Ghadir al-Khum on 18th Zilhaja, 10/March 16, 632, where he declared Ali bin Abu Talib as his successor. Ali took the baiyat of the believers, known as the Baiyat al-Ghadir.

Cyril Glassee writes in The Concise Encyclopaedia of Islam (London, 1989, p. 69) that, "The installation or recognition of a ruler in his office takes the form of a pact, a bay'ah, which is an oath of fealty or allegiance. This is made with the ruler by the subjects, or, on their behalf, by the body of religious scholars, and political chief. Initiation into a Sufi order is also in the form of pact made by the novice with God through the spiritual master."

The Shi'ites maintain that bay'a is an oath of allegiance, a solemn pledge and binding covenant made with the Imam of the time to render obedience to him in all matters, which remains forceful unalterably in the relationship between the followers and the Imam. A well known hadith relates: "Whoever dies without a pledge of allegiance on his neck has died a pagan death" (man mata wa-laysa fi unuqihi bay'atun fa-qad mata mitatan jahiliyah).

"Hence, it is necessary for you that you should remind yourselves of the covenants that you have made with the Imam and the terms of the covenant that you have taken upon yourselves to fulfill. If you ignore inadvertently or forget or treat lightly any of those terms, then the moment you realize your mistake you must atone for it by repentance and do what you have omitted to do. If you have forgotten the terms or some part of it then renew them by reviving the terms of the covenant. Admit your guilt and repent to God and to the Imam. If you persist in your mistakes or your ignorance then you will appear before God as One who had ignored His sign on earth and broken his vow with Him" (Kitab al-Himma).

Mumtaz Ali Tajddin S. Ali is an popular Ismaili Scholar, He has written many surveys on religion of islam and ismailism such as Baiyat, 101 Ismaili Heroes, Ismaili Imams biography, Jubilees, history and tradition.
