[S239]Secrets To A Happy Marriage
by Leslie Gerard, Les

Communicate. When you stop communicating with your spouse, you're in trouble. It's important to be able to talk to one another about anything, including the good and bad points of a day. A successful marriage is one where happiness is celebrated and sadness is shared.

Make a date. Many couples find it difficult to spend quality time with one another on a regular basis. Whether it's work commitments or just a hectic day, it often seems as though scheduling time together is the only way to make it happen. So, rather than checking your appointment calendar, simply set aside one day a week for a ‘date night.' Both you and your spouse will ideally not schedule anything else during this time and will just make it a special evening for the two of you. Whether it's a trip to the movie theater, dining at a fine restaurant or just curling up on the sofa, making a date with your spouse is always fun.

Be honest. In any relationship, especially a marriage, honesty is important. One deceit, regardless of how small, can quickly turn into another and the endless cycle begins. The best way to handle any situation is to be honest with your mate. If in doubt, ask yourself how you would want to be treated if the situation was reversed. If you prefer honesty yourself, show the same courtesy to your spouse.

Discuss financial issues. Money is one of the leading reasons why most couples argue. Not only that, it's also a leading cause for divorce. Whether you have it or you don't, money can be a touchy subject. The best way to handle financial issues is to discuss them openly.

Express your anger immediately. Otherwise, it may build and gradually become worse over time. Whether you need to shout or cry, it's important that your spouse knows what's on your mind. Your mate cannot possibly rectify the situation if he/she is not even aware that one exists.

Laugh. Every successful relationship has laughter. If you've ever heard the old saying that "laughter is the best medicine," it's true. There's no better way to treat your relationship than with a few chuckles now and then.

Remember why you love your spouse. Even when things are rough, remember all of the reasons that you fell in love with your mate. Was it a smile, their loving heart, sensitivity, eyes or just an unexplainable feeling when he/she is near? Whatever it was, remember it always. Even when you do not like your spouse, keep in mind that you do love them.

Menopause is a passage that happens in every woman’s life. Whether one chooses to live it as an opportunity for renewal and changes or an ordeal is entirely up to us. There is little known tricks and tips that can help every woman live a better and more happy menopause. After all, this period of a woman’s life can be a perfect time to start or continue a fulfilling existence.

Every woman will experience menopause. This period of her life characterized by the end of her menses and other related symptoms does not have to be an unpleasant one, on the contrary. Menopause often happens between the age of 45 and 55 and last anywhere between one to ten years. Some women will experience early menopause due to hormone imbalance or surgical removal of her ovaries.

A woman should always rely on the expert opinion of a competent doctor and/or nurse especially during her menopausal years. Besides assuring herself of competent medical care, there is a list of things she can do to ensure herself of a happy menopause:

1)Menopause is a time to be selfish! After all, most women will have invested so much time and energy to forward their career and family by the time they reach menopause. Taking time for yourself is a nice return of the pendulum and a wise decision. In fact, a happy woman will be able to enjoy more life and participate more actively in other’s life as well. I am giving every menopausal woman permission to be selfish right here, right now.

2)The menopause years are a great occasion to renew friendship or make new ones. There is nothing more fulfilling than spending a “night out with the girls" for a woman in her menopausal years. She has more free time to enjoy those special bonding. It is a known fact that laughter is the best anti-aging cream there is so all those fun nights out will be worth the while.

3) Menopause is also a very good time for a woman to ask herself what she always wanted to achieve but never got around to do. Now that she has more free time, the menopausal woman can ask herself what is left on her accomplishment list that she would really enjoy doing.

4)Menopause is an essential time to review an important checklist: your health. Have you been neglecting your health, eating fast food, sleeping less than you need to, not exercising properly? The easiest will be to book an appointment with your health care provider and make sure that you can re-start exercising. A moderate exercise is always recommended to begin with. Walking is a perfect example of a good exercise you can do daily. You can also get a dog or even better borrow your neighbor’s so you don’t have the burden of taking care of it!


5)In your complete health check, you will need to address if you need supplements like calcium, vitamins. One thing is certain is that everyone needs to incorporate drinking water as a daily habit.

6)Your menopausal years might also be a very good opportunity to travel. You can ask yourself if there is a trip you always wanted to do. If money is an issue, you can get very creative about putting aside the necessary founding and get going sooner than you think.


7)With your children out of the nest, you might end-up with a free room in your house or apartment. Instead of letting this room get crowded with unnecessary clutter why not make it your project to create your “special room"? Again, this project does not need to be costly. With a little imagination, you can put a futon, nice cushions and candles and there you have your perfect room. What will it be: a little reading room? A sewing room? An exercise room? etc

8)Menopause is also a very good time to revive your romantic flame. Whether you have been with the same person for a long time or are looking for your soul mate does not matter. These years can be the special occasion to let love into your life wide open and start enjoying all the happiness you deserve.


9)Menopause is also a good time to revise your personal finances. Are they stable? Do you have enough to go by? Consulting with a financial advisor might be a very wise move.

10)Most importantly, menopause is the best time to pamper yourself and reward yourself for all that you have done so far. It might be a good time to start a great project that you always wanted to do. Such project could be coming on a medical mission and bond with people who have tremendous needs. If you are concerned about finding the money to bring such a project to completion, I can tell you that when I go on medical missions, many menopausal women come along. How did they get the necessary money you ask? They just raised the money or asked their local charity association (Lions, Knight’s of Columbus, etc). Do not worry, you don’t need a medical degree to be very helpful, you just need a big hearth!
