Download or read book Letter to My Partner Words of love and perspectives on marriage written by Felix Cheong and published by Marshall Cavendish International Asia Pte Ltd. This book was released on 2022-01-15 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspiring insights on what is often unsaid In the last volume of our Letter series, we invited 18 contributors to write to their partners. These heartfelt words are at once a celebration of romance and that first flush of love. Perhaps what needs to be said, things to be thankful for, but they’ve never had the chance to do so. Perhaps hurts they had inflicted over time on their partners, but never made amends for; such matters left unresolved eventually become a thorn in the relationship. These private words, publicly uttered, reflect on how marriage is not always the happily-ever-after movies portray it, but a coming-to-terms with differences and distances, trauma and pain. Contributors include: Jon Gresham, Donna Tang, Hamish Brown, Ning Cai, Marc Nair, Baskaran Narayanan, Nuraliah Norasid, Anisa Hassan, Tara Dhar Hasnain, Laila Jaey, Shirlene Noordin, Md Sharif Uddin, Hernie Mamat, Fann Sim, Shirley Kwan, Amy Chia, Paul Rozario-Falcone, Adib Jalal

Download or read book My Wife Said You May Want to Marry Me written by Jason B. Rosenthal and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inspiring memoir of life, love, loss, and new beginnings by the widower of bestselling children’s author and filmmaker Amy Krouse Rosenthal, whose last of act of love before her death was setting the stage for her husband’s life without her in the viral New York Times Modern Love column, “You May Want to Marry My Husband.” On March 3, 2017, Amy Krouse Rosenthal penned an op-ed piece for the New York Times’ “Modern Love” column —”You May Want to Marry My Husband.” It appeared ten days before her death from ovarian cancer. A heartbreaking, wry, brutally honest, and creative play on a personal ad—in which a dying wife encouraged her husband to go on and find happiness after her demise—the column quickly went viral, reaching more than five million people worldwide. In My Wife Said You May Want to Marry Me, Jason describes what came next: his commitment to respecting Amy’s wish, even as he struggled with her loss. Surveying his life before, with, and after Amy, Jason ruminates on love, the pain of watching a loved one suffer, and what it means to heal—how he and their three children, despite their profound sorrow, went on. Jason’s emotional journey offers insights on dying and death and the excruciating pain of losing a soulmate, and illuminates the lessons he learned. As he reflects on Amy’s gift to him—a fresh start to fill his empty space with a new story—Jason describes how he continues to honor Amy’s life and her last wish, and how he seeks to appreciate every day and live in the moment while trying to help others coping with loss. My Wife Said You May Want to Marry Me is the poignant, unreserved, and inspiring story of a great love, the aftermath of a marriage ended too soon, and how a surviving partner eventually found a new perspective on life’s joys in the wake of tremendous loss.

Book excerpt: I am a teacher. I teach about relationships because after two failed marriages (and add another two that failed for my husband), I just had to learn how to do it and how to get it right. It is said, “We teach what we have to learn.” Anyone who knows me will tell you that when I decide to do anything, I do it with all of me. When something works for me and helps me grow and improves the quality of my life, I am steadfast. Since I began to learn how emotions work, and then began to recognize mine and the effects of healing those old ones that never got expressed, I have been 100% committed to use what I learned and the results in my life have been almost unbelievable. A few years ago I started looking at what we had in our relationship that most others don’t seem to. I wondered, “What are our secrets? And can I help others with them too?” Following are those things that we believe have created the quality and depth of our relationship and we believe they can do the same for you. When my husband died in 2015, we had had 31 years of a highly successful marriage and we'd like you to have the same. The book is divided into 10 chapters. The chapter headings are the 10 main secrets that we have learned and want to offer you. They are: Secret 1. You have to be real and you have to feel good enough about yourself to be real. Secret 2. Making your commitment to the relationship and not each other works way better. Secret 3. You can’t expect your partner to do anything you are unwilling to do like forgiving and giving up being right. Secret 4. You have to learn how to communicate honestly and appropriately. Secret 5. You have to remember that love includes compassion and non-judgment. Secret 6 . You have to be aware when the connection is dying and do something about it. Secret 7. You have to let them know they’re doing a good job. Secret 8. You have to own up when you’ve messed up – and learn from it. Secret 9. You have to get that a good relationship is sacred and make time for it. Secret 10. You have to own the whole job – take full responsibility. After four failed marriages between us, we were determined to learn how to make this a good one. We learned. There are some very special things we noticed after all of those years and we wanted to help you learn them too so you can wake up one day and notice how many years have gone by and you still have the relationship of your dreams.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book walks each of us through the reality checks we need in order to have the marriage we want!” —Shaunti Feldhahn, social researcher and best-selling author of For Women Only In today’s workplace, women are often rewarded for having type A personalities: driven, demanding, ambitious, and strong. Yet when it comes to their marriages, those same traits can backfire. After all, no one goes into marriage hoping for a promotion. What is a wife to do? April Cassidy knows this struggle firsthand. She thought she was a great Christian wife and begged God to make her passive husband into a more loving, involved, godly leader. Instead, God opened her eyes to changes that she needed to make, such as laying down her desire for control and offering genuine, unconditional respect—not just love—to her husband. Cassidy’s conclusions may be as startling to readers as they were to her, but The Peaceful Wife shares how she and many others have learned to reorient their lives to biblical commands—resulting in healthier, happier marriages. In the end, you’ll find The Peaceful Wife a powerful path to God’s design for women to live in full submission to Christ as Lord.

It can be hard to imagine. But it works. Nina Roesner has led countless women through this practical and life-changing journey, and in The Respect Dare she offers you the hope that so many others have found. Day by day, true stories and thought-provoking questions will help you apply biblical wisdom to the most important relationship in your life. The book is filled with stories of struggle and success, and many practical applications of respect that have dramatically impacted marriages. Give it forty days. Experience the intimacy God intended and discover what he can do in your heart and in your marriage when you choose to show respect his way.

Written to highlight the dignity and compassion of women, Letters to My Husband also identifies the type of man able to be the priest and the head this woman requires.

Book excerpt: "Sheila speaks to both the heart and habits of the woman who is wife and mother. The lessons in this book are biblical, doable, and affordable!"--Margaret B. Buchanan From advertisements to mommy blogs to Pinterest, scenes of domestic bliss abound, painting a picture of perfection and expectation nearly impossible to live up to. Why can't you work a full-time job, stylishly clothe yourself and your children, plan a party for twelve with handmade decorations, keep your house sparkling clean without chemicals, and bake a gourmet meal in the same day? Everyone else is doing it! For many women, housework has become more than chores that need to be done; it is a symbol of identity. Sheila Wray Gregoire wants to stop that thinking in its tracks and help women back to a life of balance--for their sakes and for their families. She encourages women to shift their focus from housekeeping to relationships and shows them how to foster responsibility and respect in all family members. The second edition retains the helpful, concrete advice on everyday situations such as strategies for tackling chores and budgets and tips on effective communication, while incorporating the wisdom Sheila has gained through her interaction with thousands of readers of her blog and through her speaking ministry over the past ten years. Through the principles in To Love, Honor, and Vacuum, Gregoire promises readers they can grow and thrive in the midst of their hectic lives--even if their circumstances stay the same.

The 'writing it down' part is not about time management; it is not a 'to-do today' list that will make you feel guilty if you don't get everything done. Rather, writing it down is about clearing your head, identifying what you want and setting your intent. You can 'make it happen' purely by believing in the possibility. In WRITE IT DOWN, MAKE IT HAPPEN, there are stories from ordinary people who witnessed miracles large and small unfold in their lives after they performed the basic act of putting their goals on paper.
