CC: Sweet Gestures

What makes couples happy? What makes marriages last? Terri Orbuch (a research professor and a marriage-and-family therapist) and her team mentioned the secrets of happy married couples:
"Really great marriages are not the result of long hours of hard work, but of everyday behaviors and attitudes, seemingly small gestures that show your spouse that he or she is noticed, appreciated, respected, loved and desired"

So, the secret of a happy couple is the small stuffs, the small gestures that we do often such as:

• Hubby tells me that I always look beautiful.


• I bring him coffee in bed in the morning; he brings me a glass of warm water in the night.


• Every time he’s leaving home; he kisses my forehead; and I kiss his hand.


• Before going to bed, we’re forgiving each other and holding hands.


• When he’s tired, I always massage him (and vice versa).


• If we’re in the middle of a misunderstanding and one of us is pointing forward the bended little finger, the other isn’t allowed to reject the reconcilement invitation. This funny way can always break the ice; and it becomes a good start to communicate heart by heart.

Those are some of ours. Visit Couple's Corner if you want to know more stories...

Make Your Home a Child Proof Home

Dear parents, of course, you want your home to be a safe place for your child. But have you known that accidents at home often happen to children that normally move very actively? Independent Research Institute of USA, in 2008, records that there are 15,000 accidents cases that children experienced at their own home. A house becomes the second place where accidents happen after roads and vehicles.

The cause of accident at home is arranging and choosing furniture and room design that less pay attention to child safety factor. Whereas, children move and play everywhere, so that they are in high risk to get an accident, like struck down by television, stick in cables, get a shock from electricity, or bump into sharp and pointed angles of furniture. Don’t worry, with a little care, many incidents can be prevented.

First, you should increase your knowledge on how to baby proof your home by reading child safety tips. And then you can decide what proper baby proofing products that you need to apply at home. Finding baby proofing products can be so difficult if you don’t know KidSafe.

With KidSafe, you’ll get what you need because they offer a wide variety of the highest quality child safety products (more than thirty categories).

CC: Sacrifices for Loved Ones

Being a youngest and the only daughter in my family, I feel that my life is full of sacrifices. I dedicate my life to my loved ones. I’ve never thought to achieve my own dreams.

Since my mother was seriously ill, I knew that my life was changed. I had to accompany and took care of her. I’ve ever worked for years, but I’ve never dreamed of a good career.

After she passed away in 1999, I stayed at home with my father. My three other brothers stay in different towns with their own families. I realize (again) that I have to accompany my father. I can’t leave him to pursue my own dream. When I introduced my hubby (now) to my father, he straightly said that he didn’t want me to be bring out of home. I was grateful that my hubby can understand the condition and we stay together at the same house until now.

I’m also a stay at home woman; but for me, it isn’t a sacrifice, because I myself made the decision. I prefer to have my time flexible. If we’re sincere, we will feel pleased with our sacrifices…

What about your story? You can share it with us at Couple's Corner.
