Commandments of Marriage

Is this really true or just a joke!!! Keep reading and wish you
a nice weekend!!

Commandment 1. Marriages are made in heaven.
But so again, are thunder and lightning.

Commandment 2. If you want your wife to listen
and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your
sleep.

Commandment 3. Marriage is grand -- and divorce
is at least 100 grand!

Commandment 4. Married life is very frustrating. In
the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the
woman listens. In the second year, the woman
speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both
speak and the neighbours listen.

Commandment 5. When a man opens the door of
his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: Either the
car is new or the wife is.

Commandment 6. Marriage is when a man and
woman become as one; The trouble starts when they try to decide
which one.

Commandment 7. Before marriage, a man will lie
awake all night thinking about something you say. After
marriage, he will fall asleep before you finish.

Commandment 8. Every man wants a wife who is
beautiful, understanding, economical, and a good
cook. But the law allows only one wife.

Commandment 9. Marriage and love are purely
matter of chemistry. That is why wife treats husband like
toxic waste.

Commandment 10. A man is incomplete until he is
married. After that, he is finished..

Bonus commandment story.

A long married couple came upon a wishing well.
The wife leaned over, made a wish and threw in a penny.
The husband decided to make a wish too. But he
leaned over too much, fell into the well, and drowned. The
wife was stunned for a moment but then smiled, "It
really works!"

A Chinese Blessing!!

A water bearer in China had two large pots, each
hung on the ends of a pole which he carried across his
neck.

One pot had a crack in it, while the other pot was
perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.


At the end of the long walk from the stream to the
house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For a full two years this went on daily, with the
bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of
water to his house.

Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its
accomplishments, perfect for which it was made. But
the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own
imperfection, and miserable that it was able to
accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.

After 2 years of what it perceived to be a bitter
failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the
stream...

"I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side
causes water to leak out all the way back to your
house."

The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that
there were flowers only on your side of the path, but

not on the other pot's side?

That's because I have always known about your flaw,
and I planted flower seeds on your side of the path.
Every day while we walk back, you've watered them. For
two years I have been able to pick these beautiful
flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just
the way you are, there would not be this beauty to
grace the house."

Moral:
Each of us has our own unique flaws. We're all
cracked pots.
But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that
make our lives together so very interesting and
rewarding. You've just got to take each person
for what they are, and look for the good in them.

Perfect Timing for my Friend Who's Looking for Modern Furnitures

This is just a perfect timing. I got a friend who will be going back to the States after their work contact in Germany. They had been looking for furnitures here to be brought to the US but I guess it is very impossible. Besides that the prices here in Europe for furnitures are really very high, in addition to shipping will really be more expensive.

Besides that the current exchange rate of Dollar versus Euro is also very high. Her husband earns dollar (working anyway in one of the US bases here) here in Germany, so I guess they won't buy for such expensive furnitures here.

The last time I spoke to my friend, she mentioned about buying especially for a modern bedroom for them and another one for their only child. I believed, she will be happy if I will tell her about modernline Furniture. I already knew my friend's taste like being so always modern and stylish. Guess below is the perfect one..


Anyway, it's not really a problem with choosing a modern bedroom at Modernlinefurniture.com because they always have cheaper, qualitative, and quantitative items to choose from. They also have unique and exclusive models, colors and styles.

She will probably be surprised once I tell her about modernline Furniture. Not only that, they deliver anywhere in the US with a flat-fee shipping cost regardless of any order size. She can also have a variety of choices with a very reasonable and competitive price in looking for her modern bedroom.

A Valentine Quote

Love has no desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires;
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

-Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

St. Valentine

Valentine was a holy priest in Rome, who, with St. Marius and his family, assisted the martyrs in the persecution under Claudius II. He was apprehended, and sent by the emperor to the prefect of Rome, who, on finding all his promises to make him renounce his faith in effectual, commended him to be beaten with clubs, and afterwards, to be beheaded, which was executed on February 14, about the year 270. Pope Julius I is said to have built a church near Ponte Mole to he memory, which for a long time gave name to the gate now called Porta del Popolo, formerly, Porta Valetini. The greatest part of his relics are now in the church of St. Praxedes. His name is celebrated as that of an illustrious martyr in the sacramentary of St. Gregory, the Roman Missal of Thomasius, in the calendar of F. Fronto and that of Allatius, in Bede, Usuard, Ado, Notker and all other martyrologies on this day. To abolish the heathens lewd superstitious custom of boys drawing the names of girls, in honor of their goddess Februata Juno, on the fifteenth of this month, several zealous pastors substituted the names of saints in billets given on this day.

The Origin of St. Valentine

The origin of St. Valentine, and how many St. Valentines there were, remains a mystery. One opinion is that he was a Roman martyred for refusing to give up his Christian faith. Other historians hold that St. Valentine was a temple priest jailed for defiance during the reign of Claudius. Whoever he was, Valentine really existed because archaeologists have unearthed a Roman catacomb and an ancient church dedicated to Saint Valentine. In 496 AD Pope Gelasius marked February 14th as a celebration in honor of his martyrdom.

The first representation of Saint Valentine appeared in a The Nuremberg Chronicle, a great illustrated book printed in 1493. [Additional evidence that Valentine was a real person: archaeologists have unearthed a Roman catacomb and an ancient church dedicated to Saint Valentine.] Alongside a woodcut portrait of him, text states that Valentinus was a Roman priest martyred during the reign of Claudius the Goth [Claudius II]. Since he was caught marrying Christian couples and aiding any Christians who were being persecuted under Emperor Claudius in Rome [when helping them was considered a crime], Valentinus was arrested and imprisoned. Claudius took a liking to this prisoner -- until Valentinus made a strategic error: he tried to convert the Emperor -- whereupon this priest was condemned to death. He was beaten with clubs and stoned; when that didn't do it, he was beheaded outside the Flaminian Gate [circa 269].

Saints are not supposed to rest in peace; they're expected to keep busy: to perform miracles, to intercede. Being in jail or dead is no excuse for non-performance of the supernatural. One legend says, while awaiting his execution, Valentinus restored the sight of his jailer's blind daughter. Another legend says, on the eve of his death, he penned a farewell note to the jailer's daughter, signing it, "From your Valentine."

St. Valentine was a Priest, martyred in 269 at Rome and was buried on the Flaminian Way. He is the Patron Saint of affianced couples, bee keepers, engaged couples, epilepsy, fainting, greetings, happy marriages, love, lovers, plague, travellers, young people. He is represented in pictures with birds and roses.

My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
