Say Cheese Pictures, I have heard they say a thousand words, but I did not know that this saying would come into play while looking through my wedding album. Many thoughts crossed my mind as I viewed these pictures of my past. Although, I did not send out invitations, many people felt free to come and share in this special event. I was blessed to have all of my family to share this special moment. My husband to be looked like he was the happiest man in the world. Unfortunately, I looked at my photo it seemed as though no one could see i was dreading this occasion. I keep turning the pages and to my surprise the unthinkable faced me yes, a welcomed guest caught on film that picture spoke so loud I screamed in silence. Before, i get into my feelings Unfortunately, I had to say the words I do to someone who deserve the real wife for this prenuptial agreement. Oddly enough I passed out in the back room. The wedding reception was going on without me. As we proceeded to go to this seperated honeymoon I was dead to the world for three days. Life changed after marriage it began to be a bad strain on the both of us but we managed to go through at least 18 months of hardship. Consequentely, I began to drink silently and the arguments were outragous. My husband was always a drinker but I didnt notice while we were dating that it also changed him. He was a great provider but a horrible romantic. Still looking at photos I knew that my marriage was false from the beginning. It is sad to know that my dreams of becoming a wife have vanished like the snow would on a hot summer day. Alot happened after our first year annivesary we would fight and make up till ' fighting wasn 't worth it and making up had come to the point of hurry up. I knew I wasn 't giving my husband the attention he needed and he would find it elsewhere. As a result, I remember the times he would leave me in bed sleep or go over to my mother 's house and leave me alone, She came into play yes, that 's who i saw in
determine that he was asleep, and six or seven calls to get his attention in the
As a child, I didn't always understand the depth of my dad's addiction, or what it exactly meant. I didn't even view it as an addiction, rather just how things were. Living in a small house, there was no option to completely ignore it. The more he drank the more bellicose he became, and the more verbally abusive he became. Freshman year I wrote a letter to my dad because I'd decided that my passivity of the issue was no better than an endorsement of his behavior. I was angry with how he acted, and with myself for not knowing what to do about it. With my letter came empty promises: a promise to limit drinking, and a promise to
My husband's brother is well known for his selfishness. He was the best man in our wedding and gave the worst toast you could ever imagine. The speech was typed, single-spaced, on 5 pages, front and back. It lasted about 20 minutes and I (the bride) don't recall being mentioned once. The theme of the speech was "I'm losing my brother" and contained gems like "I can't believe he is getting married", "it's going to be so weird" and "we won't be able to hang out anymore". I was not welcomed to the family, not congratulated, not spoken to or looked at. And we get along just fine -- it wasn't intended to be disrespectful.

My father was diagnosed with liver and pancreatic cancer, a death sentence at the time, when I was 12. He battled it for about two years until he passed away in 2001. One would think after watching a close family member wither away, his body eaten up from aggressive chemotherapy and a more aggressive cancer, I wouldn't pick up the torch. Normal people would probably shy away from drinking or at least treat booze with a healthy respect. Guys like me start drinking after that. I used his death as an excuse to drink exactly the way I wanted to: uncontrollably.
When I entered the airplane I was as excited as a 6-year-old could be about losing the people she loved the most. The greatest aspect of my fear was the idea of losing my mother. As a child, I always

Marriage is when a man and a woman become one. It is an institution under which a man and a woman establish their decision to live as husband and wife by legal commitments, religious and social ceremonies and most importantly marriage is a union that offers the ability to bare children and raise them under an organized and stable union. Marriage is the foundation of a family, a protection and extension of the self. It is no wonder that when a marriage comes to an end, the effects are abounding. Divorce is a painful experience for the two people who have made a commitment to love one another through sickness and in health, for better and for worse, until death do you apart. But the effects of divorce are deeper than a lack of commitment for
Marriage is a very joyful event in a person’s life. However, unless much can be done in order to redefine the status of what marriage is all about, divorce and other marital problems will continue to arise tremendously. Divorce is tumultuous event in a married couple’s life. It does not only affect the financial status of the household, but rather it also affects the people that comprises the family especially the children. Families are experiencing many problems today, but the role of divorce in this picture has been frequently overlooked because its destructive effects have been subtle, yet insidious. When the divorce rate increased in the 1960s, few would have predicted its dire consequences three decades later. Yet divorce has changed both the structure and the impact of the family. Intimacy, time, effort trust and love is the key to have a peaceful and healthy relationship. Marriage for life is God's ideal, but divorce is a reality in our society.
Immediately, I filled with fear and tears. Not only was I being asked to describe joy and pain, I had to put off my own lingering shame issues to do it. Worse, I had to do it on camera and felt an immediate Christian obligation to offer some kind of hope to the viewer. I suited up emotionally with a prayer and my deepest breath in years. "Dear God, help me to not completely fuck this up! Please speak through me!"
I’ve been married ten years and it feels like 40. It was great at first-nights out in clubs, at parties, flirting, teasing and loving each other, or at least touching each other. We had no children to hold us down and a whole world of fun to experience. Then, it stopped. I can’t remember when, where or how. What I know is that for ten years I’ve been bound to this woman and all the practices of such a colourful marriage have been tried and are jaded; the feelings no longer evident. She is abrupt with her answers and retorts for the most part and otherwise silent, so we both have seemed to have taken our own practices elsewhere, fallen into another person’s arms and experience the same feelings anew.
...heavier friends. Also, since it takes my body about an hour to digest a drink, I should start to pace myself in order to assure that I do not drink deadly amounts. I have also had time to look within myself and truly reflect on my reasons for drinking. My self-evaluations led to the following conclusion: maybe I shouldn’t use alcohol as an escape from stress or depression because it doesn’t help, but rather it intensifies the feelings I am already experiencing. Alcohol is a drug and it’s surprising that it took an incident like this one for me to truly grasp the significance of making sure my drinking habits are at a level that is safe for my individualized body. Although this experience led to intervention with the ORL staff, in my case it was positive because I have gained the knowledge and self-realization that I needed to make healthier decisions in the future.

Since the creation of mankind, humans all over the world have fallen in love and believe that they have found “the one.” People get married and realize that it is not always “happily ever after.” A large percentage of couples are unable to maintain their relationship, because of this, they choose divorce. Many spouses, believe that this is the best solution to deal with problems between each other. However, many people think carefully before getting entangled into marriage. Nevertheless, divorce rates still continue to increase to this very day. It certainly looks as if divorces occur more now than they did 20 years ago. There are three causes of divorce: changing of a woman’s household status, financial situations, and lack of communication.
