Understand That Changing Your Husband’s Mind About A Divorce Needs To Fell Like His Own Idea: Let’s get this out of the way. Do you like being manipulated or tricked? Of course you don’t. No one does. So, understand going in that you shouldn’t try to “trick” or “make” your husband change his mind about a divorce.

BUT, your actions can greatly contribute to his changing his mind and wanting to stay in or save the marriage. You can do things and act in a certain way that is going to make your husband WANT to stay on his own.

This is really the only way to do it because if you succeed in “convincing,” forcing, or bugging your husband – if you question him or beat him down so that he finally gives in just to stop the noise, this will back fire on you in the end. He will feel resentful. His heart will not be in it and when you eventually revisit talks of divorce the next time, he’s not going to allow you access to him to avoid a repeat of this negative experience.

Replacing Negatives Feelings And Actions With Positive Ones To Make Your Husband Want To Stay: Obviously, if your husband is wanting a divorce, there’s a lot of negative water under the bridge. Whether you’ve just grown apart or one of you has make a regrettable mistake, or you are suffering through a stressful situation, I’d be willing to bet that, when your husband thinks about the marriage, he (only right now, not forever) associates it with more negative feelings than positive ones.

To change your husband’s mind about the divorce, you must first change the negative emotions and experiences he’s feeling and associating with you and the marriage.

First, check yourself that you aren’t participating in any negative behaviors that are pushing him further away – like repeatedly arguing, belittling, engaging with, following, making threats, etc. It’s so easy to panic when your husband mentions a divorce and allow those feelings of panic to make you believe that you have to do something drastic to get your husband’s attention.

Unfortunately, doing so if only going to drive your husband further away and potentially make you appear less attractive to him. He will experience even more negative feelings when he thinks of you.

Am I saying that you should kiss up to your husband and let him off the hook when you really are angry? No, not at all. But, I’m suggesting that you try to get out your negative emotions some where else and that when you are with your husband, you present what you know is the best version of yourself (and the woman he fell in love with.)

When you feel the urge to do something that is unbecoming and not typical of you, ask yourself if the roles were reversed and your husband were acting the way that you are now, how attracted would you be to him? Be honest.

Now, I know you may be thinking (as I was), “Well, why am I the one doing all the giving? Why am I doing all the work?” True, it may seem this way at first, but think about this. You acted in such away when you were dating that your husband feel deeply in love with you. Did you feel put or inconvenienced then? I would bet not. I would bet that you were in love and deeply happy.

To save your marriage, you will need to get back to this place. It will make you both happier and more fulfilled.

One day, when I was arguing this very same point to a good friend of mine, she turned to me and said “Yes, Leslie, but would you rather by right or happy?” Well, duh. I wanted to be happy with my husband, not without him, but I couldn’t see that my actions were contributing to me not having this.

Don’t be indignant and unyielding all the way to divorce court. Understand that giving your husband more of what he wants will allow you to get exactly what you want, which is to save your marriage and return it to a happy, loving place.

How did I learn this? Through making a lot of mistakes, research, and trying new things when trying to save my own marriage when I was the only one who wanted to. Eventually, (though commitment and lots of effort), I was able to not only save the marriage, but make it stronger. You can read my very personal story of how I stopped the divorce (when I was the only one interested in doing so) on my blog at http://you-can-save-your-marriage.blogspot.com/

A Melbourne fashion retailer has even suggested that the Australian government subsidize lingerie makers to help save marriages. The managing director of Lethal Fashion Accessories, Gail Lee, says the bonds of marriage should be reinforced with satin, lace and marriage truckload of Federal Government cash. He wants the government to subsidize half the cost. Not surprisingly, the Government has not responded.

Lingerie has come a long way from the white bra and panties photos that graced our mothers’ Sears and Penney’s catalogs. Now firms such as Victoria’s Secret define what women want to wear to feel sexy and desirable to men. And, according to these sellers, it’s the men that are doing a good deal of the shopping lately, making purchases that replace flowers or candy for a hot bra/pantie set or a sexy see-through teddy!

Who are these lingerie buying women? That’s what Anderson Analytics, A Stamford, Ct marketing research firm, wanted to find out. The results of their research confirmed some assumptions and contradicted others. They found that the “average size” (meaning slightly plus size) American woman feels under served by firms such as Victoria’s Secret who cater to a smaller and younger woman. They also discovered that these marriage American women were surprisingly confident about their sexuality and had no qualms about buying and wearing lingerie. “Career women,” however, were more insecure about their body image that what was assumed. “Apparently, size has little to do with our image of ourselves, and corporate stress can have a negative influence on our confidence,” the report concluded.

Go to any lingerie store, whether it be a suburban mall or on-line, and you’ll be amazed at the variety of choices. The terms alone can be overwhelming especially for clueless males. OK men, let’s do some defining:

Baby Dolls – These are lacy short gowns that are typically open in front with a single tie. Most are sheer or semi-sheer. They usually come with a matching thong.

Monokinis – This is a one-piece swim type suit but with large openings to show more skin. Swimming is optional.

Jumpsuits/cat suits- One piece form-fitting head-to-toe suit, many with an opening in front to show skin, sometimes a lot of skin. Usually made of spandex.

Teddy – One-pieces, like the body suit; teddies are often adorned with lace and ribbon. A sexier style comes with garters and is worn with stockings.

Bustier – A figure forming bra with sides that come down to the waist. Think Madonna.

Booty shorts – This hot style is defined by ultra tight spandex shorts that ride high in the rear. Add a matching mini top and you’ve got a booty short set.

Chain mail- Bra and panty set of linked chain often laced with rhinestones – and little else.

Add in g-strings, mini-dresses, chaps, leather wear, and sleek fishnet hose and you’ve got a recipe for sexy fun that can infuse spice and variety into almost anyone’s relationship.

Filed Under: Be Decisive

There is NOTHING worse than being with a man who is indecisive in intimate moments. Look, lots of women enjoy being proactive and all, but you don’t want to stand idly by while she makes all the decisions..:-) Simply put, women enjoy a man who knows what he wants and goes for it.

Filed Under: The Houdini Act

Trust me when I tell you it’s a HUGE turnoff when you pick up and leave 3 seconds after it’s over. And I’m not talking about going home either. Heading to the living room to watch Sports Center counts. Hang out for a while…..she’ll appreciate it more than you know, I promise..:-)

Filed Under: The silent treatment

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a HUNDRED times. Women love a man who is communicative in bed. This means…be EXPRESSIVE. Speak. Whisper. Say things you wouldn’t ordinarily say…she’ll love it, I guarantee it. But not saying ANYTHING is simply NOT an option for good sex. It’s boring and women REALLY need our minds stimulated as well as our bodies. This goes a LONG way in helping make that happen!

Filed Under: Penis Size IS Important!

Women admit that they would prefer a man who COMMUNICATES passionately during sex (which means she wants a little lusty dialogue..:-), they want you to learn the landscape a bit better ( understand her body) and they PREFER a man who has a powerful anatomy (a thicker penis is preferable) You can improve all three of these with JUST a little effort..and in my experience, the REWARDS they offer are EACH worth their weight in earth shaking orgasmic gold..:-)

Many lingerie gifts are given to recipients for the purpose that they will wear them to feel sexy. Gifts of lingerie are usually given as very personal gifts and are deeply appreciated when they are received from someone who is close to us. Bridal showers are a primary opportunity for family and friends to shower the bride with their affection, good wishes and gifts of lingerie for the many nights that the bride and groom will share together as husband and wife.

If you want to see what is fashionable in lingerie, attend a bridal shower. At a bridal shower you will see it all. From sexy little babydolls to flowing sheer peignoir sets, you may see it at a bridal shower. You might see a few gag gifts too, like crotchless panties, pleasurable toys, stripper wear and other erotic items. Other than bridal showers, you will find that there are other occasions when lingerie is a popular gift of choice. You have male shoppers that shop for lingerie around Valentines Day – and men don’t shop for women’s lingerie with HER comfort in mind! Men look for shoes colorful and trendy intimate apparel and don’t have a clue about size. They usually require the help of a sales associate to select a gift of lingerie. Unlike what most people think, a man can express love and gratitude with gifts of lingerie. Lingerie creates passion! With online lingerie stores, some men choose to shop online to get that special romantic lingerie for the woman in his life. Online outlets also have the advantage of being impersonal and less embarrassing to a man who might otherwise be hesitant to shop for women’s lingerie in person. There are quite a few websites that have taken the difficulty out of shopping for lingerie. They are very helpful when it comes to sizing and returns – trust me, guys, they understand how it is to be a man shopping for these types of garments, and they know how to help you best.

If you want to shop ‘in person’, then you may have some obstacles ahead of you, as women’s lingerie is often sold out of smaller businesses (shops and boutiques) that may not be well-known in your community. If you need help, search for some listings online to see if you can locate a store near where you live, work or shop.

It’s fun to go lingerie shopping — but many lingerie shops are hard-to-find. If you would like to locate some women’s lingerie shops in your state, why not visit the Womens-lingerieshop.com, where you can quickly and easily locate businesses selling women’s lingerie near you. You’ll be glad you did!

Well-thought out gifts are always a great way to show your affection and love for your boyfriend. Some men may not be as open emotionally as women, but your boyfriend surely could not resist giving you a kiss or a hug in exchange of all the time and effort that you put into finding the perfect birthday present for him.

Here are some great and romantic gift ideas to give the most special man in your life on his birthday:

1. Something romantic.

A birthday present does not always have to be something expensive. Be creative in thinking of a romantic birthday gift for your boyfriend. If he has always given you flowers before, why don’t you return the favor by giving him a dozen red roses? It will make him remember you as the only girl who ever gave him roses for his birthday.

A little effort would go a long way, too. Cook him his favorite dish and invite him over for a romantic picnic or dinner. Bake him a birthday cake, invite his friends over and surprise him with a birthday party.

Shower him with love notes, or make his entire day special by giving him a different gift in the morning, noon and at night. Be creative in thinking of something fun, romantic and special to give him a birthday that he is not likely to forget.

2. Something that he wants.

If your special someone is into gadgets, give him that game gadget or music player that he is always talking about. If he is a car enthusiast, get him a great car accessory. Or, rent a sports vehicle or his dream car for him to drive on his birthday. Go out and spend a day indulging in the sport that he just loves.

3. Something naughty.

Glow-in-the-dark boxer shorts are a sure-fire way to tickle his fancy. An intimate yet funny gift will remind him of the intimate moments that you shared together as a couple.

4. Something nice and traditional.

A gift basket with all the things that he likes on one delightful package also makes for a great birthday present for your boyfriend’s birthday. A basket full of chocolates or water is a wonderful birthday present.

If he is an executive, get him an expensive tie, cute cuff links or a nice wristwatch. Give him a set of his favorite cologne, perfume and aftershave. If he loves sailing, get him an antique compass that he can use.

5. Something that says “I love you.”

You can literally give him an item with the message of how you feel. Give him a keychain for his car and house keys with an engraved message. Even small items like this would make your boyfriend feel special.

Remember that it is not always the cost that counts when giving out presents for your boyfriend on his birthday.

A well-thought out gift that would remind your boyfriend of how special he is to you will send out the right message on his birthday.

A great way to show your taste for the lingerie look is through the use of bows and tassels. The ultra-popular low-rider jeans help with this and a there are a tons of thongs, panties and bustiers that are made to be shown. Lingerie now comes highlighted with crystals, sequins, fur and exquisite lace just begging to be shown off.

Thongs have been big for the past few years with more women discovering that thongs really are not just “uncomfortable butt floss” but give a really cool and liberating feeling. More women are wearing thongs for everyday activities and not just to look sexy for someone else.

Is anything sexier and more feminine than a corset? The demand for corsets is growing by leaps and bounds. With the camisole corset you don’t have to worry about the breathtaking fit of yesteryear – just the breathtaking look of you in all your womanly glory!

Of course, the best trend to come along recently is the tremendous growth in plus size lingerie quantity and quality. Not too long ago there were very few choices for big beautiful women for looking sexy and now there are whole stores dedicated to large size sexy costumes and garters and more. No longer does plus size mean minus sexy!

Shopping for lingerie and underwear wasn’t that different. You had to deal with a lot of limitations – in design, in size and so much more. But with the advent of online retail stores, shopping for your intimates is now like a breath of fresh air.

Buying lingerie online has its many advantages:

1. More variety – Online lingerie stores offer a wide selection of products, sizes, colors and designs that you won’t find in physical stores most of the time. Many plus size women find it convenient to shop online for lingerie in bigger sizes since they couldn’t find those in their sizes in a regular store. Some of the sexy lingerie that you’ll want to wear on a special night can only be bought in an online store. Most online lingerie stores are targeted to a specific market, which means you won’t have to jump from one shopping mall to another just to find exactly what you are looking for.

2. More privacy – It’s not only the women who buy lingerie. Men do, too. Shopping for lingerie as a gift for their girlfriends can be daunting – and even embarrassing for them when they have to enter a lingerie store in the mall. Buying lingerie online gives them the privacy they need as these guys shop for something they would want to see their girlfriends or wives wear.

But it’s not just the men who benefit from the privacy an online lingerie store offers. Women who wouldn’t want her shopping experience to be such a spectacle would want to buy their lingerie over the Internet.

3. At your convenience – Let’s face it, most of the time we don’t have the convenience of time to shop to our heart’s content. And sometimes the distance from the house to the department store could take much of your time. With an online lingerie store, shopping time is cut dramatically. No more walking or driving; just a few clicks and you’ve already shopped for your lingerie.

4. More savings – Not having to travel to a physical store cuts costs on energy and gas consumption. What’s more online lingerie stores allow you to compare the prices and features of the items. Plus many online lingerie stores offer deals that are exclusive to Internet shoppers only. You can use these electronic coupons so you can get perks and discounts when you shop for your lingerie.

When you feel limited with the selections in a regular store, or if you don’t have the luxury of time to go to the mall, try shopping over the Internet. You’ll be surprised that they carry a variety of designs and sizes that many physical stores don’t offer, and you’ll experience shopping convenience unlike any other. Online lingerie stores give you an easier and better way to shop in the comforts of your own home.
