Top Ten Medicine Use Tips for Parents

Top Ten Medicine Use Tips for Parents 1. When in doubt, ask first. Your child’s health is too important for guesswork. So any time you have a question about which OTC medicine is best for your child or how and when to give the medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist first. This is true for prescriptions medicines, too. 2. Know your child’s weight so you can give the proper dose of the medicine as recommended on the product label. Most pediatricians and pharmacists agree that a child’s weight is the best way to determine the correct dose. For this reason, health professionals often recommend that parents keep an accurate scale in the house so they can check the child’s weight before giving OTC medicines. 3. Know your child’s weight so you can give the proper dose of the medicine as recommended...

HOW TO MAKE YOUR HUSBAND HAPPY

HOW TO MAKE YOUR HUSBAND HAPPY It doesn’t take much time or effort to see that our culture is pessimistic about marriage. A happy marriage seems more like a fairy tale that Pollyanna dreamed up fifty years ago. Many of today’s wives are complaining left and right about their husbands’ many shortcomings. So why should a wife make her husband happy when he’s not making her happy? I like what host Bob Lepine of Family Life Today says, “Our role is not to figure out how to fix our spouse.  Our role is: How do we reflect Christ in the marriage?” The game changes when we as wives make it our aim to bring joy to the marriage for the...

How to Maintain a Healthy Marriage (in good times and bad)

Everybody wants to know the secrets to a healthy intimate relationship.  I was lucky enough to grow up watching how to operate in one my whole life.  My parents’ relationship has been a source of inspiration and motivation to work towards the same healthy, loving relationship in my own life.  That’s not to say that their relationship is perfect (nor that mine is) because no relationship is perfect.  My dad gave an amazing speech at my wedding that speaks to what he believes makes a marriage work.  (I will end this post with his entire speech.) So, how can you tell if your marriage is going to be one of the ones that will make it?  As reported in Blink by Malcolm Gladwell, Dr. John Gottman conducted years of research on this very topic.  He reported...

Importance of Love in a Marriage

Importance of Love in a Marriage Marriage is one of the oldest institutions. When two people want to tie the knot, it is usually because they love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together - "till death do us part." But some, however, cynics as they may be called, do not believe that love will always keep a marriage going forever and there should be other factors to consider, like money. Others see marriage as a contractual agreement between two families and love between the two people was seldom considered. Thus one has to decide whether love indeed 'makes the world go round' and is 'a many splendoured thing' that binds the marriage partners or are there other things to consider? Marriages in the past have been known to succeed without love. During our grandparents'...

HOW TO RESCUE YOUR MARRIAGE

HOW TO RESCUE YOUR MARRIAGE The key to maintaining a happy marriage is simply this - never let a day go by that you don't let your beloved know how much you appreciate them and care for them. Often when we are in a relationship for any length of time, we tend to take for granted our significant other and forget what it was that attracted us to them in the first place. This can be a very dangerous situation, especially when you become distracted by other temptations and illusions that are out there to woo you astray. The phrase "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" may suggest a better life beyond your own, but remember, you still have to mow the lawn and weed the garden to keep it looking lovely & fresh once you get there. So, what are some things...
