Read MoreYou don’t have to follow the world! If you have found someone and are sure of it, then why should you say that you are not ready, not rich enough, not old enough.

A lack of meaningful personal communication is not good for any couple aiming for oneness!

From the dress to the first dance and everything in between - it has to be perfect.
Read MoreThis woman, although physically weaker than you is mighty in power. Her spiritual strength and capacity to intercede for you is enough to put armies to flight. Everything in her that cares, that protects and supports has been magnified. If you are graceful to her, she will be A true helper.
