...three essential topics which would better one’s marriage, and by extension better one’s family. A good marriage, would ultimately lead to a good family. The first topic is topic is companionship. Companionship is very part of marriage. In fact, it was the first thing God noticed Adam needed in Eden, (when you look at it from a biblical perspective) He saw Adam was lonely. We all need companions because no man is an island. To bring each spouse together to the closeness that marriages should have, companionship is vital. Friendship helps foster one flesh. When two become married they become one flesh, and this is achieved also through friendship. Your spouse as your companion is a friend you have for life. Your best friend you can share all your secrets with, and go through all your crises with. Whenever thinking of marriage, or thinking of telling someone of marriage, or even those who are in a marriage now, remember companionship is vital towards a marriage, so be a friend, give a listening ear to one’s spouse. The second topic is demonstration of love. Marriage is a demonstration of your love to your spouse. The love must be present between both parties in other to have nothing but a successful marriage from the words ‘I do.’ There must be a centrality of love between the two spouses. When this love is between the both, it becomes hard to do something that would hurt the other. Love makes it easy to get to know your spouse’s likes or dislikes. Once there is love between the...

...perception on the topic of what love is. Each of our perspectives on this topic is valid in a way because there is no true meaning on what love is. The symbols of love all represent it differently for example the “rose” represents intimacy and passion, Diamonds are worn to symbolize eternal love, and etc. These are just two of the many symbols and what types of love they each symbolize. There are different types of love according to the article “What is love?” the psychotherapist: ‘Love has many guises’, “the ancients did not lump all the various emotions that we label ‘Love’ under one word. They had several variations”. There are many meanings to love and the symbols behind each and everyone...

...Nicole L. De Guzman March 8, 2016 Tredfor EQ Ms. Tessie Ponteras The Theology of the Body seminar made me realize a lot of things about love, sex and marriage. Growing up in a conservative family sex was never an open topic, erotic topics and sexual jokes should be kept to oneself or in private. Sex often times is an uncomfortable topic but in our Catholic dominated culture it's considered as a taboo topic. People refuse to acknowledge it in fear of the disastrous and bad things that are correlated to sex due to its sensitivity, they consider it as sacred and holy. Time and sin had disrupted the importance of sex even in the lives of Christians. That should not be the case because our bodies are created by God in his image and we should not be ashamed of it. In the first part of the seminar the speaker asked a few volunteers to go up the stage, they shyly talked about their private parts and what they used to call it in front of a large audience. It was seen that the volunteers were embarrassed and uncomfortable and at the same time that the audience saw the topic as something green and were laughing about it. Fr. Maxwell then said that “ (erotic love) is not to be confused with Lust”. Eros One may come before or after another but they must not be mistaken as the same. Sin has disordered, disoriented ...

...Student’s Name: Course: Tutor: Date Love, commitment and pure relationship In 1980, Sharon Thompson conducted an investigation about the attitudes values and sexual behavior of American teenagers. She discovered major differences between the way boys and girls discussed this topic. She found that the boys were not in a position to talk much about sex. The boys only talked about sex in a briefed manner that appears it only occurs at different intervals in time. What she discovered on girls was contrary to the boys. The girls seemed to understand this topic very well that they discussed lengthy on the topic with very little contribution from the interviewer. Sharon concluded that girls are more addicted to love and romance than boys. Thompson concluded that romance gears sexuality in a way that sexual activities are seen as a way an ultimate relationship. However, this affects mostly the girls because girls breaking their virginity is considered as a loss while boy’s first sexual experience is considered as again. Boys tend to force sexual activities while girls prefer to take it slow. Virginity in girls is seen as something given up. Thompsons concluded that sexual diversity exist along the persistence of romance thoughts although it is not easy at times. This was discovered from the lesbians interview where they found it irresistible than the heterosexuals. Thompson discovered that girls she spoke to did not have to fight to attain sexual freedom. These...

...Abriol, Nathaniel Siegfrid T. V25 Love, responsibility and sexuality are the best combination to this topic. Because it talks about the perfect setup of being a human being. This leads to be a presumptuous and yet patient personality… Love is a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection to pleasure while responsibility is the state of being the person who caused something to happen, an obligation, duty or task that you are required or expected to do. And sexuality is the properties that distinguish organisms on the basis of their reproductive roles. Love is the amazing feeling that you can ever feel it because it composes 55% is through body language, 38% is the tone and speed of their voice and only 7% is through what they say. According to Helen Fisher of Rutgers University in the States has proposed 3 stages of love – lust, attraction and attachment. Each stage might be driven by different hormones and chemicals. In stage 1: Lust. This is the first stage of love and is driven by the sex hormones testosterone and oestrogen in both men and women. Stage 2: Attraction which consist dopamine, serotonin and adrenaline. And lastly stage 3: Attachment. Attachment is the connection or bond between the two human beings which are core related to each other. Responsibility is the second part to this topic. This involves on how love will handle the responsibilities or tasks. This includes if you’ve agreed to do something, just do it...

...ENG 1102. March 16, 2014 Differences and Contrast Between Waller and Parker’s Work Love and passion are some of the subjects that have been beyond our comprehension since the first couple fell in love a thousand years ago. Many people have been written about those topics giving us different kinds of view. Some of them through songs, others through music and many of them by poetry. Such as the case of Dorothy Parker and Edmund Waller that were two of the most recognized poets in the last 10 centuries. Both of them dedicated their life to write poems that people still analyze these days because of the brilliance of their meaningful writing. On one hand, one of the most remarkable works of Parker was the poem called “One Perfect Rose.” Such poem is an example of the situation when someone receive a give that is socially nice, yet it was actually the gift that person desire. On other hand, Waller is known by everyone for this poem called “One Perfect Rose.” Through that poem Waller described a man who is in love with a woman, but she does to even know the existence of that guy.

...Reflection Paper The three topics that I would like to write about is Did Jesus claim to be God? , If a person is a Christian, does it matter how they live their life? and What can your local church do to better communicate God’s love to your community. I feel that these three topics are very important to me because since Jesus did claim to be God, why did he claim it because since God is the almighty, there must be something special about him because no one would really claim it unless they can prove it. Jesus did claim to be God and he did it in ways that really amazed people including myself when I was first reading the bible and knowing more about it. The other topic I am writing about is if a person is a Christian, does it matter how they live their life. It feels real interesting because if you do believe in God, you must follow all he said like in the Ten Commandments which he laid out. It’s a true test to see if you are a Christian and are you willing to do anything if the Lord told you so, it really tests a person’s faith. The final topic I am writing about is what can your local church do to better communicate God’s love to your community. It is also very interesting because in every area there is a local church and they would love for everyone to believe in God and follow him because he did die for our sins. So it’s very good to spread the word out to your community and show that he is God and how he loves each and every one of else...

...to write. I could not think of a good enough topics to expand and write about to my peer editor. I know how much I loved the scent of homemade cookies, thanksgiving dinners, certain perfumes and more but I did not know what to write about. The topic I chose to write about came from one of my roommates while she was reading a magazine and thought of me. It was something that sparked my interest immediately. I love reading about little things that grab my attention and this one I found to be interesting and my partner would enjoy as well. Writer Bethany Heitman from the magazine Cosmopolitan states, ‘…fascinating news: Researchers have discovered that the smell of cucumber-that’s right, cucumbers- makes women aroused’ (p. 193). Who would have thought that this fresh smelling fruit with their hint of a mild sweetness and bitterness would make your female partner so aroused? Automatically I was hooked on why cucumbers and other foods increased pleasure during sexual encounters....

...geared towards the topic of homosexuality –a topic which has taken centre stage in several works that have been done before (Love 31). A legible contrast exists between these writings and “Feeling Backward” because the latter seeks to weigh the cost of the contemporaneous move of same-sex relationships and marriages to the mainstream of our lives. The article’s recognizes the significant meaning the past has in line with the concept of homosexuality and lesbianism. Discussions on this topic have been present since medieval times with the critics of the topic choosing to focus on a more future oriented approach. They do so in little regard to past in effect not clearly deciphering how important this past is. The critics tend to focus more on an “affective history” rather than an “effective history” with an associated shift of focus from desiring to understand if there were gay people in the past to focusing on whether it is important to know whether there were gay people in the past (Love 31). The approach by these writers and debaters tend to concur that yes the idea of same sex love is not new and it has existed in the past. They also acknowledge that the gay people have a past that they constantly are haunted by. The difference is that they offer this concept a biased view by suggesting that the past was characterized by love, friendship, desire and community which does not take into account the bad times, wounds and the low moments that were inevitably present (Love 32). This is...

...Topic and Reasoning Cynthia Belen Com/172 January 25, 2011 Michael Cunningham Topic and Reasoning Topic: The power of a mothers love. Reasoning: We all know that all mothers are needed and important in a child’s life. I believe that a mother’s love is very powerful in a child’s life. A mother’s love for her children is one of the strongest forces in this world. Who said being a mother would be easy? When I became a mother, there were a lot of things I did not know, but as my daughter grew so did i. My idea is to tell my story of a single mom, who struggle and made some poor choices in my life and also how I overcame it all. I want my readers to know and understand the power of a mother’s love, and how it can have an effect on a child’s life. The story I would be telling is from experience, not something I heard but something I have experience myself. My mother was never there for me the way I needed her to be. I did not feel my mother’s love. My mother was an addict; she was always in the streets, leaving me and my sister and brother to fend for ourselves. Don’t get me wrong I love my mother. I just did not like the things she was doing and how she was doing things. I told myself I was not going to be like my mom, and it seem like all the things I hated in my mother I began doing with my daughter. My aunt took her from me when she was two years old. She is now five and I just recently started getting myself together and right so I can get her back. When I lost her...

...Making Love Without Love In “Sex Without Love,” Sharon Olds takes a direct approach of asking a question many people may have considered: How do they do it, the ones who make love without love? Such topic has always attracted people’s attention, because of their conflicting views of sexuality. Are people’s sexual intentions to love that person, or simply for occurrence of “good times” or seeking pleasure? However though, Sharon Olds doesn’t give us the simple answer that you may be looking for, but rather she questions it, in the beginning, and then draws us out a beautiful, rich image of this sexual moment between lovers and “nonlovers”, per say. In the beginning of this poem, Old’s, as mentioned befeore, is describing the “lovers” as “Beautiful...

...metaphors of beauty and devotion. In short, the language of love is the language of exaggeration. William Shakespeare ‘s most powerful description of love is when he satirizes this method of writing and in so doing instead claims that honesty and sincerity are the greatest literary devices when speaking the language of love. Shakespeare's sonnet number 130 demonstrates this. This sonnet hooks the reader from the very outset while maintaining sonnet structure and using literary devices as a source of irony. Shocking the reader by using an unconventional method of satire to introduce a topic is the most effective way to hook an audience. Shakespeare begins his sonnet with the line; "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun -" (line 1). The reader immediately becomes curious to the poet’s reasoning for speaking in this tone. The first quatrain of this poem introduces the topic of beauty.The second quatrain enhances the topic and adds sentiment. In the first quatrain he describes the looks of his mistress, while in the second quatrain he relates how these looks affect him. The third quatrain releases this sentiment, the narrator concludes that he is aware of the ordinary nature of his mistress. The sonnet also satirizes literary devices such as metaphors and similes to enhance its theme. Conventionally,metaphors and similes are used in love poems as a tool to express praise. The speaker in sonnet 130 proves his love by telling his beloved that none of these metaphors or similes...
