Book Synopsis Courtship, Love, and Marriage in Nineteenth-Century English Canada by : Peter Ward
Download or read book Courtship, Love, and Marriage in Nineteenth-Century English Canada written by Peter Ward and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1990-03-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Courtship, love, and marriage are seen today as very private affairs, and historians have generally concluded that after the late eighteenth century young people began to enjoy great autonomy in courtship and decisions about marriage. Peter Ward disagrees with this conclusion and argues that freedom in nineteenth-century English Canada was constrained by an intricate social, institutional, and familial framework which greatly influenced the behaviour of young couples both before and after marriage.

Issues covered in this book include the following: *MONEY MANAGEMENT IN THE HOME: Your goals in money management should include Giving unto the Lord, Avoiding financial bondage through debt, Providing for the needs of the family and Save for emergency. Read books and other materials on finance regularly. Say no to pressure from family and friends. Pray about all financial issues, companies that you invested in and commit your monthly plans to God. *EXTENTED FAMILY AND VISITATION: Extended family and in-laws are close relations from both angles. Love, care and understanding should be your guiding principles in relating with in-laws and extended family. Religious programmes supersede all extended family programmes. All close ties to extended family or in-laws before marriage should be broken-off after marriage. You should endeavor not to tell in-laws about your family. Rather you should take all family needs to God in prayer first or consult spirit filled leaders. In-laws should be visited in times of needs and whenever you dim necessary they should be visited. *CRISIS MANAGEMENT IN THE HOME: Conflict is a reality of life. One of the causes of crisis in the home is allowing pressure from friends and relatives to increase demand on spouse. Why you should resolve crisis among you should be based on Love for each other, Stability of home and ministry and Good example to our children. * CHILD REARING AND TRAINING: The minimum of two years child spacing is encouraged by family planning experts. You need to agree on the type of family planning method e.g. calendar method, use of condom at times. Guide them on how to choose friends and to avoid corrupting relationship. We will nurture our children to spiritual and physical maturity. Inculcate personal study skills in our children and encourage them to study for at least 2 hours at home. Taking away privilege that the child cherish and Proximity time-out (involving isolating the child emotionally without physical distance) are effective methods of training your children. . *SEX AND PREPARING FOR HONEYMOON THROUGHOUT YOUR MARRIAGE: Sex questions that you need to answer while in courtship are -How frequent should you have sex? What are other ways to promote excitement in your marriage apart from sex? Sex like any other human activity, can be planned and learnt. Make time for each other at least once a week: not family, no friends, and no business. It is also a way to sparkle one's sex life. Marriage is created for the following reasons, companionship completeness and communication. *SENSUAL LOVING ? THE GATEWAY TO LASTING RELATIONSHIP: According to some sex experts, the best sex is married sex, as long as it contains the ingredient that many happy husbands and wives secretly share sensuality. The stress reducing effects of sensual touch can set the stage for fulfilling love-making. If sex is the fire in marriage, I can conclude that sensuality is the spark that keeps it burning. *WONDERFUL HEALTH BENEFITS OF MARRIED SEX: Some people argued that sex can reduce the lifespan of a man. Sex Boosts Immunity: Good sexual health may be equated to better physical health. Sex Relieves Stress: One major benefit of sex is lower blood pressure and overall stress reduction as opined by Scottish researchers in the journal Biological psychology.. Other benefits of sex were stated in this book.

Book Synopsis The Important Things of Life by : Dee Garceau
Download or read book The Important Things of Life written by Dee Garceau and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2022-01-07 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sweetwater County lies in southwestern Wyoming, and has stood as a significant symbolic geography for the "new Western Woman’s" history. As the county in which Elinore Pruitt Stewart (Letters of a Woman Homesteader, Nebraska 1990) said she proved up her homestead in 1913, it is a fitting locale for the study of western gender relations. The Important Things of Life examines women’s work and family lives in Sweetwater County in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The 1880’s discovery of coal caused a population boom, attracting immigrants from numerous ethnic groups. At the same time, liberalized homestead law drew sheep and cattle ranchers. Dee Garceau demonstrates how survival on the ranching and mining frontier heightened the value of group cooperation in ways that bred conservative attitudes toward gender. Augmented by reminiscences and oral histories, Garceau traces the adaptations that broadened women’s work roles and increased their domestic authority. Hers is a compelling portrait of the American West as a laboratory of gender role change, in which migration, relocation, and new settlement underscored the development of new social identities.

FRACTURED SPIRITS During the first half of the twentieth century, the Peoria State Hospital was the premiere mental health facility of its day. Dr. George Zeller instituted the eight-hour workday for his staff, removed patient restraints, and made the asylum into a model for the care of the mentally ill. Today, there are only a few buildings of the hospital left. Some of them are still in use, others are inhabited only by ghosts. Our guide to these ghosts -- and the history they represent -- is Sylvia Shults. In Fractured Spirits: Hauntings at the Peoria State Hospital, she brings a passion for paranormal investigation to her adventures at this haunted hotspot. The spirits come to life once more as Shults explores their former home. Other voices help her tell the story: this is a collection of people's experiences at the Peoria State Hospital. Ghost hunting groups, sensitives, former nurses, and ordinary people share their stories with us, their voices resonating to create a panoramic view to rival the vista of the Illinois River. To visit the remaining buildings of the Peoria State Hospital today is to visit a small piece of history. A ghost story over a hundred years in the making, Fractured Spirits is narrative nonfiction at its finest.

Download or read book "I Do!" written by Cathy Luchetti and published by Three Rivers Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Westward Expansion Was A Time Of radical change in America. The upheaval of moving west and beginning a new life from scratch was difficult for those who made the trip. "Except for love..." said Isabella Bird of Colorado in 1873, "this is a wretched existence." In spite of the rough conditions and frequent shortages of suitable partners in the West, the pioneers met, fell in love and married, but were forced to adapt their courting to a frontier life. The civilized comforts and proprieties of the East yielded to many new ways of finding a mate, from personal ads to rental brides. The West was not all wild, however: Religion still played a strong role in western life, whether lovers were Mormon, Catholic, Baptist or Buddhist; and the traditions of immigrants from Europe, Asia and the Americas all helped to form courtship and marriage rituals on the frontier. Through period photographs, extracts from journals and letters and reminiscences, Cathy Luchetti's subjects tell the true story of romantic life on the American frontier, reminding us of what it was like to fall in love then -- and now. "I sat there in the dark waiting. I had waited only a few minutes. when I heard the longed-for footsteps come to my gate. I went to meet him and would have thrown my arms around him, dust covered and dirty as he was, but he would not allow it. He caught me by the arms, and with he on one side of the low fence and I on the other, he delivered a tirade of accusations and abuse.... "Then he put his hand on my face, pressing gently, and said, 'Now, old lady, if you're going to marry me you've got to say so right now, and we'll get married and camp under a tree, for I haven't a damn cent.What d'ya say?' "I had been waiting all this time for the tirade to be over so I could say yes. Now I said it. "'Good God, old lady! Do you mean it?' And it didn't take him long to jump that low fence. He didn't even stop to open the gate. Then our arms went around each other in one long embrace." -- Sarah Olds "And so I told her girl, that I would come the next Thursday, and bring a horse, bridle, and saddle for her, and she must be ready to go. Her mother declared I shouldn't have her; but I know'd I should, if somebody else didn't get her before Thursday." -- David Crockett

Book Synopsis The Mystery of Marriage 20th Anniversary Edition by : Mike Mason
Download or read book The Mystery of Marriage 20th Anniversary Edition written by Mike Mason and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2005-06-02 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meditate on the Spiritual Significance of Marriage In the 20th Anniversary Edition of this Gold Medallion Award winner, Mike Mason goes on a poetic search to understand the wondrous dynamics of committed love. In highly readable, first-person style, Mason’s writing stimulates readers’ thoughts and prayers and propels couples to deeper intimacy. “A marriage is not a joining of two worlds,” says the author, “but an abandoning of two worlds in order that one new one might be formed.” Rich chapters on “Otherness,” “Vows,” “Intimacy,” “Sex,” “Submission,” and an all-new chapter on “Oneness” lift readers to view the eternal, spiritual nature of this faith-filled, “impossible,” wild—yet wonderful—frontier. “An outstanding achievement. Rarely has a book aroused in me so much enthusiasm as has the combination of wisdom, depth, dignity, and glow that I find in these chapters.” -J.I. Packer “Absolutely exquisite. It reaches down deep into our innermost being, revealing, revitalizing, rewarding. A real classic.” -Gigi Graham Tchividjian “A drop everything book. Mason deals with the stunning paradoxes of the mystery, the problems, and the glories of marriage. I don’t need to read any other book on the subject.” -Elisabeth Elliot Story Behind the Book "Over the twenty years since its publication, many couples have told me that they’ve read my book aloud to each other. This always amazes me and gives me great joy. I’m also amazed that many single people have read it. Either way, my goal is for hearts to be warmed by the mystery of divine love. I want couples to enter into deeper intimacy by thinking together about the mystery of marriage—about how their love, besides being a gift of God, reflects the very love He has for Himself in the Trinity. For God is not a bachelor, and throughout the Bible marriage is a supreme picture of the nature of God’s love and of His kingdom. I want people who read my book to feel so soaked in these wonderful, divine mysteries that it deepens their reverence for marriage and inspires them to greater love." -Mike Mason
