Cherish --- Valentines' Post for the Married Couples :)

(1of5) Valentines' Day Prayer for the Married Couples :)


Dear Lord,


I thank you for the wife/husband that you have entrusted to me.

Enable me to love, respect and cherish this special person,

second only to You in my heart and in my life.


Amen.

Cherish is the word I use to describe

All the feeling that I have
Hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could
Cherish me as much as I cherish you

Perish is the word that more than applies
To the hope in my heart each time I realize
That I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams
That I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes
That I am not gonna be the one to share what
Seems to be the life that you could
Cherish as much as I do yours

Oh I'm beginning to think that man has never found
The words that could make you want me
That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound
That could make you hear, make you see
That you are drivin' me out of my mind

Oh I could say I need you but then you'd realize
That I want you just like a thousand other guys
Who'd say they loved you
With all the rest of their lies

When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands
And gaze into your eyes

Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have
Hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could
Cherish me as much as I cherish you

And I do
Cherish you
And I do
Cherish you


Cherish is the word




(3of5) That's How You Know

(Amy Adams - Giselle)

How does she know you love her?

How does she know she's yours?

(Marlon Saunders - Calypso Singer)

How does she know that you love her?

(Giselle)

How do you show her you love her?


(Together)

How does she know that you really really truly love her?

How does she know that you love her?

How do you show that you love her?

How does she know that you really really truly love her?


(Giselle)

It's not enough to take the one you love granted

You must remind her or she'll be inclined to say

"How do I know he loves me?

How do I know he's mine?"


Well does he leave a little note to tell you you are on his mind?

Send you yellow flowers when the sky is grey?

He'll find a new way to show you a little bit every day

That's how you know

That's how you know he's your love


(Calypso Singer)

You got to show her you need her

Don't treat her like a mind reader

Each little something to lead her to believe you love her


(Giselle)

Everybody wants to live happily ever after

Everybody wants to know their true love is true

How do you know he loves you?

How do you know he's yours?


Well does he take you out dancing just so he can hold you close?

Dedicate a song with words meant just for you?

He'll find his own way to tell you with the little things he'll do

That's how you know

That's how you know he's your love

He's your love

That's how you he loves you

That's how you know it's true


Because he'll wear your favorite color just so he can match your eyes

Plan a private picnic by the fire's glow

His heart will be yours forever

Something everyday will show

That's how you know (x5)

That's how you know he's your love

That's how you know

That's how you know he's your love




(4of5) Why is the wedding ring placed on the fourth finger?

Why is the wedding ring placed on the fourth finger?

A beautiful explanation is given by the Chinese.

The thumb represents your parents.

The second (index) finger represents your siblings.

The middle finger represents yourself.

The fourth (ring) finger represents your life partner.

The last (little) finger represents your children.

Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back. Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip (as shown in the pic above).

Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents)...They will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later.

Please join your thumbs as before and separate your index fingers (representing siblings)...They will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.

Now join the index fingers and separate your little fingers (representing your children)...They will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.

Finally, join your little fingers, and try to separate your ring fingers (representing your spouse). You will be surprised to see that you just *cannot*.....because husband & wife have to remain together all their lives - through thick and thin!




(5of5) Love's Power

Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.

Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot wash it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of his house for love,
it would be utterly scorned.

(Song of Solomon 8:6-7)



Wishing everyone (married or not) a very happy Valentines'! :D
