The marriage arrangement is in place. The wedding cards are ready for distribution. Suddenly, the rumours get to you: your partner is an ex-convict. As if the rumour is not shocking enough, when you confront your partner, your worst fear is confirmed. Will you overlook the past and carry on with your marriage plans?

Peter and Jane have been married for more than two decades. Although they are still very fond of each other, a certain event that happened on the eve of their 10th anniversary almost tore the couple apart. Jane had gone to the bank where the couple had a joint account only to discover that her husband had drained the account. Angry at the betrayal, Jane pulled out of the joint business, more out of frustration than the flimsy excuses her beloved husband gave on how he paid some ghost workers.

A few months ago, I found a business card with a girl’s name and phone number in my man’s wallet. It was someone in his office and I suspected instantly what was going on. The next time he went away on his numerous business trips, I rang his usual hotel the day I knew he would leave for home. I lied that I was his secretary and I needed to know the name of the colleague he’d stayed with so that I could process their details for the trip. It was a shot in the dark and I was surprised when the receptionist fell for it. She gave me what I wanted and the silly girl had not even changed her name. I later phoned the girl in the office and she was so surprised she told me all that was going on. When my husband tried to bluff his way by denials, I told him his girl had confessed. He just shrugged. He now wants me to turn a blind eye on this affair. I can’t do that, but I can’t leave either. There are our three kids to consider and I want to keep the family together. I saw the other woman a few weeks ago. She’s 20 years younger than my husband - tall, slim and attractive. I don’t know what she sees in him. But despite it all, I still love my husband and I’m going to fight to keep him.

As the world is facing challenges of
infertility, scientists are looking into the
role of nutrition in improving fertility and
supporting healthy pregnancies. Most of
the time, people only think of fertility
treatment and imagine sophisticated
diagnostic testing, powerful medications,
and high-tech procedures, but hope is
here as science has found that choosing
certain foods and drinks can influence
your ability to become pregnant.
Many women don't start getting serious
about eating healthfully until after they
have become pregnant, there's increasing
evidence that diet matters long before
conception. According to experts,
unhealthy food intake, whether too much
or too little has been recognised as a
factor to infertility. Too little or too much
weight can make your reproductive cycle
irregular.

Foods that boost fertility
In a study, researchers from the Harvard
School of Public Health,discovered that
women who ate foods containing higher
amounts of trans fats, animal proteins and
carbohydrates, among other dietary
factors, were likely to have an ovulatory
disorder. Unfortunately, ovulation
problems cause infertility in about 20
percent of women seeking help in
becoming pregnant. The researchers
concluded that a majority of such cases
may be preventable by adjusting diet and
lifestyle.

Switch protein sources: Replace some of
the beef, pork or chicken you eat (animal
protein) with vegetable protein sources,
such as cooked dried beans and nuts.
When five percent of total calories eaten
come from vegetable protein instead of
animal, the risk of ovulatory infertility
drops by more than 50 percent. Add some
high-fat dairy: The more low-fat dairy products you eat, the greater your risk of
ovulatory infertility. Don't forget your
vitamins because women who regularly
take iron supplements and multivitamins
containing folic acid have less ovulation-
related infertility.

Also, consumption of whole grains, fruits,
vegetables, lean meats, beans and low-fat
dairy foods are beneficial. For Omega-3,
women are advised to consume salmon,
some egg brands for development of the
baby's brain and nervous system
development as it reduces risk of
premature birth You are also advised to
watch your herbal teas and supplements.
Stay fluid: When you don't drink enough
water, your cervical fluid that helps the
sperm find the target egg becomes
sluggish. Also cut caffeine because it
affects conception.

Love is amazing and it manifests itself in our lives in many great ways. These 5 cute stories will make your heart be happy and bring tears to your eyes. Story #1: Today, I walked up to the door of my office (I’m a florist) at 7AM to find a uniformed Army soldier standing out front waiting. He was on his way to the airport to go to Afghanistan for a year. He said, “I usually bring home a bouquet of flowers for my wife every Friday and I don’t want to let her down when I’m away.” He then placed an order for 52 Friday afternoon deliveries of flowers to his wife’s office and asked me to schedule one for each week until he returns. I gave him a 50% discount because it made my day to see something so sweet. Story #2: Today, when she woke up from an eleven month coma, she kissed me and said, “T hank you for being here, and telling me those beautiful stories, and never giving up on me… And yes, I will marry you.” Story #3: Today, my 8-year-old son hugged me and said, “You are the best mom in the whole entire world!” I smiled and sarcastically replied, “ How do you know that? You haven’t met every mom in the whole entire world.” My son squeezed me tighter and said, “Yes I have. You are my world.” Story #4: Today is our 10th anniversary, but since my husband and I are both recently unemployed we agreed not to get each other any gifts. When I woke up this morning, my husband was already up. I walked downstairs to find beautiful wild flowers brilliantly arranged all over the house. There must be 400 flowers total and he didn’t spend a dime. Story #5: Today, my dad passed away from natural causes at the age of 92. I found his body resting peacefully in the recliner in his bedroom. In his lap, facing upright, were three framed 8×10 photographs of my mom who passed away about 10 years ago. She was the love of his life, and apparently the last thing he wanted to see before he passed. These love stories are touching and brilliant. Get inspired to show your love to people around you in very special ways.
