Have you ever actually said the above to your spouse?  If you have, were you embarrassed afterward?  It’s a good thing if you were — and something to work on if you weren't. 

Think back to when you were dating your spouse, and first married.  Did you expect him or her to know what you were thinking every single second of every day?  Chances are, you didn't.  You were open, you were honest, and you communicated your feelings.  You didn't expect this brand-new person in your life to know what you were thinking or what you wanted at every moment.

If you've been married for a few years, maybe that's changed.  Maybe you now expect that your spouse is going to know what you want without you having to ask, or to know what's wrong without you having to say so.  But that's a mistake.  It can mean trouble for a marriage and can even severely damage it, in some cases irreparably.  It doesn't have to be that way, though.

Being on the same wavelength is a good thing, but…

To be clear, it’s a good thing for you and your spouse to know each other so well that you do know what the other wants, likes and needs a lot of the time.  If you and your spouse are closely connected and are on the same wavelength most of the time, you will know these things on a regular basis, and that's usually a sign of a healthy marriage. 

When an advantage becomes a burden

The problem comes when you or your spouse take this connectedness for granted, such that you expect your spouse will always know what you want, need, or like.  Suddenly, "being on the same wavelength" turns from an advantage to a burden.  This connection becomes something you "have to do," instead of an advantage that you share.  Resentment builds, communication falters or even stops, and trouble ensues.

To keep that from happening, remember that this is a gift you've been given.  It's an advantage a lot of people don't have, and if you've got it, you're lucky.  Another thing to remember is that even the most connected of couples aren't going to know what each spouse is thinking all of the time.  Don't assume that your spouse is always going to know what you want or need.  (The same holds true of your spouse, by the way, in that you shouldn't be expected to know what he or she needs all the time, either.)

Keep the advantage by honoring it, not taking it for granted

Keep the advantage of your close connection intact by honoring it, not taking it for granted.  Stop yourself if you begin to think something along the lines of, "If you don't know, I'm not going to tell you!"  (And for heaven’s sake, don't say it out loud.)

Instead, stop and remember that if your spouse is asking you about something that's bothering you or about something you want, it's because he or she cares.  That thoughtfulness is special and unique, and is what you should concentrate on.

Halloween is around the corner and the questions you have are: What will I use as a theme for the decorations and the costumes?

The Jack-0-Lanterns and other Halloween decorations such as the ghosts hanging from the ceiling, chains to attach to the walls and hanging from the light fittings, balloons with funny drawings on it, bats suspended from the ceiling or attached to a rafter to indicate them hanging down, sticky cobwebs and body parts are all readily available from many online and offline stores and outlets.  If you are a couple and are planning a Halloween couples costume, then consider whether you want to carry this theme into your decorations.  

Some of the decorations such as a real pumpkin with the candle on the inside could be carved by you and your family and you could have different sizes for the smaller or bigger areas in your home alternatively you could purchase the ceramic lamps that are in the shape of the pumpkins.   

In the old days and even today many people would opt for wearing scary costumes at Halloween and they are still really popular. However, perhaps you want to look at the funnier side of life, particularly when looking for a Halloween costume for couples.  Couples are sharing new ideas for costumes when they go to a Halloween party, and to go as a couple only adds more fun to the party.  

There are so many different ideas to play around with and the most popular is the bride and groom couple.  The doctor and nurse, Bonnie and Clyde gangster costumes, Siamese Twins (the clothes is attached with Velcro to give the appearance of the twins), the pregnant nun and priest, Indiana Jones and his girl, Mom and the Milkman, the Tooth fairy and the boy in pyjamas.  This is only a small selection of characters you can play and to make it more interesting, you could reverse your roles; she goes as a man and he dresses as the woman. This may truly be a Halloween party to remember!

Tips to Overcome Fear in Delivering an Address

From time to time a change, in one or more comic book hero's powers, occurs. There can be a multitude of reasons behind this. Has the comic book hero become stagnant? Has the readership declined over the past several months? Did a metamorphosis happen while fighting? Did a depletion of their power make room for the change? And, of course, the ever popular experimentation. A mad scientist creates an experiment, an ordinary individual gets in the way, and his or her DNA is altered. He or she is then morphed into a super hero or a criminal based upon their disposition. Another version to that is a comic book super hero or villain get in the way of an unsolicited experiment that went awry.

Their molecular structure is mutated, which begs some questions. Does an ordinary citizen received powers? Do the super heroes or villain's powers stay the same? Do they exhibit the same powers, only augmented? Do their powers change until it is unrecognizable from the original? Is the change a temporary one, or is it a long-term modification? Will their powers ever go back to normal? These issues are explored and examined, sometimes in minute detail.

The details that go into explaining the ever-changing powers of comic book heroes are appealing. In the framework of comic books, where fantasy merges with the imagination, the predicaments in which precipitates the change of the powers suggests that the storyline was born, bred and raised for sometime.

Superman's powers changed him into two separated beings. One being was red and the other being blue. Each one was a separate hero who displayed different characteristics. They eventually combined and recreated the Superman we are familiar with and love. The account took one year. The semantics behind the change suggested superman needed revamping.
The mighty Thor has seen his share of transformations. He possessed the Odin power for a while. Thor has his share of problems, and will continue to so because the readership can relate to his problems or vices. With Superman's changes, the reader is confronted with Superman's problems and can debate the best way to handle them.

Many more comic book heroes have had their power altered in some way. It seems to be a staple in the comic book world. Amending a super hero is necessary in that type of environment. Introducing nemesis's and other comic book heroes perpetuates the genre. Moreover, if there were no further introduction of contrasting characters, the storylines would fizzle up and new ideas could not germinate. It is therefore sometimes essential to introduce old comic book characters with a twist. They can come back from the dead, or believed to be dead, and emerge to take on a criminal. It has to make some semblance to the discerning comic book reader. If the hero returns under circumstances that would seem suspect, the public response would be swift and ruthless. People expect some sense in the comic book world.

The ever-changing power of comic book heroes advocates a winning attitude for the comic book reader and the people who create them. When the two parties are in unison both sides win and the reader is left with a palpable appetite for more.
