#1. Having an affair with his "potential"

Wanting your man to be the best version of himself is admirable, but approaching his looks and personality with "Extreme Makeover" ambition will do little more than erode his self-esteem and leave you both frustrated and resentful. "If you and your partner believe that love means acceptance, pushing him to change and criticizing him is going to send him the opposite message. What he hears is 'you aren't good enough,'" says Nina Atwood, M.Ed., L.P.C., author of "Temptations of the Single Girl: The Ten Dating Traps You Must Avoid."

How to rebuild: This is where the old 80-20 rule can be used to the benefit of both of you. Spend at least 80 percent of your time together letting your partner know all the things you adore and appreciate about him, so that when you mention something you don't like, it doesn't feel like another item on a long list of failures.

More Glamour:

#2. Major mood swings

We're living in some pretty anxiety-inducing times, and when life takes a stressful turn, it's not uncommon for couples to start taking out that stress on each other. While the occasional mood swing can -- and should -- be forgiven, being in a relationship with someone whose bad moods outnumber her good ones can make a man run for cover. Wouldn't you do the same?

How to rebuild: The next time you catch yourself taking a downturn, take a moment to consider what kind of impact your moods are having on your man and the relationship. "If a woman is too moody, we start to walk on eggshells because we just don't want to deal with the drama," says Matt, 31, of San Diego.

#3. Gossip

Talking to pals about your love life is a normal part of friendship, but if you're calling your BFF, your sister, and your mom every time your man pisses you off, you're not only going to wind up embarrassed when the storm passes, you'll also find yourself in a relationship with someone who feels violated and judged. "As a couple, private information should stay private or you risk damaging your reputation as a couple, which in turn may isolate you from others and sever your relationship," says Dan Schawbel, personal branding expert and author of "Me: 2.0." Remember that word of mouth is a powerful force, and it can hurt your reputation if your mate or others brand you as untrustworthy."

How to rebuild: The next time you log on to his computer and find an improper download, resist the urge to get on the phone and vent to your top five. Instead, sit down and talk things out with the one person who can help you work through it. If you're not sure how to approach him about a certain topic, sit down and write him a letter. (Helpful hint: Sit on it for 24 hours to make sure it says what you really want to say and isn't just filled with angry words and blame.)

#4. Melodrama

If you're calling him in tears every time your coworker irritates you, deleting him from Facebook during every argument, and threatening to end the relationship over him leaving the toilet seat up (again!), he might start looking for a new leading lady. "Men have a tendency to really like low-maintenance girls when it comes to relationships," says Kristian, 35, of New York City. "We're pretty lazy in general, and it's exhausting when you need to work so hard to make someone happy and calm them down every day."

How to rebuild: Save the details of your office drama for brunch with the girls, and the next time you feel your inner Heidi Montag moving center stage, take a deep breath and rate the situation on a scale from 1 to 10. If it scores below a 5, let it go and save award-worthy performances for anything above a 9 (cheating, insulting your boss at your holiday party, etc.).

#5. "Mom-ing" him

Your man loves his mama and he loves you, but when you're the one telling him to stop playing Guitar Hero, scoffing at his lack of manners, or informing him he can't go out with his pals because he has a "big day tomorrow," it's anything but appealing. He'll not only resent that you're trying to control him, but he'll also likely do what all children do when they're being reprimanded -- rebel. "Scolding your mate creates an unhealthy dynamic of parent-child relationship, which automatically puts your partner into a child role and you into the role of mom," says Jeannine Estes, M.A, a marriage and family therapist and author of "Relationships in the Raw." "Children often do the opposite when they feel as if they don't have a choice, and this is similar for couples."

How to rebuild: "Instead of scolding or telling him what to do or not do, try to ask for your needs in a clear and respectful way and avoid using the 'mother' tone," says Estes. "Share with your partner the importance of your needs rather than demanding or scoffing at what he has or hasn't done right. Also, scolding him like you are his mother can put you in a parent role, carrying the relationship without any assistance or partnership."

#6. Too much together time

Spending time with your guy is one of the best parts of being in a relationship, but there's a big difference between bonding and being joined at the hip. "Many men are attracted to secure, independent women," says Stacey Rosenfeld, Ph.D, a New York City psychologist. "Once in relationships, women may tend to become more dependent, to demand more time and attention of their partners. This can represent a problem, as often men need more space than women."

How to rebuild: Remind your guy of the independent and fabulous woman he was initially attracted to by indulging in your favorite pastimes and enjoying your friends without him every once in a while. By flashing your independence, you'll not only give him a chance to miss you but also have interesting things to share with him when you meet up.

#7. Jealousy

He lets you know how much he loves you constantly, but that doesn't stop you from checking his phone when he's in the shower or sending every pretty girl he talks to eye-daggers. Although a tiny bit of jealousy in a relationship is normal, accusing your man of cheating and questioning his whereabouts every time he walks in will have him feeling controlled, manipulated, and insulted. "Jealousy in a relationship, or even personally, is the spiritual equivalent of dumping hydrochloric acid on the person," says 33-year-old Marc from Los Angeles. "Just sit back and prepare for the disintegration."

How to rebuild: Unless your man has said or done things to make you suspicious, your jealousy is more about your relationship with yourself than you two as a couple. Back away from his computer and check out your own history. Were you betrayed in the past? Did you grow up in a household where the fidelity vows were broken? There might be ways in which you are allowing unresolved issues from your past to dictate your present behavior. If you don't feel you can overcome the green monster on your own, don't be afraid to reach out to a qualified counselor who can help you identify the sources of your insecurity and work through them.

#8. Getting too comfortable

In the beginning of a relationship, both parties make sure to look and act their best, but as time moves on, the sweatpants come out and routine takes over. "People tend to get lazy in their relationships, and while it's good to be comfortable, no one wants to be boring or to be bored," says Lissa Coffey, author of "What's Your Dosha, Baby? Discover the Vedic Way for Compatibility in Life and Love."

How to rebuild: Men love to be seduced and romanced as much as we do, and part of what makes the courtship phase of relationships so fun is the experience of uncovering the mystery of another and trying new things together. "When a woman stops making an effort to look nice for her man and expects him to take care of all the stuff in the romance department, a man begins to feel taken for granted and thinks that she doesn't care about impressing him anymore," says Brian, 30, of New York City. Show your guy he's still worth the effort by surprising him with a break from the ratty T-shirt you wear to bed, a sweet note, or planning a special night out for him "just because." He'll not only appreciate it, he'll also reciprocate -- and that's a give and take to get excited about. matrimony

Vivahabandhan A wedding is a very special celebration full of mirth, happiness, good natured traditions and customs that has been followed since ages. Telugu marriage is no different, with celebrations laced with varied ceremonies and rituals commencing few days prior to the actual wedding day. Telugu people are simple and their customs, traditions and rituals are unique and enjoyable with equal emphasis on religious celebrations and fun filled customs for both bride and groom’s family.

In traditional Telugu matrimony, it’s the elder person of the family who tries to make a match between the prospective bride and groom within the caste and community. The maternal uncle or the brother of the bride has a very important role to play from the bride’s side during marriage. The main customs that highlight the Telugu wedding ceremony are Muhurtam, Pendlikoothru, Gauri Pooja, Kanyadaan, Manglasutra and Saptapadi. The Telugu wedding customs begins with Mangala Snaanam or Pendlikoothru where both the bride and groom have to take auspicious bath smeared with a paste of oil and turmeric carried out in their respective home. Both the families then perform aarti praying God to bless the bride and groom for a successful life ahead. Before the actual wedding a Gowri and Ganesh puja is held at the mandapam. One of the essential Hindu wedding rituals Kanyadaan follows with the girl’s family handing her hand to the groom for the rest of her life. The bride is brought to the mandap by her maternal uncle as she sits in a bamboo basket. Until the custom of Kanyadaan is performed, the bride and groom are refrained from seeing each other with a curtain as a partition. The bride’s parents then wash the groom’s feet considering him god’s ‘avatar’. As the priest chants slokas, the couple performs the ritual Jeelakarra-Bellamu smearing a paste of cumin seeds and jaggery on each other’s hands. The groom ties mangalsutra around the bride’s neck. Bride and groom exchange garlands in Kanya Daan Akshata and receive blessings from elders. The bride and groom walk seven steps together around the fire as the priest chants mantras in the Saptapadi ritual. In the Sthaalipaakam ritual the groom decorates the feet of the bride with silver toe rings.

The wedding is generally a grand affair and great detailing is done while choosing the wedding dress and jewelry. Telugu Brides wears a red, maroon or some bright coloured saree on the wedding day and is ensembled with heavy jewelry making her the cynosure of all eyes. Telugu grooms wear traditional Indian dress dhoti, Kurta or Sherwani. Specialty of Telugu wedding is pachadi made from neem leaves, banana, jaggery, sugar cane and tamarind. The wedding feast also includes varieties of Rice, Sambar, Curry and Sweets.

Telugu wedding customs and traditions don’t come to an end with the wedding but continue to be performed a day after the wedding with a number of other rituals as the bride begins her new life in grooms house.

I have been asked to do a review of vivahabandhan.com, a matrimonial Site. Since I have been in the Marriage and wedding business for quite sometime,

My first overall impression was that, the website was very easy to navigate as all the important links sit at the top of the page and the nicest thing was that registration took me less than 1 min. Most important of all the the matrimony website is 100% free. I just can’t believe that matrimony can be this CHEAP ;-p. This includes premium offerings such as chat features, contact details. The reason being that this website was created, according to the CEO, Asif, out of frustration with the more streamlined Matchmaking websites that only care for people’s money with no serious intention to assist people to find their soul partner. Now with this website, you can spend as much time as you want to chat, message and get involved in its website with no time and function limitations whatsoever until you find your pricesless partner or true love as its domain name suggests.

The nice thing about VivahaBandhan is its Match Making function. This function works according to a preset categories such as age and marital status just like you have on myspace and friendster. and also according t horoscope/ astrology You can pick a partner from your own country. Amongst heavily populated profiles are those from U.S., Canada, UK, Arab Countries, Singapore, Malysia, Australia and New Zealand while from Asia are China, India and Thailand. But rest assured, the website is going to gain popularity from time to time and for all you know you would have 10,000’s of people registered from your neighbourhood or somebody across the border might just pick you out from the crowd. Do you ever imagine or fancy starting a new life overseas? Upon overall review, the strongest points of the website, which can easily distinguish it from the rest, to me are as follows:

* The many wonderful profiles that it has whom I think can be considered as very interesting. To find out who these profiles are, you may click on the Advanced link.
* Innovative profile search
* free matrimonial search
* free registration and many more
* Meet your Dream Life Partner HERE WITH SIMILAR KIND OF INTERESTS

To increase number of subscribers, I do believe that Asif can offer free ebook on Marraige and relationships and then follow up with these people through emails by showing latest matched profiles from vivahabandhan.com’s database (Direct email marketing). This will definitely help to attract people back to the website and potentially persuade them to fill in a complete profile for other users to check out.
Nevertheless, there’s nothing to lose to register on vivahabandhan.com. So why not go there now and sign up? It’s 100% FREE!

In India, the Matrimonial Ad is an effective way to find a perfect match. Personal Ad is the latest trend in the western world, especially in an Internet world This article provides a brief overview of the trends with specific emphasis on the india and seeing how this is reflected through advertising with a few tips along the way, so if you find this interesting, then read on…

INDIAN MATRIMONIAL ads have always reflected what is going on in society. In India these type of ads are very common, mostly initiated by elders, at least that’s how they are worded; even a 40 year old is termed a boy/girl.

It’s largely a scenario of an arranged marriage. Surely arranged marriages have some important points in their favour. Parents take an enormous amount of trouble to assess compatibility. And they are often best equipped to calculate the complex web of factors that will contribute to long-term compatibility; they are led by the head, not the heart.

PERSONAL ads on the other hand, rarely mention the word “marriage”, though it is often the eventual intention. They talk of commitment or long term relationship before entering into a marriage. These are now the latest trend in the western world, especially in the US. The basic idea is to experiment with a relationship before entering into marriage by presenting more of personality traits, making a more interesting reading than the usual run of matrimonial ads with their emphasis on tangible factors like looks, education, money, job, and family. One reason why matrimonial ads sound so solemn; any attempt at humour would be deemed flippant.

In the india, we have a mixture of both. However, this is only reflected in very few publications

such as the M.I.L MatchMaker Magazine, or Eastern Eye Newspaper Column. One reason for the reluctance to advertise more freely in india compared to the more commonly as in India or the US is the fact that a significant proportion of the Asian population in the india still hold to their old traditional cultures and prefer to strike their own matchmaking through their own social circles and this is getting increasingly difficult for them.

As a result we see greater freedom from the 2nd and 3rd generations where their own choice is of paramount importance than that of their parents, and they are much more flexible nowadays blending with the Eastern and Western culture.

Many individuals are now starting to take an active interest and taking to “personal matrimonial ads” as the way forward in search for their partners either online or offline. A large number of advertisers are in their thirties and forties and that many of them have been divorced. Some don’t find the time in their busy schedules for a social life that could yield them a partner. Cut off from one’s community is an urban jungle, it can be a very lonely life. These professional people see personal ads as a way of starting relationships on their terms, at their pace.

Advertisers are apt to draw a flattering picture of themselves sometimes to draw attention. The point is to recreate oneself as one would like to be, or, better yet, as how one thinks other people would like you to be. In today’s culture of advertisement, where a bottle of coke can be shown as sexy, to glamorise oneself does not become difficult. To a certain extent there is an art involved in writing ads, the most effective one’s suggest a uniqueness of personality, a sense of humour, perhaps a touch of humility. But one must not try and seek of what is not possible at all to try and get ten out of ten points right.

For women “warm” attracts attention. For men, the magic words are “financially secure” and

“athletic”. The most trying element in personal/matrimonial ads is the first blind meeting - there is no manual yet to handle such a situation. Even a drink with someone whom you instantly dislike can look like hell.

“You have to kiss a few frogs to land a prince” concedes one lady who’s now happily engaged as a result of her ads in MatchMaker. But you must persevere on to get somewhere she said.

Some women advertisers also find that a person whom they dropped after their first introduction keeps on pestering them with telephone calls and gifts.

The matrimonial or personal ads scene in the india is not static though -it’s changing over time. The word “status” is replacing “respectable”. The prospect of a bride having to live abroad is rather welcoming than cause for parental worry. Ads from divorced one’s are on the increase with more older persons also advertising.

Some things, however, seem to be holding fast: concern for the girl’s complexion, her being slim, “homely”, and above all, beautiful.

Whilst the bulk of the matrimony site ads soldier on with the standard format, you now come across quite a few where the personal element is in greater evidence. Words like “dynamic” and “down-to-earth” are creeping in. In M.I.L. MatchMaker Magazine advertisers explain at some length what they are and what sort of partner is wanted. A man says -“I am amicable, understanding and sensitive by nature”, or a woman wanting someone “caring, optimistic, independent or professional, broad-minded with a zest for living”.
