...22. The believing wife and husband are to walk in a spirit of submission and love. As found in Ephesians 5:22-23, discuss the walk of each mate. (One page/250 words minimum) Groom: I,____, take thee,_____, to my lawful wedded Wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth Bride: I,_____, take thee,_____, to be my lawful wedded Husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, cherish, and to obey, till death us do part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I give thee my troth. The above are typical wedding vows from “The book of Common Prayer” (1928) used in England. In America, currently, the traditional vows have been modified considerably. Mostly on the woman’s vow that now has omitted the word “obey” and ends with “till death do us part” leaving God out of the vows and more often than not, out of the marriage. Paul outlines the believing wife’s and husband’s duties as they walk together through this life very clearly. A wife is walk in the Spirit of Submission to her husband acknowledging him as the head of authority in the family. (See I Corinthians 11:2-16; Colossians 3:18-19; I Peter 3:1-2) There are three reasons a wife is to be submissive: • To submit to God’s will: it is a...

...Covenant Marriages A covenant marriage is an optional form of marriage that intends to signify the commitment between a couple. It consist of all couples, including already married couples can change their original marriage to a covenant marriage. It was founded in 1999, by a Baptist minister and his wife. This organization now claims fifty thousand couples and sixty-five cooperating ministries. This system of marriage was designed to strengthen couples in a relationship. They wanted to return to the biblical values of marriage as being “forever”. Along with the pledge of “To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish ‘till death do us part” there are other requirements when considering a covenant marriage. Couples who choose covenant marriages must complete a series of pre-martial counseling sessions. They must sign affiants attesting to their understanding that marriage is a life-long commitment. If a couple is at risk of divorce they must get approval only if infidelity, physical or sexual abuse, or conviction of a felony were the causes. One of the main reasons why covenant marriages are successful is because it aims for the couple to complete counseling sessions or separate for at least 2 years to save their marriage if possible. During counseling sessions it will tackle the reasons many couples divorce. Martial disaffection starts when there is a gradual loss of emotional...

...Project 2 If We Must Die Close Reading Claude McKays poem “If we must Die” has a strong underlying meaning that is brought out by a few lines within the middle of the poem. The quote goes from line 5 till the end of line 8. The quote has some serious power behind it and brings the whole meaning of the poem together. It develops the idea that if one were to die that it be a noble and honorable death as if you were to die a hero. If a hero were to die that is exactly the way there would go out, holding their head high and proud. McKays poem develops the idea of a hero and if one were to die a hero that they would let it be a nobly proud and honorable death. When the poem is first read it is vague exactly what McKay is referring to. But after rereading and analyzing specific parts of the poem lots of conclusions can be derived. Certain lines in the poem are what can make the argument so strong. The main quote that allows one to believe in such argument is on line 5 through 8. “If we must die—oh, let us nobly die, So that our precious blood may not be shed In vain; then even the monsters we defy, Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!”(CITE***) This quote has a lot of meaning behind it in the sense that it highlights the main idea of the whole poem about noble and honorable death as a hero. There are certain word within the quote that help defy the main idea of the poem. They are certain words that really exemplify the main meaning of the poem as a whole. Mckay clearly chose...

...don’t have divorce and annulment it takes time and lots of money, It would help cut down the number of annulment cases that have piled up in court. It would be the way to escape if you’re already not happy in your relationship. But people might take advantage of it, this bill would just give them the chance to remarry countless times for lust and illegitimate children would rise. It is pushing away the possibility of enjoying a strong marriage bond, and keeping an alarm clock that should tell it’s time to separate ways. I disagree with this bill, aside from the Philippines is a Christian country; the family is the basic unit of society. If this will happen, gone are the days when the marriage vows “Till death do us part.” would be taken seriously and the vow will be “Till renewal do us part.“ The essence of why they are getting marriage in the first place will vanish and I don’t think it would be really fair to any children involved. Breaking a family is also breaking the society. It may also leave a big impact to their children; it would affect them mentally, emotionally, and physically. Marriage is a sacred union and it should be taken seriously. When you marry a person, you are entering into a life contract with them. The couple is obliged to strengthen the bond of their relationship to last longer. Each should be faithful and understanding. Problems may pass through your relationship but separation and escaping is never the answer to solve them, Happiness is a risk, be careful...

...treat the medical needs of the aging population. The new aging population is living longer and the cause of death for the majority will be from different types of diseases. The baby boomers do not want to become a burden on their families for their healthcare needs. Because of this it will cause a demand for more physicians and different kinds of healthcare facilities to care for the aging population. “By 2030, one in five Americans will be over age 65, and the healthcare system is just beginning to feel the burden. “ “Not only are there more seniors, but they are also living linger. Within the last century, life expectancy has increased by nearly 30 years. For men born in the 1900 life expectancy was general till age 48, but by 2000 life expectancy for me jumped to 74” years old. For women life expectancy back in the 1900 was till age 51, but life expectancy for women jumped to 74 in year 2000, and by 2050 the average women will live till the age of 86. (Matthews, 2013) Since the life expectancy is longer, the cost of healthcare will raise and the retired individuals will need to plan for these expenses before their retirement. One option is to push back the “retirement age beyond the currently accepted age of 65 years.” “ Another strategy would be for workers to increase their savings while damping down the spending so they’d have more resources when they do retire.” People will need to make improvements “in financial literacy, teaching and helping people to make better...

I would always not expect perfection to me a happy marriage means good communication skills both talking and listening, respect and responsibility for oneself. You should be able to be happy for each other when things are tough. You can be down on your luck, but a happy marriage means that at the end of the day you are happy to be with you your partner no matter what the circumstances may be. When you signed that paper, you made a promise to be with that person till death till you part. Falling in love with your partner many times might mean you should try different things.

...What makes cheaters want to cheat. whether its on a test ,relationship, or just life in general. There are cheaters around us everyday and they seem to always get away with it. Others are not so lucky and actually get caught. I personally think its wrong. You should be yourself and not worry about what other people want you to be. Be yourself and not the cheater. Cheating has so many forms, I think the worst one would have to be cheating in a relationship whether its a boyfriend or a girlfriend. If your going to be in a relationship with an individual you should be committed. You shouldn’t be going around behind each others backs seeing other individuals. What especially makes me mad is when a person in a marriage and they cheat on the spouse. What happened to the saying “till death do us part.” There are those very few who actually commit to that. Others end up cheating or ending up in divorce. I say that if your gonna cheat don’t be in a relationship. Throughout my school life since first grade, till now i’ve always encountered cheaters. I remember myself studying for a test for hours, then came the test days when id be sitting there taking my test and I look up and see a handful of individuals looking over at other peoples tests. It would make me mad to have studied for so long just to have someone look over my shoulder and take all my answers. When the grades would come back the cheaters always seemed to get a higher grade then the individuals who actually studied...

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1) To what extent is African slavery, as described in Equiano’s account, different from slavery practiced by Europeans in the Atlantic economy? 2) Based on information in this passage, to what extent can white people be blamed for the African slave trade? 3) Equiano later rose to be an advocate for the abolition of the slave trade. To what degree do you think that his biography is biased, colored by his political agenda? 1. I hope the reader will not think I have trespassed on his patience in introducing myself to him with some account of the manners and customs of my country. They had been implanted in me with great care, and made an impression on my mind, which time could not erase, and which all the adversity and variety of fortune I have since experienced served only to rivet and record; for, whether the love of one's country be real or imaginary, or a lesson of reason, or an instinct of nature, I still look back with pleasure on the first scenes of my life, though that pleasure has been for the most part mingled with sorrow. 2. I have already acquainted the reader with the time and place of my birth. My father, besides many slaves, had a numerous family, of which seven lived to grow up, including myself and a sister, who was the only daughter. As I was the youngest of the sons, I became, of course, the greatest favorite with my mother, and was always with her; and she used to take particular...

...star-cross'd lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife. The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love, And the continuance of their parents' rage, Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage; The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend. SCENE I. Verona. A public place. Enter SAMPSON and GREGORY, of the house of Capulet, armed with swords and bucklers SAMPSON Gregory, o' my word, we'll not carry coals. GREGORY No, for then we should be colliers. SAMPSON I mean, an we be in choler, we'll draw. GREGORY Ay, while you live, draw your neck out o' the collar. SAMPSON I strike quickly, being moved. GREGORY But thou art not quickly moved to strike. SAMPSON A dog of the house of Montague moves me. GREGORY To move is to stir; and to be valiant is to stand: therefore, if thou art moved, thou runn'st away. SAMPSON A dog of that house shall move me to stand: I will take the wall of any man or maid of Montague's. GREGORY That shows thee a weak slave; for the weakest goes to the wall. SAMPSON True; and therefore women, being the weaker vessels, are ever thrust to the wall: therefore I will push Montague's men from the wall, and thrust his maids to the wall. GREGORY The quarrel is between our masters and us their men. SAMPSON 'Tis all one, I will show myself a tyrant: when I have fought...

...opposite of life is death, once one has stopped to exhibit or show the characteristics of life, he or she is said to be dead. Life is also made of many activities, but we will see how to perform this activities. WHAT DO WE REQUIRE IN LIFE TO SUCCEED? For us to be able to succeed in life, we must know the times and seasons which are required of us to do everything we are to achieve in life. This leads us to “the seasons of life”. SEASONS OF LIFE: Just like the day which is made up of 24 hours is classified into morning, afternoon and night; for example, we take breakfast in the morning, lunch in the afternoon and dinner at night, we can’t say that we take breakfast at night and dinner in the morning. So also, life is classified into morning, afternoon and night, and these times have specific activities it wants us to perform. Let us consider each of them below. MORNING: The morning at every person’s life is the time frame from when he/she was born to 20 years of age. At this age, one is required to learn how to walk, read, write, show respect, learn the basics of education, respect for parents, respect for teachers and other elders in the society. One should also learn how to behave himself or herself in the public, how to speak with good manners in the public. At the latter part of this morning, say from 16-18 years, one should begin to think of what to do in the afternoon part if his or her life. AFTERNOON: In the morning part of life, someone should...

...internal feeling, which is an essential part of true politeness, is the same all over the world, however much its manifestations may differ. It is the desire to put those whom we meet perfectly at their ease, and save them from every kind of petty discomfort and annoyance. Benevolence in its ordinary sense implies love of our fellow-men and a desire to do all we can to promote their permanent happiness. The limited part of benevolence called politeness requires only an inclination to make them happy temporarily, while they are in our presence, and when this can be done without any sacrifice on our part or only with a slight sacrifice of personal comfort. It is possible that politeness may be dissociated from general excellence of character, as in the case of Charles II., who exhibited his remarkable urbanity of manner even on his death-bed by apologising for being “a most unconscionable time dying.” In certain cases there may even be a conflict between politeness and ordinary benevolence. For instance, a doctor may, by politely sacrificing his place in a conveyance to a lady, arrive late at a sickbed where his presence is urgently required. In such cases, of course, politeness should yield to the higher obligation. The particular actions in which politeness is manifested differ according to circumstances and according to the customs of different countries. As long as society recognises distinctions in rank, politeness requires us to show marks of respect to our superiors...

...Sigmund Freud, he states, “Not only did Freud’s clinical method stress attentive listening to his patients and assessment of the “texts” they created about themselves; it promoted a “metapsychology” or a seemingly structure (the unconscious mind) beneath a surface structure (the conscious mind) that we assumed was our self” (McComiskey 243). The conscious mind and the unconscious mind is two parts of who are, and how we act. We do things based on how we think, feel, and that’s how we respond to it. We have to be aware of the things that we do for us to see things that aren’t in the norm. Everything that we do always starts with “self.” In another perspective, In Pope, Studying English Literature and Language, He states, “Dreams, for Freud, are ‘the royal road to the unconscious’ (Pope 149). When it comes to Lockwood with him seeing things, one can infer that is him spacing off into another world, which would be more of the waking when he has a lot going...

...up with as many excuses not to go but my parents said that I had to go. So the time came after six months off waiting after getting the message that was sure to be the death of me. So after months of waiting the day finally came where I had to board the bus to Damai, Johor. Well to tell you the truth I was a little excited that I was about to go on a kind of adventure that would may or may not change my life. When the bus left the station I was a little worried about living my family behind. But that all changed when we hit the highway. There were hills that were filled with so much greenery that it was so hard to believe. Being a city kid the only jungle I see every day was the concrete jungle. The guys and girls who were on the same bus with me were singing and cracking jokes on the bus. After five hours of travelling, we arrive at the camp and training center. As we entered, I felt like a part of me had died. The campsite was like a war zone. The buildings look like they were from the eighteenth century and all though it was next to the beach the perimeter was barb-wired the mesh hall was crowded with other candidates from around the country. As we stepped out of the bus the heat wave that hit us was so great that I started sweating. Once we had taken our belongings from the bus, an instructor told us that we could have our lunch as it...
