Throwing Oranges into the Lake (To Fetch a Husband)
On 15th Day of Chinese New Year, single ladies should obtain 3 mandarins and on each one, write the three most important traits of a man they want to marry, asking the God of Marriage (who resides on the Moon) to send a beau and then throw them into the lake.
Introducing Feminine Energy in a Male Bedroom
A man's room with objects, like guns, ships, etc. will only attract other male friends into your home, not a woman you would like to get married with! Introduce some female or Yin energy into the room with soft furnishings, and colours, posters of the dream girls you'd like to be with. If you're looking seriously for a woman to marry then be careful not to display types of women that you're likely NOT to marry.
Avoid Dark Red Roses with Thorns
Dark red roses with thorns actually have quite negative feng shui meaning, contrary to the traditional belief which finds them symbol of love! The colour red (apart from being used in marriage) symbolises bleeding and has negative connotations on occasions celebrating love, companionship and happiness. Pink, yellow, peach or cream roses (with thorns removed) have wonderful symbolic meanings associated with young love!
Red Lights in the Southwest
Energising the Southwest of your Living Room and Bedroom with Red lights is the ultimate conjugal secret for more active social life inside & outside the bedroom! To double the effect go for Rose Quartz crystal mandarin ducks and paintings of Red Peonies in the Southwest.
Facing Your Love Direction on a Date
If you're going out with someone special out for a dinner date on Valentine's day, make sure you're sitting facing your Nien Yen direction, depending on your date of birth to maximise your feng shui luck for happiness!
Remove Mirrors from Bedroom
Mirrors are often said to reflect another person always coming in between two people. This often means an 'extra marital affair' but sometimes it can be anyone such as a discouraging relative , a green-eyed friend etc... So remove or cover mirrors in bedroom.

What is Love? How Do You Know If You Have Found The Right Person?
By Tony Tate
What is love? Is it something you can feel? How do people know if they have found the person they could spend the rest of their lives with? It would be easier to know if we've found this person if we could know what love is.
Initially when we meet someone we like there is probably something physical attracting us. We may feel attracted. Then if all goes well - you go out, have a good time, and find you want to spend more time with one another - you may begin to have more feelings for one another. But is this love? Time is the answer to all of these questions and the tester of the relationship.
Keep sex out of the mix. When sex becomes part of the equation things become confusing fairly quickly. Sex is a strong and powerful gift that should only be used in marriage to become more intimate - more intimate than you could without it. Outside of marriage it only serves to destroy any chance of truly knowing if you have love for someone or, if they have love for you.
If your relationship is based on sex you are on an unstable foundation. If your feelings change so will your desire to have sex, so will your so called feelings of love with this person and, the same is true for them. Sex only works if love is the foundation of a marriage relationship.
Feelings change and this makes it an unstable foundation for a relationship as well. A lot of times feelings change when the bliss of sex has worn off or, the things you can't stand about the other person surfaces with more frequency. Sex will cause you to look past the things you can’t really live with in another person. And when sex fails to work for you, all you have left are all those things that irritate you about your partner.
So what is love? If you can keep sex from coming into the picture the time you spend together can help you find out if you can love the person you're seeing. You will learn what their values are. You will learn what makes them tick and what drives them. You will find out if you could love them through the time you spend together.
What are the interests you share? What things are you passionate about together? Are there things that get on your nerves - drive you crazy? Can you live with those things? Are you driven by the same things they are driven by? Do all these interests that you both share cause you to draw closer or, do they make you want to spend less time together? If after you have seen all there is to see in a person and you are still drawn then you are ready - Ready for what? -To make a decision.
Love is not a feeling or an attraction. It is a decision. In all the things you learn about one another you must weigh whether or not you can live with those things. Are the traits in this person the traits you are looking for in a mate? Do their flaws turn you off to the point that you will choose not to love at some point? Is there enough in them that you like and admire for you to make a decision to love them for the rest of your life? See, love is a verb. It is an action word. It is something you decide to do. It is something you make a commitment to do in good times and bad. In other words you are deciding after everything that you have seen that you can still love the person inside.
From the bible here is a description of love:
(4)Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud (5) or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. (6)It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. (7)Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. (8)Love will last forever..(1 Corinthians 13:4-8)

Valentine's Day Romantic Ideas.
By Sean Carter
It’s Valentine’s Day and could the mood get more romantic? It is the time for togetherness, the time to cherish the company of the person who makes your life more special and it is the time to love and be loved. So go ahead and do everything you can to make it a special and memorable Valentine's Day. In case you are a little out of ideas, check out this list of romantic ideas for your Valentine’s Day. Club these up with your own romantic ideas and have an unforgettable Valentine’s Day. So here come some Valentine’s Day romantic ideas for you and your sweetheart to take up:
Everyone remembers their first date, right? So recreate that first date you had with your partner on Valentine’s Day and see the sparks fly. Just do it all over again—from what you wore, where you went, what you talked about, etc. This will literally be a romantic walk down memory lane and the thrill of reliving a new romance will also be there. So why not?
Write a self-created note to your beloved on Valentine’s Day. And if you are a woman, wear dark lipstick and put kiss-prints all over it. If you are a man, spray some of your daily body cologne on it. This will not only make your beloved feel pampered, but it will also add a tremendous boost to all the romance in the air on February 14.
Here’s another of the fun romantic ideas for Valentine’s Day that you can try out this year. Keep a tab on all the places your partner generally visits in a day. Leave a love note in each such place so that your sweetheart discovers a note everywhere he/ she lays hand on. For instance, leave a note in the fridge, under the plate, in the purse or wallet, in between the dollar bills and so on. This next Valentine's Day romantic idea is a little time-taking, but a winner for sure. Make a makeshift restaurant on your terrace and send a cute invite to your partner. Cook or get all the favorite dishes of your beloved’s choice and have a feast to remember. When the meal is over, get a bill and write on it: “salad price: one hug, pasta price: two kisses, desserts price: five kisses” to get your love beaming in all the innovation.
Now if you are a true romantic, then this idea is just the thing for you. Leave a trail of heart-shaped candies wrapped in red from the door to the bed of your partner. Then write a note like “My heart is where you are, my dear” and leave it on the bed. Make sure not to be there in the house when he/ she steps in.
Now if you’re looking for some simple and sweet romantic ideas for Valentine’s Day, check this out. On Valentine's Day, call your partner at work several times and tell him/ her how great he/ she looks and how lucky you are to be with him/ her. A compliment is as romantic as any other physical gesture. And it’s all that you beloved craves for each moment, more so on Valentine’s Day.
Or you may also organize a day-out on Valentine's Day with your sweetheart. Blindfold him/ her and drive to a place where you have already set up a blanket, candies, flowers and food of his/ her choice. Gifted a day like this, your valentine will gladly admit that you are the greatest romantic in the world.
Here’s a fun idea to pep up the romance on Valentine’s Day—buy a lottery ticket and attach a note on it—“I hit a jackpot when I met you”. Hide it with the other Valentine's gifts and give it to your partner as you wish a ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ or ‘be my Valentine’ or ‘will you marry me’. Another of the irresistibly romantic ideas for your Valentine’s Day—On February 14, you can replace the light bulbs in your bedroom with candles. Candles are a Valentine’s Day favorite for their warm snug glow and romantic effusion, so they might just help you get into a romantic mood. And if you are alone on Valentine's Day, you needn’t worry because here’s a fun idea for you too. Decorate your house with flowers, take along bubble bath, have some delicious food and watch your favorite movie. The quality time you spend with yourself will be the perfect Valentine's Day treat for you, and why not !
So try out these Valentine's Day romantic ideas and have a memorable time with your valentine. Remember to pack up your work early on February 14 and head straight home or wherever your beloved is to enjoy all the romance this Valentine's Day ! And here are some funnily helpful tips for you to bear in mind as you date full throttle on Valentine’s Day:
Useful Tips For Your Valentine's Day Date Make sure that you don’t give the same Valentine's Day card as last year. Don’t leave your date alone with your folks. Don’t blow your nose. Do not give her an engagement ring you got for someone else. Don’t get your partner a gift he/ she may be allergic to.
