Relationships are intricate webs of emotions, communication, and shared experiences. When faced with challenges such as infidelity, communication breakdowns, or intimacy issues, couples often embark on a journey to salvage their relationship. But are people putting too much effort into saving relationships? Let's delve into this question and explore the various factors at play.

Infidelity in Marriage: A Test of Trust and Commitment

Infidelity can rock the foundation of a marriage, causing immense pain and betrayal. When faced with such a crisis, couples may question whether it's worth the effort to salvage the relationship.

Seeking marriage counseling for infidelity or other issues can provide couples with the tools and strategies to improve communication. By learning to express their needs, listen actively, and resolve conflicts constructively, couples can cultivate healthier communication patterns and strengthen their bond.

Marriage Counselors offer a safe space for couples to explore their feelings, identify areas for improvement, and develop effective communication strategies. With the help of a skilled therapist, couples can work towards healing their marriage and building a more fulfilling relationship.

Conclusion: Finding Balance in Relationship Efforts

In conclusion, the question of whether people are putting too much effort into saving relationships is a complex one. While it's important to recognize when a relationship is no longer healthy or sustainable, many couples find value in seeking help to overcome challenges and strengthen their bond. Whether it's addressing infidelity, communication problems, or intimacy issues, seeking marriage counseling can provide couples with the tools and support they need to navigate difficult times and build a happier, more fulfilling relationship.

7 Marriage Problems That Astrology Can Solve

Marriage is a beautiful bond that connects two souls for a lifetime. It is a sacred bond built on trust, love, and understanding. However, not all marriages are perfect, and some problems can arise that cause stress and tension in the relationship. This is when astrology might be beneficial. Astrology is an ancient sacred science that can help solve several marriage or relationships related problems. We will explore seven marriage problems that astrology can solve and eventually make the marriage work.

Lack of communication

Communication is the key to a healthy marriage. It is effective to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts between you two. Astrology suggests that couples who have Mercury in their seventh house are excellent communicators. However, if you are facing communication problems in your marriage, you can chant the mantra of Mercury, “Om Budhaya Namah,” to improve communication in your marriage.

Disbelief

It is a significant problem that has the possibility of upsetting any marriage. To preserve your marriage, you must address this issue quickly. Venus is the planet that controls love and relationships in astrology. If your partner is cheating on you, chant the Venus mantra, “Om Shukraya Namah,” to restore love and affection in your marriage.

Financial problems

Financial troubles may be stressful and tense in any marriage. To minimize disputes, it is critical to handle funds efficiently. According to astrology, couples with Jupiter in their seventh house are more likely to be financially stable. If you are having money difficulties in your marriage, you can chant the Jupiter mantra, “Om Guruve Namah,” to attract wealth and success into your life.

Lack of Intimacy

In any marriage, intimacy is crucial. Maintaining a strong physical and emotional relationship with your partner is critical. Venus and Mars are the planets that regulate sexual desire and passion in astrology. If you are experiencing a lack of intimacy in your marriage, you can increase your physical and emotional connection with your partner by chanting the Mars mantra, “Om Mangalaya Namah.” and the Venus Beej mantra, “Aum Draam Dreem Droum Sah Shukraya Namah”.

Incompatibility

Incompatibility is a common concern that can emerge in every marriage. It is critical to solve that problem before it leads to a breakdown. According to astrology, couples with the Moon in their seventh house are more likely to be compatible. If you are having compatibility problems in your marriage, you can increase your emotional connection with your partner by chanting the Moon’s mantra, “Om Somaya Namah.”

Family interference Family interference

It may lead to a great deal of stress and conflict in any marriage. To avoid problems, it is critical to establish limits with your in-laws. Saturn is the planet that regulates limits and restrictions in astrology. If your marriage is being harmed by family members, say the Saturn mantra, “Om Shanaishcharaya Namah,” to create limits and defend your marriage.

Lack of trust

Trusting a partner will eventually lead to a healthier love life. It is a necessary component of any marriage.  The Sun is the astrological planet that regulates trust and loyalty. If you are experiencing a lack of trust in your marriage, you can build trust and loyalty in your partnership by chanting the Sun’s mantra, “Om Suryaya Namah.”

Astrology may also help you better understand and interact with your partner by providing insight into their personality, strengths, and shortcomings. You may overcome any obstacles in your marriage and deepen your relationship by understanding each other’s astrological characteristics.

It is critical to highlight that astrology should not be used only to cure marital difficulties. It should be used in conjunction with communication, therapy, and other problem-solving methods.

In conclusion, astrology can help solve several marriage problems. It is essential to consult with an astrologer to identify the root cause of the problem and find an appropriate solution. Chanting mantras can help improve the energy and vibrations in your life, leading to a happy and successful marriage. Remember, astrology is a tool that can help you overcome any obstacle in your life, including marriage problems.

Of Convenience 8.1

(all previous parts of "Of Convenience")

Adar x Celebrimbor (silverscars) political marriage AU, 8th snippet, part 1. Adar shows Morgoth’s crown to Celebrimbor. The smith has an idea. Adar lets him run with it.

Celebrimbor might not be a natural fighter, but he’ll still find ways to support his allies (especially his husband). It’s so very hard to write anything about this chapter without giving too much away, so I’ll just say – I tried to come up with a plot for this story, got hit with inspiration, and now here we are. I am so curious to see people’s reaction to this one! (And yes, Celebrimbor playing dice is indeed inspired by @plotdesigner’s fic ‚In My Scar Covered Heart‘. :P)

Celebrimbor hadn’t exactly been eager to catch a glimpse of Morgoth’s crown, to be quite honest. Knowing that it somehow still existed in middle earth and was in such close proximity to him was bad enough. If seeing it wouldn’t remind him of the silmaril or his family’s bloody history fighing the original owner of the crown, it surely would remind him of the maiar who had reforged it.

He didn’t have much of a choice however when, during another round of talks, Galadriel had asked – well, goaded – Adar into showing the crown to Elrond. Who, to her credit, had been rather disbelieving of the crown’s continued existence until then.

All three elves had immediately fallen silent and leant away when Adar had walked over to a wooden chest in the corner of the tent, opened it, and used his gauntleted hand to pull out a menacing-looking shape of darkened metal.

He carried the crown as if intending to place it on someone’s head, holding it with both hands and his arms stretched in front of his body as he came back towards them. Only his tight expression revealed that this was not due to reverence. 

It made sense, Celebrimbor thought – especially when Adar told the tale of how he’d been meant to place the crown upon Sauron’s red hair...and had driven it's spikes through the Deceiver’s shoulder and neck instead.

The coronation had been Sauron’s attempt to declare himself Morgoth’s successor; a position that would have placed all the uruk under his yoke. Celebrimbor couldn’t imagine he’d treated the uruk any more kindly than his enemies, so Adar taking the crown to him and ‘killing’ the maiar had likely been an act of desperation. And love.

No wonder Adar regarded the crown with such a complicated mix of emotions.

Adar placed the crown in the middle of the table, then sat back down to continue the conversation. Glancing at his fellow elves, Celebrimbor could tell that it was difficult for them to keep their attention focused on each other’s words instead of the object at first, but after a while, they managed.

The smith, however, found himself staring at it for the rest of the conversation. He registered some of the words – their talk revolved around Gil-Galad and his intention to visit the uruk camp to speak with Adar directly –, but for the most part, Celebrimbor focused on the crown and its design.

It did indeed look pointy enough to puncture flesh with, if handled with that intention. He could almost imagine how it must have gone – Adar holding up the crown, turning it around to thrust it into Sauron’s shoulder.

A dangerous position to strike from, though, as Adar would have had to leave his middle completely unprotected. But then again, Sauron had left himself open to injury as well. It made Celebrimbor question what their prior relationship might have been like, as both of them had served Morgoth...willingly or unwillingly. And Adar made it sound as if he knew Sauron quite well, to the point that he understood how his mind worked. 

Though it had not made him any less prone to the maiar’s scheming than Galadriel and Celebrimbor had been, the latter silently thought to himself.

He felt an urge to ask the uruk about these things; Adar’s past was still largely shrouded in mystery. But the uruk had avoided any clever attempts of Elrond and more direct goading from Galadriel to reveal more of himself so far, and only offered whatever information he deemed neccessary to defeat their common enemy. Nothing more.

And so Celebrimbor bit his tongue, and settled on waiting (hoping) for a time when Adar might be inclined to share more about this part of himself of his own volition.

The smith’s mind was drawn back to the crown then. It looked to be made of iron, though unusually dark. He tried to parse how it had been made, with what tools and in what conditions, whether any traces of the silmaril or Morgoth had seeped into the metal and still remained there.

He was so consumed with his musings that he startled slightly when Galadriel, Elrond and Adar stood up from the table - their current round of talks had come to an end. Or, at least a pause, it seemed. As Celebrimbor slowly got up, Elrond spoke. "We will bring this proposal to High King Gil-Galad," he looked at Galadriel to indicate he meant the both of them. "If he agrees, he will accompany us into your camp when we return."

"Though, be aware that the king will not come here unarmed, or unguarded," the peredhel added. But it wasn’t said as a threat. It actually rather sounded as if Elrond was just relaying a fact that Adar should just take into consideration.

This, too, was a recent change. It seemed that Elrond was slowly opening himself up to the idea that the elves would indeed join forces with Adar’s army and march on Eregion together.

Perhaps it was due to the fact that, for a few days now, Adar had permitted Galadriel to leave the uruk camp and accompany the herald back on his way to the high king. Which she had initially taken as a way for Adar to test whether or not she would leave Celebrimbor unprotected amidst an army of enemies. But it turned out to be a show of trust instead - that she would help Elrond argue his case, and then come back to spend time with her friend again.

An arrangement that had worked out quite well, in fact; Galadriel had been reluctant to leave at first, but after some reassurance from Celebrimbor, she had. Only for a short while at first, and she had barely gone far enough to disappear from the sight of the guards around the camp, after which she had returned in a hurry.

It had taken a second and a third attempt until she left for multiple hours and came back at a leisurely pace, skeptical but ultimately pleased when she found that Celebrimbor where she’d left him, playing a simple game of dice with Glûg and another uruk guard.

After that, she'd been fine with leaving Celebrimbor and Adar for even longer periods of time, and whenever she returned and found them sharing a meal or conversing, a small smirk stole itself onto her face for reasons Celebrimbor could not quite parse yet.

Adar acknowledged the herald’s words with a humm. "Not unreasonable. Be aware, then, that I will not be unarmed or unguarded, either." This, too, was just presented as a simple fact. Celebrimbor couldn’t help but feel proud of how far they all had already come since the negotiations started.

"Not unreasonable, either," Elrond replied and actually quirked up his lips for a moment. While Adar didn’t return the gesture with a smile of his own, he tilted his head at the herald in a show of acknowledgement.

Elrond and Galadriel were quick to depart afterwards; they wanted to talk to their king, and if Ereinion indeed intended to come to Adar’s camp, preparations would have to be made. The two elves made sure to thank Adar for the food and drink they had received, and spent a moment to say their – temporary – goodbyes to Celebrimbor.

Once they had left, the smith sat back in his chair. "That went quite well," he judged as he gave Adar a smile of elation. "I think we might indeed be close to a treaty now, with the high king willing to walk into the camp to negotiate with you directly."

Of course, talks with Gil-Galad would surely pose their own difficulties. He had neither the fiery temper of Galadriel nor the biting sarcasm Elrond employed at times, but he was certainly not shy to state his own objections, would not back down in the face of adversity, and held himself with the grace and self-assured air – well, pride – befitting a king. Qualities that were beneficial for rulership, but which might clash with Adar’s own stubbornness and sense of authority during the coming talks.

Celebrimbor decided he would cross that bridge when they came to it.

"It did," Adar agreed, picked up his goblet and took a sip from it. He notably hadn’t sat down at the table again, despite the fact that there was still a half-unfinished meal on his plate. Perhaps he needed to walk off the tension. Celebrimbor had certainly seen him pace their tent like a wolf after the first few negotiations, agitated even as he refused to elaborate on the reasons why, before he stormed off to meet with his lieutenants.

The smith could usually guess the reasons nonetheless, anyways.

"You have been quite focused on that thing," the uruk stated, apropos of nothing. When Celebrimbor raised his eyebrows in question, Adar’s eyes briefly settled on the crown before the turned back to the smith. "Is it because of the gemstones it once held?"

Celebrimbor quickly shook his head, "No, I- it’s not that," his gaze wandered back to the object in question, as if drawn there by something not of his own will. "I was actually considering what it might be made of. Or how it was made."

A light snort, and Adar emptied his goblet before he went to pour himself another drink. Water, this time, instead of wine. Ever since the negotations had started to go more smoothly, wine had mysteriously disappeared from the table during talks. Now, the uruk only offered it when he and Celebrimbor were eating on their own.

A fact that Celebrimbor had noted with a wry sense of humor – he didn’t believe Adar needed the wine to endure those conversations. It seemed more likely he wanted to savor it now instead of using it to calm his temper. Which was, in fact, a thought that softened something in Celebrimbor’s chest.

"Iron, from what little I know. It was Mairon who was gifted in the craft of smithing, not I," the uruk shrugged.

Celebrimbor acknowledged Adar’s words with a nod and humm, before he turned back to the intimdating shape in the middle of the table. "May I?" he asked as he pointed at it. At Adar’s slow nod, he extended careful fingers and gingerly dragged the object towards himself.

It felt frighteningly similar to any ordinary iron crown as he held it in his hands. Cold to the touch, and heavy – it would have likely been uncomfortable to wear for long on the head of any mortal being. It also seemed unwieldy, as the smith lifted it and turned it about in his hands.

Even if he didn’t have the strength of a warrior, Celebrimbor could tell this would be difficult to handle during combat. Which, come to think of it, could prove to be a disadvantage when facing Sauron, who was quick on his feet and – judging by Galadriel's and Adar's accounts – quite skilled in battle. If only it was a bit lighter, and perhaps, had longer spikes-

He stopped. Frowned. Then lifted his eyebrows as he stared at the opposite side of the tent, then back at the crown, and finally at Adar.

The uruk, who had let Celebrimbor silently consider the iron adornment without comment, wore an expression of intrigue that quickly changed to one of caution.

The smith sprung up from his chair, and held up the crown. "Would you...if it could be done, would you want me to...try and improve this? For the oncoming battle?"

There was a very long moment of silence. The uruk’s face held some surprise, but for the most part, it had turned to stone. The smith cringed at himself – in his enthusiasm, taken with his own rapidly forming idea, he had forgotten that this was Adar’s best chance at killing Sauron.

Of course, he wouldn’t want Celebrimbor to tinker with it, so close to finalizing the alliance with the elves and fighting their shared enemy. The smith didn’t even know if he could. And yet-

"I am not sure even one such as you might be able to do that," Adar said, slowly. His gaze slipped off to the side as he pursed his lips and drew his brows. His gauntleted hand flexed where he’d propped his arm onto the table.

And then, as he turned his eyes back to Celebrimbor, "But, if that is your wish...you may try."

Celebrimbor must have looked as astonished as he felt, he was sure of it. Especially so when, after a while, he could see a very small grin grow on Adar's face. It was just as unexpected as his permission, and caused Celebrimbor to fluster a little.

The uruk's next words were quiet. "Though, be careful as you do. After Morgoth, none other than Mairon has been able to even put a dent in this thing. Believe me, myself and countless of my children have tried."

Celebrimbor nodded, and pressed the crown to his chest. He noted with unease the the metal was not warming to his touch, but ignored that for the moment. "I am not certain I will be able to accomplish anything with it, either, but- I would like to try, at least. Since so much depends on it."

He didn't say it out loud, but he meant the fate of Eregion and Mordor just as much as that the two armies, and the lives of his friends, his own - and that of his husband. Which would be in such a vulnerable, fragile state if he were the one to brandish the crown against Sauron. The thought unsettled the elf, had in fact begun to disturb him the more he talked to Adar, learnt of him, stayed with him.

'I do not wish to lose him in this battle,' the smith thought. Not just because of the alliance, or what would become of Adar's children. No, this was - affection, as strange as it still was to admit to himself. He wasn't sure if the uruk thought of them as friends yet, but Celebrimbor certainly thought of them as more than allies by now.

With a resolute, determined expression, the smith straightened, and then went to wrap the crown in some rough fabric. He had a hunch Adar's children might not appreciate it if he walked through their midst with that thing on display.

"I'll ask Glûg to accompany me to Gurlak's forge. Would you send for me, if you receive any word from my friends?"

The Lord Father of the uruk made a shooing motion, and finally sat back at the table, ready to finish his meal. "I will. Go- I have a feeling this will take some time," he motioned at the bundle in Celebrimbor's arms, "And I need to prepare myself for what is to come."

Celebrimbor threw the uruk a sympathetic glance. "If you want my advice, it might be a good call to serve wine once the high king arrives. He is rather fond of the drink, and yours should be of a taste he enjoys," he further thought on it, briefly. "Also, green foods - vegetables, leafy greens. Pickles might do, but do not serve only those." He drew a face.

Adar pinched his lips lest they quirk into another grin, but then showed his assent - and his thanks - with a tilt of his head.

Celebrimbor was struck with how little Adar used his hands in conversations; he and his fellow elves were quite prone to gesturing, whereas the uruk was still as a stone for much of the time and usually moved at a slow, almost leisurely pace. The elf pondered if this was due to the fact that he was so long-lived, or if it had other reasons.

"I will take that into consideration. Now, go. I am sure Galadriel and Elrond will be back much quicker than we might expect."

With a smile and another fond look in Adar's direction, Celebrimbor did as he was bid, and exited the tent. Luckily, Glûg was right outside - and judging by his very innocent, decidedly desinterested look, had been trying to eavesdrop. Again. Celebrimbor ignored it and said, "Glûg, please, take me to Gurlak at once."

Effective Marriage Communication | Naked Marriage Online

Communication is the cornerstone of any successful marriage. It allows partners to connect, understand each other, and resolve conflicts effectively. However, many couples struggle with communication issues in marriage, which can lead to misunderstandings, arguments, and even relationship breakdowns. This article explores common communication problems, offers solutions, and highlights the benefits of seeking help from marital counselors near you.

Understanding Communication Issues in Marriage

Communication issues in marriage can manifest in various ways. Some common problems include:

Misunderstandings: Miscommunication often leads to misunderstandings. Partners may misinterpret each other's words, tone, or intentions, causing unnecessary conflict.

Lack of Active Listening: Many couples struggle with active listening. Instead of fully engaging with what their partner is saying, they might be thinking about their response or getting defensive.

Avoiding Difficult Conversations: Some couples avoid discussing sensitive topics to prevent arguments. However, this avoidance can lead to unresolved issues that fester over time.

Emotional Reactivity: High emotional reactivity, such as anger or frustration, can hinder effective communication. When emotions run high, it becomes difficult to have constructive conversations.

Solutions to Improve Communication

Addressing Solutions to Improve Communication issues in marriage requires effort and commitment from both partners. Here are some effective strategies:

Practice Active Listening: Active listening involves fully concentrating on what your partner is saying without interrupting or planning your response. Show empathy by acknowledging their feelings and validating their experiences.

Use “I” Statements: Instead of blaming or criticizing, use "I" statements to express your feelings and needs. For example, say "I feel hurt when..." instead of "You always make me feel...".

Schedule Regular Check-Ins: Set aside time for regular check-ins to discuss your relationship, address any concerns, and celebrate positive aspects. This practice can prevent issues from escalating.

Stay Calm and Respectful: During disagreements, remain calm and respectful. Avoid yelling, name-calling, or bringing up past grievances. Focus on resolving the current issue constructively.

Seek Intimacy Counseling: Intimacy is an essential aspect of marriage. If you’re facing challenges in this area, consider intimacy counseling. A professional can help you and your partner reconnect and strengthen your emotional bond.

The Role of Marital Counselors

Marital counselors near you can play a crucial role in improving communication in your marriage. These professionals offer a safe space for couples to express their feelings, understand each other's perspectives, and develop effective communication skills. Here are some benefits of seeking help from marital counselors:

Objective Perspective: A counselor provides an unbiased perspective, helping you see issues more clearly and understand each other's viewpoints.

Conflict Resolution Skills: Counselors teach practical conflict resolution skills that you can use to navigate disagreements and find mutually acceptable solutions.

Emotional Support: Counseling sessions offer emotional support, helping both partners feel heard and validated. This support can reduce emotional reactivity and promote healthier interactions.

Personalized Advice: Counselors provide personalized advice tailored to your unique situation. They can help you identify specific communication patterns that need improvement and offer targeted strategies.

Common Marriage Problems and Solutions

Besides communication, there are other common marriage problems that couples might face. Understanding these issues and their solutions can further strengthen your relationship.

Financial Stress: Money problems can cause significant strain in a marriage. To address this, create a budget together, set financial goals, and communicate openly about your financial situation.

Different Parenting Styles: Parenting differences can lead to conflicts. Work together to establish common parenting goals and strategies. Respect each other's perspectives and find compromises.

Loss of Intimacy: Over time, couples might experience a decline in intimacy. Prioritize quality time together, engage in activities that both enjoy, and consider intimacy counseling if needed.

Work-Life Balance: Balancing work and personal life can be challenging. Ensure you allocate time for each other, establish boundaries between work and home, and support each other's professional aspirations.

Tips for Maintaining Healthy Communication

Maintaining healthy communication in marriage is an ongoing process. Here are some additional tips to help you and your partner stay connected:

Express Appreciation: Regularly express appreciation for your partner. Acknowledge their efforts, both big and small, and show gratitude. This positive reinforcement strengthens the bond between you.

Be Patient and Understanding: Patience is key in any relationship. Understand that your partner may have different communication styles and needs. Be patient as you both work on improving your communication.

Set Boundaries: Establish boundaries for discussions, especially during heated moments. If a conversation becomes too intense, agree to take a break and resume the discussion when both of you are calmer.

Focus on the Present: Avoid bringing up past issues during current disagreements. Focus on resolving the issue at hand rather than rehashing old arguments. This helps prevent conversations from becoming overwhelming.

Seek Professional Help When Needed: Don't hesitate to seek professional help if you're struggling with communication issues. Marital counselors can provide valuable guidance and tools to improve your relationship.

Conclusion

Effective communication is vital for a healthy and fulfilling marriage. By addressing communication issues in marriage, practicing active listening, using "I" statements, and seeking help from marital counselors near you, you can strengthen your relationship and navigate challenges more effectively. Remember, it's normal to face problems in a marriage, but with commitment and the right strategies, you can overcome them and build a stronger, more connected partnership.

In Convenience, Chapter 1, Part 2

Adar x Celebrimbor (silverscars) political marriage to marriage of love AU, post story chapter 1, part 2. Despite Adar’s reassurances, the smith tries to overcome his own apprehension and create the wedding rings himself. After facing difficulties, his uruk husband offers them both an alternative solution.

Poor Celebrimbor is getting hit with a dose of ambition again. It's good he has Adar with him this time. A big thank you to @plotdesigner once again, who undoutably inspired some of the ideas about uruk marriages and related customs with her writing! <3

As Celebrimbor quickly found out two days later, the thought of forcing himself to make rings for himself and his husband was, indeed, a bit of a foolish one.

It was frustrating, to say the least. He’d given the others instructions to spend the day outside and rather help the uruk better set up their camp to brave the bright sunshine, since there had been few clouds during the last couple of days.

It had been both an honest attempt to help Adar and his children, but also a welcome opportunity to sit in the remnants of the forge and try to reclaim another part of himself.

A part that Celebrimbor felt had been stolen from him, tainted and twisted, when 'Annatar' had taken his knowledge and skill and used it for his own means.

Some of it, he had already regained in Gurlak’s little forge. But some facet of him – his pride, he’d come to suspect with a scowl – wasn’t satisfied with that. It wanted to work in his own forge again, and it wanted to work on something similar yet wholly different than what he’d last worked on in here.

Weddings bands. Simple, elven wedding bands.

Celebrimbor knew the tradition well – silver rings for engagement, and then a simple gold band for married pairs, worn on the right index finger.

Of course, as a smith with his heritage and due to the fact that this was not a traditional Eldar marriage, Celebrimbor had felt as if that would have been too simple a task for him.

No, he wanted to create something that encompassed both the beauty and the depth of the love he felt for his husband, perhaps even rivalled the elven rings of power. Something that Adar would be proud to wear and display, simple enough for a warrior, yet distinct. Shaped with intention as well as skill.

Yes, that would be a good way to represent their union.

The problem was that Celebrimbor had been unable to complete even a single, satisfactory sketch.

He was ruffling his own hair in agitation as he faltered, then stopped, with yet another design – too clunky, too big, too elaborate – and leant back in his chair with a loud, frustrated groan while he rubbed his hands over his face.

He’d been at this for hours, judging by the movement of the sun outside. And yet he had nothing to show for it.

The elf flung the graphite he’d used across the table in a sudden, almost petulant surge of anger at himself. It jumped off the table once and, as it did so, broke apart.

Celebrimbor’s anger broke right alongside it.

At the door to the forge, he heard movement. The elf could immediately guess who it was, but did not consider himself to be in the right state of mind to turn around and greet the other. Instead, he leant forward and buried his face in his hands, elbows propped up on the table.

Out of anyone, he’d hoped his husband might not be the one to find him here, like this.

"A very kind gesture, to send us your assistants to aid my children in erecting sun tarps," the uruk spoke as he entered the forge proper. "However, I must admit that I was missing your presence at the camp."

It was said in a teasing manner. And yet, Celebrimbor almost felt as if that made it all worse.

He remained hunched over his work table, unmoving, and let the thought pass him by. This was his husband – he had obviously missed Celebrimbor, had actually decided to come and visit him in his forge despite his many tasks. He did not and could not know of the smith’s struggle with himself.

The uruk fell silent when he got no answer, and soon, measured footsteps were nearing the table. While the elf didn’t particularly look forward to the conversation they’d undoutably soon have, he felt a weight fall off his shoulders knowing Adar was here.

He had felt terribly lonely, all by himself, amid the remnants of destruction and previous failures.

The uruk finally came to stand directly next to Celebrimbor’s table, so close that the elf could feel his body heat. It was tempting to remain in the dark and imagined safety of his own hands, but Celebrimbor had never been the one to choose the easiest route over the most sensible.

Most of the time, anyway.

He let his fingers slip off of his face, before he folded them and pressed his mouth against them, staring straight ahead. He needed a moment, and then glanced up at his husband, aware that his unhappiness, the sheer dismay in regards to his current predicament, was likely showing on his face.

Adar had leant his hip into the side of the table where he stood next to Celebrimbor, close enough that his cuirass was almost touching the elf’s arm. If they hadn’t been together, perhaps the proximity, the other’s stance, the way he looked down at Celebrimbor with a straight back and a tilted head, would have been intimidating.

As it was, the elf knew it to be concern, and he didn’t make any attempt to hide his failed sketches or the broken graphite as Adar took in both his husband and the work table with quiet, intense eyes.

There was a slight frown to his face for a moment, before that expression smoothed itself out again, as the other seemed to come to a realization, or perhaps a conclusion. He looked at Celebrimbor for a while longer, then turned around and stepped back into the room.

It only took a short moment for him to return, this time carrying a stool, which he placed close to the smith’s own chair.

Adar soon sat down upon it, legs facing away from the table and into the room. He propped the elbow closest to Celebrimbor onto the table’s surface, and then leant over, moving in close enough that their upper thighs were pressed against one another.

His face was open, and it carried a silent request – that Celebrimbor talk to him.

They stared at one another some more before the smith finally lifted his face from his hands and averted his eyes. His words came out haltingly at first.

"I thought I was ready. It would have been...I’d hoped to replicate what I managed to do with Morgoth’s crown, I suppose. I wanted that same feeling of – of doing something worthwhile. Something beneficial. That would not cause harm and misery."

He paused, took a breath, leant back in his chair. Why did he feel so defeated, when the evil that was darkening his thoughts had already been vanquished?

The slump of his frame felt uncharacteristic even to himself. "I know you said I shouldn’t push myself for your sake, and I also know you were right about that. And yet, who but you would deserve to have a ring made for them? It might not have the power of the three, granted. But I wished for yours to have a measure of their beauty, at least."

He felt his face pull into a grimace for a moment, and tilted his head this way and that as he grit his teeth. "He doesn’t deserve to taint this. He’s done far too much to you, to both of us, to also steal this. My joy in creating, and you having a token that shows the whole of Middle-earth what you mean to me. I- it feels like a defeat, that I cannot overcome this hurdle. As if he’s won, in some small way."

He turned towards Adar again, and could feel excess moisture in his eyes before he managed to blink it away, but barely. "Do I make any sense?"

Adar considered him intently, but not for long. He hummed. "Far too much, in fact. Yes."

The elf blinked, and moved forward in his chair as Adar reached out to wrap an arm around his waist. Soon, Adar had pulled himself into Celebrimbor’s side, against his arm and hip, and lifted his own chin over the elf’s shoulder.

He placed a kiss at Celebrimbor’s temple before pressed their faces together, his nose and lips and jaw to the elf’s cheek, his chin on the elf’s shoulder, both staring at the sketches.

Celebrimbor, himself, reached out and held onto the arm Adar had propped onto the desk still. He soon found his hand held in Adar’s as they both applied gentle pressure.

"It honors you, that you would wish to display our bond so openly to the world. In a manner none could misunderstand," Adar said, slowly. "That you wish to claim me like this. Believe me, you have already done so, even without a public display."

The reassurance was like a balm to Celebrimbor’s troubled mind.

Still, Adar continued. "Eventually, you will reclaim this part of yourself as well. I have no doubt about that. You are far too passionate about your craft not to."

"But not today, not here, and not like this. You cannot force a wound to heal. Even if your intentions are noble. And truly appreciated."

The elf hummed in response, and turned his face into Adar’s until their foreheads and noses touched. He let himself lean onto the uruk as he breathed a quiet sigh.

"I suppose you might have a point there," the smith replied and a small, but humorless grin found its way onto his face for the blink of an eye. "I’m sorry, I know you have a lot on your plate right now. And don’t get me wrong, I do not think of our marriage as diminished if we do not wear rings, or if I’m not the one make them for us."

A pause. Being this honest with both Adar and himself was still a novelty, and at times a little painful. "I suspect it’s less my love for you so much as the expectations I have for myself that are making this such a difficult topic for me. I love you, and us, just as you are. Never doubt that."

That was important to him. As much as he still struggled with what had happened during Sauron’s stay in Eregion, he never wanted Adar to feel as if their relationship needed to hold up to some kind of outside notion. The problem was, at least partially, in Celebrimbor’s own head. And not with their marriage.

He could feel Adar smile against his face, and opened his eyes to see the uruk with his own half-open, watching Celebrimbor with an incredibly fond, if sad look.

The elf felt as if his own feelings were directed back at him.

He wanted to further reassure the other, but Adar was faster to speak.

"Let me try something," he asked. The way his expression was changing had the elf perk up quickly; there was a spark in the uruk’s eyes, as if he had gotten a particularly good idea.

Intrigued, Celebrimbor nodded.

Adar leant back from his husband, taking his warmth and his hands with him. The elf, however, was far too curious to mourn their loss.

The uruk grabbed his own belt; he had stopped carrying his large broadsword everywhere he went, but as the smith soon saw, that did not mean he was unarmed. He carried a small knife, made in a similarly improvised manner as most uruk weapons. From what the other had told him, it had been fashioned from the broken-off tip of his sword.

Celebrimbor briefly frowned in response, especially when Adar lifted the knife up and towards his own head. The only thing the other did, however, was to grab a fine, thin strand of his own hair, and then cut it close to the root.

The elf blinked and raised his eyebrows in confusion as he watched Adar put the knife away again and tie a small knot at one end of the strand of hair. Soon, his husband was reaching forward and grabbed a hold of the elf’s hand.

He put the knotted end of the strand in between Celebrimbor’s digits, tucked between thumb and index finger. As he pressed the tips of the two digits together with his own, he sought out the elf’s eyes once more.

"Hold onto this tightly."

Again, Celebrimbor could only nod mutely.

And then watched as Adar sat back, separated the strand into three smaller sections, and began to braid it.

Judging by the speed and the evenness of the braid as it came together, he had done this before. Not even the gauntlet seemed to be a detriment, but rather, the pointed tips helped him separate errand pieces of hair from each other. It was quite fascinating to observe.

"Among the uruk, marriage in the traditional, Eldar sense of the word did not exist for a long time," Adar began as he braided, focused on his task. "Unions between two of my children have only become somewhat common after the first time I managed to defeat Sauron. Under his and Morgoth’s reign, it was just not feasible."

"But my children endured, and developed their own traditions and customs in response. We had no precious metals, but we had other means to show affection and loyalty."

Finally he had finished the braid, and tied another small knot at the end. Gently, he slipped the side that Celebrimbor had held onto from between the elf’s fingers. Though not without brushing his own over his husband’s hand as he did so.

The elf kept his eyes on the finished braid, now utterly captivated, as Adar twisted it around and into itself. Again, this seemed to have been something the other had done before, Celebrimbor could not guess how many times.

His mouth fell open and his eyes widened slightly when, by the end of his motions, Adar was left with a braided ring in his hand. Small, thin, yet intricate. Beautiful. Made with intention, and skill.

Celebrimbor stared at him in what was both surprise and awe, eyebrows raised and mouth still slightly open. The uruk took his husband’s right hand, held it up with his gauntleted one, and used the other to slip the braided ring onto the elf’s finger.

Celebrimbor found his breath stuttering on his next exhale, as his eyebrows knitted briefly and he stared at the little trinket he now wore. It fit perfectly.

A myriad of emotions overcame him then, from astonishment, to wonder, to love. He looked up into Adar’s eyes again, and his face split into a wide smile as he did.

The uruk had looked...not apprehensive, per se, but a little questioning. After seeing Celebrimbor’s reaction, he seemed to be fully at ease once again.

"We usually carry braids or strands of hair, but sometimes turning them into rings is a safer option, to avoid losing it. Perhaps, this might serve as a solution to our conundrum until you have healed enough to attempt making rings again."

Celebrimbor smiled and felt moisture creep into his eyes once more, though this time, for a much more welcome reason. His smile turned lop-sided as he looked down and carefully moved his fingertips over the ring, felt the smoothness of the hair, marveled at how it shone in the color of rust in the sunlight.

"That...that is more than a compromise," he decided, and looked at Adar again. "Or a replacement. I quite like it, and what it represents. As well as the thought of renewing it with you. Thank you, Adar."

He tilted his head to the side a little. "Do you think my hair might be long enough for a braid as well?"

It was Adar’s turn to be stunned for a moment. Soon, a small smile touched his face, and the edges of his eyes crinkled. The uruk grabbed his knife again. "I think I can figure something out. Turn your head a little, so I can find a good strand to cut."

Celebrimbor gladly let Adar touch his jaw and chin to move his head in the direction he desired, smiling all the while.

It took the uruk a bit more time to fumble with the hair for the second braid, but Adar did end up making another ring. When Celebrimbor gingerly took it from him and then slipped it onto Adar’s index finger, it contrasted nicely against the uruk’s skin – and the hair of Celebrimbor’s ring.

Both of them held up their hands next to each other, turning their new tokens about this way and that, watching the light play off of them, the delicate details of the braids. When their eyes found one another once more. They both were smiling.

Yes, Celebrimbor would need more time to fully reclaim all that which he felt he had lost in the last few weeks. But the fact of the matter was, he had also gained something in turn.

He and Adar both had time, now. They’d figure it out together, and forge their own path.

Love Prevails: Saving Your Marriage Against the Odds

Are you listening? No, well that’s a problem.

Everyone is in it when it comes to the wedding day, for the bragging rights, glitz and glamour no problem whatsoever but when some of the worst comes you only hear crickets. You know the for better or worse. Are we truly listening to whose supposed to be the love of your life? Or are you too busy, not interested or don’t really care? 😒😲

In the intricate dance of a marriage, communication is the thread that weaves together the delicate bonds between two individuals. However, the profound impact of not being heard in this sacred partnership cannot be understated. When one's thoughts, desires, and concerns are consistently dismissed or ignored, the foundation of trust begins to erode. The feeling of not being heard engenders feelings of isolation, frustration, and resentment, creating a chasm that grows between spouses. 🧐

Okay so it’s a problem, that can be fixed ; how?🤔

The absence of effective communication breeds a sense of isolation, as thoughts and feelings remain unexpressed, thereby squandering the opportunity for growth and understanding. However, fixing this impact requires a concerted effort from both partners. It necessitates a willingness to foster an environment of active listening, empathy, and open dialogue. By acknowledging and validating each other's perspectives, couples can rebuild the broken lines of communication, rekindling trust and fostering a deeper connection. This process involves cultivating patience, vulnerability, and a commitment to change, allowing both partners to feel seen, heard, and ultimately, valued within the sacred union of marriage.

Save marriage, it’s already a war against the concept of it. Marriage is truly valuable. In these moments of vulnerability, we discover the immense power of love in healing wounds, reigniting passion, and restoring our happiness. Our ability to communicate honestly and compassionately is the lifeline of marriage.💍🤵🏾‍♂️👰🏽‍♀️💒

However, it's not uncommon for couples to face challenges and conflicts along the way. This article aims to provide you with effective strategies and solutions to overcome husband-wife relationship problems and nurture a strong and loving bond.

Communication is Key:

Open and honest communication serves as the foundation of a successful relationship. It is essential to create a safe and non-judgmental space where both partners can express their thoughts and feelings. Active listening, empathy, and mutual respect are vital components of effective communication. Regularly engage in meaningful conversations to address concerns, share aspirations, and understand each other's perspectives.

Prioritize Quality Time:

Amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's crucial to prioritize quality time together. Set aside dedicated moments for shared activities, such as date nights, weekend getaways, or even simple walks in the park. Fostering a sense of togetherness and creating lasting memories can help strengthen the emotional bond between you and your spouse.

Nurture Emotional Intimacy:

Emotional intimacy is the glue that holds a relationship together. It involves being vulnerable, expressing love and affection, and supporting each other through both triumphs and challenges. Make a conscious effort to understand your partner's emotional needs and provide them with the support and reassurance they require. Regularly express love, appreciation, and gratitude to deepen your emotional connection.

Respect Individuality and Boundaries:

Each partner in a relationship has their unique needs, aspirations, and boundaries. Respecting each other's individuality is crucial for a healthy and balanced relationship. Encourage personal growth and provide space for pursuing individual interests. Set clear boundaries and communicate them effectively, ensuring that both partners feel valued and respected.

Address Conflict Constructively:

Conflict is a natural part of any relationship, but how you handle it determines its impact on your bond. Instead of avoiding or escalating conflicts, approach them constructively. Use "I" statements to express your feelings and needs, focusing on the issue at hand rather than attacking your partner. Practice active problem-solving, seeking compromises and win-win solutions. Consider seeking professional help, such as couples therapy, if you find it challenging to resolve conflicts on your own.

Build Trust and Honesty:

Trust and honesty are the pillars of a strong marital relationship. Be transparent with each other, avoid secrets, and foster an environment of trust and reliability. Follow through on commitments and be accountable for your actions. Trust is earned through consistent behavior over time, so make trust-building a priority.

Seek Support When Needed:

Sometimes, resolving relationship problems may require external support. Don't hesitate to seek guidance from trusted friends, family members, or professional counselors. Marriage or couples therapy can provide valuable insights and tools to navigate challenges effectively. Remember, asking for help is a sign of strength, and seeking support can lead to significant breakthroughs in your relationship.

Conclusion:

Every relationship has its ups and downs, but with dedication, effort, and the right strategies, you can overcome husband-wife relationship problems and cultivate a deep and fulfilling connection. By focusing on effective communication, quality time, emotional intimacy, respect, conflict resolution, trust, and seeking support when needed, you can create a strong foundation for a lifelong partnership filled with love, understanding, and mutual growth.
