Family

Wives, Your Husband Will Feel You Appreciate His Desire To Protect And Provide When . . .

by Peter Doyle Wedding Photographer on August 20, 2010

FROM Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs on page 213,214

you verbalize your admiration of him for protecting you and being willing to die for you
you praise his commitment to provide for and protect you and the family (he needs to know you don’t take this for granted.)
you empathize when he reveals his male mind-set about position, status, rank, or being one-up or one-down, particularly at work
you never mock the idea of “looking down on you”
you never, in word or body language, put down his job or how much he makes
you are always ready to figuratively “light the candles,” as E.V. Hill’s wife did when they couldn’t afford to pay the light bill
you quietly and respectfully voice concerns about finances and try to offer solutions on where you might be able to cut spending

Husbands, Your Wife Feels You Are Open To Her When . . .

by Peter Doyle Wedding Photographer on August 12, 2010

FROM Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs on page 144

you share your feelings, telling about your day and difficulties
you say, “Let’s talk,” ask her what she’s feeling, and ask for her opinions
your face shows you want to talk – relaxed body language, good eye contact
you take her for a walk to talk and reminisce about how you met or perhaps you talk about the kids and problems she may be having with them
you pray with her
you give her your full attention . . . no grunting responses while trying to watch TV, read the newspaper, or write e-mails
you discuss financial concerns, possible hob changes, or ideas for your future

How A Wife Can Show Love To Her Husband

by Peter Doyle Wedding Photographer on August 11, 2010

FROM Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs on page 203

you tell him verbally or in writing that you value his work efforts
you express your faith in him related to his chosen field
you listen to his work stories as closely as you expect him to listen to your accounts of what happens in the family
you see yourself as his helpmate and counterpart and talk with him about this whenever possible
you allow him to dream as you did when you were courting
you don’t dishonor or subtly criticize his work “in the field” to get him to show more love “in the family”

How A Husband Can Show Love To His Wife (Part 1)

by Peter Doyle Wedding Photographer on August 10, 2010

FROM Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs on page 133

you hold her hand
you hug her
you are affectionate without sexual intentions
you are with her alone so you can focus on each other and laugh together
you go for a walk or jog . . . anything that results in togetherness
you seek her out . . . set yp a date night . . . eat by candlelight
you go out of your way to do something for her, like run an errand
you make it a priority to spend time with her
you are aware of her as a person with a mind and opinions . . . let her know you enjoy discussing things with her and getting her insights
you suggest the unexpected . . . het takeout and eat on the beach . . . take a walk to see the full moon . . . park on the bluff and watch the sunset
you pillow talk after making love . . . lie close with your arm around her and share feelings and intimate ideas . . . and never turn on SportsCenter or Nightline.

Scheherazade by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov Performed By The Moscow Symphony

by Peter Doyle Wedding Photographer on July 13, 2010

As some of you may know I went to UNC-G on a music scholarship with my principle instrument being percussion. Well, one of the best semesters was when I played Scheherazade in the orchestra. Rimsky-Korsakov must not have been a percussionist because I think his rule was, when in doubt, double it. I didn’t play the ballet but I thought it would be good to let you see what it looked like. To get the full story of Scheherazade click here

Hi
I opened the screen door yesterday and my cat got out and has been missing since then so I was wondering if you are not to busy you could make a poster for me. It has to be A4 and I will photocopy it and put it around my suburb this afternoon.

This is the only photo of her I have she answers to the name Missy and is black and white and about 8 months old. missing on Harper street and my phone number.
Thanks Shan.

That is shocking news.
Although I have two clients expecting completed work this afternoon, I will, of course, drop everything and do whatever it takes to facilitate the speedy return of Missy.

Fighting With Oreo

by Peter Doyle Wedding Photographer on June 7, 2010

While I was in California a few weeks back I took a few minutes to play fight with my brother’s dog, Oreo. Oreo loves to play fight and loves to “bite” arms and hands but has never once bit too hard. I grew up watching my dad wrestle with our dogs so it’s something I do today. For those dog lovers who like to wrestle here’s one for you.
