HubMob Weekly Topic: Marriage

1. 81

   Princessaposted 14 years ago

   
   
   
   
   Welcome to a new week and to a new topic HubMobsters.  Last week we managed to do 29 hubmob hubs on women's health, which means that we did 4 more than the previous week for the men's health hubmob.  Well done HubMobsters, a big hubbery hug to all of you. 
   
   Special mention to the 4 most prolific HubMobsters last week:   
   
   RedElf with an amazing 6 entries, kerryg, anath and simple Tim  each of them with 3 hubmob hubs to their name. 
   
   This week we are going to write about marriage, whether to encourage or discourage our HubMob creator Ryan Hupfer who is tying the knot in a few weeks, this is the time to give Hup a few tips for a happy ever after.
   
   Some ideas for a hub on marriage can be:  
   
   Anniversaries
   Arranged Marriages
   Bridging Two Cultures
   Children, First Child
   Compromise
   Dating Your Spouse
   Green Cards & Visas for foreign brides/grooms
   Happy Marriage
   Intimacy & Romance
   Mail Order Brides
   Marriage Counselling
   Newlyweds
   Prenuptial Agreements
   Second Marriage
   Staying Best Friends
   Unconventional Marriages
   
   To join this week's HubMob please follow the steps below:
   
   1. CLICK THIS LINK and answer the Request.
   
   2. Choose a relevant title for your HubMob to get a good ranking in the search engines, make your title relevant to your hub content and AVOID starting your title with "Weekly HubMob"
   
   3. Change the category for your hub according to your content.
   
   4. Include the HubMob RSS Feed in your hub: http://hubpages.com/request/17739/?new
   
   5. Add the HubMob graphic to your hub so that everyone who reads it will know that it is part of the official HubMob topic of the week.  
   You can also add the HubChallenge graphic to your hub and create a hubmob/hubchallenge hub. 
   
   6. After you publish your HubMob Hub, come back to the forum and post a link to your hub with a brief description of what you wrote about and why.  Take advantage of the free publicity!
   
   7. Keep track of your Hub and keep us updated on any traffic that you're getting and
   have fun writing your HubMob Hub
   
   
   For those who are still not sure about what is a HubMob and the benefits of taking part in one I created this guide http://hubpages.com/hub/What-is-a-HubMo … o-join-one , please feel free to come up with any questions if you have any doubts left.

      First time I've ever answered a HubMob request! I have always love Jane Austen's books, and thought I'd write about what we can learn from the marriages in her book, which she has portrayed with wit and insight into human character. I hope it's okay to post this link here! I didn't see anywhere else to put it. Thanks!

   I completely missed out on last week's HubMob due to a LOT of family issues (head lice, chicken pox, had to switch pediatricians, broken TV & computer...) but I am looking forward to participating this week.  I am fast approaching my one year wedding anniversary so I hope I can contribute something useful : )

    This is my first hubmob entry and what a great topic to start with.  My hub is at:
    
    http://hubpages.com/hub/Stay-At-Home-Mother
    
    I am a father of two with one on the way.  My wife is a stay-at-home mother and an amazing woman.  It took us both several months to understand what a stay-at-home mother really meant and what was needed in our marriage to strengthen her desire and survive the stress.  This hub looks at what I have learned as a husband over the last three years.  Hopefully it will help others.
