  1. Why Complicate Your Life?

    Pam and I have a relationship where I'm an external person (I much prefer to talk) and she's an internal thinker (she prefers to mull things over in her head first).

    Both are fine but it raises the question or maybe questions as to how best to communicate. And let me tell you, this scenario has caused some conflict in working out disagreements.

    Long distance relationships can be very challenging, especially if you’re thousands of miles apart.

    It’s hard to maintain a good relationship when the other person is away from you. When you go to college, making a long distance relationship work can be tough. So here are some useful tips on how to make your relationship successful:

  3. My Favourite Relationship Quotes

    Maybe our favorite quotations say more about us than about the stories and people we're quoting. ~John Green

    Great quote and especially so when you apply it to yourself and your relationships. I've been gathering quotes I relate to, for a while now. It's even more interesting for me as I also attach experience to the quote, as a form of reinforcement.

    Thought I'd share a few with you as I'd love to hear a few of your own, if you have a spare minute of two. Let me know what you think too.

    The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose

    The Parenting Adventure

    Becoming a parent is one of the most exciting adventures any human can embark on. Most of us have roughly nine months to prepare for life with a baby – to think about how we will organize our lives, and what kind of parent we want to be. Yet, many couples still struggle making the big transition, and especially wonder how to give new meaning to their role as a partner, as well as a parent.

    Life with a newborn can be both predictable – feed, sleep, poo, bath – and overwhelming. While you are settling into a routine with your baby and getting to know her, you won’t just have no time as a couple, but you may even fight over household tasks, who does night-time parenting, and mundane things like that.

     

  5. Try Empathy In Communication

    For all the women reading this, hands up all those that don't get enough empathy, in a relationship, from their men?

    I know my wife will be raising her hand. And you know why? Because I'm built to help and the by-product of that is always looking for a solution. Hey, what can I say, that's who I am.

    And it was a great reminder for me when she told me 'If I wanted a solution, I'd ask for one'. OK, my mind was recalling the same thing I've heard a number of times before. Women are highly conversant when it comes to comforting. This comes into play when speaking to other women and I just plain slipped my memory.

    So the solution since I'm a guy

  6. Why Women Are Obsolete

    Well, I’m writing this one in response to the post on Why Men Are Obsolete. From my point of view, it’s women who might soon become obsolete and here’s my reasoning.

    Where's the relationship starting to go wrong?

    As far as I can see, we girls have crawled from under the heels of a dominating male influence that’s been in power for eons. Yes, we’ve been subservient since the dawn of ‘man’. Back in those days, I’d agree it was probably due to the males’ strong and larger, more powerful body and endurance.

    The human race needed to evolve and roles within the the community and family unit dictated survival. Thus led to women needing to be nurturers of children for the welfare as well as the continuity of the human species.

  7. Dating Tips for Ladies Frustrated With Meeting Mr Wrong

    Okay so let’s face it, being a single lady has tons of perks right?

    Buying shoes we know we can’t afford without being lectured, watching “girl movies,” without someone begging to watch “the big game” instead and staying out all night with no one to answer to can really be liberating, but after a little while even the most independent woman craves a little male companionship.

    If you’re like many single, successful and fabulous women (which I’m sure you are!) about a year or more into your singleness, you may start experiencing the are-all-the-good-guys-really-taken-syndrome. While it does seem difficult to find “Mr. Right,” you just need to stop giving the many “Mr. Wrongs” out there any of your time. Here are 3 things that should make you want to turn and run, not walk, RUN away from these men.

  8. Are Men Becoming Obsolete?

    The wave of women's liberation and the role of men and fathering in society is leading males along the path to becoming obsolete - and here's why I think so.

    The Fall Of Man In Relationships

    Without question, the male role in historic society has been one a leadership as well as headship.

    Maybe fuelled by testosterone from our early cavemen days where males were the largest of the human species and therefore the hunters of beasts.
