When Being Independent Goes Wrong

I’m a huge fan of independence and standing up for what you this is best for you. Making decisions about your life based on what you think is best and not always giving in to your partner is the way to go. Having said that, when you enter a serious relationship, or even marriage, the decisions you make will now have an effect on the other person’s life as well.

Love Rules For The Ladies

As with a lot of traditions, marriage is also being viewed through new eyes.

Outdated Dating Rules

Back in the Stone Age (okay, not that long ago, but you know what I mean!), dating was a fairly systematic thing. There was no internet, let alone internet dating, and dating rules were there to be agonized over. Many a man and woman spent countless hours wringing their hands in frustration lest they lose at the dating game.

Hold On To The Fun In Your Relationship

No matter how wonderful things are when you begin a relationship, it’s inevitable that a relationship will, over time, lose some of its newness and its sparkle. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that it has to lose all of its fun.
