And I stopped and thought about how these traditions come and stay. About how generations of children have celebrated religious heritages with bar/bat mitzvahs and christenings and baptism parties; about how American girls have Sweet Sixteen’s and how Latin girls have Quince’s. About weddings. And how these events occur just once in a lifetime. Once or twice in a family.

These are the things women should know to look for, to know whether they've found the right man. A man's perspective can really help.

A past is a past, forget it and move forward. We are so much gripped in our past that we create a fence around us not letting somebody enter in our heart. Let this not happen. Let loose your past and feel like a free bird to fly into a new horizon. Get out of that depressed mood and experience the different phases of life. There is always much to be done in life. You just have to look around. There is a lot of work that requires your helping hand and a lot of other people who need you.

When the lovin' has turned to cussin' it's time to take out the Big Secret... change...

I am no expert at love. The very word makes me nauseous and sets my body to a defensive mode. But I have had my heart broken once or twice. Badly. By some pathetic loser by the way. Lucky for me, I'm a quick learner. I made ridiculous mistakes of cosmic proportions and learnt a thing or two.

Adjectives are a part of speech and a speech apart. What we say has everything to do with who we are, how we act, and how we are perceived.

We grow in love and in relationships through our mistakes. We do not grow in isolation or in theory.

The vehemence of your feelings towards a partner who has let you down does not necessarily mean relationship is over. The opposite of love is not hate but indifference.

Love is the most universally sought, most profoundly cherished, the most humanly persued element in the universe. Yet, it is the most abused, misunderstood, undervalued commodity in all of human existence. Why? We are stupid. How do we deal with this? Here are 22 suggestions that will turn the tide in your life and the lives of anyone who chooses to read and follow them.

We need to understand that, unlike us, a man is a sum of his parts; it is the components that make the whole. By that I mean that, all the various parts of his life can be split off from each other, just like a book shelf.

A great relationship requires intimate moments. And those moments need your full attention and compassion. If something else is engrossing your mind, then your spouse will not get the attention they deserve. Your spouse deserves to be treated with kindness and forgiveness everyday, not just when you feel like it.

The speed of life is complex, exciting and wonderful, but if this is at the cost of love, then the ego has won and love has lost. In our modern world this ego can easily overtake love so we must learn to stop, really stop and be still with our beloved, to turn up. So learning the art of stillness is a major key to sustaining sacred relationships amongst this busy-ness.

You submit a letter for your intended in email format, written in your native language. That email is translated into Russian by the agency and sent to your intended by registered mail.

Letting go can feel like jumping out of a plane without a parachute. The relationship may have ended weeks or months or years ago, yet you can't get him or her out of your mind. We want to deny the relationship has ended. Letting go allows you to close one chapter of your life and to be able to start a new one with a clean page.

What did I do to deserve this? I'm a good person I don't go out and try to hurt anybody on purpose. Why Does He Hurt Me?

Believe it or not beneath the confident, silent exterior of a guy, lies a feeling or two. Ladies, we understand, are more verbal than men, and relationship experts tell us - as if it's big news - that the feminine of the genders has a need to hear words of affection. Expressions of love and frequent compliments for their beauty and character strengthen relationships with their sweethearts and build a healthy self-image.

Women are not unapproachable. Learning how to read the signs that women carry around makes it easier to make that first step. Because women are only people too.
