A problem in marriage today is when a married man has not yet severed the umbilical cord with his mother. The man who puts his mommy first, before his wife, will have a terrible marriage. This kind of a guy does not understand what his position is as a husband because he is still living as a little boy. If a “mommies boy” marries the type of woman who wants a husband instead of a son for a marriage partner, there will be incompatibility problems. Some wives’ don’t mind mothering their husbands but many women want a man who is in control of his life and knows what he wants.

It is quite common for couples to get married because they have a baby on the way or because they want kids and historically it was common practice to have children soon after marriage. Unfortunately this kind of marriage scenario can lead to common marriage problems either early on in the relationship or once the children have grown up.

When you were dating you carved out time for each other, no matter the pressures of everyday life. You could not fall in love without that time together. This begs the question; don’t you think to sustain that love that you must also make time for one another even now?

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.

I have recently encountered the words 'Cougar Women' - a term dreamt up by some male or possibly jealous young female to describe an older woman engaged in a relationship with a younger man. The description 'Cougar Woman' infers a predatory mature woman (35-50+) who hunts, stalks, lusts after and imposes her attentions upon some innocent, inexperienced young male. The traditional description for the older male who does likewise is, 'Sugar Daddy' -- Would it not be appropriate, in light of today's touted 'equality of the sexes' to apply the description of Panther Daddy? Or, where the male is a cheating spouse, then perhaps 'Cheetah Daddy' may fit the bill?

Reduced prices on drinks and free hors d'oevres quickly filled up tables that formerly sat empty during the late afternoon doldrums.But the food and drinks are only window dressing for the real pull of happy hour - the chance to unwind from the day,put work behind us, and slowly and comfortably ease back into the world outside our daily grind. Rather than spend this time with work associates, create your own wind-down celebration at home.
