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.

Cuddling is an essential part of love. It keeps the freshness of love. Cuddle each other whenever together. When your mate is in bed reading a book, sitting on a couch watching a movie just get close to and say you want to cuddle. Just hold hands while watching a movie or just rest over the shoulder of your partner when he or she is reading. Cuddle each other in whatever way you can. It is just another way of saying that you care and love your partner.

Some in-laws like to give out a lot of unasked for advice. They may tell you how to cook, what to wear, how to discipline the kids, How to budget your finances, etc. They may treat you as if you are still a child and don’t know any better. In-laws are older than us, but that does not necessarily mean they are wiser. Be respectful at all times, and take what you want and throw the rest out.

A touch heals the sick faster. This healing factor of the touch surpasses are anticipation when it comes to relationship. A touch is a must in a relationship. It heals the wounds in a relationship than words. The language of touch is understood by all the young, the old, the deaf and the dumb, even the animals. It is a powerful expression of love that bonds the relationship tightly.

All emotion is only half the truth, an illusion; a complete lie. Life is balanced, we distort it by projecting out opinion onto it. We interpret it with our ego and spin it left or right and therefore emotionalise it. By emotionalising things, we can make it safe. And from a love aspect, then we see where we are – out of integrity – and could bring our ego back to balance, if we chose to.

We give them to our children. We give them to your friends and family; we give them to our pets. Heck, we even give them to strangers. Let’s encourage, admire, and appreciate our men and they will do whatever we wish.

Men hate shopping. They hate hop-shopping even more. We take hours to decide on simple things and they lose their patience, get tired and bored. This may be an exhilarating activity for women, but it is too draining for men.

Has the passion gone out of your relationship? Is it bordering on being boring and mundane? Fix it simply now.

There has been a lot of buzz about 'Live in relationships' these days, thanks to the recent movies but, there are still many questions about it which are left unasked. Are people actually living-in? What about the societal and parental pressures? What if it doesn't workout? Here is what we find out-

The real problem with bad relationships is not that we have them because, unfortunately, most people do. The real problem of bad relationships is the amount of time we remain in the relationship when we knew long ago that we should have left and the continuing amount of time we allow ourselves to be emotionally in prison for something that was not worthwhile to begin with. This is not isolated to just women or just men. If it is isolated to any specific group, it is human beings. We all deal with the same things, although at the time we feel like we are the only person in the world to feel the type of pain and emptiness that we feel. There are endless number of tips and techniques that people offer in dealing getting over relationships and I am sure there is a time and a place for them all. There is no one thing that will make it any easier, so I would say understanding that is the first step. Although there is not one quick and easy fix, there are things that I think work better than others.

Presents will never make up for the lack of presence.

It’s so tempting to take things easy once the ring is on your finger. So many of us decide that the hard work is done and that going forward a marriage doesn’t require any effort. One of the most common marriage problems is to just take a back seat, let life pass you by and assume that married life is for every no matter how little effort you make.

Most marriages that are troubled have these giver and receiver roles firmly fixed. In marriages that are happy, these roles will fluctuate between the partners regularly, depending on where the need is greatest. Where does most of your energy go during a normal day?

One of the main reasons that both men and women want to get into a relationship is a fear of being alone. Yet, any relationship that is based on fear is destined to be a very unhappy and unfulfilling relationship. Until you can learn to enjoy your own company you will constantly find yourself getting into relationships that are or end up based on fear.

If you are looking to correspond with a prison pen pal there are a number of websites that will help you. These websites will give you databases that list prisoners by gender, location and where the inmates are from.

There are incidents in our life where we have to disclose some news or have to say something to people close to us...known to us where we are aware that it may hurt them. For Example read the following: 1) You have to tell your sub-ordinate that he is sacked or he has to resign. 2) All in your team got increments and promotions, except two people...disclose this news to them. 3) You father is serious and he is in hospital...sharing this news with your sibling. 4) Your daughter has appeared for “Chartered Accountant Exams” but failed...now share it with her. 5) Giving “honest” feedback to your spouses...about their looks. 6) Giving “honest” comment to your friends about their behavior and habit.

Men and women have different roles in the society. Both the sexes also have different choices. Talking about gender equality cannot ignore the biological differences. Gender equality does not mean that women and men like or dislike same things or have similar aspiration or behavior.

As I get older, I am starting to realise that it is difficult to keep a woman happy in the bedroom. These are a few thoughts that may be worth considering.

How much space do you give to your partner/spouse? Or you are one of those who have advice on everything and who want to be with their partner at all times. Meeting your friends? Let me come with you. Going for shopping? I will also come. Going for a walk? Let me join you?

Every moment our brains are at work generating thoughts at an incredible rate of speed. What we think makes or breaks our experiences and relationships. We can fill our heads instructively rather than destructively by being more conscious and selective.

I've talked to many men who claim that being a nice guy just doesn't work with women. In my opinion, there is a little bit of truth in this. The reason why that type of man is so appealing to women may not be so obvious though.
