Q. There has to be some way around the continuing battle in our marriage. Both my wife and I like to do things our own way and have things our own way, and so we fight for our own way. Doing it all my way does not work; doing it all her way does not work. This thing is tearing us apart. Can you recommend some way to help us?
A. Are you familiar with the three rings of marriage?
They are the engagement ring, the wedding ring, and the suffer-ring.
A great …

Recent events in my life have taught me that the best thing to do in any situation is just to love people. How can I be a better friend, a better Son, Brother or Sister,etc. So often we go through life and we don’t really take the time to just simply love people.
For example I hop on a bus, I’ve got all this time to take interest in other people, en yet I just sit to myself, and pass the time, just wondering what others are up to. Most likely …

How far can you afford to bend your values to preserve your relationship? How far can you go in giving yourself up to avoid losing your partner? How much of yourself can you afford to sacrifice to not lose someone you love? How do we find the balance between maintaining our integrity and bending our values?
Most relationships require us to bend to a certain extent, but how much can we bend without a sense of loss of self?
There is an inherent paradox in these questions: A truly loving relationship is …

Often times when a couple gets married, things get pushed off, or ignored. Earlier in the marriage, the sight-seeing, honeymoon feeling, and those fancy restaurant dates tend to decline. Why do they decline? It’s not because your love for one another has become less, remember that. Your spouse may be getting tied with his work, cramming to meet deadlines, or being bossed around too much like the underdog. Maybe things are just not settling smoothly, and sometimes it feels great, sometimes normal, and sometimes crappy.
Several hardships can be waded through, …

You’ve been dating the man forever, and he has yet to cough up a ring. You spend every single weekend with him. You endure his flatulent buddies from college. You put up with his lunatic mother. You alternate spending holidays with his family and yours, spending handsome sums on gifts for his nieces and nephews. You cook for him. You’ve baked him birthday cakes. Occasionally you even do his laundry.
Should you give him an ultimatum? Doesn’t he owe it to you to marry you after all you’ve done for him?
No.

Disaster results when we see women trying to change a man’s behaviour. According to evolutionary biologist Rosie Mestel, what women perceive as bad male behaviour (lying, cheating, ogling other women) is actually part of a biologically based prime directive to procreate as fast as possible. All the poorconfused thing is doing is behaving “naturally”: trying to solve the age-old problem of passing on his genes before he croaks.
Therefore I ask you women out there –would you put a bird in a stream and expect it to fly? Perhaps that’s why …

How do you show someone you love them? Do you buy them expensive gifts? Spend quality time together? Make personal sacrifices just to see them smile? Dedicate a song to them? Write a love letter or note of encouragement? Become their cheerleader? Those are wonderful things to do but my question goes deeper then those types of activities, even beyond your romantic partner. Think about your parents, your children, your best friend, your sister, or your brother… anyone you love. How do you really show them that you love them? …

Why do people have affairs? Why not do the ’right’ thing and leave a marriage first if one is inclined to step out of it? The reasons are as varied as the people involved. Public perception of infidelity is someone with a sexual overdrive and their pants around their ankles, and while that may be true in some cases, it’s not as common a reason as one would think. The following are just a few of the reasons for staying in a marriage and having extracurricular activities.

This is an amazing story. It’s about my friend Robert. Robert is one of those really charismatic people. You know the kind I mean. Wherever he goes, people are just drawn to him, its truly a sight to behold.
At dinner the other night, Robert’s charm drew the waiters in and they conversed with him a great deal. However, when I spoke up, the waiters didn’t seem to pay much attention. They may have even been a little dismissive. It was as if the only person at the table was Robert. …

What would I do without my wife? Not much. What would I do without my best friend? Even less.
The story begins a long time ago. I kick myself for not remembering the exact day, but it doesn’t really matter. It was back when I was about 22 or 23, or so. I started working at this gas station near my home in New Jersey. This happened to be the place where I would meet a few key people that would help to change my life. At the time they …

A revelation came to me at the most unsuspecting time. During one of the most mundane things I do in my structured and routine lifestyle, while reading my redeye on my daily commute home from the city. A seemingly average man sat next to me on the train and asked if this was the train to Lemont.
I assured him it was and went back to my business. He was of acceptable appearance in my opinion, and honestly resembled most of my ex’s, trouble I know, so I continued with my …

1. Who are the prime candidates to rekindle a romance?
The most successful rekindled romances were lost lovers who had been 17 or younger at the time of the initial romance — first loves — and had separated for situational reasons, like “parents disapproved,” “moved away.” “went off to college,” etc. Age of the couples didn’t matter — if they were 18 or 95, the romance worked the second time. In fact, the older they were for the reunion, the better their chances of success.

Flowers have been given a special significance for centuries. They have long been treasured for their scent and their beauty. Perhaps nobody has esteemed flowers, however, as highly as the people of the Victorian age. For them, flowers were so important they even used them to convey secret messages. Using flowers, gentlemen and ladies became more courageous in expressing their feelings. As the English poet Thomas Hood so eloquently stated, “Sweet flowers alone can say what passion fears revealing.”
Here are some special flowers and the sentiments assigned to them in …
