Call me a cynic, but I don’t plan on marrying the love of my life. While it would be a nice bonus to have in my relationship, I’m not naive enough to believe that’s the only thing that matters when it comes to Here’s why I’m freeing myself from the myths of what makes a happy marriage and why you should too. Love can’t sustain a marriage.  Unconditional love does not mean your relationship is set in stone. You can love someone with your whole self and still know that you can’t be with them. In order to have a successful marriage, you need a foundation made of common values, goals, and a commitment to work through problems as they arise. Love will make you feel close to a person, but it won’t keep you close to them when times get rough. Love does not equal happiness.  When you fall for someone who either doesn’t love you back or can’t love you in the way you need to be loved, it hurts. Just because someone is the love of your life does not mean they will make you happier than anyone els

It’s a very common belief that men aren’t very good at expressing themselves, especially when it comes to love. Frequently saying ‘I love you’ out loud is a habit they definitely don’t possess, unlike most women. However, their actions mean a lot when it comes to expressing feelings of love. It can be how they support their partners or turn up to doorsteps with their partner’s favourite flower bouquet in hand. It’s all in the little things. Here are some ways how men say ‘I love you’ without saying anything at all. 1. When he puts a blanket over you when you are asleep. This is a very comforting gesture as being cared for when sleeping induces a sense of calm and security. 2. When he buys you things you love. This may sound materialistic but generally, men think that gifting their lady love her favourite pair of diamond earrings will get her happy. It’s a bonus point when men notice things women like, out of the blue. 3. When he texts you often. Texting definitely reminds a person how

Are you having a hard time dating? Do you you’re yourself frustrated by your man to no end? Or are you having a hard time in love? Relationship advice for women can often be misleading, but here are some solid tips that will get you the love life of your dreams. 1. Keep it light Playfulness is the one thing that holds a happy relationship together more than anything else. Just because you’re past your childhood doesn’t mean you should act all grown up all the time! Tickle, joke, and tease. These things are small but make a big difference in relationships. 2. Get along with his friends You might not like all your man’s friends but that doesn’t mean you should be mean to them. Men easily influence each other. If his friends like you and think he’s a good match, he’ll be even more into you. Getting along with them the relaxes him and gives him even more reason to be happy with you. 3. Be romantic Some men don’t know how to be chivalry, or romantic so it’s your place to show him how to tre

When a smart woman looks in the mirror, she sees the reflection of a strong person with purpose who knows what she wants. Being intelligent and resourceful are amazing traits to have, but to some, this can be intimidating and maybe a bit scary. Perhaps that's why smart people have a harder time finding love. If you're a smart person wondering why you're still single, here are five reasons you may be having trouble finding love.   1. You're analytical. There's more to a partner than s3x organs that go well together, and smart people are all too aware of the fact. They often analyze the crap out of their dates. They wonder about their future, the best way to cultivate romance, and are obsessed with finding the right person. This isn't exactly a bad thing.   2. You know it's better to be alone than with the wrong partner. And there's no shame in that either. Smart people are so dead set on finding the right partner that they'll abstain all together if n

Gentlemen, you may think that what women want in a man may be the biggest secret in the universe, but when it comes to dating and relationships, most men and women expect and want the same things from their romantic partners. So what kind of a man does a woman want? While it may depend on the woman's specific personality traits, there's no doubt that these qualities can lead to a strong, happy relationship.   5 Things Women Want In A Man   1. Women want men who are confident. This one seems like a no brainer, but you’d be surprised at how many men lose their cool and confident demeanor while interacting with women. Women want a confident man, someone who can hold a conversation, and keep them interested. Women want you to feel comfortable with who you are as a person and not become overbearing.   2. Women want chemistry. Has a woman ever turned you down because you lacked chemistry? This is something you need to consider with utmost importance. Women like a man because of attra

Living together is the ultimate test of commitment in one's life. When two people start sharing a space, many new challenges come up that need to be dealt with wisely. Of course, there are situations where you want to barge out of place, but so does your partner. Moving in together may seem very exciting, but there are few ways to make the time worthwhile. 1.Get to know each other's goals for the relationship Most of us think that moving in is the "ultimate" step; only marriage follows after that. However, sometimes people don't think of future commitments. Few people believe in living life day by day, without any consideration of future obligations. You might be thinking of your grand entry on your wedding day, while your partner may be thinking of what to have for dinner tonight. It is essential to be on the same page from the start of the relationship and after living together. 2.Stay together before living together Staying together initially before moving in c

As Charlize Theron opens up about her experience on the set of Mad Mad: Fury Road and working with Tom Hardy, we thought this was a good opportunity to look back at the very beginning of Theron’s Hollywood career. Theron may be reflecting back on one of her most iconic roles of all time, but we’re more interested in seeing her before she became a household name. Her sense of style on the red carpet has undergone a drastic change, but her face has shockingly remained almost the exact same in the last 20 years.  Charlize Theron’s Amazing Transformation With such a long career, it’s no surprise that Charlize Theron has changed up her appearance over the years. Though the South African-born actress is generally more recognizable as a blonde, she’s also experimented with darker hair colors that bring a new dimension to her face. When she inevitably returns to her blonde roots, Theron embodies the classic Hollywood bombshell. That ever-enduring aesthetic is clearly visible in Theron’s red ca

Learning what your partner is into in bed can really transform your sexual experience, but people don’t always volunteer this information on their own. If you deep dive into your lover’s pleasure points, turn-offs, kinky fantasies, and what gets them all heated up, you have to be willing to communicate and draw those answers out of them. Whether you’re in a new relationship that’s starting to sizzle or you’ve been undressing each other for a while, here are some sexy questions that can help you get to know your man more intimately. What are your favorite positions?  This is the most basic of the sexual questions to ask a guy but it’s also one of the most important. The sexual styles a guy prefers can reveal a lot about him. If he likes doggy, he’s probably obsessed with butts and likes being able to admire the curve of your body while your world gets rocked. A missionary-loving guy is either a little inexperienced, not much for experimenting in bed, or he likes the intimacy it brings.

There are lots of things that determine how successful a first date is, but the main criteria to consider is timing. Yes, the connection is important, but the length of time you spend with a person is a great indicator of how comfortable you feel in their presence. You can’t fake that. And, beyond that, there are other things to think about like your gut feeling about a place but don’t get hung up on the details. Focus on what’s important to you and establish what you value. But, there are some ways of defining how long a first date I’ll get into later on. It’s also key to note that the personnel involved determines how impressive or otherwise the length of a first date is.

High sexual drive is not uncommon and sometimes people are embarrassed to admit this to themselves too. But one does not have to be ashamed and infact try to undertand the science behind to feel a little calm about it. While generally couples start putting the pressure on their partnet to satify their increased needs, they must actually discuss the situation and reason behind. But for that you need to understand your body first! 1.Changing hormones The sex hormones in our body i.e estrogen, testosterone and progesterone may vary at different time periods in our life. Our body experiences tiny changes in our hormones even in a day that may rise up and down. For example, in women, the estrogen levels fluctuate during ovulation causing a very high sex drive. High testosterone levels in men mean higher libido. 2.Going through puberty or ageing Children going through puberty experience a higher sex drive. As all hormones are going through an immense change, the estrogen and testosterone lev

Mark Wahlberg is a famed actor in his own right, but recently, the New York Post reported that he had one pitch that he really wanted to see through. Unfortunately, it was a failure from the start.  When Wahlberg concluded his work on “The Departed,” he went on to other projects, but the movie never left his imagination. Eventually, an idea for a sequel — effectively named “The Departed 2” — was in the works. Wahlberg tapped screenwriter William Monahan to write for the sequel and left it at that. “He’s the kind of guy you just trust to go and write something. And so when we were working on the script for ‘Cocaine Cowboys’ and ‘American Desperado,’ I said, ‘Bill, just go write.’ Warner Bros. likes to have things well-thought out and planned.” That tactic didn’t turn out so well for the seasoned actor, according to Esquire. “Let’s just say the pitch didn’t go very well,” the Boston native said with a laugh. “Bill didn’t really have anything fleshed out.” It was a serious letdown for Wah

Do you want to appear more desirable and sexy in your man’s eyes, and jumpstart your relationship to a whole new level, keep these 5 qualities men crave in mind. #1 Flirty gestures.  All guys love a little bit of a flirt in a girl. While they may not appreciate this as much if this flirting extends to other guys, men love to have subtle thoughts put into their head where their imagination can run with it. #2 Appearances.  Any guy who tells a girl that he cares more about what is on the inside than on the outside the first time he meets her is full of crap. Men are attracted by the physical appearance of a woman first, and they learn to love *or put up* with the personality of the woman next.  So take good care of yourself. Work out, eat good food and wear clothes that fits your body type. Above all, look your best every time you step out. #3 Shows vulnerability.  Men love to be the heroes, and we love to feel like we came and rescued the day. When a woman opens up and talks about her t

Marrying young has been amazing for me. It made me realize that you don’t have to complete every aspect of your life before getting married. Don’t allow others’ opinions to control your happiness. If you found the perfect match, why not begin building the life you’ve always wanted together? While getting married may not be for everyone, there are reasons why I think it’s worth it.  1. You grow up together You not only get to grow old together, but you get to grow up together. Together you can conquer all the young adult problems and then your mid-life crises with each other. While many of your peers might still be finding themselves, you’ve already figured out what you want, and you get to achieve it all with your partner by your side.  2. You take better care of yourself  Getting married at such a young age made me realize that I want to enjoy everything and take nothing for granted. I want to be present for every milestone. For instance, I tend to drive a little safer so I can see th

Here’s the latest gossip about the “God’s Plan” rapper. Drake ‘Sour’ Over Rihanna’s Relationship? This week, OK! reports Drake didn’t call up Rihanna to offer his congratulations after she announced she and A$AP Rocky had a baby on the way. “His ego has been badly bruised,” an insider notes. Drake and Rihanna dated on and off for yearsbefore finally calling it quits in 2016, but sources say Drake still hasn’t gotten over her. “[He] hasn’t been able to get her out of his head, and he’s bitter because he doesn’t get why she’s with a guy like Rocky,” the tipster confides. The source notes that Rocky “is well known to have a major roving eye and serious skeletons in his closet.” Shortly after Rihanna debuted her baby bump, Drake posted a cryptic post about “shallow souls,” which many fans speculated was a shot at Rihanna and Rocky

Partner or parent, friend, or spouse—human beings thrive on a sense of connection and belonging. And we’re not just saying that to make you feel good. Science proves that love really is a boon to your well-being. Check out surprising ways that your body thrives on the thrills—and the long-term stability—of loving relationships.  HEALTHIER HEART Marriage dramatically lowers the risk of fatal and non-fatal heart attacks in both men and women of all ages. Compared to their partnered peers, single folks face a 58-66% greater risk of cardiac events.  FEWER STROKES For men, a happy marriage is a buffer against stroke. An Israeli study shows that single guys face a 64% greater risk of fatal stroke than married males do—but only if the unions are sound and supportive.  LESS STRESS A strong partnership can put the kibosh on cortisol, the body’s stress hormone. In an experiment at the University of Chicago, strongly connected people handled stress better than their single peers did.  BETTER AGIN
