Relationship: Fighting No-No
Couples often come into arguments and start fighting forgetting where they are standing. You have to be conscious of the place when you come into an argument and avoid fighting in a crowd. Couples often start arguing and then end up fighting when they are attending a party or any other family gathering. This not only creates an embarrassing atmosphere for the couples and family members but also becomes a talk of the town.

Difficult In-Laws: Severing the Umbilical Cord (Part 1)
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.

No woman will stand a relationship if she doesn’t admire her partner. There has to be something that our men are truly good at, that we need to keep reminding ourselves, especially when the luster of the relationship has lost its power or when we want to maintain a good one. Equally, it is important for men to be admired.

Are You REALLY Happy In Your Relationship Or Have You Just Settled?
I recently read a study that indicated that 91% of all people in relationships were not happy. Now I can't tell you if this percentage is true, if it is an accurate portrayal of the average relationship or an exaggeration to get people’s attention. I don't know the details or particulars of the study as they were not given in very much depth. But the fact remains, that if 91% of the people surveyed felt this way, can we assume that many other people in general who were not surveyed are not happy as well? I don’t like to make assumptions but this number is really scary.

Relationship Tips
Relationships can be so exciting at the start. It’s a time when you just can’t wait to see each other, spend every spare minute dreaming about each other and just can’t keep off the phone. Unfortunately as the relationship develops into a comfortable routine, the excitement generally recedes, the need to touch base becomes more infrequent and a period of normality sets in. For many, the excitement is in the chase and for others the feeling of commitment can become a strain, the recognition that the love of your life is only human and has their faults makes you question your judgment, and the disappearance of those little surprises can out a dampener on the whole thing.
