The Relationship Counsellor

1. The Chatterbox: This is the woman who never shuts up, barely stopping to breathe. Seemingly only concerned about what is going on in her life, she always has to make a comment about everything and dominates conversations. 2. The Desperate Chick: This type of woman will seem fantastic at first, until she starts talking about your wedding location, how many kids she wants and the name of your future dog–right after the first date! When a woman advances WAY faster than normal,watch out. She needs a man so bad that she’s willing to put anybody in that slot, even the homeless guy on the corner. 3. The Overly-Critical Woman: Anything you do for this type of woman is simply not good enough. Nothing seems to work unless it is done according to her standards. Anything that is said by anyone will be quickly taken out of context to become some sort of insult or some reason to wage war against the world. This type of woman has plenty of emotional baggage and will make you

Sex apart from creating intimacy can also help the mind and body at the same time. It brings out the beauty in you and can creates better health of mind and body. Krystle Crossman  lists 10 ways sex makes you beautiful: Your hair becomes shinier after a roll in the hay. The production of estrogen increases in women who frequently have intercourse which contributes to healthier hair. Having frequent “nookie” can make you look younger. Three times per week or more can give you a youthful glow which can help with your inner beauty as well.

The best laid out plans still has a tendency of going wrong. And being humans that we are, there's also a high chance of panicking or getting really cranky when things don't go as planned. This article is really about keeping your cool even when your plans are not going as you initially thought it would. Allison Bryant of All Women Stalk  gives a few tips on how to control the situation around you even when it seems to be out of your control: Don't panic! It might not be as bad as you think:  The first step is to not panic; the situation might not be as bad as you think. Take a step back and #look at it objectively. Your initial assumption that it's all going wrong may not be right. Once you've thought about it, you might realise there's no need to worry. Or you may be able to turn #things around.

This article written by  Mom Logic  for  YourTango  explains why it is dangerous for married women who have kids to love them more than their husbands. The relationship writer and psychologist says many couples with young children often find themselves exhausted, angry, and disconnected in their marriage mainly because the women focus on her children leaving the husband to throw himself into more work. She writes that this may seem like a good idea for a time, but as this goes on, the relationship will begin to suffer greatly. When we get married and before we have kids, as couples, we have the time, energy, and money to devote to our relationship.

1. A slam poetry reading.  There is a time and a place for slam poetry (in theory; in practice it is my personal idea of hell), and that is NOT when two people are just beginning to get to know each other. You'll get to know a hell of a lot about the poets, since it's a share-fest up in there. 2. Your amateur comedy show/rock concert/whatever.  Baby Jesus, sweet baby Jesus in his swaddling cloth, please do not. Because, well, see #1, plus the added discomfort of you potentially sucking. Such a bad vibe for a date.

No human life is confrontation free, we all have to face them at one point in our existence on earth. So what do you do when you can't avoid confrontation especially if you're the type who runs away from trouble like a plaque or you break down easily when confronted. Holly Riordan of All Women Stalk  lists 7 tips on how to be calm and cool when faced with this kind of situation: Stick to the topic at hand:  If you approached your #boyfriend to complain about how he's always late for dates, then don’t veer off topic by bringing up something hurtful he did years ago that you should've forgiven him for already. If you bring up tons of different topics at once, the original one might be swept under the rug. Plus, the more bad memories you bring up, the bigger your chances are of starting a huge fight you didn't mean to start. It's usually not personal:  If your boss fires you, it doesn't mean that she hates you. She might've been forced by her

The internet, the print media, even exaggerated tweets and status updates are filled with bragging advice on how to have a super duper exciting thrilling sex life... because an ordinary sex life isn’t good enough, right? Wrong.  As long as your sex life is satisfying, physically, emotionally, and psychologically, and healthy within your relationship, then ordinary is absolutely delightful . Many perfectly happy and satisfied couples engage in no more than three sexual positions on a regular basis. They aren’t swinging from chandeliers, they aren’t eating sushi off each other’s naked bodies, and there’s no outdoor sex on the bonnet of the car. Not that there’s anything wrong with any of that (within the confines of the law, of course). Creativity is terrific. Variety is integral to a spicy, interesting, and stimulating sex life. But small changes can  transform a sex life  that’s flagging into boringness or is deep down in the doldrums. Contrary to popular belief (and those exag

When is the best time for couples to go for therapy? Relationships experts say if you really want happily ever after, then you really have to work hard at it and there is no better time to start than right after your honeymoon. It doesn't matter how perfect you are or seem to be, couples really don't have to wait till their relationship hits the rock before they use the help of a therapist to revive their failing relationship. It also helps couples in love to get to know themselves better and love each other more  so they can maintain that initial connection they had over time, to overcome obstacles that threaten to break them apart. Lisa Fogarty of SheKnows  lists 7 reasons why new couples need to go for therapy: You can define your ideas about commitment:  Seems easy enough to say you want to commit to one person for the rest of your life, right? But the word "commitment" has different meanings for different people and it's important you're on t

FOUR LIES THAT CAN DESTROY MARRIAGE Why are failure, disappointment, betrayal, frustration and on-going conflict too often “par for the course” for marriage? I’ve found that there are delusional, faulty beliefs, and Love Lies, that we can inherit that can lead to marriage ruin. There are four (4) particular Love Lies that are often the main culprits. Love Lie #1: The Kids Should be the Centerpiece of the Marriage If we’re not mindful, we can look up and the child/children have become the focus of all of our attention and energy, while the marriage takes second seat, and can easily get neglected (this applies in blended families, too). Over time, there’s less and less quality time spent enjoying each other’s company, without the kid/kids present; and s*x can easily become a rarity. We can look up and the “soul” of our relationship is starving and it’s thirsty for nourishment. Strive to keep the well-being of your marriage at the center of your focus, and watch how your kids

RELATIONSHIP AND MARRIAGE TIPS: 1. It is better to remain single than to marry a bad wife/a bad husband. A happy single life is better than a sad married life. 2. In most cases, change takes place during courtship and not in marriage. If your partner can not change during courtship, do not expect any magic in marriage. In most cases, a bad character in courtship is worst in marriage. 3. A bad marriage is like hell on earth. Never you manage to marry somebody. 4. It is better to be single and wish to get married than to be married and wish to be single. God forbid. 5. Marry an imperfect person who is willing to work on his/her imperfection. This is the only type of person you can be patient with and also tolerate; not a person who does not take correction and therefore, not willing to change. 6. The biggest regret on earth is to regret why you married someone. 7.The biggest mistake on earth is to marry a wrong person you cannot cope with. 8. Do not play with marriage issue. This is bec

You are probably asking yourself some questions like "If I had done things differently, would they have stayed?" simply because you were deeply hurt from that experience. Letting yourself feel the pain of your separation is okay but drowning yourself in sorrow isn't the best thing for you at that time. The first thing to do for yourself is open up yourself towards a slow but long healing process. Compiled by Beliefnet, here are 6 ways to help you heal: Acceptance:  The first thing to do is accept the experience. Things did not turn out the way you had hoped and expected.  Now, you are extremely hurt. Don’t deny yourself the opportunity to accept what has happened. Not facing the heartbreak, not facing what you are currently going through will delay the healing process and could cause more emotional pain.

There's always a time to get comfortable in a relationship, and when that time comes it becomes quite easy to forget some of the things you used to do for your partner that showed common courtesy. He may not take it to heart because he loves you or sometimes doesn't realise you are being rude to him even though you have no idea that you are. Julia Austin of Madame Noire  lists 5 times you may have been rude to your boyfriend without knowing it. Do you change his food/drink order:  He tries to order the cheesecake and you cut him off, saying to the server, “Oh no no no…not if either of us wants to sleep tonight.” You know he has issues with dairy. You think it’s cute how “comfortable” you are talking about those things.

Dr. Kulkarni of Beliefnet  writes,  "anyone who’s heard of law of attraction knows by now that emotions and thought patterns are associated with different energy frequencies. For instance, strong emotions like hate, anger, and disempowerment, are associated with lower energies (scientists can now actually measure energy frequencies associated with brain activity and emotions). We also know from the basic principles of law of attraction that like energy vibrations attract each other. What this basically means is that if you think hateful thoughts, you are more likely to attract people, circumstances, and events that are a vibrational match to those thoughts. Sometimes, this is easily apparent- like when you see a really angry person that turns off everyone around them- they just seem to have a negative vibe. But most of us don’t have just one strong frequency or emotion going. We think millions of different thoughts daily, and all of those thoughts have their own unique frequenc
