Why Sex Before Marriage?
Our society is starving for intimacy and many of the lies we believe in our culture have to do with our hunger for relationship. We want acceptance, loving relationships and deep intimacy, and yet we believe the lie that sex will satisfy our hunger. It’s true that we are profoundly sexual beings, but it’s time to examine some of the lies we feast on: the lie that premarital sex is one of our...  more

Relationship Do's and Dont's
I guess we all have our different opinions on how things should be. Whether it is to have someone be honest in a relation ship or to work hard in a relationship. No matter what you do people have that view of how relationship will work, however, some can change their opinions. How is that? When two people truly want a relationship to work don't they first have to work at it? We have all been...  more

Light Switch Relationships
I think everyone at one point in their lives has the lightswitch romance. It's the vicious yet often times unnoticed cycle of dating and breaking up only to date again. So why do people do it? Why do we swear to ourselves that it was the last time only to date them a few months later? Like many, I had my first major lightswitch relationship in High School. My lightswitch relationships...  more

Thinking of You
Sophie's face faded into the gray winter light of the sitting room. She dozed in the armchair that Joe had bought for her on their fortieth anniversary. The room was warm and quiet. Outside it was snowing lightly. At a quarter past one the mailman turned the corner onto Allen Street. He was behind on his route, not because of the snow, but because it was Valentine's Day and there was more mail...  more

Marriage, Heaven or Hell? Which Will You Choose?
For women, being married is the height of the romantic ideal. Some girls plan their weddings from the time they were in knees socks, which is why we consider weddings to be primarily for the woman. It is "her day" we say.For men, such a commitment means giving up their independence. Even a relationship-oriented male may feel as if he is exchanging his carefree days for a life of drudgery....  more

Why Women Don't Like Nice Guys

Add Snuggles To Your Portfolio
I'm going to spell out the powerful effects held by the simple snuggle. Underneath it all, every woman craves a little protection, a shield from the storms found in the daily grind.

All of this can be achieved through a little snuggle here and there.Given that men likely don't understand this need, I'll...  more
