Relationships & Family > Married Life Is sharing housework between husbands and wives the key to successful marriages?: 5 of 50
The key to a successful marriage has very little to do with housework, in my opinion.There are so many other issues and concerns that come up way before your living together and sharing in any responsibilities. Communication is the key. Throughout your courtship I'm sure that the topic will arise at some point about housework... More..
Relationships & Family > Marriage & Intimacy How frequently people make love: 5 of 37
Notice the article title is "How frequently people MAKE LOVE", not have sex. Ideally sex and making love would be one in the same, but who are we fooling here? We don't live in a moral or ethical world. As unfortunate as that is, its the cold hard truth. Having said that... onto the article already.Everyones sexual appetite i... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Living with the past: 28 of 204
When I came across this article the first thought was that I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. I like my past right where it's at- hehind me. Unfortunately, as much as I'd like for it to be that way, thats not actually the case at all. I thought maybe I needed to expose the dirty truth about myself because it would be u... More..

You couldn't convince me, even just 5 years ago, that I would be married today- and happy at that.I am a former serial relationship-a-holic.

Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Desperate to save my marriage: 1 of 7
I was quick to point the finger at others and tell them what they weren't doing right in their relationship. I had the picture perfect life and the picture perfect husband.

Relationships & Family > Divorce Psychology The most frequent cause of divorce: 18 of 120
Although no two failed relationships are the same,I think that they all have two words in common- "Lack Of".You ask couples who decided that enough was enough and decided to throw in the gloves and most likely they'll begin the conversation with a lack of something.Before I got married I made sure I did my homework. I wanted ... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Views on abortion: 38 of 223
Most likely my "fan club" will grow once I publish this article.. but thats a chance I'm willing to take. Ok, lets look at the big picture. There are a few "reasons" for an abortion.. regardless of the debate of justification. Rape/incest and form of birth control. You either wanted to have sex or didn't.. and got pregnant. I... More..
Relationships & Family > Break-Ups & Exes When being friends with your ex isn't an option: 8 of 31
I'm fascinated when people tell me that their friends with their ex. I almost can't believe it. You see, in my life, my exes became my exes because I held on way past the expiration date. I don't get out of relationships until hate and resentment is all thats left.My last experience with an ex was about 2 and 1/2 years ago. I... More..
Relationships & Family > Romance & Sexuality Assessing interracial relationships: 9 of 23
I grew up in a town that truly had one family of color in it. I was raised that you should stay with "your own". It didn't make any difference to me, as it doesn't most children. Its not until you get older and a bit more calloused and opionated that race plays a factor in any area of your life.I moved away from that town and... More..
Relationships & Family > Tips for Marital Happiness Marriage tips: On complimenting your spouse: 2 of 5
Maybe if we told our husbands what they do right as much as we tell them what their doing wrong, half of marriages wouldn't end in divorce. This hasn't been proven by a professional to my knowledge, Dr. Phil didn't have it on his show, and it hasn't earned me a single dime. However, I couldn't believe what a difference it has... More..
