Woman was made from the rib of man.
She was not created from his head to top him, nor from his feet to be stepped upon.
She was made from his side to be equal to him,
beneath his arm to be protected by him,
near his heart to be loved by hi...

In love
I honestly fail to understand why most guys my age prefer not to be in love. What is it about being in love that they despise so much that they rather label themselves as players or bad boys and so forth. I can honestly count with my one hand how many guy friends I have who are openly, happily in love. It's amazing.
Being in love and loved is possibly one of the best feelings in the world.
I decided in my last year of highschool already that when...

Can you imagine life without your partner?
Have you ever considered what life would be like without your man or woman? How it would impact your life, and what things in your life would change as a result thereof etc
Chances are, when things are going well in the relationship, such questions are the very last thing on your mind. This can be both good and bad, but more to the good side.
It is good that you dont ask yourself these questions because it implies that everything is really going...

Your girlfriend and your girl friend
I bet some of you are confused by the above title of this post and think I made a typo? Nope!
The issue here is your relationship with your girlfriend (your partner), somewhat clashing with your friendship with your female friends or friends of the opposite sex.
The term JELOUSY is obviously the very first thing that pops up when I think about this scenario.
It is very easy for your friends to say that since being with your girlfriend you guys dont hang out and do the things you used to, it is even easier for your girlfriend to perhaps become jelous of the relationship you have with these female friends. Its just complicated!
The way I deal with...

Thinking back
So many regrets I have about my past, as specially when I ask myself if the cheating was all worth it. But of course, it really wasn't. It was an excuse of an escape route of some sort I guess, I don't know.
Well, theres no use feeling sorry for myself forever, I had to take responsibility for my actions and face the music at some point or the other.
I'm really glad I have found myself though. I'm glad I managed to get out of the frame of mind I was in, as quickly as I got into it.
I laugh to myself when I look at guys out there who walk around feeling proud to be "players". What is even funnier though is the awkward silence I get when...
Staying in an unhappy relationship
Why is it that some people decide to stay in unhappy relationships? This is rather puzzling isn't it. I'm sure you know of atleast one person in your life who has been in such a situation?
Although there are literally thousands of reasons why, I'm going to mention a few.
1) Fear of the unknown - Being in a serious relationship suggests that you invested your time and effort into the relationship. Furthermore, it means that you have developed a certain lifestyle and habits which directly results from you being in a relationship. Now letting go and having to change your habits and lifestyle may seem like too much for some people.
2) Shame or Failure...

From player to prayer
Today I talk a little bit about how I overcame something which I think many men go through.
The story behind cheating
Although the topic of why men cheat is for another post, I think we should should shed some light there first.
Studies have shown that men are more likely to cheat on their partners, and that there are quite distinct differences between why a man would cheat and why a woman would cheat. And with evolutionary psychologists telling...

Are you worth it?
This is intended more for the ladies, as I am yet to hear of a guy who has fallen victim to this.
Why do some women (and men I guess, in rare cases) allow themselves to be in a situation whereby they are extremely hurt because the person they "love" has just left them?
I say this because a female friend of mine came to me yesterday, as red as a tomato and full of tears, telling me that her boyfriend has just dumped her for no good reason.
Too often...

Is it really love?
Do you love your partner? Yes? Good. In that case I hope that means you understand what love is.
I have noticed recently that the majority of us young people tend to think and believe that we are in love where in actual fact we are not. The word love is being thrown around way too much and I feel it is misunderstood. I am referring to the love between two partners and not the love shared between family and friends.
There is a big difference between real love and emotional attachment. When we have emotional attachment to someone, we need their attention and presence. Often attachment occurs out of a sense of insecurity.
Strong relationships need...

Inspiration
ARE YOU HAPPY IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP?
If you're not married yet, share this with a friend. If you are married, share it with your spouse or other married couples... and reflect on it.
An African proverb states, "Before you get married, keep both eyes open, and after you marry, close one eye."
Before you get involved and make a commitment to someone, don't let lust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low-self esteem make you blind to warning signs. Keep your eyes open and don't fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults aren't really important. Once you decide to commit to someone,...

Dealing with cheating
This post goes out to all those who have been cheated on by their partners...yes, girls do cheat as well if you didn't know.
Cheating hey, the first that that comes to my mind is why, why cheat. If you are not happy you should simply excuse yourself from a relationship, but that is a topic for another day.
So, u have come to realise that your significant other has cheated on you, what do you do, how do you move forward with life?
1st and foremost, stay calm! Take a breather and get all your facts together. There is nothing worse than accusing someone of cheating whereby they weren't cheating.
Be objective and open minded with the information...

Understanding your partner
I was speaking to my father over dinner last night about love and life, and he said something to me that sparked a chain of thoughts in my mind. He said to me "you know, it takes years for you to actually understand someone". We were talking about things like divorce.
This the made me think allot, recalling that Iv seen so many couples (myself included), happily in love but forever fighting/arguing over petty things, which most of the time you would later sit together and laugh about.
I personally think the reason for this is simply because we are different. Think about this way. You were raised in a certain kind of environment by your family,...

Taking your relationship to the next level, but before marriage
Soo...you've got girlfriend/boyfriend and things have been great and you are happy. You two have been together for some time now and things are starting to head towards marriage, but marriage seems like too much of a "next step" to take for you? Better yet, you WOULD LOVE to get married to your partner but you cannot at the moment because you are either still too young, you can't introduce him/her to your folks yet, financially you just aren't ready,...
