They don’t just relish in your happiness and pride, they will do whatever they can to help you achieve your goals.

Only call your ex to have something shady around in this heat

Gimme a love that's hotter than the fires of Mount Doom

If there is one thing that I am excited about when I become a mom, is to dress my kids in cute and stylish outfits. I am in no way a fashionable person, but there is something that seems so fun in dressing your own tiny baby, and I just know I'll do a good job. That being said, if my partner will also enjoy picking out clothes for our kids, I don't see myself denying him that, even if the clothes he picks are not my favorite. This is hardly a good enough reason to create drama for the family, a…

Marriage can be one of the most beautiful things in the world. Going through life with someone, through the thick and thin, and facing the world together is soul opening and enriching. Though it’s not always a walk in the park , its challenges still excite both partners to grow and share life together, which bonds them closer and closer. But unfortunately, people change, and sometimes for the worse. Though you may think you married someone, they may not turn out to be the person you thought the…

The minute you and your spouse welcome a baby into the world, everything you have known up to that point drastically changes. Suddenly, your partner is more focused on the baby than on you. Everyone is preoccupied with the baby, so suddenly you have no time to prioritize your needs and wants. However, a modification such as the one mentioned above can have a big effect on the parents.

I fully support the idea that people should be 100% themselves when they are around their loved ones. There should be absolutely no reason for couples to feel uncomfortable around each other, or feel like they shouldn't show their true colors to their significant other.

If at that stage, something is still not right between the couple, there is…

More people should educate themselves on human health and the human body. Not all…
