Suppose a couple simply talked about their financial differences and had a mature conversation about what they…

One of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to sharing a home with my boyfriend is having to also share my food. Sharing my bed? I am totally okay with. Sharing a Netflix account? Sure. Sharing my snack? That is where I draw the line. The problem, and I am sure anyone who has ever lived with a man before can back me up here, is that they rarely have self-control when it comes to food. If the food is around, they will probably eat it, no matter who it belongs to. Even if I make my boyfriend swear…

Having kids should be one of the first things couples talk about when things start to get serious between them. This topic can singlehandedly end relationships, so to leave that topic out of the relationship can be a big mistake if you want it to work.

What would happen to our relationship if we discovered that one of us couldn't have kids?…

Therefore, when there's a possibility that the children will be affected, life-changing events like divorce should be handled very cautiously. The story below is an account of a confused father. As a recently divorced father, the original poster (OP) is still adjusting to his new way of life. The child's best interests will always come f…

There is nothing more important in life than family. Nothing compares to the value of family, whether it comes from your birth family or your marriage family.

It's important to first know what you're marrying into before saying “I do.”

In romantic relationships, it's important for each partner to be able to have their own friends and interests. And if they are interested in things you aren't, that's okay, as long as you are supportive of them. You can't forbid your partner from doing something completely harmless just because you don't like it. That is the perfect way to unnecessarily ruin a marriage, kind of like what this husband is facing right now. He took it to the internet because he's torn about his behavior. His wife,…

Before you get married, you would hope that you know everything about your partner. Everything - even the bad stuff- should be talked about before you decide to commit the rest of your life to one person. Family history, past traumas, all of it. You don't want to be legally bound to a person you thought was someone else. But alas, that is not always the case. Just like in these folks' marriages, some important things came out after they said, 'I do.' Some of their spouses revealed truths that...

“I think there’s something that goes on in a man’s brain when he’s broke that makes him feel deeply insecure and those insecurities seep out into other areas of his life and his relationship—especially if the woman is better off financially than him.”

To flirt is to roast.

We love to see women supporting women!

There are a lot of things to think about and things not to be taken lightly when preparing for a baby.
