Relationship - What you must know about Ghanaian men

February 1, 2010 |11:18 | Relationship  By : Team X

Relationship - What you must know about Ghanaian menFor a woman romance is very important indicator of the health of a relationship. A woman in love continually looks for verbal, written and behavioural evidence that she is loved, treasured and listened to.

She loves hugging, non-sexual touching, conversation, compliments, spontaneity and social gathering. Unfortunately, the Ghanaian woman never sees a lasting romance in her Ghanaian lover especially in long relationships like marriage. The reason is simple. The Ghanaian man is a hunter and a zoo keeper.

Ghanaian man as a hunter. A good hunter does all he can to capture his prey. If he has to go to the thick forest deep in the night, stand still for hours, crawl on his belly, he will do so. In the same way, a Ghanaian man will do all it takes to capture his woman. He will give plenty of gifts. He will patiently wait and visit on end. He will call often and send mails. He gives the woman no breathing space as he keeps his foot on the pedal.

What's love got to do with it?

January 30, 2010 |12:37 | Relationship  By : Team X

Love, romance, passion – they make the world go round. If we were to somehow stop believing in the holy grail of the heart, the mass economic destruction that would follow in our passionless footsteps would make the current global meltdown seem like an overheated molehill. Why then is love being so calmly forsaken when it comes to making a decision that it should in fact underpin?

When it comes to marriage, is the modern woman slipping off her rose-tinted glasses to don a more modern pair that bears the hallmark of practicality? An increasing number of young women and college teens, though eager to experience different kinds of love by dating an array of young men, finally choose to toe the line and quietly marry a suitable boy chosen by their parents.

Arranged - not forced - marriages are losing the stigma of being backward and narrow-minded, as many independent women are embracing the idea of marrying men who enjoy the same financial, cultural and social background as them. "And why not?"

Women betrayed by love and men by sex

January 28, 2010 |10:51 | Relationship  By : Team X

Researchers believe the two opposing views about what would do the most damage to a relationship could explain why marriages break down so often.

Previous research has suggested a similar trend and the prevailing theory was the difference has evolutionary origins.

Men learned over thousands of years to be hyper-vigilant about sex because they can never be absolutely certain they are the father of a child - while women are much more concerned about having a partner who is committed to raising a family.

Are you tired of investing your energy in relationships that always seem to hit a dead end? Every woman wants a loving and committed relationship, but these perfect partnerships don't appear out of thin air.

True love, in its deepest sense, requires effort and work. The key is to know how to invest your efforts properly so you can earn his love and not chase him away instead.

All for love

Gabriela Dabrowski is in Melbourne today, preparing for the start of the Australian Open junior tennis tournament. Last week, she was two hours away in Traralgon for a tune-up event. In the weeks before that, Dabrowski was hitting serves and volleys at competitions in Costa Rica and Mexico.

She left for the Mexican tournament on Christmas Eve, following a brief but "necessary" mental break at her Blossom Park home. The pit stop in Ottawa came after a heavy slate of events in early December, culminating in her victory at the prestigious Orange Bowl championship in Key Biscayne, Florida, a triumph that vaulted the 17-year-old to No. 5 in the world junior rankings.

When the Australian Open wraps up, Dabrowski will leave for another tournament on the southern Australian island of Tasmania, followed by a series of low-profile Challenger professional events in the southern U.S.
"The last few months have been filled with a lot of travel," Dabrowski says in a telephone interview during some rare down time Down Under. "At this time last year, well, really from mid-November on, I was based in Florida for six months. It was more about training.

Put off sex to find right man

January 20, 2010 |11:00 | Relationship  By : Team X

I am a single woman who is really trying hard to not be. I am happy, successful and independent, but do not want to spend the rest of my life alone. I have dated all different kinds of men and have been through at least one, what I would consider to be, a fairly serious relationship. I want someone who respects me, treats me like a woman should be treated, enjoys some of the same things as me, someone that I find interesting and of course I need to feel physically attracted to them. My friends often try to school me on what I am doing wrong and have pointed out that as soon as I think I have a connection with someone, I waste no time jumping into a sexual relationship with them. I have never really thought there was anything wrong with having sex with someone that you enjoy being with. But now I question if my friends are right and that making a guy wait, might make him want me more. I am not the kind of person who likes to play games so I guess I am wondering if you think there is a certain amount of time or number of dates I should go on, before taking a relationship to that level and if making someone wait for sex will lead me to Mr. Right?

 

SEX & RELATIONSHIP - The marriage thermometer

January 19, 2010 |10:53 | Relationship  By : Team X

The Jamaican couple, who have been married for 12 years, are counsellors and wedding planners. They began counselling married couples and engaged individuals through their church, The Kingston Church of Christ. Their 10 years of experience, through the church, resulted in many couples coming to them for advice.

"We found that many people kept coming to us to ask 'how do you do this' or 'how do you do that'? So, about a year ago, instead of repeating ourselves, we decided to put it in a book," said Mark Gregory. The book, which took approximately a year and a half to be completed, is an aid for both married couples and engaged couples.

It forms a part of the Marriage Thermometer Principles, which starts with a couple using the free Marriage Thermometer Software to determine the temperature range of their relationship, whether it's from hot to freezing. Then, they return to the book.
