Woman look for love in all sorts of places and sometimes they find it with someone that is much younger than they are, for example Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. They fall in love with this guy that can almost be their own child. So the topic for today is, should a woman date a guy that is younger than her. Many times these women that end up dating these younger men have tried dating men thier own age and those relationships didn’t end well and so they decide to try something different. A lot of times these women are looking to feel young again and these young men, provide them with the adrenaline rush that they are in search for. But, what we do find in a lot of these cases is that sometimes, it’s the woman that has to take care of the man financially and a lot of times these men end up being treated as if their the women’s children and not their equal counterpart. The women forget that they are dealing with a guy that may not be on the same maturity  level as they. Some women though do end up finding love and creating a family with this younger man. So what do you think TTWTA readers, should a woman date a younger man? Please feel free to say how you feel, we would love to know.

Many people get married, and in the beginning life is all that they thought it would be and then it hits them that this was never the person that they were intended to be with. They start constantly arguing and their marriage begins to fall apart. They begin to lose sight of the love that they once had and to them it seems like they just can’t get the love back into their relationship. The only thing that they may feel is keeping them together is their kids. Should a couple remain married for the sake of their children?

There are so many opinions out there and we are so eager to here yours, but for now let me tell you how it is I feel.

Divorce shouldn’t be an option in a marriage, unless of course your mate cheats on you and you just can’t get past it. Now I can understand that there can be a lot of problems that arise in a marriage, some of which may cause you to wonder or think twice about the person that your with, which is reason enough that before you decide to take such a big step in that direction that you are certain that this is the person that your supposed to be with. I would ask God for a divine intervention. It’s also important that if you do encounter problems that you use all of your resources in order to try to resolve them. We have by the way a lot of great tips in this blog on how to have a successful relationship. You should definitely look into it. When you were first married, you didn’t do it for anyone except yourselves, but when you have children they do become an important part of the equation and every decision you make will affect them. Your children should be your first priority, but I do understand that it’s hard to make anyone happy if you yourself isn’t happy, but it’s more important that you try seeking this happiness while your still married. Try to figure out when you stopped being happy and what steps you can take to get yourself back to that place. Love is something that a person needs to work on everyday, in order for it to grow and flourish.

Ok a lot of people complain that they have a tough time getting along with their mother in law, or mother in law to be. The reason for this may be several things but for the most part some parents, especially  mothers, already have a mindset on what they want for their kids and they forget that it’s really up to their children who they decide to be with it. Instead of embracing their children’s decision they rather make it impossible for their children’s partner, especially the women to get a long with them. It would be a lie to think that there is a sure way in order to make your mother in law like you, but there are some steps that you can take to make the situation more comfortable.

Before you meet your mother in law or mother in law to be, or just your boyfriend’s mom, find out what she likes. Bring flowers, or something you know she won’t be able to refuse. When you meet her for the first time, kiss her on the cheek (they love this). Also take the time to talk to her, even if you see that she’s giving you a bad attitude, don’t let it bother you because eventually she will open up to you. She doesn’t want to seem like a monster in front of her child so she will at least have to have a conversation with you. Also you can invite her to go out to dinner, movie, shopping, and if you really want her to like you, you can even take her to the spa, I don’t think any woman will say no to that. It’s important if you want someone, especially a mother in law to like you, you have to make that possible. Sometimes people automatically assume certain things about you without really getting to know you. If you think that the person should just like you off the bat, well you definitely have something else coming. For some you do have to prove to them that you are the one for their child, it’s just the way it is. Now, if you do find one that loves you, then hold on tight.

In this day and age, so many people feel that having a long lasting relationship is far from impossible. Well, le t me be the one to tell you that it really isn’t. I won’t lie to you and say that it doesn’t take a whole lot of work, patience, and understanding but if you truly love someone than any and everything is possible. A lot of times when people are in relationships, they tend to give up easily, if you truly love someone than you have to exhaust all of your resources before you decide that you no longer want to be with them. But this is only and only if you want to really be with them and they too want to be with you. There are certain things though that will help you in your relationship if you do want it to work. Trust me, I wouldn’t be telling you these things, if I had no clue of what I’m talking about.

It’s important that when your in a relationship, that you respect the person that your with and that they give you the same respect right back. When I say respect, I mean it’s important that you choose your words carefully, there is no need to tell your partner, curse words, or words that will make them feel disrespected in any shape or form. A lot of times even the word “shut up” can do more harm than good. It’s important that you understand that adults go about handling matters in a more adult way, and that involves talking to each other like human beings and not like animals. Respecting each other is key.

Another important thing to remember if you want to keep your relationship going is to be open and honest to your partner. If you are keeping things, this will do more harm than good, because they are bound to come out at some point. It’s always better to clear the air than to keep things hidden because it does make a situation that could have been easily resolved much worse if the truth is uncovered at a later time.

Another thing that a person needs in a relationship, is understanding. If for example you are with someone and they tell you that they don’t want to do something or they aren’t feeling up to it, it’s important that you try to understand what they are trying to tell you even if you don’t like it. It’s never healthy in a relationship when a person has to give up all of themselves just to please you because what happens then is that they stop loving themselves which can prevent them from loving you.

There are so many other factors that go into having a long lasting relationship, but trust me when I say these three are crucial, respect, honesty, understanding, oh and one that I didn’t mention above which is trust. If you love someone than trust and believe that they wouldn’t do anything to hurt you just like you wouldn’t do anything to hurt them.

What is too old to be livng at home with mom and dad? Some people believe that once they are 18 then it is definitely time to leave the nest? Some people go off to college and never come back home, while others sometimes leave, come back and end up staying for too long, there are those though that just never leave their mom’s and dad’s. Should a person at 30 still be living at home with their parents, or is it time to spread their wings and go and do their own thing?

Thirty is a critical age for anyone, it’s a time in a person’s life where they need to know exactly what they want, and living on their own, in their own space should definitely be something to consider. At 30, you should be adult enough to take care of yourself and your own household, you should know how to pay bills, and should be able to walk around your house naked if that’s your will, without worrying about mom or dad telling you to put on some clothes (just a thought). Independence, is something that can very attractive as well, when you are looking to get into a serious relationship. A girl would love to know that a man has his own space, and this should go both ways. There comes a time in this life where everyone really needs to just spread their wings and fly away on their own.

Breaking up is never easy, and getting over someone is the hardest part of it all, especially when you invested so much of yourself into the relationship. This is usually hardest for those that did in fact fall in love but fell out of it at some point in their relationship. Despite how much someone wants to contest it takes a lot of energy to be in a relationship and even more energy sometimes to get over one. 

Getting over someone that is obviously getting over you is very important. It’s important that a person learns to move on with their lives in the fastest way possible so that you don’t become depressed or sad or think about the situation that you have found yourself in. Here are some key things to do in order to get over your ex and move forward with your life. 

Once you have found that you are back to being single,it’s important that you put away all the things that reminds you of when you were in your relationship, especially pictures. Next you should start making a list of all the things that you wish you had more time for, but maybe couldn’t find the time for while you were in your relationship. If you haven’t been working out, trust this would be the best time to start. Make a list of every single thing you’ve ever wanted to do, and choose one of them that you will do within the next week or few weeks, depending on what it is and the time frame required for it. 

Many people tend to fall into a trap of getting out of one relationship and suddenly start another. Big mistake! It’s important that during this time, you go back and revisit some things that probably caused your relationship to fail, and who was at fault. Now I did say to put away all things that remind you of your relationship, which still remains true, but this part has to do more so with you and your feelings. This particularly will help you heal and perhaps help you in your future relationships. 

Also, let’s not forget to go out and enjoy ourselves during this time, meet new people, mingle, have lots of fun and remember that there is that right person for you. 

Don’t be afraid of what tomorrow may bring, but rather live for today. Yesterday’s troubles are exactly what they are yesterday’s troubles, so don’t let them keep you down.
