With youthful excitement and limited budgets though, many young men simply pick a ring and diamond that just "looks good" and is affordable.

Planning a funeral is something that most folks want to avoid for as long as possible.

It’s hard to keep things fresh. Case in point: Some people have a natural inclination for adventure and constantly try new things in life.

A good husband should provide for his family. He must also make sure of his strong unity with his wife as well as the growth and development of his children. In fact, I remember during my pre-cana education classes where the leader told us that while kids are important - the bond between husband and wife is even more so. Without that strong relationship built and trust, understanding, and respect... ultimately nothing else matters.

Nothing could be a more beautiful part of a man's life than to have a family. Having kids, after all, is nothing like the societal requirement some people want us to believe. It is actually that phase where you realize that family means a lot more than you thought.  

Weddings generate a lot of stories that get passed down through generations. You may have grown up hearing the tale of your great uncle's shenanigans at the altar, and it has become a part of the family lore. The wedding itself, however, is not proof that a union is legally binding. For such proof, you need a marriage record.

Going on a trip with your girlfriend sounds like plenty of fun. Well, perhaps not as exciting and wild as traveling with the boys but pretty good nevertheless. One thing about travel though is that it either strengthens relationship bonds or creates deep irreparable cracks.

When I first presented this idea to some guy friends, they laughed. The response I got was, "why - she already has the whole house to be hers!" While that's true that generally your wife is in control of how things are organized, decorated, and even scented for most of your home - that doesn't mean it is truly a space for HER. Most women... especially those who work from home or are stay-at-home moms certainly don't look at the home as a place where she can relax and enjoy life. While she might organize the kitchen in a certain way... it's often simply so she can get her job done easier.

Communication is tough. No matter who you're talking to or what context it's in, there's always the potential for crossed wires, misunderstandings, or just saying the wrong thing. Some of the most difficult communication to puzzle out is that between you and your romantic partner. Communicating as a couple can be so hard, especially if you both have different styles of communication. Poor communication can ruin a relationship if you're not careful, but you don't have to let it get that far. If you need to improve the communication in your relationship, take a look at the following ways to do it.

Let’s park the masculine bravado for a minute; we ultimately all want to be in a loving relationship with the woman (or man) of our dreams. So, when you find the perfect partner, being the best boyfriend possible should be an ongoing commitment.

Men and women generally have different perspectives on almost everything in life. It's natural and it's part of the joy of a relationship as you navigate experiences together using each other's special skills and experiences. However, to keep things fresh and fun it's essential to spend time apart as well. For some couples, this can be a challenge to negotiate since the natural reaction can be, "what? You want time away from me?... do you not love me?". This was and sometimes is the way Heather feels when I want to go and just do my own stuff. However, ultimately I think it's important for both of us to spend time as independent people since that only makes it more exciting when we come back together. Here's some ways you can carve out some me time - alone or with the guys, without having to feel like you are risking damage to your relationship.
