1. "Oh, I didn't think we were exclusive." This is a bad thing to say a month into the relationship. This is an even worse thing to say a year into the relationship. Always make sure you're on the same page, even if that page is a chapter titled "Friends with Benefits."

Everyone knows that long-distance relationships are hard work, but here is something you may not know: being in a long-distance relationship—at least for a season—can actually be good for you.

In some conversations that I have with women regarding a man they are just starting to date, or even one they have been with for a while, I often hear how he is not as verbal as they would like when it comes to showing their affection.

In the past, you lived like a king if you were a student in the university. Each student had a room and a pigeon hole to himself or herself to indicate he or she is officially known in the hall.

So, you have a crush, but you don't know how to get his attention. It's actually not that hard. 

Trust is the bedrock for building a strong relationship. However, lack of trust is one of the most common themes to surface in most relationships.

1. Trying to get him to be more motivated. If he can’t get a job he actually likes (so he’s not constantly complaining about how horrible his social work job is because he hates children) on his own, you’re not going to be able to move his lazy-ass mountains.

We’ve all been in relationships where, at times, we’ve felt more like a mom or a secretary than a significant other. While we understand that healthy relationships require compromises, we’ve compiled a list of favors that good boyfriends know better than to consistently request. If you’re constantly taking on any of the items on this list (especially with any hint of resentment), it’s time to get your guy to lend a hand.

He liked it so he put a ring on it, and now you don't want to take said ring off? We completely understand.

A man has 40 per cent muscle by weight but a woman has 20 per cent muscle by weight. He has bigger lungs and more blood which carries more red blood cells. In addition, a man has higher levels of testosterone and these combine to give a man almost twice the brute strength of woman. 

As women, we know how hard it is to get our men to understand us. We talk to them and then we get the stare.

The worst part of being manipulated in a relationship is that quite often you don’t even know it’s happening.

A man in Turkey has been fined for saying "I don't love you" to his wife.

Conflicts are part of life and therefore part of all marriages. It is therefore impossible to have a marriage without problems. Each day has its own ‘wahala.’ The moment you think your marriage is perfect and therefore you do not have problems, chances are your marriage is dead and you do not know it.

1. The move: Making a ton of noise when you orgasm.

What guys think: Sex noises (and dirty talk) are always great, but focus on your orgasm, not on yelling. Some women get sort of quiet right before their big moment. Some like to yell. Do whatever you need to do, not what you think we want you to do.

It’S cliche for a reason … men aren’t always best at showing how they feel, even when they’re crazy about you. But here are 10 ways to know for sure:

Being an extrovert with a hot temper I find it difficult to deal with introverted people. A few years ago I was dating a very shy man and our relationship collapsed because I couldn’t meet his basic needs and I couldn’t understand fundamental things about being an introvert. Most people, and I was no exception, credit numerous stereotypes about introverts.

Sixty thousand condoms and one thousand lubricants were distributed for use in the Sunyani Municipality alone in the Brong Ahafo Region during this year’s Valentine’s Day, the Brong Ahafo Regional branch of the Ghana Aids Commission (GAC), has revealed.
