 So you may not be a couple who fight in the heated sense, with arms thrashing and raised voices, but this doesn’t mean you don’t argue. Interestingly, there’s a large divide between couples that believe not arguing with a spouse is a badge of honour and those who think it’s a totally healthy way to interact, sometimes. Having said this, the type of arguing we hear less about is bickering and this is unfortunate, as it can inadvertently normalise the behaviour within relationships.  Bickering, when happening to extremes, is a slow burning and pervasive form of communication. If left unchecked and not taken seriously, there’s a chance that eventually all those minuscule issues will become a mountain, one that overwhelms individuals to near breaking point.  What’s the difference, really? Bickering is defined as arguing over small matters that on the surface are trivial. It could be something as tiny as who should drive or clothes left on the bathroom floor. The problem is t...

 Unfortunately, for some women in today’s society, one of the most frustrating elements of life is deciding when, if and how you choose to become a mother. The minute you hit 30 not only does your body clock begin chiming louder than ever, but relatives, friends and seemingly the whole medical profession appear to grow impatient for your child rearing years to commence. It’s a lot of pressure when you’re not ready or have already been unsuccessful in trying to conceive. So imagine what happens if for whatever reason you’re now in your forties, childless and suddenly wanting that family? What do you do now that everyone else has completely given up on you? It’s not over The first thing you need to know is that it’s not over, by any stretch of the imagination.  If you’re fit and healthy, you’ll do well to remember this.  Without question, you will be told repeatedly how dangerous it is to have a baby at your age, how badly it could effect the child, how difficult and resour...

 In the early days of dating most of our manners are impeccable and there’s not one word or action we miss when assessing how potential partners treat us. As time goes on however, our levels of appreciation can slip to woeful levels, sometimes bordering on downright rude and ungrateful. Sure, your partner knows you like it when he cooks your favourite meal, and sure she gets that you’re preoccupied occasionally, but the words ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ don’t take very long to say.  Our advice here is not to succumb to the easy pitfall of ingratitude, as it can be one of the most pervasive and damaging in a relationship.  Instead, demonstrate the manners and respect you would want someone else to have for your partner. Being Supportive Simply put, have your partner’s back.  When we’re trying to get close to someone it’s not unheard of to become a little biased by siding with them, or sharing their opinions. If we really don’t feel the same, we at least attempt to see it...

 Everyone’s different, we know that. Some women prefer taller men, some are only interested if you’re childfree and CEO of your own company. What we’re not trying to do here is give you a definitive list of what the woman you’re dating may be looking for, but instead showcase the traits you can’t go wrong with.  Whilst the finer details are wholly dependent on the individual you’re with, here are some winning combinations to ensure you begin on the right foot.  Humour It sounds like a cliché but clichés exist for a reason. Making a woman laugh is one of the first ways you can access some less guarded and uncomplicated moments with her.  People let go when they laugh, it’s difficult to restrain yourself when you find something genuinely funny and it’ll give you a window into who she is when she’s enjoying herself.   Humour also gives people the opportunity to put their unique spin on things, share their perspective of the world and demonstrate how they feel ...

 Relationships when they first begin can be all-consuming.  Couples want to spend every moment together, know everything about each other, love through the thick and thin, support through the amazing and the difficult times. It should come as no surprise in these situations, that familiarity can sometimes breed complacency.  Knowing someone this well can result in us assuming rather than asking questions and relying on past efforts, instead of continually pouring new energy and love into the partnership.  When the gloss of newness wears off it is sometimes an extremely slow event and before we know what’s happened, our connection to one another has all but evaporated.  If this is something you’ve experienced, or want to make sure never happens to you, our warning signs below may help you to better understand when and why an emotional reconnection is sometimes necessary. You Stopped Laughing Together or That’s All You Do Finding someone who makes you laugh, and w...
