Does your partner love his cellphone more than you? Take this survey

Family fun on the road

Traveling with little ones can be tough, so make it easier on you by packing all of their essentials in one easily accessible bag.

It should include things like bottles, baby food, diapers, medicine and a change of clothes.

Depending on the age of the kids, have each child bring a small backpack filled with their toys and goodies for the ‘flight’. (Their school bags would do, actually). Before leaving home, load these in one big travel bag designated for the children.

Ten ‘Golden Rules’ for a new relationship

Ten rules to help smooth the road with your new beau. Common sense? Yes. Commonly practiced? No.

The beginning of a relationship can be a tricky course to navigate. Guys (like me) aren't that great at guessing what women think or want and our stupidity often lead to otherwise easily avoidable arguments.

6 Signs that you are not yet ready for a new relationship

For many, the best way to get over a break up and move on is to jump into another relationship. However, this could be a mistake as you are still emotionally vulnerable and could be a victim for a more devastating situation. Carrying on a relationship requires some emotional stability and inner strength to keep on going. As they say, a relationship can never be like being single because it is a full-time job. Don’t sweat it out. Wait and be prepared for the real thing when it comes.

It shouldn’t matter where or who one marries.

Why ‘burgers’ marry from home

Ghanaians love to travel and live anywhere on our planet; from Alaska to Papua New Guinea. 

On a lighter note, it is said that the chief vulcaniser in Iceland is a Ghanaian.

A significant thing is that Ghanaians abroad, irrespective of their social class and family back-ground, love to be identified completely as Ghanaians even if they hold foreign citizenship. 

They see their stay abroad merely as an adventure to bring a fortune to, as the Akans put it, where their umbilical cords were cut and buried.

Today, Ghanaians abroad get every Ghanaian food item you can think of.  They read Ghanaian newspapers and listen to news. They hear of events in Ghana faster than some of us do. 

Again, if you ever attended a Ghanaian funeral abroad, you might think it was happening right in my home town, Obomeng – Kwahu.  You see red or black Ghanaian cloths and pouring of libations. 

You will hear Ghanaian indigenous songs, donations and long announcem

The 10 "Golden Rules" of being in a new relationship

The beginning of a relationship can be a tricky course to navigate. Guys (like me) aren't that great at guessing what women think or want and our stupidity often lead to otherwise easily avoidable arguments. Setting basic rules with your new flame may help you get past the small stuff and start enjoying your lives together.

Here are ten guidelines to smooth the road with your new beau:

1. P.D.A. regulation. People have different comfort levels when it comes to couples behaviour in public.  Find the line (holding hands, smooching, and heated necking on the subway platform) and don't cross it. 

2. One day a week. Decide on one day every week you can spend together, no one else invited. Everyone's buys; designating together-time is healthy for any relationship.

3. No suffocation. Being together is great; acting like conjoined twins is not. Respect each other's space and don't take it so seriously if he a

Breaking up can be good for you

 When you’re considering breaking up with your significant other, it’s easier to think about the reasons you shouldn’t over the reasons you should. There’s a certain level of comfort that comes along with being in a relationship, even when it’s not a great one: you always have someone to talk to or hang out with, you have a date to events, you have someone who makes you feel less lonely, and you don’t have to deal with being single.

The 14 best moments in every relationship

1. The first time you hang out one-on-one. Nothing is more exciting than letting out all your pent-up crush energy on a first date. It's almost as big a deal as your potential wedding day in terms of stories you'll have to tell over and over. PRO TIP: Don't bring up potential weddings on the first date.

2. That first awkward, nervous pause right before your first kiss. Your first kiss says, "I like hanging out with you, but I also want to make out with you all the time. Let's take this to the next level."

3. The first time you bone. Well, hopefully your first time was a great moment. And if not, you're a very selfless person for sticking with them. 

4. The first time you stay the night instead of abruptly peacing-out like Cinderella the second it hits 2 a.m. Especially if you usually run off into the night immediately after coitus. Well, maybe hobble into the night while trying to put on your

9 Types of people who will never get married

As surprising as it may seem, not everybody wants to get married. There are certain types of people who are not marriage material because they will never make great, dedicated partners. If you have reservations about your partner, it’s best to address them now to save yourself from heartache down the road. Sadly, so many of us marry these types of people anyway (the ones we have reservations about) and find out later, rather than sooner, that we shouldn’t have married them to begin with. Sometimes, you just have to go with your gut.

Maybe more of us are listening to our guts and opting not to marry those who we know aren’t really marriage material. According to Pew Research, as reported by Time, 25% of millennials will never get married, and the research organization predicts that more and more folks under the age of 35 will be single forever. So why aren’t people getting married anymore? According to the data, there are three main reasons people gave for their singleness: 3

6 Signs of a confident and successful man

Some people have just got it and some don’t. At least, that’s how it seems sometimes. But the truth is, a person who often experiences success in life more often than not can attribute his good fortune to more than just luck. In one way or another, many people in our lives who are confident and successful are this way for a reason, and we’re not talking about being the recipient of a hefty trust fund, either. Here are a few habits from everyday men who work hard and earn their way to the top, whether it be at the office or in relationships.

1. Plan for the future

It’s easy to resign yourself to the notion of keeping up with the Jones’, especially if your group of friends tends to enjoy a less-than-frugal lifestyle. However, don’t get caught up in the who’s-who competition, as this will rarely accomplish much of anything except draining your bank account.

2. Be responsive and available

Don’t act like you are too busy o

The most important purpose of marriage is companionship.

Thinking of marrying again?

Today, marriage has become a very risky investment with many casualties. Global studies show 60 per cent of all marriages break down with victims cutting across different ages, tribe, profession, academic qualifications, length of marriage and religious beliefs.

After loss of marriage, the idea of remarriage lingers on the mind of most people. Global studies show about 80 per cent of partners who lose their first marriage, remarry at least once.

The popular film actress and beauty of blessed memory, Elizabeth Taylor for example, married seven times.

Why some do not marry again

Most people realise the hurts and disappointments in marriage and think they have had enough and must have their peace. Some think they are not lucky in marriage. Others think they are too old to remarry and that, after children there is nothing left in marriage.

Some widows think they must preserve the memories of their lovers who have passed on, while

How to be a nice boyfriend

 Being a nice boyfriend begins with being a nice person. If you're a nice person who treats people well, you're probably a nice boyfriend. If you're not, then you shouldn't be anyone's boyfriend until you've mastered this key life skill.

You need to be more than just nice in your relationship, though. You need to make sure your girlfriend never feels like she's taken for granted.

Ten Smart ways to be closer than ever in a long-distance relationship

A long-distance relationship doesn't have to be a dealbreaker. With a little effort and a lot of love, you can make your relationship work with these tips.

1. Visit, but not just each other. Visit each other's homes.

Seeing each other is key, so regular visits are a necessity. But, be sure to stay at each other's homes instead of just taking vacation weekends together. Vacations are great, but they don't give us any insight into our partner's daily life. As I previously mentioned, intimacy develops from a deep sense of familiarity with your partner — this familiarity starts at home.
