Good & Healthy Relationship Advice & Tips

It’s not easy to make long-term relationships work, but these tips should help make yours last at least 21 years and hopefully many more.

1. You need to know that those crazy-in-love feelings will meet real life someday.

This doesn’t mean they go away; this just means they have to be tamed. Walking around on Cloud Nine is awesome, until you can’t get anything done at work. Or until your significant other does something that really pisses you off. This is the first time we have a “judgement day” or “Is this what I want?” moment.

Retirement, a time when you give up your regular job, especially due to old age means different things to different people.

For some, it the best they ever had- time for adventure, deeper connection with dear ones, relaxation and opportunities. For others, it is a time of confusion, disappointment and desperation.

It is also a fact that most men suffer from retirement showdown because career is their primary focus of life. They, therefore, identify themselves with their work.

Things are going amazingly well with your new love. You get butterflies every time you’re together and you just know this will last forever.

Even your friends are starting to ask when you two are going to tie the knot. The possibility of building a life together is becoming more real each day. Then you get a phone call — or worse, a text — that things just aren’t working out. You never even saw it coming.

Well, maybe you just weren’t looking hard enough. There are a few subtle signs that could spell the end of your relationship.

Any man or woman who has dreamed of a future has probably created an image of what he or she would desire most in their partner. And most women have probably wished to be more desirable at some point.

While the world keeps hankering over what exactly are the characteristics of highly desirable women, the truth is that we can only speculate. The definition will keep evolving.

As someone who stands just under five feet, two inches, it's not difficult to meet a guy that surpasses me in terms of height. Usually it's a comfortable difference — a few inches at most, with his chin resting comfortably on my head.

Every once in a while, however, I find myself matched with a man who towers over my tiny frame. We're talking about a height that the highest of heels can't compensate for — at least a foot between the top of my head and his.

Maybe true love really does exist, you know? Despite the odds and everything. Maybe there's more to life than playing the field. Well, you can create your own relationship success by looking for the right traits in a woman instead of just swiping right on everyone on Tinder. Let's take a look at the top 10 things in a significant other that'll make for a lasting relationship.

10. She's Independent

No one gets into a relationship to be a babysitter. If she's had a rough day at work, it's great to be her shoulder to cry on. But if she can't seem to function without you, you'll eventually suffocate, and if you're smart you'll run for the nearest exit.

All marriages have their unique challenges. However,sometimes when you are doing your best for each other and enjoying a fulfilling relationship, issues outside your control may put your marriage at risk.

One such threats is the in-law factor. In Ghana, it is said to be a leading cause of divorce, fourth only to money, sex, children and parenting.

Back when I was in my early to mid-20s I was worried and concerned about getting married, but every attempt to create a stable, loving and committed relationship turned into an utter failure.

Based on what I've learned, here are four things to remember when you want to get married, but it's not happening:

Many of my friends are getting pregnant these days. Between that and the fact that my third wedding anniversary is coming up, I’ve been thinking about babies a lot lately.

As my husband and I discuss the logistics of growing our family, it’s hard not to worry about everything—money, my career, childcare, lack of sleep, and our marriage in general. After all, we've heard plenty about how having a baby can add stress to a relationship, but not so much about the rewarding ways in which things can change.

In order to give the positive relationship changes some airtime, I spoke to 10 women about how having a baby impacted their relationships…for the better.

Fans of the movie, The Princess Bride, will remember the scene where Westley and Buttercup are parting ways, and the princess wonders if she’ll ever see him again.

He says, “Hear this now: I will always come for you.” When she asks how she can be sure, Westley tells her, “This is true love—you think this happens every day?”

The first impression you make endures forever. And if you make a poor first impression, you may never have a chance to make another one.

Whether you are dating, applying for a job, or seeing a new potential customer, you can always improve in this area and make not just a good but a great first impression.

One man learned a very valuable lesson after cheating on his girlfriend: If you're going to be unfaithful, don't leave your appendages vulnerable to a fiery attack.After finding out that her man had slept with her co-worker, an unknown woman decided to get some payback - against the very body part he had strayed with.While he was sleeping, she snuck up on him, with a camera running, and set the underwear he was wearing on fire.

In a 30-second clip shared by Elite Daily, the man is seen fast asleep in a white bed wearing just underwear and a pair of high socks.

A woman, presumably his girlfriend or wife, whose face cannot be seen, carefully and quietly removes the blanket that is partially covering him.

A twenty-six-year-old man in Pennsylvania, USA, was Tuesday charged for violating a no-contact restraining order by allegedly liking 22 photos and videos on his ex-girlfriend's Facebook page.

Justin Bellanco, 26, allegedly threatened to shoot the woman's knee cap to "watch her suffer," according to the restraining order that was granted to the woman on July 28.

The Akans say sika ye mogya or money is blood of life. This is because money gives power, stability and necessities of life.

Simply put just as there can be no life without a healthy blood in circulation, your marriage without money can be miserable because almost everything in marriage has some bearing on money.

Very often it is easy to tell the rich from the poor. In Ghana, a poor young man is called ‘Kofi Brokeman’ while a young rich woman is called ‘cash madam’.
