Anyone who has had a relationship broken miserably in the past knows that moving on is a very difficult thing to do. It’s even harder when the ex is still around for you to see and hear about. Let’s not forget the child or children you have between while you were still together. That can be too complicated.
Many couples enter a relationship without a shred of doubt that theirs might end up someday. To me it’s practical to invite the thought because I see that in this life nothing is permanent. It has been proven over and over again. A relationship ends miserably because of the stubborn idea that it may still work out in the end. I think that this behavior is silly and childish. Relationships should be matured enough to face unforeseen circumstances for breaking up. This way ex couple can still be civil with each other and still maintain some form of friendship between them. This is also very helpful if they have a child or children between them. Continue…

So much had been said about “Quality Time”…. “it’s not the quantity but the quality of time spent together, honey!. Let’s have something to drink while I make dinner, dear? Then we’ll talk about how our days went…. but first, can you pass me the olive oil first?”
Did the world change so much that we can’t have a few hours with our love ones any longer? It’s true that we don’t have as much time as we used to have. Usually after the honeymoon stage is over. 
It’s as if all relationships after a certain period of time, relax into something more comfortable. This is a good thing but on the other hand it is in this stage that couples tend to lose sight of romance. Dating gave way to laundry and roses gave way to vacuum cleaning every Tuesday. And the hugs… dissipated to snoring! Continue…

Khalil and I had an hour long conversation about this. I told him that in these parts of the world, women still value virginity. The woman’s purity is the best gift that a she can give to her husband. The Bible not only teaches and guides Christians on how to live life, it’s also very sacred because it carries the words of God. But not all women are Christians. And not all Christians believe in saving oneself to only one. Continue…

I have to respond to what Diday said. First, let me just say that most of us men are wired a certain way when it comes to either being Mr. Right, or finding Ms. Right. There is no Mr. or Ms. Right. Not at first anyway. Of course, we all have that hope that the woman we have become infatuated with is Ms. Right. But when we see and feel a woman, she is literally Ms. Right Now. Continue…

Every relationship starts out pretty hopeful. You can’t seem to get enough of each other. Always kissing. Always hugging. Sweet, right? Some women, if not most, always hope that “he might be the one”. This sentiment is not exclusive to women. Men have the same hopes too, believe it or not. But let’s talk about women for now.
How can you tell a Mr. Right from a Mr. Right Now? You can’t. At least not right away. Oh yes, there are lines that men put out there that sound so idiotic. Only a very very slow mind can’t pick up the play. Or worse, an infatuated mind can’t see through the shallowness of the whole act. For some of the Mr. Right Nows, hooking up with women is considered a sport. An insincere courtship that leads to a short and meaningless relationship. By the time the woman wakes up and sees the game for what it is it’s sometimes too late. Continue…

A lot of us sometimes find ourselves stuck in a relationship thats somehow in a serious rut. You want to go right, they want to go left. You say yes, they say no. And for no reason other than just to piss you off. This is a negative relationship. But where do we draw the line? At what point do we know that it’s time to cut the ties that bind in a relationship? There’s often no big event that will let you say ‘that’s it! I’m out!’ Usually, it’s a slow grind, a non-significant significance of daily small events that make you crazy. It’s the negative tone of conversation, or the realization over dinner that makes you say to yourself what the hell was I thinking when I got into this relationship?
Well, enough is enough when you feel you have had enough. Continue…

“Men are afraid of commitment or at least have the reputation of fearing commitment”. It’s equal across the board…women do fear being committed for different reasons. Men’s fear is what they commit to will turn out to be different than what was presented. So many times we hear of women changing after marriage into a someone they weren’t before, and that is frightening to men. Women fear committing to different things. Basically, men fear not having options, women fear having them. Is this the general idea of the fear of being committed? Does that mean that men want the women they’re committed to not to change? We all know that women have the reputation of wanting their men to change when they’re married or committed. Continue…

There are days when you and your partner are not on the same vibe. Somehow this is more apparent when the couple has been together for quite sometime already. New relationships often try to make allowances of each other’s shortcomings. But not for those who had some years between them. No sir! Tensions between couples like these are quite normal. I’ve seen my parents go at each all these years. It’s not surprising anymore. In fact, it always irked me when after their argument I’ll find them in a corner very sweet to each other. All that worry for nothing! I’ve witnessed the same thing with other couples who had spent years and decades together. Continue…

I never knew there was such thing as “Dating Status” until a few weeks ago. I didn’t know such term exists. At least I learned something new that day. Come to think of it, it all makes sense. There are men and women who date exclusively and there are some who date more than one person at one time. Continue…

I’m sitting here chatting with Diday, and I’m thinking about how lucky those of us that are in a relationship are. Our families, our children, our pets even. We all have relationships, no matter what the type or degree of relationship. We are blessed to have them. Any or all of them. Let’s take time to be grateful for what we have, no matter what our relationship aspirations are. We have much to be thankful for. I am so grateful for all the friendships I have, the love I have in my life, and even though I have many challenges I am facing right now, God is good to me, and I am unashamedly grateful for His love. Sometimes I get a bit crazy with all the turmoil in my life. I am starting a new business, Diday and I are trying to make some things happen for ourselves as a couple as well, she has a business she is running, and our families can drive us both crazy at times but all is still good. With love in our life, a song in our hearts, and God on our side, nothing can take us off of our square. Life is good, whether we acknowledge it or not! Let’s all take a moment to show gratitude for the beautiful life we have, complete with all the challenges. Life is Good!
One Love,
Khalil
