RELATIONSHIPS
In today’s edition of “Ask Simply” I’m tackling one of the most basic dating questions:…
I started writing relationship posts a few years ago, but really picked up the pace…
When you think winter, your mind doesn’t immediately correlate that to feeling steamy (or does it?!) It’s cold outside, you are wearing more layers, you want to brave the less so ordering in and watching a Harry Potter marathon in your flannel pajamas seems like the least objectionable option for date night. I get it, because what I just described was my last Friday night. But winter doesn’t have to bury your love life with icicles, here are 6 ways to find the heat this winter…
If you’ve been in a long-term relationship it’s common for couples to retreat into a pattern of distance and disconnection. Wanna know what goes first? Intimacy. The reason is simple, as time goes on, life responsibilities take priority. You are more concerned about your career, your kids and yourself to worry about someone who pledged their life to be by yourself. And while it’s true that your partner may not be going anywhere, you can be a much better wife, husband, parent or general human being when you are in a happy home where you feel connected and supported. For that, you need intimacy.
I know what you are thinking and no… it’s more than that. True intimacy is the sense of fully knowing another person loving them as they truly are. It’s a deep honesty that requires you to be your most vulnerable self and connect with your partner both in and out of bed. Intimacy is a way to deepen your bond with your partner, and emotional intimacy can be the key to that. Here are 7 ways to boost intimacy in your relationship…
Have you heard of the ‘Girlfriend Tax’? I hadn’t. Well, at least until last week.…
The real question is: how true is the Olive Theory? I found the concept so simple, but profoundly interesting. When I sat down to actually write out my thoughts I was left stumped. Do I think opposites attract? Absolutely. But do I think you need to hate what your partner loves in order to be in sync? Absolutely not. . .
Whether it’s a summer fling turned serious or a long time coming, living together with your partner can be a whirlwind of emotions. Sleepovers with your best friend and milk and cookies for dessert. In fact, even the tedious things seem like they could be fun: cooking new meals together, you wash & I’ll rinse dish duty, hell – let’s take out the trash together!
There’s no denying that one of the biggest challenges in relationships and marriage is dishonesty. While both partners usually play a role in this, women are guilty of shoveling the blame to their partners. We always hear about how men lie and it got me curious about what women lie about. I asked over 300 women, and they dished. Here are the most common culprits. . .
I remember when I was younger and I watched this couple sitting near the window seats on a flight to Europe. I I was only 8 and my mom and I had a stopover on our way to Pakistan. The couple was mesmerizing. They laughed and giggled, slept on each other’s shoulder’s and even watched a movie together. I remember thinking that one day I was going to be able to travel with my soulmate and we would be borderline sappy. Fast forward more than 20 years and I feel so blessed to be able to travel with my husband often. I’d be lying if I said it was only fun & games. Traveling can cause stress and tension in relationships if you aren’t mindful of certain things. Here are the things you should focus on before you plan your next trip with your beau…
Today marks my two-year wedding anniversary I wanted to share some memories of the most amazing year that my husband and I have had. Sahir and I have together for 11 and a half years and happily married for only a short portion of that time. This past year has been…
