What is mine is yours, and yours is mine - is it not?

July 30th 2008 06:49

Most people have different attitudes about money. So, when two people get into a relationship, the money aspect can get a little more complex than anticipated. It’s probably fine, when you don’t live together (yet) and one can’t quite see how the other spends the money – but boy, can it be a big surprise for some when they start a household together

Fair-weather friends?

We have (and have had) friendships – and probably realise that friendships come in a variety of shapes, sizes and dynamics. What makes some friendship last (a long time), and what makes some friendship slowly fizzle away

The breaking-point

December 11th 2007 10:19

I recently had the unpleasant experience of seeing a couple who’ve been together for over 20 years separate, and it appears that it is irreconcilable and a divorce is in the works.

At what price $$$

November 4th 2007 07:32
wedding cake decoration

At the mention of weddings, eyes light up - no, not only the would-be bride...but also the florist, caterer, dressmaker and the rest of the cast of a typical wedding. Weddings can costs from just hundreds of dollars to millions! It doesn’t have to cost that much, but it usually does.

Is it ever too BIG?

November 1st 2007 01:54
diamond engagement ring

It all began years ago when gold rings were traded as currency, and later evolved into a piece of jewellery and the all important symbol of a man’s love, affection and intention. These days before you out the cash for that piece of *bling*, you’re expected to know or rather be aware of the four Cs – color, clarity, cut, and carat weight.

The proposal...

October 24th 2007 08:02
wedding rings bands

I guess there are many ways to propose – from the usual romantic to some left-field ideas like adventurous, humorous or just plain unusual, you just need to tap into the creative left reserve of your brain. Just make sure your soon-to-be wife or husband is on the same wavelength as you, and would be wow-ed by your efforts.

Who does the asking?

October 22nd 2007 09:28
plane in heart love cloud

*It* is going well…and you’ve realised you can’t spend the rest of your lives without each other. It is THE time to ask but who does the asking? Traditionally, the would-be groom asked the would-be bride’s father for permission before asking the would-be bride. However, times have changed, and majority do not particularly go through those traditions.

Single, Attached...is there a *greener* side?

September 27th 2007 21:44
gender symbols male female signs

Typically singles would like to be coupled-up. The idea of a good constant companion and someone to grow grey with, along with the white picket fence has been the picture perfect scenario exploited to the max by corporations selling from insurance to food. So why isn’t singlehood celebrated as such?

Can the bar be too HIGH?

September 13th 2007 03:11

Past relationships can shape how we feel and what we look for in future relationships. Good or bad, past relationships imprint on our minds (and hearts) with various thoughts and feelings. While it may not be obvious, it probably is tucked away in some part of our brain - all ready to be drawn out when a similar experience/feeling presents itself.

Most of us were taught to have goals and objectives ever since we could make our own decisions. Usually starting as goals and objectives relating to studies and career, these then transitioned to goals relating to personal life – i.e. marital status, lifestyle, assets, etc.
