You may have heard the phrase, "Grow up!" from a loved one. A statement such as this is normally said during an argument or after one has said or done something that appears childish or ridiculous. You may have used this statement while disputing with your partner or vice versa. There comes a point in any new relationship where couples begin to evaluate whether their partners are mature enough to be in a relationship.   You may have experienced far too many arguments lately with a woman years younger than you. You noticed frequent emotional outbursts over the littlest of things that to any outsider would be considered "no big deal," but to your partner, it's the end of the world.   When her actions and reactions start trickling outside of the bedroom and into the car, in front of relatives at an event or witnessed by strangers on the street, then you know you have a serious problem on your hands! Are these outbursts sincerely legitimate or childish t

Good friends like good men are hard to find. There are seasonal friends, the kind that come into your life for a season. They are there for the transition in jobs, the relationship that goes sour, the project that needs to be completed, or the new job you started. Yet, they may leave your life, because their services are no longer needed or you can no longer benefit them. But good friends, they are the ones that are there for you through all seasons. They not only will call you on the phone, take you out in good times and in bad, but send you money whether you asked for it or not, offer to help you even if you insist they don’t and so much more! Good friends usually outlast marriages, are there through the death of loved ones, and support you even when your own family won’t. So what do you have to do to have a friendship that stands the test of time? One. Take the time to communicate. So many valuable friendships are lost because people get to busy in their lives

There are some very important things you may want to discuss with your future roommate to avoid possible problems. One. Money. If you were told that the rent would be split in half each month upon move in or some other arrangement had been made, then you may want to get anything said in writing. You can do this simply by texting or sending an email asking that your roommate just confirm the agreement. For example, you may say something like, “So when we spoke last time about rent, I wanted to be sure you said that you would be paying me… or I would be paying you…” This is an informal way to get your arrangement in writing, but it would be best to get a formal agreement with both parties’ signatures present on the document. You will also include other things that you are expected to pay as well. Some people will even have

He may have officially proposed to you or gave you a promise ring. You may have talked to him about marriage and he may have seemed very interested until you had a first, second, third or more argument. Then things changed, they changed so much that you are now considering a break up. What did you fail to see during those “I’m so in love” days? What promises did he tell you that made you want to stay with him despite having second-thoughts? What promises did he break to make you want to leave?   Men will typically make promises early in the relationship because that is their sale pitch to keep you interested. “If I say and do all the right things,” he thinks. “Then maybe she won’t be interested in anyone else but me.” So he does everything right and wins you over. In time, things gradually go downhill for no particular reason it just happens in many relationships, but it does pick back up again when you are working at it. Now you may still be interested in him, but
