The strongest contributor to individual character development is the family unit. You may have spent years trying to change, eliminate, or copy the influence of certain members of your family unit-consciously or unconsciously. Consequently, if anger is part of your familys culture, you have probably noticed that it tends to spread itself to future generations. The wider it has spread, the more difficult it is to contain. Take a look at the way members of your family relate with o... more...

Some things that happen in relationships such as an affair can cause one not to trust the other partner. This may be a good reason not to trust your partner.

Wow the date is beginning to edge ever nearer and amongst the excitement you need to plan everything to make sure the special day is a success. The fiance had her dress arranged for her when she was six. She planned it with her friends in primary school and has been constantly revising and refining her choice ever since. Well that's great for her isn't it? But the likelihood is that you haven't spent the last 20 years of your life planning what you were going to wear. The problem ... more...

While children bring great happiness, they also ensure that the lifestyle of their parents is turned on its head. While earlier you may have had the time to nurture your relationship as a couple, once the children arrive, this effectively takes a back seat. All the passion and fire that once was the envy of your acquaintances disappears under stacks of nappies. A child demands constant attention, which leaves very little time for the partner. Even if you somehow happen to find the time, you will... more...

When even the advice offered by family or well-meaning friends does not really help you feel any better. Getting professional help i... more...

Most guys think that the wedding is the domain of the bride. That may have been true in the past, but more brides are expecting their prospective grooms to get more involved in the planning and execution of such a special day in both their lives. The most important thing for the groom to remember is that this is a day that his bride has dreamed about for a long time. She wants everything to be just perfect, so the closer the wedding day gets, the more nervous she may become. Though she ma... more...

As far as Romania marriage is concerned, before saying "I do", the young generation of Romanians has to take some preliminary exams like the career test, a test of communication with the partner and finally the "living under the same roof" test. A marriage that comes after a few months of a relationship (each is staying with parents) has a big shot of a premature disaster, to the disappointment of the partners involved. A mature relationship, where most subjects have been ... more...

Marriage is in general a challenge for both partners, but marriage to Romanian women can be more than that, because you do not know them very well, or you do not know them at all. Suppose you have found the woman with whom you would like to spend your whole life. What are you doing next? Are you getting married or are you going to test your compatibility?

Many of our greatest problems arise from the fact that people insist upon doing what is contrary to their own self interest. This is true even in marriage. However, there are several questions you should consider to ensure that you remain happy and healthy throughout your marriage. Poor choices in marriage result not only from bad judgment, or the deceitfulness of glamour and romance. They also can express distress of the personality. We can see this distress fairly clearly in marriage ... more...

Our American domestic difficulties result in part from an inadequate emphasis before marriage upon probable parenthood, and a relative lack of stress upon and preparation for its responsibilities when it comes. We seem to assume constantly that marriage is for two (or really one plus one), and the complicating fact is that it is so - for a while. But for a while only. Then, normally, the term marriage gives way to that of the family, which is for three or more. So many, too many, of our ... more...

One of the important questions we need to resolve from the beginning of a break-up is what part we played in causing the break-up of the relationship. More often than not, our response is not really the true answer. Rarely, does a relationship end because one person suddenly did or said something unforgivable. Often, relationships end because they are no longer convenient and convenience is one reason some people remain in a relationship. How often we hear about a break-up and the first ... more...

We may remind ourselves at the beginning that interviewing and counseling are, or should be, reciprocal relationships between two people "for the benefit of o... more...

Ukraine is a country with a long and rich history during which a variety of customs developed, including Ukrainian marriage traditions.

Since marriage for Ukrainian ladies is one of the biggest and mos... more...
