And I stopped and thought about how these traditions come and stay. About how generations of children have celebrated religious heritages with bar/bat mitzvahs and christenings and baptism parties; about how American girls have Sweet Sixteen’s and how Latin girls have Quince’s. About weddings. And how these events occur just once in a lifetime. Once or twice in a family.

When infidelity is discovered, it can be difficult to know where to turn for help. With this in mind, I've tried to identify some online resources designed to help people cope with the discovery of infidelity.

A good look at the reality of relationships which take the socially approved path. The little spoken reality exists within women because they are intuitive yet they will still expect a man to figure out things for himself to lead the way. And if he's not that man, well..find out more on the power dynamics of seeking relationships.

A good and expansive overview of the relational dynamics between men, women, society and power that exists today. Within relational dynamics lies the key to resolving a man's inner fear and incongruencies around women and dating.

Words have the power to move the strongest of men in the world. Let the power of words strengthen your love life. Lovers often have taken the support of words to express their love. “It’s only words and word all I have to take your heart away”, the words from a famous song that have helped many lovers to express their love, proves the power of words.

I am no expert at love. The very word makes me nauseous and sets my body to a defensive mode. But I have had my heart broken once or twice. Badly. By some pathetic loser by the way. Lucky for me, I'm a quick learner. I made ridiculous mistakes of cosmic proportions and learnt a thing or two.

Some in-laws like to give out a lot of unasked for advice. They may tell you how to cook, what to wear, how to discipline the kids, How to budget your finances, etc. They may treat you as if you are still a child and don’t know any better. In-laws are older than us, but that does not necessarily mean they are wiser. Be respectful at all times, and take what you want and throw the rest out.

Some men take advantage of the 'men-are-as-old-as-they-think; women-are-as-old-as-they-look' saying. They 'know' that looks to women are like shells to snails – they will go to great lengths to preserve their youth (at least for their 'prince charming'!).

When a relationship lasts for a very long time the newness wears off, the excitement ebbs and that's just the way of things, right? I'm here to tell you it doesn't have to be that way. If you put in a little effort to keep your love life fresh and exciting, the passion need never wane!

Relationship is an art. It is a form of meditation. Why does one fall in love with another? Why are some connected with others? There could be dozens of reasons: conscious and unconscious. But regardless of intent, respect for each other begins when you understand what part of your partner cannot be changed - what is their natural way of life and how this differs from yours. This is such a vital ingredient to your life.

There is a big difference between pain and suffering. Pain is when you cut your hand. You don’t worry about your hand if you know it will get better. Suffering is when you’re not sure that your hand will heal, and you worry about what is going to happen. In relationship, pain comes and goes, and this is normal. Suffering in relationship comes when you hold back love because you are worried about whether your relationship will survive the pain.

When I look around and see...I see that many people are involved in multiple relations with opposite gender…either they are maintaining all relations at a time and one after another. I wonder, if this is a status symbol or side effects of globalization…a genuine need and just lust. You may wonder, why a HR Professional is discussing about such relations? Well, if such relations can exist in open…so, I don’t think there is any harm in discussing about it. Human Resource Department deals with Human Behaviour, Human Emotions, Human Values, Human Joys, Happiness and Human Sentiments…and in such relations we see all these emotions.

What is an anchor? And I am not referring to the nautical term. It is grounding yourself with a memory either positive or negative that reminds you of how you felt, what you did or what you believed when the anchor is thought of, touched, or focused on. Let me give you a positive and negative illustration of how an anchor is used.

Growing up can be really tough for adolescents in the United States. The media portrays perfect celebrities which many children feel dwarfed by, causing them to experience a poor self image.

Hard work is bad management. What is inspiration in the workplace? Thanks for this question. Truth is, there is no such thing as inspiration. You can't create it, do it or have it. You can’t cause it or lose it.

A common theme in my articles, on my website, and in my coaching practice is on needs. For our purposes we define a need as a condition requiring relief. There are quite obviously many needs that you meet on a daily basis. Hunger may be one of the first things to come to mind when we think of needs, however, this is more of a physical need and we want to focus on our emotional needs!

Bad management has so many, and far reaching consequences. Jenny woke tired. Her business was growing and the hours she was putting in demanded more and more of her time. She raised her head from the pillow, stumbled out of her now empty bed, and went to the kitchen. Still half asleep she put the kettle on for her morning cuppa and slowly walked to the bathroom. There on the floor were yesterday's clothes. She'd barely had the energy to slip from her work gear and climb into the bath to sip her chardonnay before bed, let alone pack her clothes away tidily.

One of the common marriage problems, which often materialises early on in a relationship, is boredom. Couples often find that after the honeymoon period is behind them and they have settled in to married life it isn’t quite the constant bed of roses that they imagined it to be.

When you were dating you carved out time for each other, no matter the pressures of everyday life. You could not fall in love without that time together. This begs the question; don’t you think to sustain that love that you must also make time for one another even now?

Lying: Obviously not a trait that one hopes for in a potential mate. Lying: A possible form of mistreatment in a relationship that can have you questioning you own sanity.

If there is one thing that can save all of us a lot of time, trouble and heartache it's learning how to read the body language of the opposite sex. How many times have you misread the body language of someone, thinking they were attracted to you and when you made your move you were shot down in flames!

Good relationships take work. I have witnessed many potential good relationships fail due too poor or ineffective communication, an inability to meet each other needs and by having unrealistic expectations of the relationship in general. The fact is, most of us don't know always know the things we can do to improve our relationships. Contrary to popular belief, its not always how much love you have for each other that can predict the success of your relationship, but ultimately it comes down to how conflicts and disagreements are handled.

Have you ever hit the wall of disillusionment in your relationship? Did you know it's a natural thing? Here is what to do when you hit the disillusionment wall.
