Justinjade I think your boyfriend does not feel the urgent need at all to get married since you both are happily together without the legal union. One thing you could probably do is ask him what his views are regarding marriage, that would give you an idea on his take...

Justinjade Thank you... it has been that way for the last 6 years! The funny thing about it is that we don't talk about it, it just occurred naturally... I am sure this relationship will last because it is based on something deep and meaningful... I hope you guys have...

If you were in a relationship with someone and they had a few kids by different people and each person bought drama to your relationship for whatever reasons would you look at that as a challenge? regardless of how you feel about...

Justinjade I'd like to add: MATURITY plays a major factor in this kind of relationship. When I say maturity, it doesn't mean you have to be old, it means you have to be wise enough and patient enough to not be affected by the drama and to stay calm amidst the flood of...

Justinjade Well, I would say that it would take a lot of patience, understanding, a whole lot of good humor and unconditional love to make it through all the challenges of having "step-kids". Also, the couple MUST have that deeper sense of maturity and selflessness in...

Justinjade The question is: How important is the extra money for you? If that would mean putting food on the table and paying bills, in short if it is very very important, then I say sacrifices have to be made. But please make sure that your daughter is in safe and able...

Justinjade I speak from the other side of the fence. I have four kids from different fathers, my life was a real mess before, being in abusive relationships was the norm for me, which ultimately left me with all the drama and heartaches. Fortunately, life changed when my...

Justinjade My husband and I usually sit on a bath under a running warm shower just rubbing each other's backs and feeling the quiet moment together with only the sound of water falling on our heads. It makes us feel so relaxed and feel as if all our worries are being...

This is an offshoot from my friend's discussion. Have you ever put nail shines on your partner's toe? Or if you are girl, do your spouse put on nail polish on your nails? I ask this because, one of my friends finds...

My fiancee just turned 50 last month and I turned 32 in October. He remarked to me that in your head you never really feel any different than you did when you were 20 or 25. Surprisingly he is right. My aging seems to sneak up on...

Justinjade My spouse is younger than me by 5 years but he displays more of the old age symptoms. He is more worrisome about his age which is 35 that's why he felt more of the pains and aches. My guess is maybe it's really a state of mind. I often get surprised when I...

Justinjade I totally agree with Myrrdin. It has to be balanced. However, there are certain talents that can be developed if the child is truly interested in it. I am speaking for myself, because when I was 7 I remember announcing to my family that I would become a...

Justinjade You were not being overprotective. you were just being a mom, after all who is the adult here? maybe what you can do is lessen her exposure to such things like television/media etc. Five year olds can still be persuaded and molded into becoming who you think...
