Holiday Stress and Divorced Parenting
'Tis the season to be thankful, in another month to be jolly, and, if you're still not convinced, a whole new year right around the corner to try again if things don't work out for you through this year's holiday season! Holiday times for children of newly divorced parents are often the toughest time of year. They often have strong emotional attachments to days gone by when Mom, Dad, their brothers and sisters and they all cheerfully ate too much turkey and sang off-key holiday carols together. Remember that your joy in being away from what became an unbearable situation for you leading to a divorce may not have registered with your children, who are still in denial and are hurt, angry, and depressed.

Encourage Your Spouse and Build a Relationship That Lasts
It seems that in our society it has come to be expected that women will
get together and criticize their husbands and boyfriends and men will
get together and put down their wives and girlfriends. Everyone has to
have a few sarcastic comments to fling at their partner, especially
when there is an audience around to laugh at their expense. We tend to
tear down the very person we claim to love. I think it has become so
common in our society that sometimes people don’t even realize they are
doing it.

Who Are Men-scams?
We often talk a lot about women-scams. These ladies meet men in the Internet and start telling they are absolutely empty and need so much!… Mother is gonna have an operation, father needs a new wheelchair, sister cannot continue her education and brother is desperate to start his own busyness (of course in a year it is going to grow up and you are certain to have your interests, trust her!), and she… she is modest and needs nothing, perhaps, except... payment for using Internet, translator service, visa, plain ticket...

Super Relationship Tips: Create A Memorable Non-Occasion
The admen and the marketing mavens have created a cultural expectation around special occasions and calendar events. We are inundated with sales pitches for Christmas, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, New Year, Halloween, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and any other day they can find that will make us feel that we absolutely have to buy a gift to express our sentiments.
Dates on the calendar are merely days like any other days. Our relationships are 365 days a year and something this good deserves a celebration at any time and at any place.
