Are you willing to be different than most. Great partners in relationships are willing. And they have a better life than most. They wake up and go to bed feeling better than the people who only make half hearted efforts towards the one they supposedly love. Mark Webb, Licensed Marriage Therapist returns with another excerpt from his bestselling book, How To Be A Great Partner.

It's a red date and you want your dear ones to feel the warmth of your greetings. Your problem is you’re running out of time to go out and buy them presents. You hardly can pick a nice card to say what you feel since you are too preoccupied with work and won't allow you to be away even a minute.

I recently read a study that indicated that 91% of all people in relationships were not happy. Now I can't tell you if this percentage is true, if it is an accurate portrayal of the average relationship or an exaggeration to get people’s attention. I don't know the details or particulars of the study as they were not given in very much depth. But the fact remains, that if 91% of the people surveyed felt this way, can we assume that many other people in general who were not surveyed are not happy as well? I don’t like to make assumptions but this number is really scary.

At the social, time is the most important resource you will have. Your short-term goal is to meet as many women as possible at the social. Keep your predefined personal criteria forefront in your mind as you approach them.

The wandering man is a real problem for many women. A man can feel challenged by other women, afraid of how close your relationship is turning, and a man can also feel unneeded or unwanted at home.

There you were, deeply involved in a relationship. It may have been stormy or you may have thought everything was running smoothly. Then it happened: Your significant other no longer wanted to be your significant other...

There were likely several reasons the theory behind the original “Marriage Crunch” article failed. The author stated in the original text that a woman over thirty had a very small chance of ever getting married if she hadn’t already been. This was in the 80s however and a lot transpired after the article was written.

The statistics on relationships are depressing: in California alone, the average marriage lasts just 5 years. Nationwide, 43% of marriages end within 15 years. Second and third marriages end in divorce 60-70% of the time. Clearly, how we handle our relationships is not working. And yet, 94% of young adults in one study said that having a good marriage is extremely important to them. So, what can you do?

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...
