Do You Love Him For Who He Is Today?

A very wise woman and friend of mine once shared the secret to her happy marriage.  She said something like this, “Every morning I wake up and fall in love with the man who is beside me.  It’s not the same man I went to sleep with.  For each day, he has grown and changed [...]

That Ever Illusive Intimate Connection

Submitted by: Erica Manfred Intimate connection = Soul Mate The idea of soul mates wasn’t much in vogue when I was doing personals dating back in the 70s.

Submitted by Delaine Moore So I broke up with someone last week – a single dad of two.   He’s the first man I’ve gone out with since divorcing that I contemplated getting serious with whatsoever.  But even though we got along brilliantly, even though he said he was crazy about me, one main thing deterred his interest: [...]

Bad Men Bring Us Gifts

Submitted by Delaine   Almost all women at some point in their lives attract a ‘bad man’; some of us marry him. And by ‘bad,’ I’m not simply referring to men who are drug lords, pimps, or wife abusers. No, “bad men” are men who don’ treat us and love us as wonderfully as we [...]
