10 LOVE QUOTES THAT WOULD SPICE UP YOUR WEEKEND

Love quotes are usually special; one good thing about a good love quote is its deep meaning which can leave one pondering about the weight of its message.
Every good love quote comes with a special effect and I have some deep quotes about love everyone in a relationship should ponder on this weekend.
1. “Love cannot be found where it doesn’t exist nor can it be hidden where it does” -the movie, “kissing a fool”
2. Love is a sweet melody sung by two.
3. “True love is the capability of facing and accepting your partner’s imperfections and loving him/her still perfectly.” -Dianne Grace Demegillo
4. “In love, you shouldn’t only share kisses, you should share problems; you should always tell your partner first no matter what because it’s not healthy for the relationship if your partner would know about your problems through other people… it hurts…I know.”  -Dianne Grace Demegillo

5 THINGS NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED

Before you get married, people probably told you that you were making the best decision of life. The truth is they were right but that isn’t the only thing they should have told you about marriage. No one tells you how awkward being married could be or the many other challenges you have to go through.
Below are 8 things about being married no one ever told you
1. CONFLICT IS PART OF BEING MARRIED
If you got married thinking you would have no conflicts, then you should think again. The truth is conflicts are a healthy part of marriage and there is nothing you can do to avoid it. Managing conflicts is key in every marriage as having conflicts is inevitable.  Selflessness and sacrifice is needed to manage conflicts in every marriage.
2. YOU NEED SOME ALONE TIME
Just because you are married doesn’t mean everything starts and ends with your spouse. You still need to have a life of your own, pursue your own interests too as long as you don’t do it at the expense of your marriage. Just because you are married doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have hobbies, still create out time to enjoy your hobbies.
3. SOMETIMES YOU LOOK AT THE PERSON YOU GOT MARRIED TO AND ASK IF THIS IS REALLY FOREVER
Sometimes you wake up in the morning and ask yourself if this is really forever. The truth is some days you wonder why you were in a hurry to get married. What you should realise in such moments is that marriage isn’t as rosy as you see them in the movies. You should realise in such moments that marriage isn’t a destination; it’s a journey filled with equal parts excitement and tedium.
4. S*X ISN’T EVERYTHING
When you were dating, s*x was everything and it was something you could more than five times every day but it’s different in marriage. S*x becomes so much fun during marriage and awesome too but you might not even have the time to go five times as you did while dating. While s*x is important in every marriage, you should realise it isn’t everything. Sexless periods are a natural part of married life and that doesn’t mean your partner no longer loves you.
5. YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT WORK
No one would make your marriage work but you and there is one other thing you also need to know, you would work harder than you thought to keep your marriage. Ask any couple in every successful marriage how they made it work and they would all tell you the same thing, hard work is necessary. When you are married, you have to learn each other the same way that you once learned mathematics in school and you never stop learning about your spouse.
Marriage isn’t a bed of roses but you could still make it as enjoyable as possible, it all depends on you and your partner.

8 TRUTHS MOST MEN WOULD HATE TO HEAR FROM A LADY

They say the truth is bitter but it has to be told; there are so many things that might be true but men would hate when it has to come from their partner, this is exactly the reason why most times some women keep certain things from their man but would tell it to their friends as they solicit for advice on what to do.
The male ego is quite a huge ego and anything that might not boost the male ego could hurt it. Men love being kings, we love it when we are deemed to be good at what we do and anything other than that might have a pernicious effect on the male ego.
However, I must say that this doesn’t apply to all men out there but a lot of men would feel a snag on their ego if they are told some of these truths.
1. TERRIBLE IN BED
Every man wants his lady to see him as the king of the jungle as far as sex and love making are concerned, men pride in the fact that they can ensure that their lady gains satisfaction when in the sheets. When you make it clear to a man that he isn’t good in the act, it might have a detrimental effect on his ego; men love it when their act is applauded and not the other way round.
2. I’M NOT ATTRACTED TO YOU  
When words like these hurt is when a man is trying to woo a lady and she makes it clear to him that she isn’t attracted to him especially in a direct and precise way; this would definitely have a pernicious effect on him. On the lady’s part, she might be saying the truth but on the man’s part; it hurts.
3. MY FRIENDS DON’T REALLY LIKE YOU
This would hurt when a man is trying to woo a lady. There is this underground rule men understand, men know that to win a lady’s heart, he also most times have to win the heart of her friends; if her friends see you as the enemy then you might never win that war. So when a man is made aware of the fact that her friends don’t see him as an ally then it could hurt.

5 ROMANCE BOOKS YOU SHOULD READ THIS WEEK

For those that read romance books, you would agree with me that there is nothing like it. It’s a new week and I have got a collection of romance books that would thrill you and spark that desire to be loved in you.
Below are 5 romance books you should read this week
1. PREDATOR’S FIRE

When Nina Suzuki discovers the body of her best friend Janine, her world turns upside down. Things go from bad to worse when Janine’s corpse seems to transform into that of a large, brown wolf. For the first time, Nina is faced to confront all the clues indicating her BFF was not what she seemed. A letter from the dead woman opens Nina’s eyes to a strange, new world. The same letter warns of a sinister group called the Alpha Brethren, and urges her to find Killian Moon of the Ursa Fishing Lodge and Resort on Gemini Island.
Killian Moon is a jaguar shifter and teen mentor at the Ursa Lodge in Northern Ontario. He may be a comfort and inspiration to confused teen shifters, but he also has a fiery past. His past comes back to haunt him when human Nina arrives at the resort, demanding to speak with him. Demanding answers. Can he trust her with knowledge that will not only change her life, but possibly endanger those around him?
As Killian begrudgingly tutors Nina on all things shifter, their mutual curiosity flares into passionate need. Once they touch, once they succumb to desire, there is no going back. Killian realizes Nina is his mate and they both begin to comprehend the terror threatening those on their shifter-friendly island. He is forced to confront the tragedy in his family and determines to protect Nina at all costs.
But can they protect everyone they love from a cult of dangerous shifters, intent on horror and destruction?
2. ROGUE SPY

For years he’d lived a lie. It was time to tell the truth . . . even if it cost him the woman he loved.
Ten years ago he was a boy, given the name Thomas Paxton and sent by Revolutionary France to infiltrate the British Intelligence Service. Now his sense of honor brings him back to London, alone and unarmed, to confess. But instead of facing the gallows, he’s given one last impossible assignment to prove his loyalty.
Lovely, lying, former French spy Camille Leyland is dragged from her safe rural obscurity by threats and blackmail. Dusting off her spy skills, she sets out to track down a ruthless French fanatic and rescue the innocent victim he’s holding—only to find an old colleague already on the case. Pax.
Old friendship turns to new love, and as Pax and Camille’s dark secrets loom up from the past, Pax is left with a choice—go rogue from the Service or lose Camille forever….
3. ELITE

For Tracey Rooks, life with her grandparents on a Wyoming farm has always been simple. But after her grandmother’s death, Tracey is all her grandfather has. So when Eagle Elite University announces its annual scholarship lottery, Tracey jumps at the opportunity to secure their future and enters. She isn’t expecting much-but then she wins. And life as she knows it will never be same . . .
The students at Eagle Elite are unlike any she’s ever met . . . and they refuse to make things easy for her. There’s Nixon, gorgeous, irresistible, and leader of a group that everyone fears: The Elect. Their rules are simple. 1. Do not touch The Elect. 2. Do not look at The Elect. 3. Do not speak to The Elect. No matter how hard she tries to stay away, The Elect are always around her and it isn’t long until she finds out the reason why they keep their friends close and their enemies even closer. She just didn’t realize she was the enemy — until it was too late.

9 REASONS A LYING PARTNER IS AS BAD AS A CHEATING PARTNER

So many people look at a cheating partner with much disdain; their act is perceived with disgust and like the worst thing that could happen in a relationship, but I think cheating is terrible but it’s equivalent to a partner that also can’t do without lying.
A lying partner shares so many characteristics with a cheating partner, the weight of their acts pass same effect on their partner.
I would share six reasons why a lying partner is just as bad as a cheating partner.
1. THEY BOTH HURT
Lies hurt; the effect of lies could sting a partner in the heart .Lies and cheating leaves the same seed and after effect in the heart of a partner. Same way it would hurt to find out that your partner cheats is the same way it would hurt when you find out that your partner is a deceitful person and deceitful to everyone including you; it’s never a good feeling.
2. A LYING PARTNER IS ALSO NOT TRUSTWORTHY
You can never trust a cheating partner; but how about a lying and deceitful partner? Can you trust a lying partner? A lying partner as well cannot be trusted; lies and unfaithfulness breed through same channels and leave being untrustworthy as its seed.
3. THEY ARE INTERTWINED
A cheating partner lies and a lying partner could probably cheat; a cheating partner would tell a lie to cheat and a lying partner could as well cheat and tell a lie; there is no much difference between both but they share a lot of similarities.

6 QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK YOURSELF BEFORE YOU PROPOSE TO HER

Graduating, getting his first job, buying his first car, getting his own apartment and proposing to a woman he loves are some of the things that a man would never forget because of their importance to him.
I believe before you propose to her, there are some questions you need to ask yourself. I hate it when men propose to a lady and call it off months later because they were not sure they really wanted to marry her.
Below are 6 questions you should ask yourself before you propose to her
1. ARE YOU EMOTIONALLY READY?
This is a serious question every man should ask himself before they propose to any lady. Some men propose without being ready emotionally and that could spell doom for your marriage. You need to ask yourself if you have really gotten over your last heart break. You need to be sure you no longer want an ex back in your life. Marriage is serious and you have to be sure you are ready emotionally before going into it.
2. IS SHE REALLY READY?
It’s one thing for you to be ready but you need to ask yourself if she is really ready. You need to know her views about spending eternity with you. You need to be sure she has gotten over her ex and doesn’t want him back. Is she really ready for it? These are some of the things you sincerely need to know.
3. CAN YOU AFFORD BEING MARRIED?
We need to tell ourselves the truth, finance is an important factor in marriage. When you marry her, it’s no longer about you anymore because you now have two persons you need to cater for. I am not saying you have to be rich but you have to able to cater for the basic things when you get married. If you are in serious debts, you need to clear them or even discuss it with her because debts can ruin marriages and you won’t want that for your marriage,

8 SIGNS WHAT YOU ARE HAVING SHOULD NOT BE CALLED A RELATIONSHIP

Not every relationship is a relationship; sometimes we enter a partnership that we call a relationship but in reality it isn’t even close to that.
There are various relationship settings out there that are so far from the main thing instead they are almost a direct opposite of what a relationship stands for.
I’d share eight of those relationships that aren’t really relationships.
1. THE SEX ONLY RELATIONSHIP
If you have been in a relationship where it’s just about sex then you would understand that it’s so far from a relationship. A relationship shouldn’t be based on fulfilling our sexual pleasures only, it goes way beyond that; anyone involved in the sex only relationship should term their relationship a ‘fling’ and stop the abuse of the word relationship.
2. NO FEELINGS
In actual sense, a relationship happens when two people who have strong feelings for each other come together to have that special union which is born out of a strong desire to be with each other and take care of each other. Interestingly, some relationship isn’t based on what they feel rather it is based on what they don’t feel.
3. YOU KEEP GETTING HURT
A relationship is supposed to feel like home; home in the sense that you love your partner and your partner loves you. If this isn’t the case then you should re-evaluate what you are having; if you keep getting hurt over and over again then what you are having probably isn’t a relationship.

WOMEN AND MONEY: ANY HOPE FOR BROKE GUYS?

In a world where money is given so much importance, and the value of everything is measured in terms of it, it becomes difficult for those who lack or don’t have enough of it (money) to matter in the scheme of things.
Everything in the world today has a price tag including love. I remember back in the days, it was totally different. I mean, love was difficult to find, but it wasn’t because of money, rather it was largely based on emotions and people’s ability to connect. If you were born before the 21st century, then, you would understand what I’m saying. Then, spending money was not an issue in relationships because it wasn’t the foundation on which it was built. If you spent money, it was solely because you wanted to, not because you had to.
I remember the first relationship I had; I didn’t spend a dime on this girl (who was supposedly the hottest in college at the time). The only time I spent on her was when I got her a gift (a set of earrings) which I did without breaking a sweat. She didn’t ask me for nothing…not even $1. And this wasn’t the case with me alone, but with every of my friend at the time. You may argue that this happened because we were all still very young, but how many younger men today (both in and outta college) can boastfully say they’re in a relationship where they don’t have to spend to keep the girl around? How many young girls today even want to date boys within their age circle? Things have completely changed, and with each passing moment, it keeps getting worse. Young women no longer date people of their age circle because they believe that most of them aren’t financially stable enough to take care of them…but you look at it all critically, and you realise that the responsibilities that come with having a girl these days even makes it more difficult for financially impoverished guys to find the courage to ask a girl out. You have to buy her weaves (which she changes every 2 or 3 weeks), take her shopping as often as every once in a month, irrespective of how much you earn, buy her toiletries and stuff, sometimes, she even wants you to pay her rent/feed her. It’s almost like you have to take full responsibility of the girls’ upkeep…
And one begins to wonder—where do broke guys look to for love in a world such as ours? Does this trend mean they don’t get to date or get married? Or do they have to wait till they make money before they get some loving? I mean, what happened to dating because you actually have feelings real for someone?  It’s crazy really, guys. Please, share your thoughts and experiences with me—do broke guys date? Ladies, would you  date any broke guy?

6 SIGNS YOUR MAN THINKS YOU ARE BUGGING

When a man feels you are bugging him, it’s so easy to detect as sometimes his every move, action and words point to the fact that he isn’t happy with your continual presence in his life.
So many factors can make a man think that you are bugging him; when he feels you add little to his life, when he’s fed up of being with you, when he has so many things to worry about and doesn’t want you to add to his numerous worries and a host of other things.
One thing is for sure, if your man feels you’re bugging then you probably need to let him be at that point in time or else it might even become worse; though I won’t be far from the truth if I say that once he starts thinking that you are bugging then he’s already getting tired of the relationship.
6 signs he thinks you are bugging
1. IF HE GETS EASILY FRUSTRATED
When a man is buoyed by your presence, he makes it felt; he hardly gets angry at your mistakes and sees little reasons to get angry with you. However, once he starts to feel you are bugging him, everything changes, he gets frustrated easily and he makes it obvious even without knowing; once frustration begins to step in and he vents it on you then it’s a clear sign that he thinks you are bugging.
2. IF HE KEEPS TALKING ABOUT SPACE
Space, space, space; that’s the most subtle word to use that literally says you are bugging him and he needs you away at the time. When a man is into you, he wants you around all the time but the moment he feels you are bugging him, he starts looking for means be free off you and the need for space comes up inconspicuously till he makes it clear.
3. IF HE PICKS UP QUARRELS EASILY
This is another clear sign that your man feels you’re bugging him. There is a big difference between picking up quarrels and picking up quarrels easily; the first tip talks about him being easily frustrated, that frustration would lead to him picking up quarrels easily. Once your man begins to pick up easy quarrels, especially from things that should hardly ever make him quarrel then you should know that he thinks you are bugging him.
