The prejudices against singlehood are also directed more toward women. People from the LGBTQ community have it even harder because they’re often fighting a two-fold battle of acceptance. That’s not to say that the life of a single, unmarried man in India is completely free of pressures and judgment, but the severity of it is minuscule in comparison. It is for this reason that being an unmarried successful woman in India doesn’t alleviate the societal expectation of ‘settling down’....

Today I will tell you how my brother got entangled in the web laid out carefully by a gold digger and ended up marrying her. Read on to find out what happened next. (As told to Anney Sam) Who Is Gold Digger? Gold-digger is a woman who forms relationships with men purely to obtain money or gifts from them.

In an ideal world, dating should be an organic process. Just like you enter the gambling den not knowing if you will hit the jackpot, you enter the dating ring hoping to strike relationship gold. You meet someone, the bells start ringing, you are curious about him or her, and all of these steps set the romantic ball rolling. It may or may not have a happy ending but the process of meeting, wooing, courting doesn’t stop until you find THE one....

According to a poll conducted by Health Testing Centers on 441 participants, it was found that a little over 46% of respondents in a monogamous relationship said they have had an affair while being committed to someone. Yet, we often fail to recognize many red flags and warning signs of being cheated on. This is because we tend to have a blind spot when it comes to people we love and a person who is determined to deceive you will be two steps ahead of you....

Here, periods are not something to be ashamed about, to speak about in hushed whispers or something that is considered offensive or taboo. Here the glory of womanhood is applauded and menstruation is seen as it should be – natural and beautiful. The Death Of Goddess Sati One often hears about Shiva and Parvati but is unaware of Sati. Legend has it that Sati (Shiva’s first wife) married him against the wishes of her father, the proud Daksha....

He would always come receive me from airports and train stations. No, I never wanted him to pick up my bags. My suitcases had wheels, I could drag them. I didn’t realise he had started getting uncomfortable with a strong independent woman like me. It’s only when I caught him cheating on me that I understood what he was missing. He preferred the kohl eyed, saree clad siren. It had been two years, yet every time I came back from a trip, I would imagine a Hollywood style entry of the hero waiting with a rose and an apology at the station....

With that in mind, I dropped in to visit him. His wife Kavita welcomed me and I went into the living room and sat down to chat with Pankaj. He mentioned that he’d been back three days but skipped office. “Is everything okay, Pankaj? How is work? Do you have any work-related tension?” I asked. A startling revelation “No, no, office matters never trouble me. It is something related to my latest US tour....

I was compelled to break the silence, because house rules state that we will not fight in front of a guest. Just like Sheldon’s roommate/girlfriend-boyfriend agreement in the Bing Bang Theory Series, our household has its own set of agreements. However, we are not as detailed as Sheldon and our agreements are unwritten, verbal and learnt over a period as our marriage grew older and we became wiser. We have the following tacit commandments....

But let’s rewind and backtrack a little. How To Ask A Father-In-Law To Marry His Daughter I met my wife-to-be whilst I was a Naval officer still under training. She was an art student, working her tuition fee debts off. We fell in love fast, our relationship bloomed and a proposal was made and accepted. So far, so good. Then came the catch in the story. I was from a Hindu Nair household and she was the eldest daughter of a conservative Roman Catholic family....

There is no scope for correcting course and they subconsciously ruin the relationship. To stop self-sabotaging relationships, you need to learn to identify the signs and reasons for this behavior. Only then can you break the cycle, and give yourself a real shot at building meaningful romantic partnerships. We speak to psychologist Jayant Sundaresan (Masters in Applied Psychology), who specializes in offering counseling for a range of relationship issues such as communication breakdown, expectation management, infidelity, separation and divorce, to understand more about why people indulge in sabotaging their relationships....

But the ability to make a girl laugh is so much more than just comic timing. You have to be able to understand what makes her tick and then build upon it, slowly and steadily, to master the art of getting her to crack up at will....

It is often distressing for men to think they’ve reached life’s halfway stage and that time is “running out”.

In this article, consultant psychologist Jaseena Backer (MS Psychology), who is a gender and relationship management expert, shares the story of Adam and Nancy....

Yes, my wife is the breadwinner in our marriage Sometimes I feel judged, sometimes resentful, but most times, I am contented. I do think my wife has a bit more power in our marriage because she is the breadwinner in our household, but what the hell, I do not care. It all began when the company where I worked went through a hostile takeover. Within a few months, I was declared redundant and had to leave....

She took to the messenger of love, Instagram, and posted a series of pictures caption, “You are my everything. <3 I miss you. #monkeylove.” The pictures are from a romantic black and white shoot of the couple and give some major feels!

Emotional intimacy without physical intimacy (or vice versa) will often result in a relationship that fails to reach its true potential. With changing times, sexual compatibility has gained more attention than it used to when couples would get married without even sparing a thought to it Let’s take a deeper look at why sexual compatibility is so important in marriages and what happens when couples realize after 20 years of marriage that their relationship is plagued with sexual incompatibility....

I have been in a relationship with a girl for the past 7 years. It was a long-distance relationship. I was in so love with her. She used to say, I am doing my higher studies because you give me the strength to do it. We are from different religions. She used to say we will stay in a relationship as long as we can… I trusted that at some point of time she would tell her parents about our relationship....

And this after 40 years of marriage, says Osho. “Are you not listening?” he wonders. “Listen to your partner,” he advises and strongly recommends meditation for all....

Knowingly or unknowingly, every couple plays power games. Power dynamics in relationships can work both ways. One, when a partner dominates the other with the latter willingly suppressing his or her desires in exchange for what s/he considers security or love. And then there is the other end of the spectrum where there are men and women who snatch power from their partners in abusive or manipulative ways. While total equality in relationships is just a utopian dream, at times it becomes necessary to manage these equations....
