Ladies, Who Do You Want?

In June, I wrote a blog called What Do Women Want? and attempted to address the question that many women ask themselves over the years, what do we want in a potential mate? What attracts us to one man and not to another? For example, do you find Hugh Jackman attractive? Are you more interested in Brad Pitt? Or is George Clooney the man for you? When it comes to romance and relationships, answering just what do women want is not the easiest of questions. Why is it so hard? Easy, not all women are the same and what appeals … Continue reading

Opposites Attract: Some Unusual Marriages

Do opposites attract? In many ways they do and they can be some of the best relationships out there too.

So what attracts a woman to a partner that she will elect to be with for the rest of … Continue reading

What If My Spouse Doesn’t Find Me Attractive?

I have seen a lot of posts about this on the forums recently and I’ve wondered about this myself. After all, our personal body image affects how we perceive other people’s reactions to us. It’s harder when a husband or wife tells us flat out that we are not attractive. So my first question in this scenario is ‘why not?’ What is about them or me that they or I do not find attractive? Is it physically based? Does weight play a factor into it? Is it appearance, how they dress? Facial hair? How they style their hair? What is … Continue reading

Why Doesn’t Marriage Solve Problems?

This is a particularly odd entry for the marriage blog that I have in mind today and I ask that you bear with me as I explore a difficult topic. Why do women stay with men they want to behave differently? Why do women marry men who really don’t have a lot going for them and who really don’t treat them well? It really doesn’t make much sense and when you watch someone you care about doing that to him or herself; you may find yourself stuck between a rock and a hard place. Do you know someone like this? … Continue reading
