When you find yourself with a partner, who loves you, take care of what you have found. But if you are single, just remember... the best is yet to come.

For most women - no matter what she says - Valentine’s Day is a big deal, it’s not so much about the gift, it’s really about the recognition. So whatever you have planned for February 14th this year, be sure to make it unforgettable, something that will express your appreciation for all the great things your significant other has brought to your life.

Valentine’s Day is traditionally known as a day for couples to show and share their love and affection, but is that just the view peddled by the media and greeting card companies?

Are you in a committed love-relationship? Is it new: lovey-gushy-sexing-like-guppies? (Guppies, apparently, like it a lot!) Are you already mid-stream, still enjoying the odd skinny-dip but mellowing into the flow? Or are you treading water at this stage, regarding one another as part of the pool furniture?

Over the years I have been aware of a distinction between having sex and making love. Recently I have come to see how far apart they are. In his book ‘Indecent Practices and Erotic Trance: Making Sense of Tantra’, John Ryan Haule questions our use of the term ‘making love’ for anything sexual.

When you’re young and full of life, the last thing you want is to be loaded with the burden of an unplanned pregnancy and the responsibility that comes with it. You’d much rather be part of the Got Ambition generation and plan your future for when the time is right for you to have babies, with the right partner.

When you were newly married, you probably thought that you could survive on love and water alone. Those were the days before a tank of gas was cheaper than a visit to the hairdresser and long before you and hubby’s credit card became best friends.

Certain aspects of life change fundamentally when you have children. Turning sleep deprivation into an art is one thing, but keeping the fire of romance burning is a whole different ball game. Suddenly, those special moments that once lasted forever are interrupted by a naughty giggle, a hungry baby, a high-pitched "MOMMY - I'M FIIINIIISHED!" from the bathroom...

Soul mate is a term sometimes used to designate someone with whom one has a feeling of deep and natural affinity, love, intimacy, sexuality, spirituality, and/or compatibility. A related concept is that of the twin flame or twin soul – which is thought to be the ultimate soul mate, the one and only other half of one's soul, for which all souls are driven to find and join.

Dr. Phil's guest, Nikki, has been madly in love for five years with a man she met on the Internet. The only problem — she has yet to meet him face to face. Several times they've planned to meet, and he never showed. Her parents are concerned that she's wasting her life, waiting for a man who isn't who he portrays himself to be.

Whether it was your first kiss, your first boyfriend in primary or highschool or the person that just stole your heart, we all have our first love. We see it on the movies, we read it in the books and it keeps our hopes of true love and lost romance alive.

Sometimes it’s not a matter of avoiding experiences which could cause us pain but rather of making wiser choices. It took a bail off my mountain bike to remind me of this fact. I lay there for a second feeling oddly disconnected from my surroundings.

When you are your most frustrated, keep quiet and listen. Listen to the voices that matter. My daughter would tell you that “Shut up” is a swear word. She would be partially right because it is not used with the intention to show respect. The word shut up is usually surrounded by enormous conflict. But sometimes it is the only thing that can save your marriage, a client relationship, a relationship with your child or even your spiritual life.

The evening had started off brilliantly. Sarah was in her brand new Diesel jeans, and feeling quite good about herself. After the recent break-up of her three year relationship, she hadn’t ventured out in a while. And certainly hadn’t dressed up for anything or anyone in months. Everything was going well, she was enjoying seeing old friends again, and had caught up with a few people she hadn’t seen in weeks. Until, that is, her ex arrived , with his new girlfriend.

When it comes to the topic of sex, the rumour mill tends to work overtime – often leaving you with lots of questions, but not enough answers.

Have you recently or are you currently experiencing any of the following: insomnia; appetite changes; sexual disorders; aches and pains; frequent colds; lethargy and /or illnesses such as asthma, digestive problems and headaches?
