Our Relationship Is Not The Same Anymore

Yes, you read that right.

When we got married last year, we thought that was it. We thought so many things to tell you guys the truth, so you can imagine our surprise when we started realizing that our relationship was not the same anymore…

A few days ago, I was driving us back home, and Sugar touched my hand and said, “You are the one for me…” I just melted—figuratively, of course. I knew that he meant it.

Last year, I was just a girl saying yes, but now, I know I am his everything. Not because he says so, but because I know so. His actions constantly prove it to me!

My point is that I am grateful for the good and bad times, and the so-so ones.  Thanks to them, our relationship is not the same anymore: it is stronger!

Getting married is not it, staying married is! Respecting your partner and being patient with him/her are vital components of a healthy marriage. Make sure that your own relationship is not static. You should be able to grow closer to your spouse and create a deeper love.

Questions That Women Are Afraid to Ask…

This morning, I was reading a few articles on thenest.com, which is all about relationship, sex, and the like. There was one in particular that caught my attention; it was titled “50 Sex questions You Were Afraid to Ask.” I went through all of the questions, and I found it interesting that I would only be afraid to ask a few ones. Just a few. Don’t get me wrong though, my husband is my best friend, which implies that he makes me feel comfortable enough to talk about anything with him, so do I. With that being said, those questions were more about certain things that I have not experienced yet, such as sex after the baby, sex during pregnancy, etc.

Now, as you can see, I have attached a poll to this post.  Feel free to vote for the one that you would be afraid to ask to your lover or someone else, for that matter. Then, later on, I will answer the question that gets the most votes to the best of my ability, as a married woman.

Thanks in advance, guys! You rock! 🙂

2 Things Not To Share With Friends

As a married couple, it is essential that you do not share certain things with your friends…

1. Sex life. Why would you want to share things like your partner’s size or sexual fantasies?

2. Debt details. Really?

 

Please, feel free to add your own to the list! 🙂

Are You a Keeper?

There are several qualities that a man/woman should have, in order to be considered as a keeper. For instance, he/she should be trustworthy, respectful of your family and friends, etc. Most importantly, I think that he/she should be a supportive partner. Yes, always get or keep someone who is encouraging and sensitive! It may sound cliché, but it is crucial to having a good and healthy relationship. In other words, you will need that when times get tough!

I got an internship in Haiti, and let me share something special that happened on my first day at work:

My husband is encouraging, and always provides me with emotional help. How so? He had my lunchbox ready. He kept looking at me like a proud father would at his daughter. But that is not it though! When I was about to open my makeup case, I found this little note: “I am already missing you!”  I melted—figuratively, of course. And it felt so good! To tell you, guys, the truth, I might have found six or seven sticky notes in my stuff throughout the day. They were saying things like “You are beautiful,” and “I love you.”

Moreover, a few minutes after Sugar dropped me off at work, he called me on my cell phone and said, “Baby, I just wanted to tell you that I am so proud of you, and that I cannot wait for you to tell me all about it later…” I could tell that he was talking to me with tear-filled eyes. It was unexpected, and it touched my heart. Those little things always remind me why my husband is a keeper! He is not perfect, but he is human!

Now, if you are a guy reading this post, this is for you: Are you proud of your woman? Do you tell her that often? Do your actions show that you care? Are you a keeper? Because every girl deserves one!

To my girls. Having a supportive partner is a must! Knowing that your man is proud of you and wants to make you smile will always boost your self-esteem and self-confidence. Always.

And if your partner is a keeper: be one, too!

Just think about it sometimes!

Female Orgasm…

Based on an article on dailymail.co.uk, a study, carried out by the University of Kansas, found that 68 % of women have pretended to climax with a partner. It also found that in many cases, “those who did simulate orgasms felt under too much pressure to enjoy real sex.” Why is that?

Well, in my opinion, media plays a big role in this because in most movies with explicit sex scenes, pornography, or even erotic novels, they usually always depict females having orgasm as if women always have at least one every time they have sex. Consequently, a lot of women from countries where sex is taboo tend to assume that if they do not climax, something must be wrong with them. Unfortunately, a number of women do not feel comfortable enough to talk to their family and friends about sex and orgasm. They often fake orgasms just to please their partner… Actually, I will elaborate on all the reasons why women simulate orgasms during sexual activities in the future.

The most important question remains: how can one have an orgasm or multiple ones during sex? In my humble opinion, reciprocation is the key–I will explain myself later on! Now, here are a few tips for you, ladies…

1.   Let your partner know what you like and do not like in bed. Communication and honesty are crucial in having great sex! Really.

2. Know that climax is simply the icing on the cake, which implies that orgasm does not necessarily define good sex. Try not to stress too much. Take your time. Always.

3. Free your mind. I am going to assume that you have already heard people say that women’s most powerful sex organ is their mind. And guess what? It is 100% true! If you are worried about how good you should be feeling or how bad you think you are in bed, chances are that you will not be having an orgasm. Also, try to visualize things that excite you sexually instead of worrying about [insert issue here].

4. Once again, reciprocation is the key to great sex–plus orgasms! Yes, “give and you will receive.” In other words, the more you please him in bed, the more he is going to want to please you, too, and vice versa. It is human nature. Trust me on this one! The sooner you start prioritizing your partner, the better things will be. You will both start feeling an extraordinary connection between your bodies.  Focus your attention on your partner during sex/lovemaking. And oh, just have fun! 😀

On a side note, if you do not reach an orgasm during sexual intercourse with someone: it is okay, and I am going to tell you why. Unfortunately, I am unable to quote verbatim what I read years ago, but here is what it meant: sex is like a brand new shoe that one starts wearing, and with time, it becomes more comfortable, and adjusts to the shape of its owner’s foot. 🙂
