Men have their bitchy moments, although women seem to be called on it more often. We as men will usually bitch a lot about women too, when we cannot really understand them when using our logical thinking.

Sometimes, logical thinking just does not work when comes into understanding women. Therefore, we will need to understand more about women so as to not crack our heads thinking about the reasons or answers.

Here are a few things we just do not seem to understand about women, starting with the ever-so-popular “bitching” battle.

1. Why does my woman have to constantly nag and bitch at me about simple things like household chores?

Women are human, and being a woman does not make her enjoy household duties. A chore is a chore. Running an errand is running an errand. If the “everyday tasks” were equally distributed (which they often are not), guys will not ask about this anymore.

2. Why do women gossip?

Not all, but some females have a need to know what’s happening around them at all times. They are not necessarily trying to be nosy, it just that they need to be informed. Women are constantly searching for what’s beneath the surface, so as long as your lady isn’t too tangled up in her web of hearsay, it’s nothing but good clean fun.

3. Why does my girlfriend/wife get so jealous of my lady friends?

Sometimes, a woman gets jealous not because she is resentful of the particular woman at your work or school, but rather of the time you have spend with her. To cure the jealousy, you can make up for lost time by renting a movie or cuddling up on the couch. Use her jealousy to your advantage and everything will be restored.

4. Why does my girlfriend/wife spend so much money?

Some men are also guilty about spending too much on branded shirts, cars, to show off our status. Women always seem to have numerous pairs of shoes, beauty appointments and “necessities” that rack up the charge card bills. But women are also the ones who most commonly take care of the household’s banking, including paying the bills and buying groceries.

Women like buying for others, so before we start to reprimand our girls for coming home with too many bags to carry in one trip, do understand her about what they have bought first, as there could be something special for us in one of those bags.

5. Why doesn’t my mate get along with my family, especially my mother?

A lot of women feel very apprehensive about being polite and minding their manners when meeting the parent. However, there is a certain tension that makes a woman feel like she is taking something away from your parents, something that belongs to them, especially your mother.

This is more like a primal instinct thing, where the woman is the enemy, and if she gets too close to the mother’s young, she is finished.

Understanding your woman is the key to a successful relationship. There is nothing special about a successful relationship; it is just respect and understanding between each other.

The tradition of the bride and groom giving wedding favors to their guest is a long running practice believed to have been started hundreds of years ago in Europe. At that time cheap wedding favors were not very common as the practice was reserved for mostly the wealthy, who would give their guest finely made boxes with delicious treasures inside. The contents of which was usually sugar, a delicacy of those times. As time progressed almonds became standard and the guest would usually receive five of them to represent the health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and long life of the newly joined couple.

Today the tradition continues as many couples decide to follow the same custom as almonds make for inexpensive wedding favors. However, the possibilities for today’s bride and groom are seemingly endless. Many couples decide to go with personalized wedding favors that range from embroidered handkerchiefs and golden chocolate to gift bags and elegant center pieces. If there is a theme based wedding reception favors can be selected to add life and atmosphere using the same theme. For example, if having a winter wedding favors could be miniature snow globs or small Christmas trees with pictures of the bride and groom together as ornaments.

When choosing the wedding favors it may be important to pick something unique so that the guests remember the occasion for years to come. Making your own wedding favors is an inexpensive and creative way to create such memories. This can also help add life to the wedding reception by getting everyone involved in an activity together. Wedding party favors can also help liven things up and are perfect for any celebration. Streamers, confetti, and candles can help set the mood and be the perfect compliment to your chosen wedding favors.

Another popular solution to making sure that guests remember the occasion is having the wedding favors marked with the bride and groom’s name and the date of the event. Many wedding favor suppliers offer this service at little to no additional cost. Mugs, shirts, pens, and coasters are common amongst personalized wedding favors and are practical items that people can use in every day life. Each time they use that item, they will remember you.

If you find yourself unsure of what kind of wedding favors to go with remember to find something that reflects the personalities of the bride and groom. Even simple discount wedding favors can leave a lasting impression if they are something easily linked to the couple. A small jar of bubbles to represent the bride’s personality, or a humorous depiction of a cow girl lassoing her husband are all great ideas that would be easy to associate with a particular bride and groom. Wedding favors are a great way to create lasting memories of that love filled day. They can also be a great way to help loved ones remember anniversaries. What ever avenue one chooses for their wedding remember to use your imagination and have fun with the selection and hopefully a great wedding will make for a great many years to follow.

The stag night is a tradition that goes all the way back to Ancient Greek times when the boys in Sparta gathered for a last blowout before one of their mates stepped off the abyss into married life. While we don’t have the films from those early stag do’s, we’ve got a hunch that not a lot has changed since then. The idea is to get piss-drunk, stuff your face with the best food you can get and get your fill of all the things you’ll be missing once you tie the knot (read: all the other birds in the bush that you’re trading in for the one in the hand).

The honor of planning the stag do traditionally falls to the best man – the fellow you can count on through thick and thin, rain and shine, night or day, drunk or sober.. the chap who knows where to find the strippers, booze bars and paintball courts. If that’s you and you haven’t the foggiest notion where to start, here’s some handy tips to help get you started on the path to perdition – or at least the road to the boozy blast you know you can plot.

1. First things first. Know your mate. The stag do is meant to be HIS night of ignominy, not yours. Before you make arrangements to hire the 40 Salomes with seven veils between them, be sure it’s the type of thing he’ll appreciate.

2. Once you’ve got that part out of the way, it’s time to start figuring out where to find those Salomes… or something like that. If you’ve chatted it out and decided that nothing will do for your mate but a full-blown stag weekend, you’ll need to get right on the horn to start making arrangements. Stag weekends are big business, and many of the more popular activities and venues are booked up to six months in advance. Get those enquiries out, and be prepared to put down a few deposits to hold dates open.

3. One Month Ahead (Two if you’re doing an overseas stag weekend) – run the guest list past your stag, even if you don’t tell him that’s what it is. It’s only fair for him to actually LIKE the folks he’s spending his last free party with. Then… send out the invites to give everyone plenty of time to make plans to attend the stag do.

4. Two weeks ahead – confirm all the reservations for your stag night, just to be on the safe side. While you’re at it, either designate a driver for the night, or reserve a limo to do the honors. You want everyone at the wedding – not sitting in a lonely jail cell.

5. No matter how tempting it is, don’t accept too much help from your buds. The more hands there are on the wheel, the more likely it is that someone will drop the ball – or something like that. You’re most likely to get everything done and in place if you see to it yourself.

6. OR – get professional help. If you hire a professional tour organiser to put together the plans for your stag weekend, you can just see to it that everyone shows up with their embarrassing jokes and gags – and sit back to enjoy the best stag do you didn’t have to plan.

The key to being lovers and friends in a marriage goes far beyond a physical act of rhythm. The act in itself can be very mechanical and routine. But what defines the best intimacy is what goes on in the mind. And a lot of what goes on in the mind has to be created. I like the way family counselor Dr. Kevin Leman put it, he said sex begins in the kitchen and that we should create sheet music in the bedroom. If you ever get a chance to hear him speak or attend one of his seminars please, please do. He is absolutely hillarious and will keep the fire burning in any relationship if you listen and apply what he says. Okay, going back to my point, environment is critical to a healthy physical relationship. It is what turns the ordinary to extraordinary.

We can learn a lot about environment by watching the animal kingdom. Animals and birds do so much to impress their mates before the physical act. They sing, they dance, they build houses and woo their mate in, they put out their colorful plumes, the give off scents, they shake, they rattle, they strut, they lock heads and horns and pursue hard just to get noticed by the one female. They patiently wait for the right moment and they do get their girl. They get their moment of glory and stay united for a lifetime. Oh, if we would just humble ourselves and do the same there would be a lot less divorce in America and around the world for that matter.

It’s what you do before the game that makes the game more exciting. Where would the Super Bowl be without the tailgate parties? Where would the rodeo be without the barbeque cookoff? Where would Christmas be without 25 days of holiday madness? The excitement is before the play. So where is your intimacy without foreplay? The major events that I mentioned happen weeks before the events, and married couples go through a physical moment for 30 minutes and wonder why things aren’t the way they used to be. I know you had your game on before the marriage. Just get your game back on. Shake, rattle and roll – do something, really do something and impress that mate. They are so worth it.

You know what makes the animal kingdom so successful in relationships? They make their mate respond to their actions. They are so kind in drawing their mates attention and then most of them after the offspring are born take so much time giving their mate support and helping them to recover from giving birth. They build a relationship. I will never forget watching a PBS special on the life of Jackals. What they do for their spouse is so unbelievable it brought me to tears. Because I said how is it that the know the secret to life, love and relationships and mankind fails many times so grievously in this. Try watching the life of a King Penguin. It should put dead beat fathers to shame. Look at the plight of salmon all in order for the species to survive. It is absolutely incredible how much of their lives they put into the making relationships work. But with humans, we call ourselves getting fed up and head for the divorce court. Three things I would highly recommend before doing that, pray hard, watch a nature channel for 30 days, and go get serious marriage counseling. If that can’t save your marriage, go on down to the divorce court.

Love takes time. And creating an environment where love flourishes takes much creativity. If you want to be a good lover you have to work at the art of making the object of your affection respond to you. It has to go way beyond the physical and touch the soul – the inner core of their being. You have to create an environment where they feel free to be transparent and that they can trust you with their fragile emotions. Your spouse will probably never tell you that. But if you ever reach that level of intimacy you will know that the things I have shared today are true. Go beyond self and your own personal gratification and step into your wifes (or husband) domain. Be willing to nurture them and meet their needs and you will find a yielding spouse, who will look forward to being available to you.
