Women can be a treasure trove of love, care and sacrifice but only for the men they love. Being in love can change a woman like nothing else can. There are some things she will do for no one but the man she loves.

1. Emotional intimacy.

Physical intimacy may come with a few dates, but emotional intimacy can come only with time.

A woman will bare her soul only to the man she loves.

2. She will fight for your love.

Circumstances can often be against young love. Whether it is fighting against family, society or her own internal demons, a woman will do without a second thought for the man she loves.

3. She will care about the people he cares about.

Family, friends or pets- if you love them, your girl loves them just as much! She will leave no stone un-turned to protect and nurture your loved ones and treat them as her own.

4. Show him her vulnerable side.

A woman will share her innermost thoughts and her most vulnerable side only if she loves and trust the guy and knows he won't hurt her.

5. Introduce him to her family.

Family always comes first and a woman will only introduce a guy to her family, if she 's sure he is the one.

6. Change herself for him.

Though this is something a woman shouldn't do for anyone, many woman do find themselves changing their habits and likes just to mold themselves into the kind of girl their partner wants.

Women will change for no one but the man they love.

1. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a virus that destroys the body's CD4 immune cells, which help fight disease. With the right medications, you can have HIV for years or decades without HIV progressing to AIDS.

2. You can't catch or spread HIV from hugging someone, using the same towel, or sharing the same glass. It's very rare to get HIV from blood transfusion. However, you can get the disease from having unprotected sex, sharing needles, or getting a tattoo from unsterilized equipment.

3. Because of HIV drugs that are now available, the truth is that many people can live for decades with HIV and have a normal or near-normal life span.

4. Some people don't show sign of HIV for years after being infected. However, many can have some symptoms within 10 days to a few weeks after infection. These first symptoms are similar to the flu or mononucleosis and may include fever, swollen lymph nodes, sore throat, rash, and muscle aches.

5. There is no cure for HIV in most cases, but treatment can control virus levels and help maintain your immune system.

6. Just because you and your partner have HIV, it doesn't mean you should forget about protection when having sex. Using a condom or other latex barrier can help protect you from other sexually transmitted diseases as well as other strains of HIV, which may be resistant to anti-HIV medication.

7. Infected mothers can pass HIV to their babies during pregnancy or delivery. But you can lower the risk by working with your doctor and getting the right care and medication.

8. People with HIV can be likely to get infections like pneumonia, tuberculosis, candidiasis, cytomegalovirus, and toxoplasmosis. The best way to cut the risk is to take HIV medications...

Many people will disagree with me on this one. A lot of people will say it's bad to have sex before marriage. Some will even argue that God created sex for married couple.

In my own opinion I think it is good to have sex before marriage because of the following reasons.

1. To discover sexual related problems and solve it.

2. You would have tried out different sex styles and discovered which you're comfortable with.

3. Sex is very healthy and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. In fact, sex is good way to keep your immune system humming, boost your libido.

4. People will do it anyway: no matter how much people condemn sex before marriage, so many people still do it.

5. To find out if you are sexually compatible with your partner.

6. These days, it is more gender equality in jobs. Women also become sexually confident and can choose what they like or dislike.

7. The number of single, never married young women is on the rise. Most of these women are sexually active.

Men show that they care for a woman in a manner that is different from how women show it. If a man publicly displays his affection for you, just know he is not messing around. A man that has expressed his feelings to the world has shown extreme vulnerability and that is something he will only do for a woman he cares about.

Here are seven things men only do with the woman they love.

1. He listens.
You are not completely wrong if you sometimes think or see men as behaving like kids. Most men only focus on the things they are passionate about. If they love you, your voice sound like music so all you have to do is say something that they are interested in and you have their full attention. If a man truly loves you, he will go beyond hearing you. He will pay attention to your words.

2. He fights with you.
Yes, that is correct. Fights don't always mean that your relationship is going to hell. If he is truly invested in your relationship, he will fight, discuss and find solutions to the problems that caused the fight in the first place. It's a sign that he wants things to work out and as such, he tries to find the middle ground where you're both happy.

3. He makes sacrifices for your happiness.

This is one of the greatest signs of love. If he displeases himself to please you, it only means he wants you to be happy and is willing to put you above even himself.

4. He fights for your love.
A man that loves you will be willing to take punches as they come as long as it would mean that he keeps you for himself. A man that truly loves you will make it known to you that he feels lucky to have you as well as make it known that he wouldn't want to loose you.

5. He's proud of your achievements.

A man in love will see his woman's achievement as his own. It's similar to the feeling a mother has when are child does something outstanding for the first time. He won't compete with you, instead he will win with you.

Let us put aside the idea of a perfect world, where people love their lovers honestly, with all their heart and would never cheat on them. Where all relationships are successful and no hearts are broken. Where there are no tears but only smiles and where two people live happily ever after.

The real world is way too different: people cheat, trust is broken and heart are shattered. I am not advising you to doubt your partner all the time, but if you notice a negative change in their actions or reactions, then trying to have some surety about things won't do any bad.

If you see some of these seven signs in your partner, then it's high time you clear things up with them.

1. They take longer and longer to text you back.

Taking their privacy away is something you shouldn't do, but if they take advantage of your trust in them, then they are either a terrible person or they think you are stupid enough to trust them blindly. If they take too long to text you back or return a call, then there are chances of them cheating on you. Repetition of late response is a sign for you.

2. They come home late from work.

This one may sound like a dramatic and typical sign but people actually make excuses like "there's a lot of work today and I may have to spend the night". They say this when they want to sneak out for something illegitimate. It is also one of the old excuses. It is really stupid of them to use it but it can be a signal for you to be in charge and find out what's happening.

3. They take a shower as soon as they get home.

Their sudden habit of getting into the shower as soon as they return from work or somewhere else may be because of the new person they are spending time with. This sign may not be very common but if you notice them becoming a shower - freak, then there are chances they want to get rid of the smell of the person they slept with or anything else that will get them caught.

4. They are not as exciting in bed as they used to be.

You obviously know the urges and desires your partner has about sex and you are the only one who satisfies their needs, but if lately, they have not been showing any need for sex, then there is something wrong. It is not absolutely sure that they are sleeping with someone else if their sex routine changes, but if the change is sudden, then they may be sleeping with someone else.

5. They get you present without any occasion.

This one can be a little tricky. It could be difficult for you to tell if they are getting you presents out of love or if they want to cover their guilt. Even if they are being dishonest and sleeping with someone else, they might feel the guilt at times and try to cover it up with some extra gifts out of occasion...

Dear Woman...

Not every man is a Husband material.

Some are friendzone materials.

Some are Boyfriend materials.

Some are sex mate materials.

Some are baby-papa materials.

Some are husband materials.

Some are father materials.

Marry a Man that is a Brother, Husband and Father.

Some of you, get into marriage with men who have no business being married.

Marriage is not for everybody.

Some men are not wired to function in matrimony.

Don't allow marriage desperation or societal pressure to push you into the arms of a man who is not ready or suited for matrimony.

Look around you, most men get married just for the status. Those are the men that marry wives and keep for their mothers and fathers to look after.

I have seen men who married wives and travelled out of the country for 5, 6 and even 7 years without coming home to see their wives.

I mean what is that?

You shouldn't be theoretically married. Marriage must be practical.

Some men are very selfish. Take this from me, a selfish man can never be a good husband.

Matrimony thrives on mutualism. It is a give-and-take situation.

Don't marry a man because you are pregnant for him.

Don't marry him because he deflowered you.

Don't marry him because you are unemployed.

Don't marry him because you've dated him for long.

Don't marry him because you invested in him financially.

Marry him because you believe he is worthy of being called your Husband and the father of your unborn kids.

There are men everywhere but Husbands are scarce.

Sex not only feels good. It is also important in solving some health issues.

Here is what a healthy sex life can do for you.

*. It helps boosts your libido

"Having sex will make sex better and will improve your libido" says Lauren Streicher, MD.For women, having sex ups vaginal lubrication, blood flow and elasticity all of which make sex feel better and help you crave more of it.

*. Lowers your blood pressure

Research suggest that sexual intercourse but not masturbation lowered systolic blood pressure.

*. Sex counts as Exercise

Sex is a really great form of exercise. Sex uses about five calories per minute, four more calories than watching TV.

*. Lowers Heart attack risk

A good sex life is good for your heart. Besides being a great way to raise your heart rate, sex helps keep your estrogen and testosterone level in balance.

*. Lessens pain

Before you reach for an aspirin, try for an orgasm.

*. Stimulation without orgasm can also do the trick. Study shows that vaginal stimulation can block chronic back and leg pain and can also reduce menstrual cramps.

*. Reduce the risk of Prostate cancer

Study shows that men who ejaculate frequently were less likely to get prostate cancer

*. Eases stress
Sexual arousal releases a brain chemical that revs up your brain's pleasure and reward system.

1. Women generally need longer to have an orgasm than men, who take about 7 to 14 minutes. These are just averages of course. You may be faster or slower, and it can be different from one time to the next.

2. Having an orgasm and ejaculating are two different things. They usually happen together. For many men, a powerful ejaculation is the best part of an orgasm. Other men keep feeling the orgasm well after they release semen. After age 40, a man may ejaculate less, but he can still have orgasm.

3. Men younger than 30 are more likely than older men to have multiple orgasms. After an orgasm, most men need a rest period before they can get another erection. If he's older, it may be a few hours. But if he's younger, he may be up and ready in a few minutes.

4. Most women need more than just penetration to get there. To see the real fireworks, most women need stimulation of the clitoris as well. Sometimes, the position you use during sex can make the difference. But some women just don't have an orgasm during sex, ever. Whichever way you go can be normal.

5. There is no such thing as "too much" masturbation. As long as it doesn't get in the way of your daily life, it can't physically hurt you. Masturbation helps some people learn about orgasm, and it doesn't prevent a guy from having one during sex.

6. Some large studies have shown that both men and women who have orgasms often live longer than those who don't...

You need to be wise about it. Tell him in a polite way, he will understand.
Read interesting romance post on my blog @ www.selfbrandpal.com

I will share the nine scientific tips to make any girl fall in love with a guy.

1. Be confident.

It is the natural tendency of girls, to get attracted to men who are confident. Being confident doesn't mean that showing achievement or possession. It means you should be comfortable with yourself and your work. By being confident, you convey the girl that she can depend on you.

Whether you believe it or not, girls ;look for this most important quality.

2. Be a gentleman.

It is one of the oldest way and the best way. By being a gentleman, you can leave a good impression on a girl. This is one of the basic way of impressing any girl. Girls are very impressed with those men who respect them at first. For example, pulling chair, opening door for her and paying bills. It can make a special place for you in her heart for sure.

3. Develop a talent.

In real life, a talent can help you stand out among everyone. But you need to ensure that you are really good with your talent.

4. Impress her friends.

This is not necessary but can be quite helpful in having an indirect effect on her mind. By impressing her friends, you can trigger a chain reaction which will eventually cause your dream girl to be impressed with you. Girls have the tendency to create opinion by talking and discussing with their friends. If you are able to impress any of her girl friends, then you are half way ahead in impressing her.

5. Listen to her.

Do you know girls love talking? So you need to become a good listener now.

If you want to impress any girl, you need to listen to her. You always need to pay attention to what she says. If possible, try to give some proper advise for her problems. This way, she will feel better and comfortable talking to you. Remember, talking and listening to each other makes better understanding...

If you want to avoid fights, jealousy, rage attacks and even problems of self-esteem in yourself, it is better that in certain circumstances you close your mouth. Remember the saying: "in the closed mouth, no flies come in"

Here are 5 things you should never tell/ask a man.

1. Do you think she is cute?

If you and your boyfriend cross path with a woman known to both of you(friend, classmate, work or whatever) and you notice that he looks at her a lot, never ask him that question. If he says no, you will be angry because you do not believe him and if he says yes, a fit of rage will come. Better to avoid meaningless worries and make sure nothing happened.

2. When do we meet again?

First date with a man you like. You have had a great time, but at the moment of saying goodbye, he still has not hinted at anything for a second meeting. Do you ask him when to meet again?

Don't!

If he has not told you yet, it's because he is not convinced so better avoid that uncomfortable moment for you. A man really interested in you will propose it to you.

3. Have you slept with her?

Do not ask your partner about things from the past. So that the ghost of the past and the insecurities that come with them persecute you eternally?...

If you see any signs that a woman likes you but you are not reading them properly, you might not be making a move and you might be loosing women.

Here are five signs that a woman is into you.

1. When a woman is grooming herself in your presence.

When a woman subconsciously touches are hair and play with it when she sees you approaching or actually during conversation.

This can also involve when she is putting her clothes into shape or catching a reflection.

She is basically making sure she looks hot because she finds you attractive. Be aware that if she has no interest, then subconsciously she wouldn't be thinking about grooming in your presence.

That is a sign that she is feeling your vibes and maybe it's time to make the move.

2. When she is invading your personal space.

As humans, we are very use to having our own room of our personal space and if someone invades it without permission, we tell them immediately.

It's actually very unnatural thing to move too close to another human being. When a woman is doing that to you, they are aware of it and they are subconsciously and consciously doing it on purpose.

3. General body language.

Another sign that a woman is feeling your vibes is through her general body language.

If a woman is very open, her hands all over the place and she is touching her hair. That shows she is feeling your vibes. Open, happy and energetic body language always symbolizes some kind of communication which means you should go for it and she could be yours.

Also if a lady tends to maintain eye contact for a long time, that is a sure sign she likes you.

4. Responsiveness via text message.

If a lady is given you one word answers, if she is taking two days to reply your text messages, she is saying she is not interested romantically.

So how can you tell if a lady is feeling you via text messages?

If she is replying all the time, if she is using the smiley faces, if she is investing in the conversation and she is replying rapidly. They are definite signs she likes you.

5. General touching or body contact.

Men always touch women because they are the one's pursuing women.

Our sociological gender role says that men are the one's trying to take the women the whole time but if a woman does this, it's very telling.

When a man does it, it's much more obvious he likes the girl. When a woman likes you, she laughs when you touch her, gives you a hug or patch you in the shoulder.

She doesn't do that to a man she is not attracted to. Men do it all the time but women do it much more exclusively to men they find attractive and feel comfortable with.

Sexual assault is when someone does something sexual to another person, without getting their permission first.

It can include anything from touching someone's genitals, breast or butt, inserting something into any of their body parts or showing them something sexual when they haven't given them their explicit consent.

Explicit consent is a clear, voluntary agreement to do something sexual.

A shrug or silent doesn't count and you can't give consent if you are feeling threatened or you are drunk or high.

If you get assaulted in any way, first remember it's not your fault, no matter who you were with, how you were dressed or what you were doing, you have nothing to feel guilty about.

If anyone ever rapes you or hurt you in anyway, get to a hospital fast.

Tell them what happened and they can help you through the steps to prevent illness or pregnancy and get you to the additional support you need.

Most importantly you should tell someone you trust like your mum or school councilor.

You can tell them face to face, over text, on the phone or however you are most comfortable.

It's normal to feel scared about speaking up especially if you know the abuser but it's brave to talk about sexual assault or any unwanted sexual behaviour that makes you feel uncomfortable.

You will be protecting yourself and other people too.

Sex is not all about making children. You must be a different woman to your husband every time.

Seduce your husband, don't always allow your husband to ask for Sex, there must be no timetable for sex.

Be creative, don't be predictable. Give him what he wants. If you loose influence over your husband, you have lost womanhood. Be part of your husband plans.
Don't have too many children, you wanna sell them?

Allow your husband to check in and out anytime.
When a man is sexually satisfied, he is emotionally stable.

Stop saying, is it food ? Yes, sex is food !!!

As a wife, try to invest in yourself spiritually so you can adequately support him.

Don't allow your husband to provide all your needs, he is not a money making machine.

Iron sharpens iron, try to reciprocate.

You are meant to support each other spiritually, financially, physically and morally through thick and thin.

You are a builder....Wise woman buildeth her home. Women need wisdom to build their homes.

Do not be too outspoken, know when to talk, when to listen and when to be quiet.

Love your husband with all your heart, never tell him, if not because of my children, remember you've known him before the arrival of those children.

Pamper your husband, put his head on your chest. Give him unannounced kiss from the back.... mwahhhhhh, don't be too shy to kiss in the public.

He is your husband for God sake. Be romantic joooo, it is good for the heart.

Some people are not happy that you're happy in that marriage, prove them wrong that you love him and he is your crown, always feel good when you hold him.

Don't look 50 while you're still under 40, it drives men crazy. Always keep fit regardless of your age or body.

To men:
Do not take a woman who does all these for granted!
Pamper her, cherish her, love her, support her financially, make her feel like your woman!

You want to bring romance back in your relationship?

Fix these damaging daily habits for a happy and healthy partnership. Keeping romance alive is an everyday job. Being in a long-term relationship doesn't mean you get to wake up with a box of chocolate for breakfast and walk on the rainbows with your partner.

Keeping romance alive is hard work, when you have got used to each other's company and found your comfort zone in the relationship. But it's not hard enough to push your boundaries to make your partner feel special everyday.

All it takes is for both of you to fix these 7 little daily habits that are potential romance killers in every long-term relationship.

1. Being hooked on your phone when together.

Sure it's tempting for you to unwind after a long day and scroll through your social media accounts, or stay glued to mobile games but if your partner is by your side, waiting for you to be available to them and you are busy in your own virtual world instead, it shows disrespect. This behaviour when repeated everyday, kills the connection and romance between you two.

2. Talking about work all the time.

We understand that one of the amazing things about being in a long-term relationship is that you can share the things that concern you. But if you tend to bring your work worries at home and constantly talk about how horrible your manager is with you or how your colleagues are going behind your back , it will add stress to your relationship. And romance doesn't strive on stress.

3. Keeping score.

So he flirted with that hot girl for 5 minutes at that party a year back or she forgot to wish your mom on her last birthday, and now you wouldn't miss a chance to give it back to them.

Being in a relationship is not a wrestling match. Stop keeping score.

4. Bickering over small things.

On the same note, stop complaining about every little thing that your partner didn't do your way.

I am not saying fighting and arguing with your partner is unhealthy, this leads to further tension in the relationship.

5. Setting unrealistic expectations.

In this age of social media frenzy, we tend to be swayed by unrealistic expectations of how couple relationships should be. If your BFF'S partner has surprised her with a hot balloon ride on valentine's day, or the couple next door is going on their second honeymoon, it makes no sense to compare your relationship with theirs and get fussy about not having as much excitement in your companionship. It makes your partner feel that they are failing to make you happy...

Men show that they care for a woman in a manner that is different from how women show it. If a man publicly displays his affection for you, just know he is not messing around. A man that has expressed his feelings to the world has shown extreme vulnerability and that is something he will only do for a woman he cares about.

Here are seven things men only do with the woman they love.

1. He listens.
You are not completely wrong if you sometimes think or see men as behaving like kids. Most men only focus on the things they are passionate about. If they love you, your voice sound like music so all you have to do is say something that they are interested in and you have their full attention. If a man truly loves you, he will go beyond hearing you. He will pay attention to your words.

2. He fights with you.
Yes, that is correct. Fights don't always mean that your relationship is going to hell. If he is truly invested in your relationship, he will fight, discuss and find solutions to the problems that caused the fight in the first place. It's a sign that he wants things to work out and as such, he tries to find the middle ground where you're both happy.

3. He makes sacrifices for your happiness.
This is one of the greatest signs of love. If he displeases himself to please you, it only means he wants you to be happy and is willing to put you above even himself...

Long distance relationship can be stressful and boring sometimes. Whether it's time differences, conflicting work schedules or just different energy levels at different times during the day, we find a great distance, a great disconnect and a great interference in the way we communicate with each other.
Communication in relationships is already hard enough and long distance relationships add a whole new level of complexity. They say distance means so little when someone means so much but still somehow, distance has this ability to break bonds, to break trust, to really push us further away from each other not just physically but emotionally.

Here are the 5 genuine pieces of advice and principles for long distance relationships...

What really is a fake relationship?
It's an illusion that you have come to believe, the illusion of a long - lasting relationship. Many of us are in fake relationships without even knowing.
What you might be having is an affair. Real relationships take a lot of effort, no doubt there but they are always better than fake ones in the long run.
Here are the signs that you need to keep an eye out for and prevent yourself from being fooled.

1. The communication sucks
Good communication is compulsory for a healthy relationship. If you are in a relationship where you two barely communicate, you can't recall the last time you had a heart to heart with your partner, you just text each other every once in a while, it's just on and off, you are unaware of what is going on in other person's life and it generally feels like you don't know the other person then you are not really in a relationship.

2. Too much PDA (public display of affection)
You two are practically nibbling on each other. Isn't that a good thing? No it isn't.
This is indicative of over compensatory and ostentatious behaviour. You are trying to put on a show, a make-believe. It's a way of maintaining the illusion that you guys have created to lie to yourself and the others around you. If you guys are not this crazy about each other in private but can't keep your hands off each other as soon as you have company, then you have a few questions to ask...

We all know how the story goes. He asked her, "will you marry me?" She said "yes!"
We get excited about our wedding day, but forget about what it means to be in a marriage.
The definition of a wedding is "A ceremony usually with it's accompanying festivities." while the definition of a marriage is "the state of being united as spouses in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law."
Which one are we prepared for?
We want to have incredible weddings, but we also want to build incredible marriages. We invest in wedding planners, but we don't have marriage mentors...

No matter how much you try to justify being in a relationship with a married man, there are no positive reasons for dating a married man.

1. Dating a married man is just plain wrong. No reason justifies your action.

2. You will always be second best when you date a married man. Why be second best to a married man when you can be another man’s number one?


3. When you date a married man, everything about the relationship will be a secret because he doesn’t want anyone to know about the relationship.

4. You ruin your reputation when you date a married man as you give people another reason to speak poorly of you.
