How to Incorporate Healthy Habits into Your Next Guys Trip
Baseball is still the great American sport and while it is slow and lacks that action that hockey, lacrosse, or even soccer have - it is a tradition that father's and sons can still celebrate each summer. Luckily there are lots of ways to get your son involved in baseball this summer on and off the field.
While most first time dads are in their 20's and 30's - I find that many of my older friends are becoming dads for the first time well into their 40's and even 50's. While these guys need the same help and inspiration as younger fathers, often they are out of place in new dad communities and forums. One topic that is very important is what clothing to pick out for their baby boys, so with some help from a couple of readers, we've put this guide together to help you new dads out there!
Going on a trip with your girlfriend sounds like plenty of fun. Well, perhaps not as exciting and wild as traveling with the boys but pretty good nevertheless. One thing about travel though is that it either strengthens relationship bonds or creates deep irreparable cracks.
Communication is tough. No matter who you're talking to or what context it's in, there's always the potential for crossed wires, misunderstandings, or just saying the wrong thing. Some of the most difficult communication to puzzle out is that between you and your romantic partner. Communicating as a couple can be so hard, especially if you both have different styles of communication. Poor communication can ruin a relationship if you're not careful, but you don't have to let it get that far. If you need to improve the communication in your relationship, take a look at the following ways to do it.
When I first presented this idea to some guy friends, they laughed. The response I got was, "why - she already has the whole house to be hers!" While that's true that generally your wife is in control of how things are organized, decorated, and even scented for most of your home - that doesn't mean it is truly a space for HER. Most women... especially those who work from home or are stay-at-home moms certainly don't look at the home as a place where she can relax and enjoy life. While she might organize the kitchen in a certain way... it's often simply so she can get her job done easier.
Men and women generally have different perspectives on almost everything in life. It's natural and it's part of the joy of a relationship as you navigate experiences together using each other's special skills and experiences. However, to keep things fresh and fun it's essential to spend time apart as well. For some couples, this can be a challenge to negotiate since the natural reaction can be, "what? You want time away from me?... do you not love me?". This was and sometimes is the way Heather feels when I want to go and just do my own stuff. However, ultimately I think it's important for both of us to spend time as independent people since that only makes it more exciting when we come back together. Here's some ways you can carve out some me time - alone or with the guys, without having to feel like you are risking damage to your relationship.
Unfortunately, Valentine's Day and Mother's Day are just two days of the year. If you’re lucky enough to have a special woman in your life then it is important to not take her for granted. Not only does she work hard, but she deals with the kids and somehow gathers enough energy to cook dinner and keep your home clean. Not only that, she keeps her composure like a saint and in general is just the most amazing person that you know. It’s understandable that you want to show her how much you appreciate everything that she does and make her feel like a million dollars at every chance you get. So, here are some inventive ideas to show your woman how much you love and appreciate her all year long.
Relationships are tricky and sometimes things don't work out. It might be "her fault" or yours, but if you think it's worth having another go at it then here are some tips to make it happen. Winning your girlfriend back or recovering from a marriage separation isn't easy and it will ultimately take time, but here's some tips to start the process.
For many of us, our wedding day was one of the best days of our lives. We were young and in love and everything seemed perfect - but in reality, most of us guys probably weren't as understanding or helpful to our brides as we should have been. There were things we did wrong or should have simply done more of. While I am happily married now and can't imagine having to do things over again - other friends of ours are planning second weddings and this gives them a new chance to do things differently.
You may think you've got time since Valentine's Day is still a couple months away but Christmas can be romantic occasion too, as can New Years Eve! One thing that I'm always a fan of us doing a plate with assorted cheeses and other items along with a favorite bottle of wine. The folks over at Whole Foods Market agreed to share some of their knowledge and hooked us up with three amazing cheese and three bottles of wine.
I've been married more than 10 years at this point and I've learned a lot. Heather and I were among the first of our friends to get married and wow things have changed a lot since then. Advertising focuses on how the ring defines the woman or empowers her or shows her your love. Even their websites feature women's rings above men's. So when Heather selected my wedding band it was her choice among very few options. Even if there were options I frankly was never prepared to communicate my desired design the way she was with hers.
We've got a few more weeks of summer left and that means that we need to use these warm sunny days the best that we can. For many of us, that means taking one last family vacation somewhere fun. However, as important as spending time with the family might be, it's also important to spend time with your wife or partner. Especially during the summer, it can be a challenge with all the other distractions. Don't let that deter you though, it's worth it and so is she!
Most sex toys for men that we've been pitched over the years focus on replicating stimulation from the front, but that's not the only area in which men can have a pleasurable experience, and things are changing. Couples are experimenting more and taboos that existed for generations are quickly fading away. LELO knows this and has updated their Hugo prostate massager to make it better and more accessible for couples who are looking for something new to try together.
For most of my adult life, the concept of sex toys was something that snickered about and where many men looked at women using them as proof that they weren't able to handle her needs. That's just not the case for most couples and in fact trying something new can be an exciting opportunity to improve communication, share a special moment together, and who knows... maybe even find out you've opened a new door that both of you can enjoy in the future as well. The first step however is reaching out to your partner and creating a conversation about the idea of introducing sex toys into your relationship.
It's always a good idea to stay safe when dating. While we think of this usually as protecting yourself from sexually transmitted diseases or pregnancy, there are a ton of other things to take into consideration too. For instance, just the act of sharing a cab together this past year could have lead to a life threatening illness. As we begin to return to normal and dating resumes it is important to remember that there are other viruses, physical, and emotional dangers to protect yourself from.
Even the best relationships can take a turn for the worse if the sexual flame between partners isn’t kept alive and well. However, that can be an extremely difficult task for some couples, especially those engaged in a long-term or long-distance union. Being able to maintain your lustful emotions for one another can start to feel like a chore after a while. And when you can’t physically touch your partner or you can’t find a way to sexually please them on a consistent basis, an otherwise solid foundation can start to crumble.
Premature ejaculation or PE is the number one most common men's sexual health problem. Let's face it - we've all gotten a bit overexcited and couldn't control ourselves. It's not fun, it can be awkward, and sometimes a bit messy. One of the challenges that we face as men is that because so much of our "male image" is tied up in sexual prowess, that failure to perform is something often shrouded in mystery, myth, and bravado. Let's take a look at a few of these myths as well as some treatments that will actually work to help you last longer.
