Every marriage goes through ups and downs. A number of marriages also go through times of severe turmoil, such as deaths in the family, chronic illnesses, unfaithfulness, or national disasters. Some marriages hold strong during any ups and downs, others begin to crumble. For any marriage in crisis, however, marital counseling can help. Each couple’s marriage is, of course, unique.

And, the sooner the couple starts counseling, the better the couple’s chances of saving their marriage.

How to be a better girlfriend is something us women ask a lot. When you initially get together it is easy to keep the spark alive.

If you're wondering how to be a challenge to your girlfriend? Is it because you are afraid you are about to be dumped? Women often like their men to be a tough nut to crack. They seem to respect those men who are not afraid to live their life their way more than the man who agrees with everything they say. Sure they may complain their boyfriends aren't sentiment or in touch with their feelings but underneath they like it. So how do you become a challenge?

She will slowly get the message that you have a life and while she is important to you, your letting her know just because she calls - your n...
