What Women Miss Most About Young Love
This topic is one very near and dear to my heart, particularly since I suffer from P.P.S., also known as Peter Pan Syndrome. You may think I'm pulling your chain with this self-diagnosis but I assure you I am not.

If you can relate to two or more of the traits below, than you my friend may also be suffering from this common yet unexplored disease. It can affect everything from your wardrobe to your marriage, causing one to make bad decisions like crop tops over the age of 40 and withholding sex from you partner since he no longer writes you love letters.

The Story of a "Prison Wife". Top Story - August 2017.
In the photo above, what do you see? Some would see it as a couple overcoming a task together. Perhaps she couldn't quite make the climb on the rock so she's looking to her partner for support. She has his support as he pulls her up but, if she slips, she could land up bringing them both down. This, like anything in life that involves 2 people requires trust, especially in a relationship. But what if your relationship isn't like anyone else's? Say, for instance, your significant other is incarcerated?

How To Propose
I am a very single man! Already, I know what your question is going to be. “What qualifies you to tell us guys how to propose?” I am qualified because I have friends who are married. My parents were married to each other. I have observed MANY proposals and I learn by observation. Now that we have gotten that out of the way, how did I figure out the steps? Easy!

The fraternity, the shared sense of purpose, and a wealth of proprietary experience not shared with the general public combine to bring out certain traits in active duty troops.

Sadness
Have you ever been having a good day only to come home and have your heart and soul shattered by four words? Have you ever felt the excruciating pain of feeling your heart disintegrate inside your chest? Trust me when I tell you, it is not a pleasant feeling.
