Women Today

“I take you to be my lawfully wedded wife/ husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part. And hereto I pledge my faithfulness.”

The story of my mother can’t be told in a day, not even in a year. It stretches to eternity. Long departed from this wretched earth, my mother, the memory of her, lingers on and on. 

Over the weekend, as I chatted with friends online, up came the most debated topic in relationship history – cheaters!  These chicks had nothing polite to say about men, in fact, at one point; I thought they were going to start a riot. They conveniently left out the part where women cheat too and insisted that if and when women do it, they have good reasons! I’m sorry, what? 

“Office romance” is slowly but gradually mushrooming. This relationship can either blossom into a beautiful marriage or end in heart break. The most important thing here is to stay focused at work and maintain a gracious and conducive environment for each other and fellow colleagues. Some companies have policies that go against office dating while some encourage it. It has widely known that familiarity brings contempt. When two people are familiar with each other, the relationship stagnates. People dating at work should try to be as unpredictable as possible so that the other person can look forward to something new in you. 

As I was perusing my favourite online magazines, I came across an article that was discussing the downsides of the “hook-up” culture in universities. Young men and women across the world in university are currently learning about the dos and don’ts of the college lifestyle, the late nights, the horrible diets and for most, the constant partying that comes with the need to explore the aspect of sex or in university-speak, ‘hooking up’.

Guys, I met this nice guy but later learned he is married. Before I could leave him, he told me he wants a child because his wife has failed to conceive. Now, he is asking me to bear a child for him. 

I weigh 98 kgs but I started working out every three days a week. I am always super hungry every time I’m from the gym. However, I can’t control myself from eating too much. What should I do? I worry that the gym sessions won’t be effective but every time I get hungry, I just want to eat! What’s your advice for me?

One of the most painful things a woman can go through is a miscarriage. Just the thought of having a baby and the joy of having it grow in your womb is incredible and this leads to unimaginable pain when one miscarries.
