Interfaith Marriage : how to handle religious differences

Interfaith marriage is the marriage between two people with different religions. In an Interfaith Marriage, both partners usually practice their respective religion. This is different from a situation where one of the couple has converted to the religion of the other. Interfaith marriage may be a kind of "mixed marriage" , however, it is different from interracial and cross-cultural marriage  (which are also known as "mixed marriage").

What you need to know about loose Vagina

Vagina is the elastic, muscular tube leading from the external genitals to the cervix of the uterus in women. Vaginas are designed to help us have and enjoy sex, have periods and have babies. However, there is this popular myth about the vagina which some men strongly believe in, the myth is that vagina becomes wider or looser because a woman regularly have sexual intercourse. They think vaginal looseness is related to how much sex a woman has had, if you are one of the people that believe in this, I'm here to inform you that it is just a myth and rumour, it is not true.

Education in Marriage : Should Couple have the same level of Education?

Education is not just the act of acquiring knowledge, it is also an "enlightening experience". Education has become one of the significant signs of life results such as income, social status and employment. It is a unique predictor of "attitudes and well being". When couple have similar level of education, their interests and attitudes are more likely to be similar. When you both have different level of education however, your attitudes and interests may be quite different, for instance, you may like being intellectually challenged and your partner do not just care. Things like this may eventually lead to issues in your marriage because conflict of interests in many ways of your life may arise. As at today, some men still believe that when a woman's level of education is lower, she will be easy to handle and control, the question is - Do you really need a kind of wife you will have 100% total control over her life at this era?  If you ask me, the ...

There is usually decrease in marital satisfaction at long run for partners whose age gap is wide compare to those with small age gaps or same age.
