We need to move away from all the divorces and build long-lasting marriages.

In today's society, there is a huge problem with instant gratification. Anything you want can be easily given to you, and you don't really have to wait for much. So that means that when we do have to wait for something we tend to get pretty grumpy.

So why should we wait for our relationship to progress and get married to start having sex, I mean it feels good right?

However, many people don't understand the long-term implications of having sex with somebody you barely know. I myself believe in being chaste until marriage, but I will write to more than just that audience because everybody has different values and I'm not going to change them on that. T

When getting into a relationship there are so many more important and precious things about a person than their crack-a-lacking body. Plus, there are a variety of issues that come from doing this. You make your whole relationship based on superficial happiness instead of long-term, the minute one of you decides that you're not happy with how it is going anymore the relationship is over. If you instead get into a relationship with them because you enjoy their personality, you will be able to love them even when they may have made you mad doing something stupid.

I believe that this issue may come from the fact that we believe that we can find our soulmate by kissing them or seeing what chemistry we have with them. However, I believe that there are many different personalities or people that we could end up marrying, it just depends on where we are in our lives and where they are in their life. Plus, the added pressure of saying that somebody is your soulmate and that you could be with no one else can sometimes add extra pressure to your relationship that it may not be able to withstand.

I believe the best way to start a relationship is to go on friendly dates and just get to know them. It's even better if you have been friends with someone for awhile because people are more willing to expose the true side of themselves when you are friends with them compared to when you are going on a date with them. Everybody wants to make the best impression they can on a date, so sometimes they will lie and act differently to ensure you want to go on another date with them.

There is nothing wrong with having sex in a relationship, but it is better to wait so that it's an added intimacy and not what the whole relationship is about. So when you think of the next person you want to date, think about if your personalities are compatible or if you just like them because of their body.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
