As you grow up, friendship is the thing that drifts away most easily. Work, vacation, relationships, family times — they’re all so important to life that it’s just hard to put friendship at a higher priority.  

Have you ever been at dinner at a friend’s home, you and your friends just didn’t have anything to talk about and had to force yourselves to just talk about something, like “so how have you been doing?”, or “oh the food is good…”?

Having sex at least once a week is the equivalent of earning an extra $50,000 per year, a new study suggests.

Anybody who’s happy with their sex life might not be shocked to hear that, but researchers wanted to pinpoint why, exactly, regular sex provides such a sense of well-being. So a group of University of Toronto researchers set out to do just that by conducting a few different experiments. Their results, which will be published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, suggest that it all comes down to cuddling.

You might think that when presented with a never-ending supply of potential suitors, people would be getting pickier.

After all, with a lot of dating websites like Match and eHarmony, users can specify almost everything they’re looking for in a partner, so why wouldn’t you be choosy?

New research has revealed, however, that people are in fact lowering their standards as a result of dating apps and sites.

"I'm addicted to you, don't you know that you're toxic".  Britney Spears makes toxicity in a relationship sound good, however enter into relationships with toxic and negative individuals usually has adverse effects. We all know someone bright, talented and kind that has been decimated by relationships with narcissistic partners.

The study, carried out across 17 years over 47 U.S states, saw the biggest drop among gay, lesbian and bisexual young people, with 14 percent less suicide attempts. It translates to roughly 134,000 fewer teens. As Forbes reports, it’s halfway to the government’s federal goal of reducing teen suicide by 10 percent in 2020. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among 15 to 24-year-olds, according to the U.S Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, with numbers rising significantly among LGBTQ people.

Until you meet "the one" all the other people you date are fillers.  Sometimes you can sense right away that the person you're currently dating isn't the one you're meant to be with, and sometimes it takes a little bit longer.  Whenever it occurs its never a good feeling.

As someone who evetually wants to find a life partner, possibly get married, I date with that intent.  I have a difficult time understanding how other people manage to date people they know they aren't going to share their lives with.

We love love and love seeing couples in love.  When I get engaged I want to have a documentary style video like this one to show my grandkids. Dustin and Alex say they met and the connection was instant and that one of the best things about their relationshipo is that they bring out the best in each other.

A good night’s sleep may reinforce negative memories in the brain, researchers say, lending scientific cred to the age old caution against going to bed angry.

Slipping into slumber while holding on to a freshly-formed bad memory engraves it in the brain, making it harder to shake off later, a team from China and the United States reported in the journal Nature Communications.

“This study suggests that there is certain merit in this age-old advice: ‘Do not go to bed angry,’” study co-author Yunzhe Liu, who conducted the research at Beijing Normal University, told AFP.

If you smoke marijuana and your partner does too, we have good news for you: you’re likely in the least abusive kind of relationship.

A University of Buffalo study that was meant to be looking at how alcohol affects couples actually found that partners who smoke weed together reported a lower level of aggression towards each other.

Although marijuana is most often associated with relaxed, low-key behaviour, in certain individuals it can cause anxiety and paranoia, notes the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.
