How do I man up in a relationship?

  It depends upon the idea of “man" you've in your mind. If according to you a “man" in the relationship is someone who's superior, dominant to the position of becoming a master to the girlfriend/wife, I suggest you first change the definition. If according to an Indian woman, you want to “man" up in a relationship, these are some things that you should rather be doing. Spend time with her. Talk to her. Communicate with her. Tell her about how your day was. Tell her about your fears and tensions. Tell her your secrets and tell her what's keeping you up at night. Gossip about your friends, family, and work with her. And do hear her out when she does the same. Remember little things about her. How she takes her tea. How she feels cold in the month of December. How she always forgets her medicines. Tell her you love her, and how lucky you're to have her, try it as often as you could. Do you want to bring out the best woman in her? Tell her these things as mu

What are the benefits of getting married later in life?

  I'm getting married at the age of 28, with my long-term guy after spending almost 7–8 years with him, when he's 29 himself. According to the Indian scenario, we both would be considered late for marriage but we're okay and happy about it. Why? You ask. We have spent 7–8 years with each other.

Should your partner be considered more important than your family?

  First 25 years— Your family is more important than everyone. Your life revolves around your birth family, parents, siblings, cousins, etc. Friends, boyfriend/girlfriend does exist but doesn't matter much like family does because real and active life lies with the family. All your needs and demands are met by the family. All in all your parents/siblings > the world. After 25 years- You either get married by this age or most probably you get into a serious relationship. You start spending and sharing less time with your parents and family and more with your partner. Your siblings too start getting married or moving away. Even you move away in most cases. Your needs become dependent on your partner more than your family. If you're married you begin a new family with your spouse. After marriage,l everyone takes their spouse (and kids if they exist) with themselves leaving their birth family behind if they settle somewhere else. If you're married you yourself feel one with
