Recently I took a job that will require me to be gone 5 days a week and I will only see my wife on the weekends. Luckily it’s only for a few weeks because I’m on day 3 and I can tell you it already sucks. I truly enjoy being with my wife and being apart is really tough on both of us.

The decision to have sex isn’t one that should be taken lightly, but it’s a personal choice. You may choose to wait until the love of your life comes along or you may not (just make sure you’re always safe). In Hollywood, many celebrities are quick to hop into bed with the next star they see standing next to them on the red carpet, but this isn’t true for every person who has the spotlight shining down on them. Some celebrities pledge abstinence because of their religious beliefs, while others hold out until marriage out of respect for themselves. Here are five couples who waited until their big day:

But, have you ever wondered about celebrities who managed to hold onto their romance after they disappeared from the A-List? Cupid did some investigation to figure out which stars lost their fame, but not their love:

How do you get a man to commit? This is the one million dollar question I get asked every single day.
My answer is that first off, you need to make a commitment to yourself because it all starts from knowing and loving who you are. You can’t get a man to commit until you’ve accomplished this and until you’ve worked through any relationship issues. This includes dealing with all of your past relationships and knowing exactly what makes you happy.

All of our lives, we’re advised against allowing ourselves to fall in love too fast. They (whoever “they” are) tell us love should happen deliberately, gradually, over a moderate amount of time to have truly legitimate long-term potential. That certainly sounds like sound advice. A cautious approach to new love is never in any way inappropriate. Better safe than sorry.
Here’s a question for all the single ladies and gentleman out there — do you think you are capable of casual dating? Casual dates usually start off a relationship before it blooms into something more. Casual dating is nonchalant, laid back and non-committal. It is a form of dating that comes without any serious intention or definition, allowing you to explore the field and keep your options open for a possible partner. This type of dating gives you the opportunity to be fun, open and discover the type of person you should be with for the rest of your life.

What are some creative ways to renew your wedding vows?
You notice that your partner has been acting differently lately.The occasional late night work meeting now falls on every day of the week. He or she has been constantly texting and having secret telephone conversations in the bathroom. The scent of a different perfume or cologne lingers on their clothing. There’s an emotional distance in your relationship that ceased to exist before. You have a gut feeling of what is really going on, but you don’t want to believe it. Plus, there is no proof … until you get a call from a friend letting you know they have spotted your other half in a compromising position with another person at a local restaurant. You rush over to find your beau holding hands, kissing and gazing lovingly into the eyes of someone else. All you see is red through the blurred vision of your tears.

The other day a friend asked me, “What am I going to do? I can’t live without him in my life. How do I go on? He was my life.” When faced with being alone after your relationship ends, it literally feels as if you don’t know who you are, where you are and how you got there.
Your life was so intertwined with your partner’s life that it seems that the two of you became one. No wonder people tend to use the cliché, “A part of me is missing.”

Celebrity relationships always seem like they’re over before they start, but for some women who look outside the world of entertainment it appears that long-lasting love becomes a possibility. Is that the key to finding love in Hollywood, or is it easier to date someone in the biz since they may be able to better understand the pressures of the industry? Cupid takes a look at a few relationships between celebrity women and “normal” men:

The picture, captioned by Bieber, stated, “‘You’ve been makin music for too long babe come cuddle’ – her.” Rumors about the couple rekindling their love have circulated ever since they were seen kissing backstage during Bieber’s concert in Norway. Gomez also went on record to say that the fans should not take every move they make seriously. The couple broke up in December 2012, but a source close to Gomez said, “Justin pursued Selena and she gave in.” Will the relationship last this time? “Who knows with them?” the source said. “They’re always back and forth!”

Miley Cyrus recently opened up to Elle UK about her engagement to Liam Hemsworth. The couple got engaged a year ago. “We have a house together and dogs. It just seems right to be wearing this ring and to be committed,” Cyrus said. “But we keep our relationship low-key and don’t talk about it any more.” According to UsMagazine, Cyrus has decided to keep her personal life and relationship to herself and away from the spotlight. “We were too nice to the world and gave them too much insight — into my life and my puppies and my house —- and I just don’t feel they get that privilege any more,” Cyrus explained. “Like on my Twitter, I’m much more . . . not conservative, but you don’t see a picture of my dogs. You don’t get that personal stuff any more.”
