We all know that trends come and go. This idea holds true for the dating world too. What you’re used to now may not have been the same during the time of your grandparents, and it’ll certainly change again when your grandchildren are dating. Still, some things remain classic. We pulled these five articles from our partners to keep you up-to-date on relationship trends:
1. Open relationships: Although most people believe in monogamy, there seems to be a rise in couples who practice an open relationship. Some even think it’s a way to keep their marriage from ending in divorce. Experts have used the recent split of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin as an example. Take a look at this article to find out more. (YourTango.com)
2. Dating through the ages: It’s no secret that the rules of dating change as you get older. Looking for love in your teens is radically different than dating in your 30s. Check out this video that explains how age impacts the way people view relationships. (GalTime.com)
3. Baby before marriage: It seems like more and more couples are having children before marriage. Much like Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, the sequence of love seem to have been altered with the current generation. Although plenty of couples continue to marry first, as long as both parents take the responsibility that comes with a child, this alternative approach doesn’t seem as harmful to relationships as some may think. (GalTime.com)
4. Going green: Loving the Earth shouldn’t be designated to just one day, and Raphael Sbarge feels the same way. As becoming Earth conscious gains popularity, so do the combined efforts of partners looking to lessen their ecological footprint. Whether it’s buying cloth diapers for your child, supporting local farmers, or composting for your garden, this is one topic that deserves to stay in fashion. (CelebrityBabyScoop.com)
5. Timeless classics: Not everything needs to change with the time. A simple ‘I love you’ can say more than one would think. Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul knows how to brighten his wife’s life — and how to make us fall more in love with him! Check out how he makes Lauren feel like a queen each day. (YourTango.com)

A June wedding invite came in the mail for my husband and me this week. Ahhh, I think June is still the month for weddings, although I have read that October is quickly matching it for the month chosen by brides.
I met the groom-to-be a couple of years ago at a film festival where the documentary produced by him was being previewed. Dan and the other two creators of the film Give a Damn had decided in their mid-twenties to travel to one of the poorest countries in Africa. This film was to bring awareness to the world, to encourage those who saw the film to be proactive, to become involved in whatever manner they chose to be involved.

Although the 21st century has made it seem like ambitious women often end up alone, Dr. Sonya Rhodes assures us that this message is completely false. In her new book The Alpha Woman Meets Her Match: How Today’s Strong Women Can Find Love and Happiness Without Settling, the relationship therapist argues successful, modern, career-driven women can meet The One without changing — and she shows them how.
Rhodes advises women to look past the overly competitive, domineering alpha male and instead find a man who’s in touch with his inner beta qualities — someone who is communicative, responsible, thoughtful, and collaborative. Demonstrating that most people are a combination of both sets of qualities, she includes a revealing test to help readers define where they (and their partners) are on the spectrum.

Spring has always been known as a time for new beginnings. If you and your partner are expecting a baby, it’s best to be prepared in every sense of the word. Whether this is your first or fourth child, it helps to read up on pregnancy and parenting. We pulled together five articles from our partners to help you on the journey ahead:
1. Go green: Earth day is right around the corner, and these celebrity moms are doing everything they can to do their part. Whether it’s eating organic or purchasing recycled goods, every little bit can help protect Mother Nature, so why not get your children started young? Simple choices, such as cloth diapering, can go a long way. (CelebrityBabyScoop.com)
2. Stay active: Being the healthiest you can be can be incredibly important to both you and your unborn child. While you won’t be able to go hard at the gym anymore, that doesn’t mean you have to give up your workout altogether. Check out this set of pregnancy friendly exercise moves to keep you active and moving. (GalTime.com)
3. Break from routine: When it comes to raising a family, it’s easy to get comfortable and find yourself in the same routine. In order to become a better parent — or person in general — sometimes, you need to break from that routine and walk a different path. This can include anything from physical activities to expressing unique ideas and opinions. If you’re confident in yourself, your children will grow up with you as a role model and structure themselves in the same way. (YourTango.com)
4. Sleep train your infant: It’s no secret that the first few months are going to be full of sleepless nights, but at four months, the baby is developmentally ready to be put on a schedule. That means sleeping peacefully through the night for both you and your little one. What parent doesn’t want that? Take a look at this article to find out more! (GalTime.com)
5. Live your dreams: Some people put a lot of focus into becoming a parent. Comedian Mike Myers was no different. In the previous years, he stated that fatherhood was something he always dreamed of. His wife has made that possible for him — not once, but twice. The couple welcomed a son in 2011 and a daughter earlier this week. (YourTango.com)

7 Finding love is hard enough, but when you’re working overtime and never leave work on time, it can seem impossible. For this week’s Single in Stilettos show, founder Suzanne Oshima talks to life stylist and mind body coach Diana Antholis about how women can succeed at the office and still meet their soul mate.
If you’re facing this dilemma, she recommends that you identify your priorities and make time for what’s important; be open and tell people you’re looking for the right man; pick something new and step out of your comfort zone; indulge in “me” time; and indulge in doing an activity that gives you good energy.

8 On today’s Single in Stilettos show, founder and matchmaker Suzanne Oshima talks to dating and relationship coach Jonathon Aslay about why men disappear. Have you ever been happily dating someone when he suddenly stops texting and calling? It can leave you feeling hurt, vulnerable, and confused. You may blame yourself (as many women do), but Aslay wants you to know that it probably has nothing to do with you. A man may disappear because of his own issues.

In this week’s dating advice video, relationship expert and E!’s Famously Single dating coach, Laurel House shares her thoughts on the sexiest trait that attracts any guy. “Did you know many of my clients who are seemingly the total package can’t get a guy to ask them on a fourth — or sometimes even a second — date? Do you know why?” the dating expert asks. “It’s actually the most important thing when it comes to attracting a guy.” It’s not about looks or even being the total package; it’s a trait that’s available to average or even below-average women.

Sometimes, you just need a little liquid courage to go over and talk to the blue-eyed Adonis you’ve been staring at all night. A bar is a convenient place where single people can let loose and have some fun. But while bars attract singles like moths to a flame, if you’re looking for a long-term relationship, your local watering hole may not be the best place to find Mr. or Mrs. Right. U.S. dating site PlentyOfFish conducted a comprehensive research study and found that the drinking habits of single people are very much correlated to whether or not they are looking for true love or a casual fling.

Rushing into a new relationship is never a good idea. You don’t know the person you’re dating well enough for a commitment, and you’ll just end up right back where you started shortly after attempting the new romance. Take a step back from the dating scene and reevaluate what you want out of a partner. Cupid has some advice:

Warmer weather is upon us, and as the flowers begin to bloom, so does romance. Take this time to focus on incorporating new and interesting things into your relationship. It can be as extravagant as a new vacation spot or as simple as showing support for a good cause. We pulled together these five articles from our partners to help give you some ideas:
1. Break away from reality: You don’t have to be a college student to go on spring break. You and your partner deserve a vacay just as much as anyone else! There are plenty of romantic getaway spots that are perfect for kick-starting this spring with your sweetheart. (GalTime.com)
2. Inspire your love: Turn your typical movie night into a time to take notes and make a list of ways you can spice up your love life with the help of the classics. For instance, if you’re a fan of Dirty Dancing, try incorporating some of those dance moves into your night — a simple yet fun way to add some excitement to your at-home date. (YourTango.com)
3. Get involved: Once it warms up, there are tons of options for walks and events that raise money for various organizations. Pick a cause that both you and your partner want to support and do it together. Not only will it give you a chance to bond, but you’ll feel good about making a difference. For inspiration, check out how Bobbi Brown Cosmetics is giving back to the community. (CelebrityBabyScoop.com)

5. Express your love: As you’re spring cleaning your house, leave little notes around for your partner, letting them know how much you love them. Don’t live with your sweetheart? No problem!

7 On this week’s Single in Stilettos show, founder Suzanne Oshima talks with relationship strategist Joe Amoia about why quick fix dating tips don’t work. He believes that the reason they don’t work is because they’re just that — a quick fix! They won’t give you the long-term results that you want when it comes to your love life. Instead, you need to explore the true cause of your dating problems. Look inward and try to identify repeating patterns or issues that always come up.

According to People, the leader singer of Neon Trees Tyler Glenn opened up about his sexuality, revealing that he was gay. He started sharing the news with loved ones last October. Glenn grew up in a Mormon church and says he’s dealt with a “complicated relationship” with religion. “I’ve always felt like I’m an open book, and yet obviously I haven’t been completely,” he told Rolling Stone. Glenn also explained how he’s been inspired by current sport figures openly discussing their sexuality. “I appreciated [that] Michael Sam was like, ‘I want to be able to go to the movies and hold hands with my boyfriend.’ Even hearing him say ‘boyfriend’, I was like, ‘that’s cool.'”
