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.

No matter how great your partner may be, when your family doesn’t get along with them, there’s going to be some serious complications. Not only does this create issues and tension in your romantic relationship, but in your relationship with your parents as well. Whether you still live at home, see your parents every weekend, or just on the holidays, you’re going to face difficulties if they’re not supportive of your significant other.

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)

Unless you’re under a rock, you’ve probably heard that Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin recently consciously uncoupled. It’s a bummer–I thought they were the golden couple that would shame all other Hollywood divorcees by going the distance. The truth is that it’s not surprising they split if you look at their astrological compatibility. The REAL reason they split is because Gwyneth, a Libra, and Chris, a Pisces, are completely star-crossed.
On this week’s Single in Stilettos show, founder Suzanne Oshima talks to relationship strategist Joe Amoia about whether or not men are really intimidated by strong and independent women. While that may the case, there’s a chance that you’re making the biggest and most common mistakes made by career women, including: acting too self-sufficient, bringing masculine energy on a date with you, lacking vulnerability, and more.

It’s always nice to sit down and talk about how much your love has blossomed since you first met. Since spring is in full bloom, this is the perfect time to take a look back at your relationship. You and your partner can even create a special book to write down and document the moments you’ve most enjoyed with each other. We’ve pulled together these five articles from our partners to give ideas on which memories to highlight:
1. Saying hello: Every couple has a unique story about how they first laid eyes on each other. Don’t let that story fade from memory! Write it down as your own little love story so you can tell it with ease to your children and grandchildren someday. (YourTango.com)
2. Getting married: It’s time to mark down the day you took your relationship to the next stage: happily ever after. Continue your love story by adding pictures and special memories from the magical day you tied the knot. Attach little trinkets to the pages such as dried flowers or confetti to add an even more personal touch. (GalTime.com)
3. Picking out your first pet: There comes a time in almost every relationship where you become the parents of a cute little animal. Whether it’s is a puppy or a kitten, your first pet together is just as special as a child. Pets, much like children, need lots of love and affection, so this can be a good opportunity to see how your partner will be as a possible parent. They’ll also be there to snuggle on days when your sweetie needs to work late. (GalTime.com)
4. Having children: Having children together is a big step in a relationship whether you chose to go through pregnancy or adopt. These little bundles of joy will be your beckon of hope in the darkest of storms, so they deserve a special place in the documenting of your love story. Read how this family became advocates for adoption and how parenting has changed their relationship for the better. (CelebrityBabyScoop.com)
5. Learning lessons: Each relationship has their fair share of lessons that have been learned over the years. Writing these down can also give you something to look back on if your children ever look to you for relationship advice as they get older. Take some time to read through some of these love lessons and jot down a few of your own. (YourTango.com)

Dating someone with a different career than yours is exactly what Scarlett Johansson has chosen to do. The Vanity Fair cover girl made it known things are much easier dating a non-actor. According to UsMagazine.com, the Captain America starlet discussed her relationship with French journalist Romain Dauriac, saying, “It is [easier], but it’s more than that. We do different things. He’s in the whole art-scene world. So it’s nice, because we can enjoy each other’s worlds, but we don’t have our crazy conflicting schedules and all that other stuff to contend with.” Johansson went onto joke about her beau: “And, you know, of course, actors, in general, they’re obsessed with emotions. Although, [Romain is] French, so he’s also probably overly into his emotions.” The couple is expecting their first child in August.
