Not Marriage Material?

Contrary to the wisdom of pop songs, love is not enough to make a marriage work. Getting married means sharing your entire life with another person, so you want to make absolutely sure that he/she is someone you’ll be happy spending time with day in and day out. Keep an eye out for these warning signs that he/she will make a bad wife or husband and avoid committing to the wrong person.

Warning Signs

Your partner doesn’t want your friends around

A girl who disapproves of you hanging out with your friends will become a wife who doesn’t want you to have your own life outside of the marriage. Even if she’s not that fond of your buddies, she shouldn't stand in the way of you spending time with them on your own. Provided your friends aren’t convincing you to rob banks or some other objectionable behavior, she should trust you to make your own decisions about your friends. If she tries to restrict that now, it’ll only get worse after you say your vows.

She tries to change you

If your girlfriend is constantly nitpicking about your appearance, your behavior, your personality, your career path, your friends, and your habits, she is essentially telling you that you’re not good enough for her. Everyone can make improvements in their lives, and a good partner should help you become a better man, but if she’s forever on your case about changing one thing or another, she’s going to make a bad wife.

You also have to decide whether or not the things she’s asking you to change are reasonable or out of the question. Can you give up your vision of a loft downtown for her desire for a house in the suburbs? What if you’ve always wanted to be a father and she is dead-set against having children? Ask yourself how much you’re willing to give up to please her.

Libra Love secrets...

In the first of our Love Horoscope articles we take a look at Libra


Naturally romantic, Libra considers sex a way to express their love for another. Libra doesn’t like too much coarseness or vulgarity when they become intimately involved. 

However, reluctance to assert themselves may mean others don't take their sexual and emotional needs seriously. Libra can talk themselves into bed and then out the other side. So if the temperature's rising and they're still chatting, moisten their lips with yours and give them something else to chew on. 

Libra can alternate between active and passive so best to take the initiative; start the blood pumping by kissing and caressing their back, working your way down the spine from the nape of the neck to the bottom, dwelling on area of the lower back.



How to score with a Libran: Libra is a sucker for flattery but be subtle, dress well, send flowers, ask   their opinion and use silk sheets and soft lacy pillows.

Ideal date: Start with the opera or classical concert followed by a candlelit diner and then back home for some afters.
