I've found that there are significant long-term benefits for couples who take the time to engage in these necessary conversations before they get married, rather than waiting (like MANY do) until they are married. Here, I break down the eight conversations you've got to have with your partner if you're thinking about getting hitched. 1. Money Talking about money can be a step towards preventing financial infidelity. The things you should be discussing include: How do you view money? Are you a spender or a saver? If you have disposable income, how do you spend it? Do you think you should have separate or joint accounts or both? Does one of you make more money than the other? If so, how will you share the expenses? What about big purchases? Do you have a budget? How will the costs of the home be paid? What about going out? Who takes on that expense? Do you get a bonus at work? What will you do with that money? 2. Sex Yep. We HAVE to talk about...

You may have just broken up with a guy, you may just be friendly with another guy, or you may have met a new guy at a party. It doesn’t matter what the circumstances are, but there’s a good chance that you may have come across a guy that fancies you and wants to go out with you. If you like the guy, it’s all fun and dandy. But if you don’t, and he’s being persistent, then you’ve got a bit of an issue on your hands. Rejecting a guy can be a sensitive matter. And it completely depends on the guy and how he’s pursuing you. Some guys may understand enough to back away when you tell them you aren’t interested. But some guys may need a firmer response to get the message across. Now, not all guys are bad. You have to understand that a guy may be persistent only because he likes you a lot. In some cases, the guy may be genuinely nice and may only want you to get to know him better. And in some other cases, he may assume you’re playing hard to get and may pursue you with ren...

Kevin De Bruyne believes Fernandinho’s return from suspension will provide the foundation for Manchester City to get their spluttering Premier League campaign back on track at West Ham on Wednesday. Pep Guardiola’s side have dropped out of the top four and trail leaders Chelsea by 12 points after winning just one of their last four league games. Guardiola wrote off City’s titles hopes during that unexpected slump, but  a comfortable 3-0 victory at Crystal Palace in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday was a much needed tonic and De Bruyne anticipates the return of Brazil midfielder Fernandinho will be even more significant. Fernandinho has served a four-match ban after receiving his third red card in six games in a win against Burnley on January 2. During Fernandinho’s absence, City looked alarmingly vulnerable and were thrashed 4-0 at Everton in Guardiola’s heaviest league defeat as a manager. But the 31-year-old is expected to return to the starting line-up at th...

Henrikh Mkhitaryan insists Manchester United are taking all four competitions they are involved in seriously as they struggle to cope with a demanding fixture schedule. Jose Mourinho’s club is the only one in England still retaining an interest in a quartet of competitions — the Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup and the League Cup, in which they can look forward to a Wembley final against Southampton next month. Their success means United could face as many as 67 games, should they advance to the finals of the other two cup competitions, and has led Mourinho to criticise the English fixture schedule as “nonsense”. But after a weekend in which a number of Premier League teams were eliminated from the FA Cup after choosing weakened line-ups, Mkhitaryan claimed United want to succeed in every tournament. “We are taking all the competitions seriously,” he said. “For Manchester United, every cup is very important.  “A trophy is a trophy. It doesn’t matter if ...

The United States government has reacted to claims that Nigeria’s former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is wanted in, or barred from entering the country. The US Govt said it would require the legal consent of Atiku Abubakar before releasing information about his immigration status in the country; PREMIUM TIMES reports. “U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is prohibited by law from releasing such information without the written legal consent of the individual about whom you are asking these questions,” Julie, a Senior Public Information Officer at U.S. CBP said in an email response.
