Older Women, Younger Men: Does It Really Work?
Older men have dated younger women for centuries, but in the past decade, the tables have turned: Older women are now coupling with younger men in droves.One-third of single women between 40 and 60 are currently dating younger men--and for some very interesting reasons.
Happily Ever After?
Women prefer to date younger men because they have less baggage from previous relationships. Older women also enjoy the flexibility and spontaneity of their younger companions. In addition, more and more women are pointing to companionship and travel as their top priorities, rather than settling down.
And men have jumped on the bandwagon, too. A recent Match.com poll revealed that the majority of the site's male members were willing to date up in age.
What's more, it's gone beyond dating: 12 percent of all marriages were between older women and younger men. This doesn't mean, however, that relationships between older women and younger men are problem-free.The biggest issue between May-December couples is the same one that challenges the success of any relationship: different priorities.
Tips for Success
The key to long-term relationship success is choosing someone with a similar "voltage type," meaning someone who has the same intensity for life that you do.

How To date a Divorce Man
If you’ve just begun dating a divorced man, you may soon realize that the “regular” dating rules don’t always apply. Whether it’s due to encounters with his ex, issues concerning his children or heavier-than-average baggage, dating a divorced man can be especially challenging. For tips on how to enjoy a fulfilling relationship with a divorced man.Read through this. And ask your self if dating a Divorce Man is really for you. Sort Through the Baggage to Decide if He’s Right for You.
In which ways is dating a divorced man different than dating a man who has never been married?
Divorced men have more baggage than never-married men. And while baggage doesn’t have to be a negative thing, it does create more challenges that you will need to be prepared for.
Well, first and foremost, all divorced men have an ex-wife. Because marriage is such a serious commitment, ex-wives tend to have more power than ex-girlfriends, even after the marriage ends. If they had kids together, she will always be in the picture, feel protective toward her kids, and feel she has certain privileges with him due to having had his children. What’s more, women without kids may be surprised by the amount of time and care that children require, which will influence the freedom the couple has. Lastly, divorce can be financially devastating. On top of the actual divorce costs and having to split up all the family assets, divorced men may have child support or alimony obligations. These factors will influence his future—and his future with you.
When dating a divorced man, is there anything in particular that women should be wary of?
Women should definitely be on the lookout for a guy who’s not yet over his marriage. He’ll talk excessively about the marriage, ex-wife, or divorce, frequently praise or badmouth his ex, and spend more time with the ex than is necessary for children or polite friendship. It’s OK if he displays these signs once in a while, but they should not occur frequently.
In your opinion, are most divorced men looking for another long-term relationship?
A: Some divorced men, especially if the divorce is recent, may be more interested in having fun than in having a relationship. Unfortunately, they may not be aware of this, or if they are, they may not share it with you. Usually after being single for a couple of years, the issues surrounding a man’s divorce — and his grief about it — will resolve itself.
When it comes to dating divorced men, are there definite don’ts?
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Find out if his divorce is final, when he separated, if he has children, why his marriage ended, etc. Also, don’t give too much too soon. Divorced men, especially if still divorcing or recently divorced, can be needy. Never give more than you are getting.

Mothers Day
Saturday, May 10, 2008
Here is a Mother's Day Poem to all Mom's Out there.
Happy Mother's Day
M - O - T - H - E - R
"M" is for the million things she gave us,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save us,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell
"MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to us.
Happy Mother's Day
Her love is like
an island in life's ocean,
vast and wide
A peaceful, quiet shelter
From the wind, the rain, the tide.
'Tis bound on the north by Hope,
By Patience on the West,
By tender Counsel on the South
And on the East by Rest.
Above it like a beacon light
Shine Faith, and Truth, and Prayer;
And thro' the changing scenes of life
I find a haven there.
