Top 5 Valentine’s Day Gifts for Students on a Budget
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, people are starting to think about gifts (hopefully). I think a common misconception is that gifts for Valentine’s Day need to be over the top and expensive. Now, while it is nice to get something expensive, a lot of people are on budgets and don’t necessarily have disposable income to spend on extravagant gifts. But not having a lot of money is not an excuse to do NOTHING for Valentines Day. There are lots of inexpensive ways to show people that you care. As I write this, I hear the voices of people in my head complaining about Valentine’s Day being “so commercial” and that “you should show people you care everyday and not wait for a holiday to show your appreciation,” now, while I respect those opinions, I still absolutely love the holiday (ha!). If you and your significant other have decided not to celebrate the holiday, I say more power to you, but if you are celebrating the day, check out some inexpensive gift ideas below.

36 Years and Counting…Dad’s Perspective
The subject of marriage is one that has had more than its fair share of attention. Many good books have been written on the subject and a whole industry has developed around it. The hundreds of books that are written and the many seminars and workshops that are held on the subject annually all have one goal: to help already married couples and prospective married couples achieve a successful, fulfilling relationship. I think those marriages that succeed, the ones in which the two people seem to be perpetually in love, are the ones that use these resources not as gospel, but as tools to help the couple discover their own particular formula for making their relationship work. Sophia and I have taken advantage of some of these resources and I think we’ve found what works for us. Of course, we are aware that one danger to the health of our relationship is believing that we’ve arrived – that we know all there is to know about keeping our marriage healthy. We often remind each other of this trap and continually seek opportunities to grow our relationship.

Relationship Poll: The Dating Gender Roles Debate…
As I was heading out for drinks with some colleagues yesterday, we started talking about dating and relationships, now you all know it’s probably one of my least favorite topics to discuss, but I thought what the heck, be a good sport and participate. Well it wasn’t long before we got on the topic of gender roles in the courting process. Now I am a woman who has never asked a man on a date, just the thought of it makes me break out in a cold sweat, lol. When my male colleague heard this he was shocked. He quickly told me that I needed to step my dating views up to the 21st century and how the game has changed. According to him, women approach him all the time and he appreciates it. While I do not see anything wrong with a woman knowing what she wants and going after it (I’m very much a believer of that in the majority on my life), I have been told by both males and females, that if a man really wants something there is nothing that can keep him from getting it, and that includes talking to or being with a woman that he likes. So I am conflicted, which is why I am hoping to get some help in this weeks relationship poll. So here it goes…
