Blog Action Day: Fight Climate Change “twogether”
This year’s Blog Action Day is focused on climate change and blogs around the world are contributing their own view on climate change and what could be done to prevent it.
As a blog on love, relationships and matchmaking, we would like to look at the effects of people living as singles vs. living in a relationship on climate change. Living “twogether” in a relationship is far more eco-friendly than living alone, so any couple living together – even without much of a green attitude – is doing more to fight climate change than a single person with the greenest intentions.
Here’s how couples contribute to the fight against climate change:
- A shared home is more environmentally friendly than individual households. A couple requires less space than two singles, which means less building, less land claimed for residential development, less CO2 emissions from construction work.
- Couples can save on heating, as they share a living space that only needs to be heated once. Also, don’t overrate the effect of body heat when you cuddle up in bed
Who needs an electric blanket, when they have the one they love to keep them warm at night? Read more

Dating Humor: How To Stop A Row In 30 Seconds
The word “whipped” springs to mind… But it’s in the “Dating Humour” category! But then again, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t contain some good advice!
All of Ben and Sarahs relationship problem-solving videos are here. We think “How To Be The Perfect Boyfriend” and “How To Be The Perfect Girlfriend” are a good place to start 
The Science of Love
Guys – ever wondered about the science of love? Like why you fall in love with a certain woman, why you’re attracted to another woman and why you settle down with yet another one (or if you’re very lucky with one woman covers all three bases – love, sexual attraction and attachment).
One brave writer set out to discover the science of love – more specifically, the science of his love for his wife – and to find out if it’s as strong and real as he thought it was. He was put in an MRI scanner while thinking about and looking at photos of his wife and – tough competition – Angelina Jolie. The activity in certain areas of his brain supposedly tells him how strong his feelings of love, sexual attraction and romantic attachment really are.
Would you dare (literally) show your emotions like that ? And, more importantly, would you want to show them to the woman you love?
What Men Think, Want, Feel
Every woman has probably asked herself what men want. Because if a woman wants to find herself a man (and even if not), a bit of inside information can’t hurt. For instance, what are these three men thinking (other than “man, do we look cool”)? Maybe the results of the 2008 askmen survey will help us find out what men want, think and feel…
Of course the study deals with issues surrounding love, sex and relationships, but also lifestyle, work and money. Let’s take a look at some of the love, sex and relationship questions: Read more
Can You Love More than One Person?
Can you love more than one person at a time? That’s the central question that comes up every time the subject of polyamory is discussed. If you don’t know what polyamory means, this article about a polyamorous relationship explains it quite well.
Basically, polyamory is about loving more than one person at a time, but also leading simultaneous relationships with each one of those people. It’s not about “cheating”, nor about sleeping around or being promiscuous. It’s about couples, who make a conscious and open decision to share each other with several partners – not just physically, but emotionally. Read more
