7 KINDS OF RELATIONSHIPS THAT MAY NEVER LEAD TO MARRIAGE

You know it’s of a truth that not every relationship one goes into would lead to marriage; most relationships would just fizzle out on the surface, why some would last for a while then comes to an end, with some even lasting a pretty long time but still won’t result to marriage. Most times, you might want to get married to your partner, but your partner wouldn’t want to get married to you and that’s another harsh reality. So, how do you know your relationship wouldn’t lead to marriage? What kind of relationships don’t lead to marriage?

1. DESPERATION OR SURVIVAL RELATIONSHIP
This kind of relationship, is type in which one partner is highly desperate for marriage. Such relationship might never lead to marriage because desperation isn’t a good quality. Being desperate would throw you in bad light, show your many flaws and could even make your partner feel edgy about getting married to you. Lot’s of desperate ladies end up not marrying their man.

2. THE SEX ONLY RELATIONSHIP
Lots of relationships out there can be referred to as the ‘s*x only’ kind of relationship. In such a relationship, s*x is the long-term and short-term goal of the relationship. A relationship that’s built solely around s*x might never lead to marriage

3. EXPERIMENTAL RELATIONSHIP
I term relationships that keep going back and forth as experimental relationships. Any relationship without stability might never lead to marriage; if all you and your partner do is breakup today and make-up the next day then it shows a sign of incompatibility or that you haven’t found solutions to your relationship problems. If such a relationship leads to marriage, it wouldn’t fare any better.

4. LIVING TOGETHER WITHOUT FUTURE GOALS
The fact that you are living together with your man is no guarantee that such cohabitation would lead to marriage. If there is no marriage in sight, or talks about it, or at least talks about the future or each other’s long-term goals then you might cohabit for a long time, and it would only end there.

5. VALIDATION RELATIONSHIP
This is the kind of relationship where one of the partners seeks other people’s responses and validation before approving to anything. Such a relationship has the feeling of insecurity around it and might never lead to marriage.

6. RELATIONSHIPS WITHOUT LONG-TERM GOALS
A relationship that’s built for the short-term would probably only last the short-term. In relationships that might lead to marriage, both partners (not one) have each other’s future in mind and care about the long-term future of the relationship. When you and your partner never discuss your long-term goals with each other and think about the relationship’s future then marriage might just be a dream that would never happen.

7. THE PASS TIME RELATIONSHIP
In this kind of relationship, it’s mostly about the s*x, the fun and the pleasure. Couples like this have fun in abundance; but deep down, they both have the feeling that it wouldn’t lead to marriage. Such a relationship lacks the commitment and seriousness to walk down the aisle.

Most of this listed above types of relationship may eventually lead to marriage but will definitely end up as a failed marriage.

WHAT MAKES YOU SNORE

Snoring is a common condition that can affect anyone, although it occurs more frequently in men and people who are overweight.

Snoring has a tendency to worsen with age. Occasional snoring is usually not very serious and is mostly a nuisance for your bed partner.
However, if you are a habitual snorer, you not only disrupt the sleep patterns of those close to you, but you also impair your owns sleep quality.

What makes you Snore?
Snoring occurs when the flow of air through the mouth and nose is physically obstructed. Air flow can be obstructed by a combination of factors, including:

1. Obstructed nasal airways: 
Some people snore only during allergy seasons or when they have a sinus infection. Deformities of the nose such as a deviated septum(a structural change in the wall that separates one nostril from the other) or nasal polyps can also cause obstruction.

2. Poor muscle tone in the throat and tongue: 
Throat and tongue muscles can be too relaxed,which allows them to collapse and fallback into the airway. This can result from deep sleep, alcohol consumption, or use of some sleeping pills.

3. Bulky throat tissue: Being overweight can cause bulky throat tissue. Also, children with large tonsils and adenoids often snore.

4. Long soft palate and/or uvula:
A long soft palate or a long uvula (the dangling tissue at the back of the mouth) can narrow the opening from the nose to the throat.
When these structures vibrate and bump against one another the airway becomes obstructed, causing snoring.
