Yesterday was World Autism Awareness Day. And I also would like to make my small contribution. It is long since my child was autistic and he has never been highly autistic. But what we had to face has changed my world. I realized what strong impact has disposition of mother during pregnancy, how very important the process of childbirth is and that one should not entirely rely on any…

“Love – is being together in grief and in joy”
“Love – is being together in grief and in joy” Recently something sad had happened in my life. Italian soccer team, of which I’m a big fun for 20 years, lost final game in Euro. Everyone is talking about it now. I won’t discuss the soccer game details with you. Not every girl is interested in it. I’m going to talk about something different. When someone is a winner he…
How to learn to listen to the man? Simple practice!
Women have problems changing their strategies. I know it from my own experience that even if you know what it should be like, you do many things just the way you are used to doing them. And even if you know that you should obey him and give him the leadership, it is incredibly hard to start doing it. It is unreal. Completely unreal. Especially if you have no experience in what it’s like. I…
Why we do not talk about men’s duties
A chapter from the book “The Art of Being a Wife and a Muse” Very often I hear from women: “Yes, it’s all good. Being a woman, taking care of others. But I will do that when the husband starts doing his duties. I want him to do the first step, buy me a fur coat, listen to me and then I can iron his shirts and make breakfasts.”…
We are different – we have different needs.
We are different – we have different needs. This is a chapter from the book “The art of being a wife” If the only thing you will remember after reading this chapter is that we are different, it will already be good enough. The problem is that often we give something that we would like to receive back. Women have three basic needs: Men also have three needs, but absolutely…
What is love? To love – it is a verb
Modern women don’t like that in the East husbands are selected for girls by their parents in childhood. For Europeans it is strange. But there is a grain of truth. Knowing that she already has a husband, a girl doesn’t look for anybody. The same for a boy – he can study with no worry and doesn’t get distracted. Indians say “You marry the one whom you love. We learn…
Learning how to inspire your man
I am often being asked about this – sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly. For instance “my husband doesn’t want to work” or “he is interested in nothing”. As first we look inside of ourselves and look for our own shortcomings, weak places -it is worthy to ask ourselves in such situation– what am I doing wrong? How can I inspire man and become his muse? A man needs woman’s energy. God…
What is the fidelity? – Olga Valyaeva
Our whole life consists of competition. Since the very beginning of it, since the birth. Our mothers were going out with other mums and were talking on topicslike: who has more teeth, who gains weight better, who already walks, crawls and talks… From the very birth we are being compared with others. Then at school – someone learns better and faster, someone else dances, and someone is just beautiful. Then the institution –…
