Only if my boyfriend lives with his family I will go to his country.

  1. Negative adverbs:

  1. **Adverb clauses of contrast:*

Our soccer team always lose their games though actually managing of the team soccer are losing teenagers to prepare to the future.

Good job. I would recommend a few changes, a few changes in word order and in the last sentence soccer team is singular. I hope I conveyed the meaning of your last sentence correcly.

  1. Adverb Clauses of condition:

Unless I (get married with my boyfriend,) marry my boyfriend, I won't go to his country. Only if my boyfriend lives with his family,(I) will Igo to his country.

  1. Negative adverbs:

Never had men cooked in the past. Neither did my father.

  1. **Adverb clauses of contrast:*

Our soccer team always loses their games , though actually managing (of) the soccerteam (soccer)is (are) (losing)helping teenagers to prepare (to) for the future.

Even thoughtheywork hard, our soccer team (are) **is^^ always losing.

1) - Unless I marry my boyfriend, I won't go to his country.

or

Unless we get married/marry I won't go to my boyfriend's country.

2) I will only go to my boyfriend's country if he lives with his family.

3)- Men never cooked in the past, and my father was no exception.

4) - Even though they work hard, our soccer team is always losing. (You are not a part of the team but you support them/live in the same town/go to the same school etc.)

or

Even though we work hard, our soccer team is always losing. (You are part of the team.)

Just my preferences, you can see there are several options. smile
