How Marriage Affects Your Weight
Unfortunately, many women ‘get comfortable’ once they ‘get the man’—letting themselves go only to subsequently assume the position that ‘a man should love them for them’—not what they look like. But herein lies the trouble with that one-sided attitude. Yes, the man may indeed ‘love you for you’, but he also […]

Dating Polygamy
No matter how freaky you want to get in a relationship, there’s almost always someone else out there willing to go down that path with you, which is why it’s unnecessary (and cruel) to be in multiple serious relationships at once without the knowledge of all parties. If you can’t make the commitment, or enjoy […]

Achieving Intimacy
How to increase the level of intimacy in your relationship? Change your expectations—it’s the only way. Men, if you don’t know it by now, connect and communicate differently than women. What may come naturally to us (talking about our feelings, etc.) can be a struggle for them… just ask them how they feel about […]

Preteen Dating
By all accounts, the preteen of today is the teenager of yesteryear. Girls are already hyper sexualized, wrapped up in strongly-allied cliques, and prone to viciousness. And when it comes to friendships, they can be all-consuming, again pointing to a more “mature” youngster (though I use that word lightly). The family takes a […]

How To Dump Her After:
A One Night Stand - Don’t make it a big deal. One night isn’t love. It’s lust. If you don’t want to see her again nip it in the bud. A pre-emptive strike is the best idea. Send her a note or a flower the next day that says: “Last night […]

The three most common “dating etiquette” questions I hear from women are the following:
1. Can I call him if he hasn’t called me?
2. Should I offer to split the bill?
3. When is the right time to sleep together?
But what makes my job as a dating expert so easy is that the answer for all three […]

Rekindle Your Relationship
“Kids take every sexual impulse out of a marriage.” That’s what Meg Ryan stated in the hit movie, When Harry Met Sally…. And she wasn’t far off base. Babies are miracles, and when they are born, it’s easy and appropriate for couples to spend every moment wondering at the new life. But sometimes […]

* Consider the audience. If you’re having a celebration with other people invited, you will want to keep it shorter and sweeter rather than longer and more boring. If it’s just the two of you go on for hours if you’d like, but even then — remember your audience is your spouse, and you don’t […]

THE FIRST WORDS A BABY HEARS
The first thing that mothers and fathers say to their babies, usually at birth, is “I love you”. For the next year those are probably the most repeated words that any baby hears, and sees the cooing, loving faces of adoring adults saying it to him or her. It’s […]

1. Be open- minded. Don’t impose your past issues on your teen. If your child is not an A student, consider not pushing him to be one. If your child is not athletic and you were, allow them to be a book –worm or whatever form their non-athleticism takes. On the other hand, if your […]
