Nine and a half months
Many pregnant women feel a surge of sexuality in their pregnancy — especially in the second trimester, when morning sickness usually subsides or ends.

*Expect to wait between 5 minutes and until hell freezes over for your new mother-in-law to trust you. Why? Well, some mothers-in-law are so excited to have daughters-in-law that they can’t wait to conjoin themselves to your hip and will shower you with gifts and daily phone calls. Don’t expect this behavior to last. The […]

Respect is hard to teach because by the time people realize that they want it, they’ve grown up without it. It’s not impossible to learn, but the reason that most people who don’t have it have grown up without it, is because the people around them have not had it.
Respect and self respect are behavior […]

Love isn’t just about chemistry — it is chemistry. Sex is a physiological process. Love affects your body’s chemistry and physiology. Smells, like other sensory input, clearly affect romance and relationships. A look at the multi-million dollar perfume industry makes it pretty clear that big businessmen already recognize the effect scent has on the senses […]

Children can make or break a couple — whether you’re deciding to have them — or you already do have them. Ways children come between couples:
1. One member of the couple wants them and one doesn’t.
2. Both people want children, but they both want to work and the man wants the woman to stay home […]

Fashion — whether it’s beauty or clothing — has it’s pendulum that swings back and forth, and as a result of the backlash to “too skinny” models and actresses, there is now a public embracing of full figured models and actresses.

It’s no wonder divorce rates for second and third marriages are so much higher than for first marriages — they’re harder! Especially when there are stepfamilies involved. So many people and dynamics come into play, it’s no wonder these families need guidance and support.

One of the most obvious ways that I see women sabotaging themselves is not knowing what it is they want when it comes to a man. Oh, sure. They THINK that they know what they want, but more often than not, they don’t know what their deal-breakers are, and what they are willing to compromise […]
