Advice to a Bride on Keeping Her Marriage Alive

I went to a lingerie shower over the weekend for one of my favorite people. She is getting married this summer and all of her home girls gathered together for a little spa and bra kind of day. One of our “assignments” was to write her our best piece of advice and read it to her as she opened her presents.

Here are some of the pieces of advice that were given (see if you can guess which one was mine *grin*)

  1. Always give your husband a passionate kiss as he walks out the door for work in the morning. It reminds him what he’s coming home to that night.
  2. Don’t quit having kinky sex!
  3. Love your life.
  4. If you’re having a disagreement or argument, hold each others hands and look into each others eyes. It’s amazing how hard it is to say things you can never take back when you’re doing that.
  5. Don’t go to bed angry.
  6. Record the great memories of your first few years of marriage. There are days in the future when you’ll need the reminders.
  7. Take the time to tell each other what you love about the other person.
  8. The best gift you can give your guy is a great steak dinner followed by a blow job.
  9. Know that when you have kids, you’ll be too tired to have sex. So have lots of it now.
  10. Have fun together!

Do you have any tips to add for the engaged couples out there?

How to Know If You’re The “Other” Woman/Man

Opinions are all over the map when it comes to how much responsibility the “other woman” (or man) has for being in an affair. For essentially providing the outlet for the cheater to cheat. I’ll go on record as saying that I think the “other” woman or man has just as much responsibility as the cheater. There are always reasons and excuses and it’s easy to attempt a dodge in responsibility, but the fact of the matter is… if you know the person you are with is cheating on their significant other, then you are choosing to be with a cheater and essentially give them permission to do the exact same thing to you.

That being said, let’s assume that you are beginning to suspect that you may be the “other” and that is NOT ok with you… here are some rules of thumb for spotting a cheater: Continue reading

How to Avoid the “Crazy Chick”

Confusing, man-eating, delicate flowers… yes, I know. Navigating the world of women when you are firmly in the Y chromosome category pose challenges that test the courage of many a man-child. Some men are lucky/smart enough to get a gal pal or two to decode the mysteries. Some men cannily do the research… things like reading good blogs on dating and mating in America or even getting a dating coach. But some poor sods continue to mope over a beer with the guys and bewail recent blunders, innocent mistakes and in short, continuing to make the same mistake again and again. Attracting the crazies.

I decided to crack the door on Pandora’s Box here and give you some tips that may or may not help you navigate away from the man-eating crazy flowers and find a woman who makes your toes curl. In a good way. Continue reading

What Do You Do With A Bad Kisser?

Let’s set the stage…you’re excited. You waited to kiss her until the 3rd date since you really really like her and wanted to build a little anticipation. After a great night of flirting, little touches, laughter and lingering glances into a very interested second party’s seductively soft green eyes, you quite simply can not WAIT to get to the evening’s finale. The big moment comes at the front door when she tilts her face up to yours… you lean in for the kiss and… Continue reading

Help! What To Wear To Meet The Family?

Normally, I don’t touch fashion advice with a 10-foot pole. I GET fashion advice from my fashionista friends and then apply. Very simple. So, I posted a comment on my Facebook page this week asking for advice on how to dress for Thanksgiving with the boyfriend’s family. (I should clarify — they’ve met me, we’ve done time, so this isn’t a first meeting, but every family has different fashion dictates for every occasion and I needed some advice on this one.)

Some of my more fashion-forward friends provided great tips that I’ve decided to share for your enjoyment and possible use… (girls at the top of the post/guys at the bottom)

A Great Way To Wreck Your Relationship

I read a great post today from a single dad blogger. Alternately cajoling, berating, encouraging and leading by example, Single Dad Laughing reminded men that they have a hand in the erosion of women’s body-image confidence. He points out that even the most self-confident of women can’t help but notice when her man “stops and looks” at another women. Whether magazine, movie or live action version… men look. Women notice.

Three Steps To Winning a Woman’s Heart

Dear Loyal Guy Readers,

I know. Women are confusing. What works for one girl fails horribly with the next and that dang mind-reading expectation… what’s that all about anyway? Well, I can’t help you with the minutia that changes between the blonde you took out last night who thought you were charming and the brunette you’re still trying to mend fences with from last week. But I CAN help you with understanding how to make most women happy. Any woman who does not respond to the following three displays of male interest is either crazy (in which case, exit stage left,) just isn’t that into you OR you totalled the relationship already (in which case, nothing I say is going to help.)

Only three things to remember: Continue reading
