The holidays are upon us! Are you dreaming about cozying up with your honey by a roaring fire?

Last week I went to a seasonal party. I arrived solo and seemed to immediately catch the attention of a man who I did not know. Within minutes, I was being told how sexy and exotic I looked, and not to leave without telling him. Now what gal doesn’t like a bit of positive attention? […]

I have kept one big fat secret from my husband for more than 30 years. Whenever it looks like the conversation is wading into dangerous territory, I masterfully change the subject. I have hidden the evidence (being married to a criminal lawyer has its advantages). I am hoping to take the secret to my grave. […]

Here is the super interesting thing I learned recently from realtor/designer Nancy McLeod. The new trend in family homes is having two master bedrooms with separate ensuite bathrooms.

Arguments are a good thing. So how do you make the most of them? I recently read a study that found that more than 40% of couples believe that fighting helps keep the lines of communication open. Tackling problems head on can be better for a relationship than bottling things up. But as experts point […]

Your spouse is your best friend, your lover — and your housemate. It doesn’t sound sexy, but hashing out how you will work together as domestic partners will help keep your love alive. Wouldn’t it be a shame to ruin a perfectly good marriage over a sink full of dirty dishes? I married for love. […]
