Why It's Called a Breakup

A few months ago, I read Greg Behrendt's book on breakups, It's Called A Breakup Because It's Broken. I am a huge fan of He's Just Not That Into You, and I expected great things from the sequel.

It disappointed me. Not because the information wasn't good. Not because the style wasn't lively and engaging.

It was simply because nothing was revolutionary.

Sex in Remarriage - Where Did That 'Loving Feeling' Go in Our Remarriage?

With all the responsibilities in a remarriage, it's not unusual for sex to somehow get lost in the shuffle. I'm reminded of the song "You've Lost That Loving Feeling." Somehow I don't think that lamenting song writer was taking into consideration all the pressures that come with a step family before he started complaining.

All jokes aside though, sex is an essential factor for any happy marriage. It can just become quite a juggling act for step couples. It's not uncommon for one member of the couple to suddenly find their libido plummeting. Let's take a look at a few reasons why...

• More than likely there are some kids in the house requiring attention. If you're not running them here, there and everywhere, they are still in the house so romping around naked isn't much of an option.
• Just by virtue of there being lots of people in the house, that means a lot of activities and responsibilities that have to be attended to, leaving little time for yourself.
• Stressors of dealing with unhappy kids, ex-spouses, or other family members can take a real toll.
• Then of course, there are your everyday, work, finances, household stressors and responsibilities.

So anyone in the mood after reading that riveting list? I doubt it! I'm exhausted after just writing it! So, that's the reality of step family life. Most of those things aren't just going to suddenly disappear and sexual intimacy in your marriage is still necessary. So, now what?

Sexual intimacy mirrors emotional intimacy. Think about that. If you don't make time for each other even if it's just a quick email or kiss, it's real easy to just drift apart with all the expectations placed on you.

Getting Ready For Summer 2007

Summer's round the corner. You know what that means. Bikini season. Even now, in Spring, shorts are back. More skin is exposed as temperatures soar. Does that make you nervous?

If you're fine with that, good for you. For the rest of us, it is time to take stock of the past season's excesses. That roll of flab. Pasty skin. How would that look in a swim suit? Forget the swimsuit, how would that look in shorts and a tank top?

Let's start with the easy part. Getting your skin soft, silky and touchable. All you need is a scrub and a moisturizer. A simple daily rubdown in the shower with dead sea salts would slough off the dead skin cells beautifully. If your skin is dry, then you could mix dead sea salt with olive oil into the paste after your shower. Rub all over your body and rinse off. It is rather messy but effective.
