The Married One
Want a way to relieve stress in a marriage? How about a weekend apart? The catch – spend it alone. The ultimate indulgence. Stay up late, see a movie he doesn’t like at four in the afternoon (or stay in your PJ’s watching chick flicks) Have a spa day! Dance around the house drinking martinis! You can do whatever your want. And when he comes home? You will be ready to tackle domestic bliss once again. Just be sure you saved him a martini!

Is it good to date when you are stressed? Perhaps a welcome diversion. Or is it another layer of stress? If we need to bring the “A” game to the dating arena – does it make any sense to date under stress? Don’t we all need affirmation and attention? What a better place to get it than from a date. He tells you you look hot, sexy and how much he loves your personality. (Notice personality was last) So a glass of wine, fantastic date and a few compliments may be the ultimate decompress-et.

The new dating world. Text Foreplay! He hasn’t even met you and is seducing you. Multiple provocative late night texts… all to work you before the date. Can he sustain it after the date? Usually not. All about the date prelude. What happened to calling someone, not face timing, not googling 14 pages, but actually just learning about them on a first date? Has the internet created the ultimate form of speed dating?
The Married One
Are you bored? The fatal flaw of monogamy is knowing each other too well. No surprises! Does familiarity breed contempt? Do you stay together because you’re just too lazy to change? It will never be like the first time you kissed, or the anticipation of hot unexplored sex. But knowing what he likes makes up for it. Studies show married men are happier & live longer. So next time he drops his socks on the floor (like every morning) remind yourself that to know him is to love him!

Let’s think about this – Is there a trend in your marriage? The ebb and flow of a relationship is constantly changing. You go along peacefully and loving, then BAM – nothing works. You can’t say anything or do anything right. Everything he does irritates you. Are the stars not aligned? Was it something he ate? Did his Ambien not work? Contemplation is good and so is a stiff drink. Actually the best thing you can give each other? Space and alone time. That’s my secret to a happy lasting marriage.

Nice Guy vs. Bad Boy! Hmmm….. First date – is the chemistry there or can it grow? Do you need to feel intoxicated instantly or will he get better with time like a fine wine… We all want kindness, but are easily seduced by the elusive unattainable bad boy. Sexy and substance – the ultimate combination. Until you find it – the bad boy can look really good.
