Love IS like a Drug After All
Love is, apparently, like a drug. At least the initial stages of passionate love. According to researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine:
That rush of good feelings you have in the first few months of being in love don't just put you in a better mood; love may actually be a painkiller ... The magnitude of pain relief... >Read More

Babies: What to do in the in between
Babies.
Nope, we're not pregnant, nor planning on being pregnant ANYTIME soon. (God willing.) But this is the main thing we have been asked about since we got married. "When are you having a little Jason? When do we get to meet a mini Brittany?" I must confess...I have been the one asking those questions.
We all love babies. We love... >Read More

A New Family: Learning to Love my In Laws
There is often truth to some to the things we joke about. I have heard lots of jokes about in-laws and how awful they can be, but I never thought I would be the one to experience anything like that!

Is Porn Replacing Sex?
I was both surprised and deeply saddened by a video on CNN this morning that asked “Has Porn Hijacked Sexuality?” The video shows an interview between CNN anchor John Roberts and author and sociologist Gail Dines.

Why do we stay?
Newspaper columnists are already speculating that, this time, Mel Gibson's movie career is over. With five damning tapes released so far filled with profanity and racist rants, it may be too much for even this perennial film star to gloss over. The legal and publicity fallout from Gibson's rants is ongoing, and so is media attention. That's why we're...... >Read More

Does Marriage Matter?
A recent article for The Frisky asked 15 women currently in long term relationships why they chose not to marry. I was expecting them to say that they didn’t believe in marriage, or that they had a religious or atheistic objection to it. Instead I found that their answers had more to do with what they think marriage is... >Read More
