What to eat to save your marriage

WHAT TO EAT TO SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE? Lori Buckley is a certified sex therapist in Pasadena California and she did a Q&A in Health Magazine back in April about how to bring "Vacation Sex" home and whether there are really aphrodisiac foods. We did a poll a few months back that showed that when it comes to sex, it may be a factor in a few divorces [...]

The post-divorce booty call: good idea? Bad idea?

Kathie Lee and Hoda Kotb were talking about booty calls today on Today so I threw a question at my retired dad who doesn't hear that well, "so, dad, what do you think about post-divorce booty calls?" He goes to me, "duty call? What is a duty call?" I went, "no, dad, I said booty call. With a B." He goes, "what is a booty call?" I nearly died [...]

The Bed divorce: Is sleeping in separate bedrooms a precursor to divorce?

The Bed divorce: Is sleeping in separate bedrooms a precursor to divorce?

Apparently, a lot more married couples are flouting convention and setting up his and hers bedrooms in their homes (just like the his and hers bathrooms). The reason for this is all sorts of things that include sleep apnea, snoring and irritable leg syndrome and the just plain desire to sleep alone. Granted, this usually starts to happen after [...]

Is divorce the only solution when there is bad sex in a marriage?

To tell you the truth, I don' t know the answer to this question. I mean, bad sex is no fun. It's frustrating, annoying and stultifying. (What does stultifying even mean? It sounded good so I threw it in for kicks. I hope it means that it makes you feel ashamed and humiliated and ugly.) The conventional wisdom, for some, is that if you are [...]

DNA & divorce: When the adulterer’s dirty little secret gets exposed

So you slept with someone other than your spouse and you got pregnant. That is definitely a double whammy. It's bad enough you are sleeping with someone other than your spouse. But to get yourself knocked up on top of it, that is almost unforgivable. But what is really off the charts is proceeding to try to pass the youth off as your spouse's [...]

Breast Implants and divorce: Is it just Mel Gibson who despises surgically enhanced breasts?

Breast Implants and divorce: Is it just Mel Gibson who despises surgically enhanced breasts?

FAKE BREASTS AND DIVORCE I just got a junk email from someone at PlasticSurgeonLocatorvgig@worldtaxnet.com and this wiseguy was trying to sell breast augmentation surgery to me and I guess a whole bunch of other people on his contact list. Now, obviously, I don't need breast augmentation. On the contrary. But it did get me to thinking about [...]

Lawrence Taylor rape bust: Is this guy married? Lynette….will there be a divorce?

What does a wife do when her 51 year old Hall of Fame(?) husband is busted for statutory rape of a 15 year old girl in Suffern New York? Does she ask for a divorce? No. She just cancels her appearance on Larry King Live! Btw, how's Larry's divorce from Shawn going? Have they rescinded those petitions yet?

TEXAS: Common-law wife, Michelle Thomas stabs husband (with scissors) when he fails to satisfy her in bed

TEXAS: Common-law wife, Michelle Thomas stabs husband (with scissors) when he fails to satisfy her in bed

I'm sorry. I apologize. I'm cracking up. Hold on a second................................................................................ Ok. I've pulled myself together. So this story just broke in Texas. A woman is under arrest because she stabbed her common law husband with a scissors in the wake of unsatisfying sexual [...]

PITTSBURGH: Ben Roethlisberger’s divorce from Pittsburgh Steelers is really a 6 days separation – for now

PITTSBURGH: Ben Roethlisberger’s divorce from Pittsburgh Steelers is really a 6 days separation – for now

Ben Roethlisberger may yet find himself divorced traded by the Steelers for another player who does not "put the NFL in a bad light" by "off the field conduct." But for now, he's simply been separated from suspended for six days without pay, following an off the field incident involving drunken college girls and a 20 year old who claimed he [...]

FRANCE: French footballers in prostitution scandal….divorces to follow?

FRANCE: French footballers in prostitution scandal….divorces to follow?

PARIS: According to the French paper/sports magazine, L'Equipe, there's some trouble brewing in Paris for French footballers, including star player, (no pun intended) Franck Ribéry. Some nonsense to do with a French nightclub "frequented by international football players" that "employs prostitutes." What does this have to do with divorce? Well, [...]

Is the iPad the new “other woman?”

Is the iPad the new “other woman?”

Is Steve Job's new tech toy the new "other woman" who is sure to leave in its wake a litter of broken marriages and angry women who feel their husbands have deserted them for a new love interest? Will the iPad "steal" women's husbands away? This is a very troubling thought.  The zeigeist seems to be swaying in favor of the new gadget from [...]

Would an “adultery tax” shame cheating spouses into remaining faithful or divorcing prior to starting new relationships?

Would an “adultery tax” shame cheating spouses into remaining faithful or divorcing prior to starting new relationships?

In light of the $9 million payout for a North Carolina wife, Mrs. Shackelford, (sum certain for an alienation of affection lawsuit she won against her husband's mistress Anne Lindquist) got me to thinking about this issue of monetary payouts for adultery and whether there should be an adultery tax. Frankly, I think the fact that Anne was made to [...]

LONDON: On barbie dolls and other false ideals that wreck a marriage

LONDON: On barbie dolls and other false ideals that wreck a marriage

Times of London had an interesting article today by Terri Apter. In the article, Barbie and Co: The New Sexism, Lost Feminist Dreams, the False Ideals of Marriage - and Barbie Dolls, Apter raises a lot of provocative questions. One question I think she raises is, to what extent does the sexualized barbie doll of childhood affect what goes on in [...]

NEW YORK: Stoning or hari kari for adulterers like Tiger Woods? Would that reduce the divorce rate?

NEW YORK: Stoning or hari kari for adulterers like Tiger Woods? Would that reduce the divorce rate?

Tiger Wood could easily have committed hari kari to escape the media and blogospheric stoning he received when his serial adultery was uncovered in a leaked text message back in late fall of 2009. Led me to thinking about adultery and divorce on a whole other level and I wondered whether heightened consequences for married folks who step out on [...]

The clitoris at the intersection of divorce court and happily ever after

I realize that the title of this post is potentially titillating; or maybe even funny and you should know that I am red-faced just talking about it.  But I am not laughing cause this is no laughing matter. The fact is, there is a genuine issue of fact as to what extent, if at all, is a husband's inability to properly, um, make friends with his [...]
