Grow Closer After Kids: 5 Ways
Young parents have precious little free time. So here are 5 quick tips: • Spend an uninterrupted 20 minutes each day face to face or side by side talking (and cuddling) and most important listening to anything the other wants to say. Yes, when you are desperate you can break it into 2 ten-minute chunks. • Be curious, not furious, about differences. Pretend your partner is an attractive stranger you just met. Don’t try to persuade your partner to see differences logically, rationally, reasonably or your way. For 10 minutes, just listen.

Will I (She) Ever be Thin Again?
Uh. Yes, no, maybe so. This question terrifies many a new mom in our size-obsessed society. Some dads are anxious as well. Many a new mom can't have sex simply bcause she feels she isn't thin enough to have sex. "I can't bear to have sex because I can see the wrinkles in my tummy." There is nothing as discouraging as stepping on the scales after pushing a watermelon out between your legs and finding you haven't lost a pound! But breast-feeding and nine months may do the trick.

Selfishness: When is enough just right?
Self-centered, narcissistic people often achieve great financial success. Yet, I have had several clients who have made many millions of dollars by age forty only to discover that their wife is asking for a surprise divorce. Such people have no clue, saying, “I have given her everything.” One man gave his wife a very expensive diamond necklace. What she had said she wanted was to be invited to lunch. He felt generous and unselfish. She felt ignored and discounted once again by a selfish man who just wanted to impress his friends.
