This is one man who's happy to ask for directions. But should he trust his wife… or his new GPS?

by Jonathan Bender Jul 2, 3:37pm
couple navigating directions

I'm a man, which is supposed to mean that I'm not willing to ask for directions. But on this front, I've always been a little different. For the last nine years, my wife has been my shining directional beacon, a kind of sit-next-to-me Northern Star. When we lived in New York City, she would send me on the subway with yellow post-it notes that detailed the stops and transfers. Without these handwritten guides, I'd likely be penning this story as an emissary of the mole people.

But this year, I was given a Garmin global positioning system (GPS) as a birthday … Read More

A bride-to-be feels betrayed when her fiance hits up a strip club a week before their wedding.

strip club bachelor party

Being the modern, liberated, well-educated woman that I am, I never thought I would mind the man in my life going to a strip club. Years ago, I would even occassionally join my guy friends for an evening at a gentlemen's club. It meant free cocktails all night, and have you ever seen the ladies' room at a strip club?  The restrooms are girly bonanzas that range between the cosmetics aisle at a drug store to a miniature Sephora. Plus, strippers on their bathroom breaks have the best gossip. Desperate Housewives? Days of Our Lives? Child's play in comparison.

Eighty-three-year-old Hugh Hefner might be showing his age. The Playboy mogul recently stated at the Playmate of the Year party that he can't always tell who is who among his three new girlfriends. Granted, two of them just happen to be identical twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon.

The 19-year-olds, along with 22-year-old Crystal Harris, are Hef's latest arm candy, each sporting platinum blond hair and "made for sin" looks. The Shannon girls more or less replace Holly Madison and Kendra Wilkinson's spots at Hugh's side. Read: Blondes Ruin Romance Most Often Says Study

Becoming a father and stay-at-home dad puts a strain on a couple's marriage.

by Mark Schwartz Jun 11, 12:21pm

As with all couples, the birth of our son, Emerson, on April 15, 2008, changed our family forever. For my wife and I, it ushered in an era of marital strife that we'd never experienced. Before Emerson's arrival we'd been able to focus exclusively on each other. Even without kids, our marriage required hard work, and we were only balancing the needs of each other. Now we had to consider him as well.

I had grown up in a service-oriented house, where actions were our way of showing love; my parents appreciated and rewarded obedience. As the middle child … Read More
