Is this new tiny tracking device the new DIY private investigator?
If you could map your partner's every step, would you? (It's OK to be honest. We're not judging here.) While the Little Buddy Child Tracker was devised to keep an eye on school-aged children, it did cross our minds that this could become a piece to a new do-it-yourself private investigator kit. Catch that cheater in the act! Cheating Myths Debunked
The device allows the parent (or husband, wife, whatever the case may be...) to track via computer or smartphone. It even sends text message alerts if the trackee doesn't arrive at scheduled destinations.
It retails for $99 at Read More
Wife threatens divorce over a nickname.
What's the worst thing you could call your spouse? According to one wife, "Guantanamo" is grounds for divorce. Divorce Mediation: Is It Right for You?
The 30-year-old Saudi woman learned that her husband of 17 years had nicknamed her after the detention center (which is known for its abuse and torture) when she was scanning his cell phone contacts, says ABC News.
While this may seem unusual, Middle Eastern news site Al Arabiya says it is common for Saudi men to give their wives cell phone aliases. Among them were "criminal" ("because he says she stresses him out and … Read More
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart think they're married; why producers say to keep it low.
Our friends at Limelife have revealed that while Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are filming on the Eclipse set, they've begun referring to each other as, well, spouses.
Eclipse insiders have told OK! magazine that Kristen giggles to co-stars calling Robert "my husband," as in, when she's looking around for him on set, she'll ask, "Has anyone seen my husband?" Robert reciprocates by saying, "Have you met my lovely wife, Kristen?" The insider says that on set, they behave like lovestruck teenagers.
The revelation doesn't exactly shock us. … Read More

Say these words of appreciation today and earn yourself a relationship Gold Star!
Words of appreciation spoken directly to your romantic partner go far in paving the way to a happy, healthy relationship. What is sometimes too easily forgotten: disagreements among couples (from trifling to serious) can nearly always be overcome with a few words of gratitude from a partner (a.k.a., a healthy dose of authentic compliments). But it takes more than a "Hey Baby, you're hot" to really win points with your partner here. These are the top five compliments every woman loves to hear. If you can't remember the words verbatim, remember the key principles: appreciation, support and acceptance. This is the triage to a strong, lasting and powerful … Read More
If more political couples were getting it on regularly, would the country be a better place?
This July 4th, perhaps the focus for Mr. and Mrs. Politician should be more on the fireworks happening between their sheets (or lack thereof) rather than the one’s overlooking the Washington Monument.
That’s right, this holiday, if you love your country then please shag your partner.
We know it’s hard. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Between fundraisers and photo ops and everything else that’s happened since you two tied the knot, the spark has surely fizzled.
But enough with the excuses! Ladies and Gentlemen of the State, husbands and wives to the politicos, please go get your groove on.

Julie Metz recalls the heart-wrenching details from the day of her husband's death.
At age 44, Julie Metz's seemingly perfect life of husband, daughter, work-from-home occupation and house in the suburbs all but disappeared when her husband unexpectedly died. Becoming a widow and a single mother would only be the tip of the iceberg of challenges for Metz, as she later learned of her deceased husband's infidelities. How do you reconcile and forgive when the person who caused you pain is dead? This and other questions serve as the basis for Metz's memoir of "betrayal and renewal," Perfection: A Memoir of Betrayal and Renewal, published in June and currently ranking … Read More
Why gay couples and straight couples without kids are the same in the eyes of some.
Since gay couples can't have children, they shouldn't marry. Or so goes the ruling in more than a few states.
So far, same-sex marriage is only legal in three states: Connecticut, Massachusetts and Iowa. Although it will be legal in Vermont on September 1, and in Maine on September 14, the rest of the country is convinced that gay marriage is a contradiction in terms.
If the purpose of marriage, they say, is to make babies, then how can anyone other than a man and a women be legally married? Read More
A new brain scan can measure the love one feels, but what if the science doesn't match the feeling?
What if there were a way to measure exactly how your partner feels about you? Would you want to know the results?
On May 18, neuroscientist Lucy Brown appeared on the Today show to reveal her new brain scan that she says can decipher whether someone is in love with his or her spouse. To test this, she scanned the brain of A.J. Jacobs, an editor-at-large at Esquire. Three different brain systems were scanned to measure lust, romance and attachment. Love, Brown asserts, is the combination of these feelings. For each scan, Jacobs looked at different … Read More
Getting back in the game isn't so hard to do.
I recently got a call from a friend who married right out of college, divorced 10 years after that, and now shares custody of her child with her ex.
The call went something like this: "Can you remind me what a dating site is? You've told me about it, but it never mattered before. How do I do this?"
For many divorced women, online dating was not an option before they were married and in the dating pool. And, let's face it— for some, the Internet wasn't even born when they recited their vows. Read: Online Dating Coaches … Read More
