Web 2.0 may be the most cathartic thing to happen to breakups since a pimply middle schooler invented slam books.

Recently, we happened upon a charming little website called DearOldLove.com. The concept is very simple: Much in the way that PostSecret.com publishes postcards with people's deepest secrets written on them, DearOldLove posts small, poignant notes from people who have one last thing to say to that one old love. Under the guise of anonymity, it's surprising how much that is left unsaid between ex-lovers can find itself out in the open for all to read. Read: … Read More

There is a pervasive myth in our society that a good marriage is like living on easy street. People have the misperception that there's never or rarely any tension in a happy marriage. In my experience, nothing could be further from the truth. But one thing that separates a good marriage from a bad one is the willingness of both partners to communicate openly, especially when it would be more comfortable to clam up and shut down. How To Communicate Effectively
I've been married for eighteen years. During that time, we had one tremendously rough patch in which … Read More

New help for men with sexual dysfunction may be on the way. In a new small study, researchers find that light therapy may cure certain sexual dysfunction in men, reports the UK's Press Association.

When researchers randomly divided men into two groups, either giving them a placebo light treatment or authentic light therapy for one half hour each morning during a two-week period, they found that the men receiving the authentic light therapy experienced an improvement in sexual function.

Study participants were suffering from sexual dysfunction including inability to reach orgasm, low desire and impotence. The light … Read More

Jon and Kate Gosselin are seeing a marriage counselor, says The National Enquirer, and we can't say we blame them. How the couple managed to raise 8 children together without regular respites on a therapist's couch is beyond us. And plus, there's all those swirling rumors about Jon cheating on Kate with a 23-year-old and Kate getting cozy with her personal bodyguard. Heck, they should be seeing 3 marriage counselors by now.

After a divorce or any life changing event, we reevaluate . . .our lives, our relationships, our history. While the process is integral to your sanity, it's often uncharted, uncomfortable territory. But I found a hobby that makes the healing a whole lot happier.

Scrapbooking.

Yep. That Martha-Stewart-esque-photo-cut-and-paste pastime. It's a downright fun way to organize and make sense of the feelings and memories in your head.

Pull out that box of photos in the attic. Get some adhesive (glue stick is fine) and scrapbook paper at any local craft store. Put the photos on the paper and write down on the paper … Read More

Going to couples therapy wasn't something my boyfriend or I had to wrangle the other into. Our rough patch was more like a slick of black ice, and we were careening towards a precipitous ending. We had moved in together almost a year earlier, and couples therapy seemed easier than breaking up. It would at least buy us time to figure out how to split our belongings while I looked for my own place in New York City.

I went into counseling thinking Ryan had to change. If he didn't fix at least eight of the things that were … Read More

LoveFeed takes a look at The Frisky's article on "The Four Guys on TV To Avoid." A look at four of the hottest studs on the tube, and why you should avoid their types like the plague.

Many of us have probably had a month (or three) where our sex appeal and appetite are so voraciously on fire that we'll (half jokingly) wonder, "Am I a sex addict?"

Then the well will dry. Months will pass. And the question turns into a mocking shadow of itself. ("Am I sex-repellent?" seems more appropriate).

Such musings aren't cute little time-fillers for the writer of this week's New York Times Modern Love piece. An in-and-out of treatment center sex addict, Benoit Denizet-Lewis succinctly and swiftly crushes any romanticized "pop-psychology" views anyone may have of a person so swimming in … Read More

Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe from Friends) takes on her latest role as a Dr. Fionna Wallace in this new web show entitled Web Therapy. In the first episode, "An Old Flame," Dr. Wallace starts a therapy session, via webcam (of course), with an old acquaintance (played by Tim Bagley). It turns out that the overbearing therapist may be the one in need of help. 

Today we bring you two studies about marital satisfaction. It is, in fact, possible to have a happy marriage! Read on to find out how…

An ongoing study by the National Institutes of Health suggests that a yearly "marriage checkup" could help people's unions—and bodies—stay healthy. Sixty-eight couples participated in the study; their averages were 47 and 44 for men and women respectively and they'd been married an average of 15 years. Half of them engaged in therapy, which included two sessions: one where they answered a series of questions about the state of their union, and … Read More
