Most long-term couples know that it is the little things that mean the most. Those sweet gestures or kind words can have a powerful effect on the bond and level of satisfaction within a marriage. Recently I asked a few friends what they do to show their love as well as what their spouses to.

Your heart starts pounding. You feel dizzy. Your stomach is churning and your chest feels tight. You’re sweating yet shivering. You’re overwhelmed by fear and sense of doom. You start to wonder if you’re losing your sanity and possibly even your life.

You’re swimming in an anxiety attack. And you don’t know how to get out.

According to the Mayo Clinic’s site, an anxiety attack “is a sudden episode of intense fear that develops for no apparent reason and that triggers severe physical reactions…

There are all kinds of products out there to sexually help men. So its good to see some companies out there haven’t forgotten us women when it comes to this arena too. Recently, I got a chance to try RomantaTherapy Pure Satisfaction Unisex Enhancement Gel.

If you’re not familiar with the product? Well that’s cause it doesn’t stare you in the eyes when you walk into a Walgreens like a certain other products. It isn’t found in stores. Pure Satisfaction Unisex Enhancement Gel is part of the product line from Passion Parties.

Within less than four years, my mom found herself the overly sleep-deprived parent of three children. I was the oldest at three and a half. My sister was two years of age and my brother was a newborn.

(Yes, I don’t know what she was thinking either. But she’s a pretty brave woman, wouldn’t you say?)

She managed to get through those crazy years but it didn’t seem to get easier for her. My poor mother must have felt a bit ripped off when my little brother transitioned out of diapers

We’ve found a few websites recently that caught our interest and we wanted to share.

For those of you in the mood for silly, check out a recently launched site called, Let’s Panic. According to the site “LET’S PANIC ABOUT BABIES! is here to provide pseudo-scientific information and hearty reassurance during this strange, swollen time in a woman’s life.

Trying to run a household, as well as take care of kids, a marriage and career is like trying to walk across a tightrope. Trying to do all of this with a spouse who has to travel for his work? Often feels as if you are walking across that tightrope on a windy day.

A lot can happen in the course of a day or two, let alone a week or more. Not seeing your spouse, or getting to talk to him or her over the course of a few days can lead to stress within the household and marriage

According to a recent article published by the Washington Post, “couples who have a child with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are almost twice as likely to divorce or separate as couples who do not have children with the disorder. The reason? “Having a child who is inattentive or hyperactive can be extremely stressful for caregivers and can exacerbate conflicts, tensions and arguments between parents,” notes the study. (I know alot of you parenting kids with ADHD just had the same thought, “Uh DUH! Tell me something I don’t know!” Me too!) But not to worry. These marriages aren’t “doomed” but the relationships tend to need a bit more care in order for the couple to feel more “connected”.

In June of 2007, Duan and Joumana Reese of Kirkwood, MO decided it was time for a lifestyle change. They joined a gym, overhauled their diets and started working out with a personal trainer. By that December, the couple had lost a whopping 75 pounds together.

KY Brand has been helping couples “get it on” since 1917. And now they’ve got a whole new product out there called KY Intense Arousal Gel For Her.
