Married With Problems? Therapy May Help (390)
(NewsUSA) – Relationships are hard. Ask any couple who has been married for any length of time, and they will wholeheartedly agree.
Supporting this fact is that, according to the website www.divorcerate.org, the national divorce rate is somewhere between 40 percent and 50 percent, depending on the age range of the couple. Not exactly overwhelming odds for success.
And yet, there are those couples who manage to stay together — in sickness and in health, through emotional detachment, depression, infidelity, and a host of other problems — until “death do they part.”
So, how do they do it?
For some, a good marriage counselor is the secret.
In VH-1’s reality series “Couples Therapy,” for example, Dr. Jenn Berman attempts to help celebrity couples like DMX and his wife, Tashera Simmons, navigate their issues. In one episode, X admits that, when faced with uncomfortable situations, he usually walks away so he doesn’t have to deal with them.
While there was a time that society attached a stigma to counseling, now it would seem that it could be a couple’s last, best chance at recovery and a lasting relationship.
If you are considering seeing a marriage counselor, the following do’s and don’ts might help you get the most out of the experience:
* Do acknowledge that there is a problem. Typically, one partner fails to see a problem where the other partner does. To this end, both partners need to accept that the problem exists.
* Do take responsibility. It is rare that one partner is solely responsible for problems in the marriage. Owning your part — through actions, deeds, and words or the lack of them — is paramount to resolving the conflict.
* Do change your behavior. While this may be the most difficult step, it is the one thing that could salvage a relationship. This can include doing or not doing (and saying or not saying) certain things. The rule of thumb is simple: if any action, word, or deed will be hurtful to your partner, then don’t do it.
* Don’t have unreasonable expectations. The role of a marriage counselor is to help a couple understand one another better, not “fix” the perceived wrong in one or the other partner. The change is for both partners to make and maintain.
When in doubt, remember the Golden Rule: treat people the way you would want to be treated.

Pre-Wedding Beauty Tips for the Bride (383)
(NewsUSA) – You want everything to be picture perfect for your wedding, including your smile. But like everything else about your big day, that perfect smile could require some work ahead of time. In fact, experts suggest starting your entire beauty regimen six months before the wedding.
Here’s a complete pre-wedding beauty checklist.
* Lips: Get soft, kissable lips by brushing away flakes of dry skin with an infant toothbrush soaked in baking soda and water. Apply healing ointment, and in no time, your lips will be ready for that “kiss the bride” kiss.
* Teeth: A cosmetic dentist can often correct an imperfect smile with veneers. But if spending painful hours in the dentist’s chair getting your teeth ground down sounds like it would put a damper on all the joyful planning, here’s good news: Lumineers (www.lumineers.com) are now used by thousands of dentists nationwide and can be applied in two short, pain-free appointments.
Unlike other veneer procedures, Lumineers are so strong and thin that they don’t require removal of sensitive tooth structure. The procedure is quick, painless and even reversible.
* Makeup: Women with warm skin tones look best in makeup with pink, coral, peach, amber, brown and red with yellow undertones. If you have a cool skin tone, choose pink, berry, lilac, mauve or red with blue undertones.
* Skin: Make your face glow with a good cleansing program. Use a cleanser that’s appropriate for your skin type in the morning, makeup remover and cleanser at night and a daily moisturizer. Use a gentle facial scrub once a week.
* Hair: If you’re planning to change your hairstyle or color, experiment several months before the wedding so you have time to correct any mistakes.
* Nails: If you’re a nail-biter, get weekly manicures to keep your nails healthy. Plan your last manicure a couple of days before the big day. Choose a pretty pale pink or splurge on a French manicure, not just because it looks great, but because the chips won’t show as much and are easy to fix. You’ll have beautiful hands for the rehearsal dinner and any other festivities.
Don’t forget, practice makes perfect. Schedule a trial run with your hair and makeup artists several days before your wedding, so there are no surprises the day of the ceremony.

Couples Learn to Face Economy Together (315)
(NewsUSA) – Money certainly can’t buy you happiness, but that doesn’t mean that suffering finances can’t put strain on a relationship.
Money doesn’t make marriages end in divorce – in fact, financial problems might lead to as little as 5 percent of divorces in the U.S. But when money’s tight, couples feel greater strain, which can lead to more disagreements.
Couples facing money problems can gain strength from each other. Here are some tips for couples looking to support each other through tough times:
– Take time to discover each other’s real needs. One spouse might feel alienated, not because there’s less cash, but because less cash means fewer restaurant and movie nights. But couples can enjoy quality time together no matter their finances.
Free activities, like community movie screenings or museum trips, can provide fun without breaking the bank. Instead of going out to eat, couples can cook meals at home and follow dinner with a romance-inducing beverage, like Magic Power Coffee (http://www.magicpowercoffeehome.com/), which combines high-quality arabica coffee beans with healthy herbs. Gingseng, goji berries, epimedium herb and vitamins help increase energy, mood elevation and euphoria – never a bad thing when pursuing quality time as a couple.
– Take a cue from your kindergarten teacher – use your words and your indoor voice when discussing difficult subjects. Talk about how you feel without putting blame on your partner’s actions. If you can’t discuss a certain subject without becoming angry, at least attempt to write down your thoughts.
– Come up with a plan together. If one partner handles all of the finances, the other person might not realize how tight things are, or when money will be entering or leaving a joint account. Sit down together to determine a spending and saving plan. If you are in debt, consider going to a financial counselor who can help you consolidate loans and develop a sound financial strategy.

Putting the Magic Back In Your Marriage (341)
(NewsUSA) – Jobs, children and other obligations can keep spouses from enjoying quality time together. But stress and busy schedules shouldn’t keep you from enjoying your partner.
Here are some tips from Darren Hardy, publisher of SUCCESS magazine, for Americans hoping to reconnect with their significant other:
– Pen each other in. Arranging a weekly date with your spouse might lack spontaneity, but scheduled “together time” might just become the highlight of your week. Go to a café and chat over coffee and scones, see a movie or stroll through your neighborhood. Both of you will enjoy a stress-free chance to reconnect.
You can start out by writing down a list of activities you would like to do with your spouse, like seeing an art exhibition or taking a nature hike. Ask your spouse to write a list, too. Then, do one activity each week, alternating between your lists.
– Write love notes. Your spouse will appreciate finding notes on a pillow or in a briefcase -; sometimes the little things make people feel the most loved.
– Surprise your spouse. Prepare breakfast in bed on one random weekend, or ask your spouse to join you on a weekend getaway.
– Leap in to help. If your spouse seems extra-stressed, start looking for ways that you can help lighten his or her load. Drive the kids to school one day so that your spouse can sleep in, or surprise your spouse by making dinner for the whole family on a busy night.
– Show gratitude. When couples fall into routines, both parties may start to feel underappreciated. Your spouse works hard to keep your family running, so acknowledge your partner’s efforts with a “thank you” every now and again.
– Arrange lunch dates. If you work in the same area, why not meet for lunch once weekly? You won’t have to schedule a babysitter, since the kids are in school, and you will still have the evening hours to complete any tasks on your list.

Unique Gifts to Celebrate Your Love (329)
(NewsUSA) – Couples who stay together deserve to celebrate their enduring commitment, but anniversary gifts can be difficult to choose. Sure, there are traditional gifts. But what modern couple really wants wool or copper for their seventh anniversary? And what would you do with the silver plates traditionally given on a couple’s 23rd?
Today’s young couples prefer more personalized gifts. For some some unique gift ideas, consider the following list provided by PlaqueMakerPlus.com, maker of customized awards and recognition products:
* Make a video showcasing your life together. Contact friends and families for home videos, then edit them together to show your story as a couple, from childhood to wedding to current day.
* Give the picture frame a modern spin. Framing a nice photo may seem like a no-brainer, but there are ways to make that idea seem more special. For example, PlaqueMakerPlus.com offers a “Clear Memories” line of heirloom-quality acrylics, which can be etched with a personalized message, such as part of a poem or the anniversary date, as well as an embedded photograph.
For an especially enduring gift, consider ordering a laser-engraved photograph plaque. The plaque will last far longer than a photograph in a frame and will become a cherished family mantelpiece and heirloom. At PlaqueMakerPlus.com, you can easily personalize and design your custom gifts online.
* Choose gifts that can be used. Gifts that are both functional and decorative are sure to be hits. For example, wooden bookends carved with names and dates will remind you of your anniversary while also neatening your shelves. Wood is a traditional gift for fifth and sixth-year anniversaries. You might also want to consider pen holders or paperweights.
* Choose something heartfelt. Not all gifts have to be high-tech or expensive. For example, you could write down 365 things that you love about your partner on individual pieces of paper, then put the notes in a nice vase, so your partner can read a loving message from you every day until you’re next anniversary.

Arranging a Romantic Dinner for Two (383)
(NewsUSA) – Between work and family obligations, many couples struggle to find time together. But finding time to enjoy your partner’s company is important, so why not have fun with it? Planning a romantic dinner might be easier than you think.
Here are some tips for couples looking to plan a special dinner with their partner:
– Arrange “alone” time. If you have kids, see if they can spend the night at a friend’s or relative’s home. If not, hire a sitter to entertain your children outside of the home.
If the dinner’s a surprise, make sure that your partner isn’t going to be busy with other plans. If you want to let your partner know about your plans, leave an invitation on his or her pillow.
– Set the scene. Make sure that your home looks romantic when your partner arrives. Candles and roses let your partner know that you have arranged something special. Set the table with china, lovely stemware and your favorite linens.
– Choose a delicious wine. Conversation over a wonderful wine is one of life’s simplest pleasures, so indulge in something light and refreshing. The 2007 Clos du Bois Rosé (closdubois.com) proves a delicate, floral wine with hints of wild strawberries and ripe watermelon. It’s bright acidity and rosy color make it a wonderful choice for romantic nights in. Better yet, dry rosés work with most food pairings, whether you’re planning an all-chocolate menu, ethnic food or more traditional fare.
– When it comes to food, play it safe. If you’ve never rolled your own gnocchi before, now is not the time to give pasta-making a try. Choose a recipe that you know well, or order carry-out from a favorite restaurant. If you do order food, transfer it to attractive dishes before serving. Don’t forget appetizers. Go to a local cheese shop for help putting together an elegant cheese plate.
– Dress up. A kuskus with spicy vegetables looks much less elegant if you’re wearing a ratty T-shirt and worn jeans. You don’t need to make yourself uncomfortable, but do put some effort into your appearance.
Knowing the right settings, foods and wines can make romantic dinners an enjoyable, regular experience. For great recipes and wine-pairing suggestions for any season, visit the Memorable Menus page on the Clos du Bois Web site at closdubois.com.
