Trouble Pleasing Your Partner?
By Rosemary Black
It’s an all-too-common scenario: A spouse feels overworked, underappreciated and overwhelmed with a job, household and kids to care for. Resentment and exhaustion take their toll, and she feels less and less like having sex. With a busy life, there just isn’t time for everything, let alone having an all night lovefest.
The problem can snowball into a relationship-wrecking issue. “The wife feels bad about herself,” says Lauren Mackler, psychotherapist and the author of Solemate: Master the Art of Aloneness & Transform Your Life. “The man feels that he is not appreciated for what he is doing, and he just gets flack if he comes home too late or works too many hours. He feels… Click here to read entire article.

When not to go down the aisle
By Jenice Armstrong
ELIZABETH and John Edwards are splitsville, while former aide Andrew Young and his wife are out promoting their new book about their dealings with the former presidential candidate.
Tiger Woods’ wife, Elin Nordegren, may not be completely finished with her scandal-scarred marriage, despite all of Woods’ philandering.
I tell myself not to feel silly way too much about this madness because there are things you can learn about life just by watching the foibles of the rich and famous.
Here’s an example of a lesson snatched straight from the pages of Jenny Sanford’s don’t-let-this-happen-to-you handbook: When your instinct warns you that you’re about to make a serious mistake in terms of your choice of a romantic partner, run. (It should be common sense, but judging from the divorce rate, it’s not.)
The soon-to-be-ex-wife of South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford got an early warning of how rocky her marriage was going to be when her soon-to-be-hubby balked over promising to be faithful during his wedding vows. That should have been clue No. 1, and Jenny Sanford should have stopped him right in his cheater-cheater tracks. But apparently she’d gotten herself all wrapped up in a white-tulle fantasy of walking down the aisle and married him anyway, making a “leap of faith” as she called it.
“It bothered me to some extent, but . . . we were very young, we were in love. I questioned it, but I got past it . . . along with other doubts that I had,” Sanford told Barbara Walters in a “20/20″ interview that airs Friday.
As you can attest, if you’ve ever sat through a wedding ceremony skeptical of the couple’s long-term prospects, Jenny Sanford’s blinders-on, “maybe-he’ll-change-after-we’re-married” response is typical. Once some people are altar-bound, get in their way and they’ll plow you over faster than you can say, “I’m only looking out for what’s best for you.”
“Very often, what people do is they tell themselves a story and they believe what they want to believe,” pointed out Lauren Mackler, author of “Solemate: Master the Art of Aloneness & Transform Your Life.”
“They doubt themselves and then they start telling themselves, ‘I’ll change him.’ Or they say, ‘Once we’re married, I’ll have him. I’ve just got to get that ring on my finger… Click here to read the entire article.

Why Women Stay with Cheaters
By Norine Dworkin-McDaniel
Stand by your cheating man or kick him to the curb? It’s not a decision any woman wants to make, but that many have after their philandering mates were caught. This Lifescript exclusive digs deep to discover why so many wives choose to stick it out. Plus, will your guy cheat? Rate the risk…
They all do it: celebrities, politicians, even the hubby next door.
Sure, the names of the cheaters change: Think John Edwards, Kobe Bryant, Mark Sanford, Bill Clinton, John Ensign.
But the story’s the same: Husband cheats, gets caught. Wife grimaces, then bears it.
In fact, up to 75% of couples rocked by an affair stay together, according to research by Peggy Vaughan, author of Preventing Affairs: You Can Have a Monogamous Marriage, But Not by Just Assuming You’re Immune (Dialog Press). That so many wronged spouses managed to turn the other cheek is admirable to some. But you can’t help wondering: Why didn’t they push their wandering mates out the door?
Lifescript talked to women and experts to find out why beleaguered wives choose to stand by their men. Here’s what they told us… Click here to read the entire article.

Trouble Keeping Your New Year’s Resolutions? Uncover Your Self-Sabotaging Tendencies
Posted by Lauren - 01/29/10 at 01:01:55 pmAt start of a new year, many people make resolutions for change. In fact, many of these are the same ones every year! Yours may be to increase your income, expand your social circle or find your dream job. But the foundation for achieving any goal is the ability to move beyond self-sabotaging patterns to create the results you seek.
In my work, I often talk about how the core beliefs and behaviors adopted in childhood affect our adult lives. Although rooted in the unconscious and hidden from most people, our core beliefs drive our everyday behaviors. And while these beliefs and behaviors allowed us to adapt to our families growing up, they often negate our adult lives. So identifying and shedding your limiting beliefs and behaviors is a critical key to success.
To better understand how your own limiting beliefs and behaviors may be sabotaging your New Year’s resolutions, here are three examples of self-defeating behaviors … Click here to read the entire article on the Huffington Post.
