• Sleep on It... Together

    Apparently lots of couples have trouble sharing a bed when they sleep - all that tossing and turning (not to mention snoring) can make sleeping together more of a chore than getting up in the morning.

    Here are some tips to make sleeping in the same bed more enjoyable:

    1. Make it. As in, stop being lazy and make your bed. It's the opening note for a good night's sleep, according to The Times.

    2. Choreograph it. Paul C. Rosenblatt, a psychiatry professor at the University of Minnesota, told The Times that most couples sleep best when they face away from each other, which is better to avoid flexing knees and bad breath. Map out a strategy that allows for each person to comfortably sleep facing away from each other.

  • Pillow Talk

    When your head hits the pillow, don't close your eyes, open your mouth.

    That's what Ian Kerner, Ph.D. suggests. “If couples aren’t talking and approaching sex with a sense of play then they’re going to fall into a pattern of routine,” saysthe author of She Comes First and He Comes Next. “The brain is the biggest sex organ.”

    Commit to 15 minutes of pillow talk a few nights a week—no TV, no laptops and no BlackBerries. Take this time to discuss your fantasies, desires or romantic memories. Remember your hot honeymoon? Remember it together and talk about other times you've enjoyed together.

  • Sweet Dreams

    We've all experienced bizarre dreams in which people we know look like someone else or we get freaky with an unappealing co-worker. But are those subconscious thoughts that zap through our brains at night really relevant in our waking hours?

    Yes, according to Gillian Holloway, an internationally recognized dream expert with over 20 years of experience interpreting dreams under her belt.

    In her book "The Complete Dream Book of Love and Relationships: Discover What Your Dreams and Intuition Reveal About You and Your Love Life," Holloway uses her analysis of over 30,000 actual dreams to get to the bottom of what our dreams say about our romantic relationships.

  • The Science of Relationships

    The secret to a good marriage might simply be to love the one you're with. And there are even loads of science to back that up.

    In her new book, "For Better: the Science of a Good Marriage," author and health journalist Tara Parker-Pope applies rigorous research to the big things in a relationship -- sex, money, kids, fighting -- and more interestingly to the(seemingly) small things -- housework, snoring, eye rolling, even the way couples retell the story of how they met.

    Turns out marriage isn't quite what most of us probably think it is: Wed couples are actually having more sex than anyone, conflict can be a good thing and more than 50 percent of us are staying married.

  • Survey Says...

    Does a relationship have a better chance of working if the woman is more attractive than the man? A recent study suggests it does.

    In an attempt to determine whether good-looking spouses aremore supportive and happier, a team of psychologists studied 82 newlywed couples.

    Their research findings:

    - Men who were more attractive than their spouses were less supportive than men who were equally matched or less attractive.
    - Men who were more attractive were less happy than others.
    - Men and women tended to be more positive and happier when wives were more attractive than their husbands.

    The researchers suggest that human evolution might help explain the effect of men's attractiveness on a marriage.

    - Attractive men are more likely to attract women, which could make them less satisfied and less committed.
    - Attractive women might not mind being better-looking because attractiveness might be less important long-term.

    Whatever the reason, makes you think...
