Making Slow Love, Polynesian Style

Slow Love - A Polynesian Pillow Book
Slow Love:
A Polynesian
Pillow Book

One of the quickest things that can destroy a marriage is an unsatisfactory love life, either for one partner, or both husband & wife. Much discontent may come from our Western culture, which emphasizes performance and sexual satisfaction almost above any other human need.

Tired of the incessant TV and online sexual advice ads, let alone go shopping & have 10, 20, 30 or ‘mo better ways to orgasm, look sexier or satisfy your partner shouting for your last-minute impulse buy at the checkout counter?

The Best 50th Wedding Anniversary Gift

50 Years of LoveCouples who stayed married through thick and thin for 50 years deserve an especially wonderful 50th anniversary celebration, one that celebrates their journey of love.

Commemorate their love with a photo scrapbook, buy a guest book to fill with cherished messages from family and friends. By 50 years together, most couples really don’t want or need more “stuff.”

You’re not ready to get divorced but you’ve had it with your marriage or committed partnership—perhaps saying that “you’re doing the tango to different tunes” is an extremely gentle way of putting it.

Wife Puts Husband for Sale on Craigslist

video game controllerWomen play video games but their number certainly doesn’t yet rival the amount of men & their obsession for their fave Xbox, Nintendo or PlayStation game. I’ve heard plenty of female friends gripe as passionately about how much time their husbands or boyfriends spend with video games vs. spending time with them. Many include video gamer on their Top 10 List of least desired traits in a potential mate.

One woman in Utah finally had it, even though she originally supported her husband’s other true love. She listed her video game-obsessed husband for sale on Craigslist when she tired of being ignored by the love of her life. Even her mother-in-law thought it was a fab idea and gave her a heads up!
