affection

A study (via The Daily Mail) done by researchers in Australia and the U.S. suggests that babies who are cared for by nurturing and affectionate mothers may be better equipped to resist the trap of drug addiction later in life than those who were raised by hands-off caregivers.

Researchers explored the reason more frequent sex makes people happier — and the answer isn't as obvious as you might think.

A couple of years ago, I interviewed a psychologist about how to make marriage last and one of his prescriptions surprised me: get a dog. I love dogs, and always have. I smile at them and try to make eye contact.

Recently, I was in a small mountaintop village in Crete, watching an elderly woman work on a loom. (I know, I know. I didn't expect it, either.)

Are there significant differences in how men and women show one another that they care in a marriage?
