If you are unattached, try smiling at an attractive stranger at the coffee shop or on the street. If you're in a relationship, shoot your partner a sexy look across the table.

Spicy Wifey has emphasized the power of flirting with your husband in past posts. Dr. Laura is echoing our sentiments! During our courtships our stomachs fluttered with excitement when our guy flirted and complimented us. Men too are stimulated by doting and expressions of affection.

Hot Homework = Date Night & Couples Time

Dr. Laura Berman (as seen on Oprah) has issued a homework challenge for couples seeking to improve or change their sex lives. Dr. Laura is the director of the Berman Center in Chicago, a specialized healthcare facility for women and couples where she provides general and sexual therapy. She is also an assistant clinical professor of OB-GYN and psychiatry at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University. Dr. Berman has been working as a sex educator, researcher and therapist for 20 years. She is the author of the New York Times best-selling book Real Sex for Real Women.

"If you want to be better in bed, you need to do your homework! Try Dr. Laura Berman's weekly homework assignment, designed to help you ace your sex life.This Week:You and your partner should sit down and commit to carving out some "couples time" throughout the week." Plan on doing these three things:

Set a weekly date night. Get the grandparents to take the kids or join a babysitting pool with friends. Set your date night in stone so you won't skip it!

Set a weekly sex date. This date has to be at least once a week, and mix up the time and place. Your sex date can coincide with date night.

Set aside special time. Carve out two 10- to15-minute blocks of time during the work week to cuddle, hang out and relax together, somewhere other than in font of the TV.

Ok, its almost the weekend, so plan a date now! Or plan ahead for next week. Check in next Thursday for next weeks homework assignment. Study hard and we hope you get an A+!

Love Doesn't Hurt

The Chris Brown and Rhianna saga has played out in the media for weeks and Oprah recently explored the issue of domestic abuse on her show and plans to continue the discussion next Thursday when she speaks with men who have been abusers. (Tune in!)

Oprah reiterated her earlier message to singer, Rhianna that "if a man hits you once, he will hit you again and that love doesn't hurt."

Teen guests on the show expressed mixed perspectives on the issue. As have many in the public. The Chris Brown and Rhianna incident reintroduces the topic of domestic violence and abuse to mainstream media, it exposes violence and abuse in young love and the stigma often placed on victims. Rhianna and Chris Brown both grew up witnessing violence and abuse in their homes. Statics show that witnesses (victims) of abuse often become abusers. Oprah recognizes that and offered words of encouragement to both of them. There is much to learn from the story of these two young people. It forces all of us to reflect on our personal lives and experiences.

Abuse has no specific face...it affects female, male, rich, poor and all racial ethnicity's. Its present in all religious affiliations and political orientation. It can affect any household. Emotional and verbal abuse is more prevalent in marriages than physical abuse and battering. However, its not as easily recognized. Verbal and emotional abuse, when on the receiving end can be as debilitating as physical battering.

Abuse is a pattern of control that one person exercises over another. Battering is a behavior that physically harms, provokes fear and prevents their partner from pursuing their free will and forces them to behave in ways they do not want to.

If you think you might be in an abusive relationship, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233)

Lets talk about it...post your comments. We want to hear from you.

Don't let stress chip away at your marriage

Our jobs cause us stress and we still go to work everyday. Our children stress us out, but we don't give them away. We cope and make it work! So why do so many let stress tear their marriages apart?

Parade Magazine ran a story on divorces in America. Their survey revealed that finances and sex are the main sources of stress in marriage. Women also noted household chores high on their list of gripes. No surprise that 60% of men reported that they do not have enough sex and surprisingly to some, 51% of women shared that same feeling. Refreshingly enough, most still remained faithful in their marriages. Of the women respondents, 44% thought about leaving and 31% of men had the same thought.

With the current state of the economy many couples are experiencing stress and strain. It may be difficult for couples to relate and connect due to distractions and stress in their lives. This is a time that most couples should find strength and encouragement in their spouse. If only they could find a way to reconnect. Divorce will certainly be a greater source of financial strain and stress.

Many couples fall out of love because of stress. Stress can chip away at a couples bond and ones individual inner vitality. As a result, one can loose the self confidence necessary to nurture themselves and their relationships. In order to fall in love with your spouse again, you may need to fall back in love with yourself, FIRST.

- A boost of self confidence is a must. This may be difficult if you are feeling depressed. Don't put unnecessary demands on yourself and your spouse. Don't feel guilty when addressing your personal needs. If it will make you a better marriage partner, your spouse and marriage will benefit in the end.

- Stress will always manifest in life so develop better ways to cope. You don't have to put out every fire or tend to every crisis. Stress can take a toll on your mind and your physical health...its a scientific fact. Prioritize your endless to-do list.

- Do not measure success in your marriage in terms of accomplishments. If you do so, when you face adversity or difficulties you may interpret that adversity as a failure. This outlook will produce more stress. You can't and don't need to control everything.

- Communicate from a loving place. You want to be heard when communicating your feelings and needs. Approach your mate the same manner you would want to be approached in your high stressed state. Ask open ended questions instead of running down a list of things to-do.

Hold on tight and don't let go!

We invite you to share your stories of stress and how you cope and deal with stress in your marriage.
