Couples Who Get Drunk Together, Stay Together, According To A New Study
Drink up, couples of the world — it may save your relationship. People are constantly trying to find new methods and hidden secrets behind the success of a relationship. Is it understanding? Courtesy? Patience? Turns out it’s alcohol. According to a study published in The Journals of Gerontology Series B: Psychological Series, couples who drink alcohol together reported a less negative relationship quality over time, and the results were “significantly greater among wives.” The study found that couples over the age 50 had better marriages if both partners drank or if both partners abstained from drinking. However, if one person in the relationship remained sober while the other drank, couples…

My Husband Didn’t Bond With Our Newborn (But Everything Turned Out Okay)
Rita Templeton originally posted this on Scary Mommy. I don’t know what I expected, but it wasn’t indifference. He held our baby, of course. Posed for pictures, face-to-face with our squishy newborn, smiling. Changed an obligatory diaper here and there, and napped with the baby on his chest, as most dads do. But I couldn’t shake the gnawing feeling that my husband wasn’t as in love with our child as I was, and it planted a seed of fear that he wouldn’t be the kind of dad I’d hoped he’d be. Maybe I was paranoid, having grown up largely without a father myself. For my children, I wanted a hands-on…

Pretty much everyone has a preference between Coke and Pepsi, even though most people can’t tell the difference. So what is the difference? “Pepsi is sweeter than Coke, so right away it had a big advantage in a sip test. Pepsi is also characterized by a citrusy flavor burst, unlike the more raisiny-vanilla taste of Coke. But that burst tends to dissipate over the course of an entire can, and that is another reason Coke suffered by comparison. Pepsi, in short, is a drink built to shine in a sip test,” writes Malcolm Gladwell in Blink, explaining why Pepsi tends to win the Pepsi Challenge. Turning to nutritional content, Pepsi has slightly more…

The Scariest Thing about Being a Man Applying for a Job at Victoria’s Secret
All I could think about was running. Looking across the desk at my boss, Jamie, I listened as he asked the question I’d been fearing for more two months. “WHY DO YOU WANT TO SELL WOMEN’S UNDERWEAR?” He glared at me, and I shifted my weight, trying to figure out what to say. I hadn’t expected this to happen when I walked into his office that morning. As a fitness assistant at my university’s student life center, I’d been on my way to drop off some gym visitation statistics in his mailbox. He usually didn’t come in that early, and if he did, it was almost impossible for him to…
