If I was to ever write another book it would be about the ‘things’ in a relationship that turns out are the really important bits. You know, like how you like to celebrate Christmas, whether you get to the airport early or late, or whether you put dirty dishes into the dishwasher immediately or leave […]

A Swedish study has found that we look terrible when we are tired. While, I respect all research, I don’t think these findings are going to come as a big shock to anyone. We’ve all had the unpleasant experience of our own frightening reflection after a night of no, or bad sleep. The main purpose
Don’t blame it on the sunshine, moonlight or good times… blame it on the cortisol. Read More »
There have been a number of articles recently about findings by Patti Wood – a body language expert – around what your sleeping positions reveals about the state of your relationship.

Bed manufacturer Sealy (in the UK) has released the findings of a recent study into British sleep habits. While one could be a little cynical about a bed manufacturer espousing the benefits of couples sleeping separately, the stats of 36% of couples sleeping separately (even sometimes) does confirm the broad trends I discovered while

Famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright noted that “the space within becomes the reality of the building”. I think it’s the same with relationships.

Oh Oprah! You need to re-think who you are inviting on your show to give advice.
