Conjugal Visits: Don’t be Alarmed
This week, it’s all about why you shouldn’t be alarmed by the alarming similarities between arranged marriage and online dating. The other morning, in a totally random twist of events, my yoga instructor started talking about arranged marriages and this couple she knows who had one. And then this gal sitting next to me went off:...
Love Guru: Heartfelt Visions
So many people in my life are connecting with the need to step back and review their lives. They do this in order to connect with their deep heartfelt visions, those “goals” that are actually worth pursuing with their time, love, belief, passion and involvement. Worth investing their most precious resource: time. Worth taking risks for:...

Showmances: 7 Deadly Sins a Girl Can Commit to Kill a Relationship
Women are born to love, nurture and watch Katherine Heigl movies with boxes of kleenex at the ready. Still, despite the continual loop of RomCom anthologies in their heads and the ability to blow-dry their hair, make coffee and Kardashian bump-watch all at once, they can still be a little clueless when it comes to...
Conjugal Visits: The Vocabulary of Generation Sex(less)
About three years ago, College Journalism Scholar Dan Reimold wrote a blog for The Huffington Post called The Vocabulary of Generation Sex. It’s all about the new(ish) sex acronyms and euphemisms college sex columnists are coming up with. It’s kind of funny, but doesn’t really compete with this list of married sex terms I’ve coined....
Love Guru: It’s All in Your Head
This week we have more balance between our bodies and our intellects, and so we are better able to appraise and digest the lessons we have been gathering of the material world, including our bodies. Our mind – intellect – is a wonderful tool for evaluating what is happening, for assessing inputs and results, for...
Showmances: 7 Deadly Sins a Guy Can Commit to Kill a Relationship
Screwing up a relationship typically comes down to one major misstep or a ton of minor ones. For men, forgetting a birthday or anniversary might leave them couch-bound for more than a day or two, but sex-ing the hot neighbor is likely to leave them sleeping on the front porch permanently. But, beyond the biggies...
Conjugal Visits: 6 Weird Things That Apparently Won’t Affect Your Relationship
All week I’ve been stumped for a topic for Conjugal Visits, and nobody except The Gmail Team and my editor ever sends anything to me at my 303 email address, which happens to be jamie@303magazine.com. (I slightly prefer relationship questions, but will gladly take pictures that will give me nightmares and stories about Matt Lauer...
Love Guru: To Me, or Not To Me
That is the question. This week I encourage you to practice being Self-ish. Not selfish, Self-ish. Being ‘selfish’ is acting with complete disregard for those people around you. It is lacking care, compassion and consideration. It is, basically, abusive and way below human value and quality. On the other hand, practicing being Self-ish is learning...
CandiDates: Once a Mother…
I heard something on the radio the other day that made me chuckle at first, then really got me thinking. With Mother’s Day around the corner, this guy wanted to know whether he owed his wife a gift. The wife is pregnant with their first child. I shrugged, listening to the debate. Why not, right?...
Dating on the Brink of 30 — Dating is… hard
Dating as a teenager is awesome. You pass a note to the nearest boy without braces—as long as he doesn’t smell and only sports the average amount of hormonal acne that comes along with that weird phase between childhood and adulthood. If he checks the ‘yes’ box, you’re committed—like, seriously. You’re boyfriend and girlfriend, and...
Showmances: How to Tell If She’s Faking It
Magic Mike might have been known for his stripper dance moves and heart of gold (not to mention “magic wand”), but perhaps his stage name was derived less from his advanced thrust capabilities and more from his bedroom tricks. Every guy wants to be “like Mike” and perform a little magic in the bedroom. Guys...
