How to Keep the Passion Alive in Your Marriage
Marriage is a curious institution. You can be married to someone for like 65 years now that people are living longer. Very often passion goes underground when children are born into the picture.
Ilissa
Is your marriage not as passionate as it used to be before your kids were born? Do you feel that the chemistry between the two of you is diminishing slowly and steadily? Well, marriage does bring about a lot of responsibility in our lives, and kids just add on heavily to it. With the children taking priority over every other thing, it's hard for the couples to rekindle the romance in their relationship.
In the mad rush of coping with the daily chores and errands, couples tend to forget the very reason that joined them into matrimony. They also forget that life is not meant to be lived like robots. It is a beautiful gift that needs to be cherished in all its varied circumstances. Though it's not that easy to take care of every single thing in the household, a little thought and consideration slipped into your schedule can get the same old joy seeping back into your married life.

The Impact Celebrities Have on Our Lives
Why are we so fascinated with celebrities these days? Is it a good thing?
Ilissa
People often ask me why I use celebrity examples to illustrate my work. Well, look around you. The truth is that we are obsessed with celebrities. Head to the checkout line at a grocery store and you’ll see all the magazines, each trying to have the most salacious story on the cover to gain your attention so that you’ll spend your hard-earned dollar buying it. For many people, not a day goes by when they don’t sneak a peek at their favorite celebrity gossip website. Sites like TMZ.com and PerezHilton.com are some of the hottest websites online, garnering millions of hits a day.
I use celebrities as examples because they act as good reflections for us. Read More>>>

Parenting Styles/Children's Temperaments: The Match
If you have kids then this article is for you. What kind of parent are you? There's actually one that works the best. Read on and see what kind of parenting style you have!
Ilissa
Parents' lives change when a child is born. Right from the start they need to make decisions: bottle or breast feeding; carriage or stroller; nanny or day care, work or stay at home; and the list goes on. As children grow older, the decisions don't stop; they change -- school, meals, allowances, after-school activities, friendships, holidays. Although solutions to these individual daily dilemmas are important, it's the parents'overall style and attitude that count as they influence, teach and socialize their children.
Parenting style—what is it?
As all parents know all too well, parenting is complex, and there are no easy answers. The interaction of many specific actions and attitudes on the part of parents come together to affect a child's development. Parenting style refers to the broad overall pattern of parental actions, rather than to a single act.

Why It's Okay (Actually, Essential) to Put Yourself First
Many women find it difficult to put themselves first. Think it's selfish? Think again.
Ilissa
I learned the hard way how to put myself first.
Almost 20 years ago, my husband's identical twin brother killed himself. He was addicted to drugs. My husband—also addicted, I soon discovered—began a rapid descent along the same ruinous path, forsaking me and our 1-year-old son for grief's dark embrace. I tried to help my husband, became, in fact, almost sick with trying to help him and take care of our baby and our precarious finances. Read More>>>
