    Have you met the man of your dreams? If so, chances are pretty good that you have dreams about him. But what kind of dreams? And can dreams affect your relationship? Apparently the answer is YES. At least according to another one of those crazy studies. People who were in relationships were asked to keep a dream and relationship log, describing both. And wouldn't you know it? People who had good dreams about their significant other, dreams that included sex especially, woke up feeling all warm and spicy about their partner, and that translated into how the partner was treated in real life. But those who had bad dreams, especially dreams about infidelity? Hoo boy. You don't want to be living with that person!

    Zoe Saldana might be famous for her year-long relationship with Bradley Cooper, but she recently revealed that she might eventually end up with a woman. She told Allure magazine, for whom she also posed topless:

    "[I might] end up with a woman raising my children. That's how androgynous I am."

    Uh, Zoe, I think there's a word for this and it's not "androgynous." That's more like when you crop your hair, wear boys' underpants, and maybe put on a bowler hat. What you're talking about is something called "bisexuality."

    All of those other "how to land a man" lists have got it wrong. They tell you to go to certain places, wear certain things, flirt a certain way, laugh at his lame jokes. But none of that is really going to make you stand out in the desperately overcrowded dating scene. Every single woman knows it's brutal out there. So here are the 9 things that will actually help you find your future husband.

    What do you think a woman needs to find a good man?

    I’m coming up on the seven-year anniversary of my second marriage.

    And I’m really, really happy in my relationship with my husband.

    But I can’t help thinking back to this same time in my first marriage, when I was unhappy and contemplating divorce. Which I followed through with just a year later.

    What a difference the second time around has been. I have no doubt that this marriage will last for an eternity.

    And I’m not alone. A study by the Marriage Foundation found that second marriages are less likely to end in divorce. While 45 percent of first marriages break up, only 31 percent of second marriages follow suit.

    I like those statistics. And I agree with the reasons that go along with them: age and experience.

    Congratulations, Mom! You've actually made it all the way to the teen years without (technically) losing your mind. Except there's a good chance you'll lose it in the very near future, because this gig is NOT for the faint of heart. Seriously, did you put your parents through the same torture?? Because if you did, you better buy your mom something better for Mother's Day than that pair of slippers you found on sale. Speaking of which, all you really want this Mother's Day is 24 hours without someone rolling their eyes at you. Am I right? Here are 25 more ways you know you're the mom of a teen.

    It’s been a while since I shared a misadventure of a single sister in the city but this latest one is a winner. Last month, I went to a birthday celebration in Philly for my not-even-a-year-younger-than-me sister, another product of the infamous babymaker who is my father. Her friends and some of her other siblings crammed into the space she reserved at a Moroccan restaurant and I—all late and wrong since I cut my hair and can’t get the ish to look decent enough for public viewing—sat uncharacteristically quiet in my seat. Even chatterboxes like yours truly get introverted sometimes. Then again, the hair keeps me a little more sedated as of late. Out on the street, one of her other guests approached me to introduce himself. It seemed perfectly innocent, since he mentioned something about applying for a job in D.C., and since I live in D.C., I just figured homeboy was networking.

    Everyone has a type: People we are just more naturally attracted to than other people. Stand in any group of people and you'll find yourself quickly gravitating toward one of them and, if you're single, probably thinking something along the lines of, "He's cute ... I really like what he's saying ... I could picture myself with him." And yet, you've just met this person and have no idea if he's a serial killer. But you truly feel you know him. There's a reason for this. Experts theorize that "chemistry" serves a purpose -- your body may be sniffing out whose DNA would best align with yours to make the healthiest offspring. So your intuition about who you mesh with means that is the person you should probably breed with. The problem? Often the best breeder isn't going to make the best partner. Here are 5 reasons to break away from your type.

    If you’ve been stuck in a bad marriage for a while, getting divorced is a release. Yes, it's still hard and sad and complicated, especially when there are children involved. But the truth is, once you're out of the marriage, it feels like a weight has been lifted.

    And with that lifting can come an invigorating rush of new-found sexuality.

    Sure, for some divorced women, whose marriages dissolved unexpectedly or as a result of infidelity, the heartbreak and trauma they've experienced can translate in to a complete lack of sexual desire.

    But others, like me, who were unhappy in their marriages and whose divorces gave them relief, can't wait to break free.

    Break free to have some hot, casual sex, that is.

    There is no doubt that teenagers tend to get a bad rap. Between the bullying and the weird YouTube videos and the drug use and the sassiness, most parents of children dread the day our precious babies turn 13. But there are some teens who make us realize things aren't really as bad as they might seem.

    Maddie is a senior in high school, and in a story that is floating around Facebook this week, it's revealed that she went to the parents of Jon, a junior, and asked them if she could take their son to prom. She chose this way because Jon is autistic. “He’s a junior,” she explained to Jon's mom. “So it’s his prom too. I just think he should have the chance to go.”

    Cue the tears. Apparently the two met through a group that pairs teens with special needs with kids like Maddie and she took a special liking to Jon. What a moving story.
