Some of these findings will shock you, I think. Tenderness matters more to men than women?

TUESDAY, July 5 (HealthDay News) — Cuddling and caressing help boost satisfaction in long-term relationships, according to a new study of middle-aged and older couples.

The study also found that tenderness is more important to men than to women, that men are more likely to report being happy in their relationship, and that women are more likely to be satisfied with their sexual relationship, said the researchers from the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University.

The study included more than 1,000 couples from the United States, Brazil, Germany, Japan and Spain who had been together for an average of 25 years. The participants were 40- to 70-year-old men and their female partners.

Men were more likely to be happy in a relationship if they were in good health and if it was important to them that their partner experienced orgasm during sex. Frequent cuddling and kissing also predicted relationship happiness for men, but not for women.

Both women and men were happier the longer they had been together and if they had higher levels of sexual functioning, the investigators found.

Japanese men and women were significantly happier with their relationships than Americans, who were happier than Brazilians and Spaniards, according to Kinsey Institute director Julia Heiman and colleagues.

Sexual satisfaction for both women and men was associated with frequent kissing and cuddling, sexual caressing by a partner, high sexual functioning, and frequent sex. For men, having had more sex partners in their lifetime was a predictor of less sexual satisfaction, the report indicated.

Sexual satisfaction for women increased over time. Those who had been with their partner for less than 15 years were less likely to be sexually satisfied, but satisfaction increased significantly after 15 years. Read the article

With infidelity a focus of media attention these past few days I’m seeing more information surface not only about men and affairs but also women and affairs. Here are a couple of figures that might surprise you: 80% - people who become addicted to an online affair, 45-55% – of married women engage in extramarital sex at some time during their relationship, 90% – of Americans believe adultery is morally wrong.

While infidelity can occur at anytime in a relationship, there are certain times when it is more likely to occur than others. In addition, there are certain relationship factors which can dramatically increase the potential for infidelity.

Is it possible for men and women to safe guard their marriages from the betrayal of marriage infidelity?

Marriage Advice and Social Networking!

Dr. Max Vogt — Sun, 15 May 2011 17:27:29 +0000

Illicit affairs can be sparked or generated by the use of Facebook or other social networks. You must remember that once you have put something online it is remembered forever, so it’s important to be even MORE careful and thoughtful in your judgement than when you are conversing live with a friend where you might be kidding around.

Also, remember that anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law and that no one has to you you, your Miranda Rights to use it. As a matter of fact, lawyers are using social networking sites to build their cases right at this moment.

ﾠ“According to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, 81 percent of the country’s top divorce attorneys say in the last five years, they’ve seen and used a surge of evidence that came for social networking sites.”

“What people have to say about themselves can be very significant in how you strategically plan and work the case,” said Lawyer Wong.ﾠ

After counseling failed, Randy went straight to his divorce attorney. Seattle attorney Juliana Wong has had similar clients. “You can say goodbye to the days where you find lipstick on the color. It’s not that anymore; it’s these emails and text …

“And don’t think privacy settings will save you.”

What different types/styles of marriage counseling are there?

Dr. Max Vogt — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 04:03:41 +0000

Lauren CA asked:

My husband and I would like to do some marriage counseling to help with some problems we currently have but I don’t know what kind of counseling would be best. I’m sure there is counseling that is done in a group or one on one, but what else is out there? Are there different names for the different types or styles of counseling? What are they?

I’d like to do some research to see what would be best for us.

How to deal with someone like this?

Dr. Max Vogt — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 17:46:51 +0000

everydayimhustling asked:

I’m normally the biggest proponent of “divorce is not an option” but I am starting not to feel that way anymore.

My husband and I argue all the time. Over everything. Our one year wedding anniversary is next month and I really don’t think we’re going to make it because all of this constant bickering has worn me down. I’m truly tired of it – and of him. We have an eight month old and I tried to hang in there for her but it’s not working.

Today, we argued because I didn’t agree with him on something. Each time I respectfully disagree, he gets upset and then the conversation goes south. I’ve tried to tell him so many times that we’re two different people and we’re not going to agree all the time! What’s so hard to understand about that? But he doesn’t get it. Then he ends up hanging up the phone on me. I call him back and he does it again. Tonight, I’ve called him no less than 30 times and he refuses to pick up the phone. I’ve since stopped trying and let it be. I really don’t have time for that childishness.

I’m tired of being disrespected and I really don’t have any respect for him. I would like us to try marriage counseling like other couples but Mr. Know It All refuses to go.

I’m just trying to find ways to deal with someone like this because as far as I’m concerned, the marriage is over. But even in light of that, I have to deal with him because of our child.

So any suggestions on how to deal with someone like this?

I just posted a thread and majority of the people advise that I need marriage counseling. For those of you that have gone to marriage counseling, how much does it generally cost? Is there anything as free counseling?
Any recommendation for one in Houston, TX. Or a good website? I’m new to this. Thank you.
