Studies show that couples are now fighting about time spent socializing with 'others' on Facebook, sending and receiving texts at dinnertime, and whether its okay to bring the laptop on the romantic getaway vacation. To deal with any and all challenges that arise, it's important for a couple to foster love, happiness, and connection in their relationship on a daily basis to keep the TEAM strong!
Remember the 3 A's--affection, attention, and appreciation and be generous with all three often. . For every negative balance with 5 positives, have fun, and kiss often.

"Why Men Cheat: The Tiger Woods Saga"

Wednesday, December 3, 2009 @ 4:30 pm
ABC NEWS- Channel 7 (Los Angeles)

Tiger Woods and other celebrities who have been caught having affairs are unfortunately just a mirror for a growing problem that is becoming a behavioral pandemic that threatens the emotional health and well being of millions of men, women and their relationships. ABC asks Dr. Sheri why do men cheat? (Although it's not just men, the statistics for women having affairs has ballooned too). Here are just a few simple reasons why men cheat:

1. Because I can. 2. It's the thrill. 3. Spend a lot of time away from home. 4. It's just sex, not love so it's not cheating. 5. Change in sex life and attention at home. 6. Ego boost. 7. It's biological, men are wired to spread their seed. 8. Not thinking about the consequences until it's too late.

The reasons why men (and women) cheat are much more complex than the list implies. For more info on this topic, please watch: (you'll be taken my videos on Videojug.com)

"Cancer and Divorce: Why divorce is far more common when the wife is the patient"

Tuesday, November 10, 2009 @ 11pm

CBS News Channel 2 (Los Angeles)

Here's a depressing piece of information. According to a study that examined the role gender played in so-called "partner abandonment", a woman is six times more likely to be separated or divorced soon after a diagnosis of cancer or multiple sclerosis than if a man in the relationship is the patient. The study also found that the longer the marriage the more likely it would remain intact. I believe that the better the marriage is to start with, the better the chances are that the relationship will survive and the love grow even stronger. If a relationship is shaky, a stresser like this can throw it over the edge. When disease hits, it's important to remember that the marriage needs attention, as well as the disease itself. If you find yourself in the caregiver role, it's important that you also GET support as well as give it.

Dr Sheri addresses the fascination and nationwide media attention we as a society are giving to people exhibiting bad, bizarre, and terrifying behavior. With reality TV creating celebrities and stars out of ordinary, dysfunctional people, are we not rewarding bad behavior and upping the ante on the kind of stunts people will resort to get attention, love, and temporary fame? Should parents that expose their children to dangerous activities and situations receive castigation vs. appearances on network television?

Pop star Rihanna has been named as the alleged victim in the domestic violence investigation involving her boyfriend Chris Brown. Chris has openly admitted on many TV shows that he is a survivor of a violent childhood of abuse.

Dr Sheri talks with EXTRA about the likelihood of adults who are 'unhealed' survivors of abuse perpetuating the cycle of abuse in adulthood and what needs to be done to heal.

FYI: There are three stages of recovery for adult survivors: remembering, mourning, and healing. To break the cycle of abuse- ingrained patterning, a survivor must first work through their memories of abuse and recognize that they were wronged as children. Second, grieve for the childhood they lost, mourn the fact that loved ones failed and betrayed them. Third,take an inventory of the current problem areas in their lives and dedicate themselves to working on controlling their anger and finding healthy outlets for any aggressive or self-destructive feelings they may still feel.

"Sex Over 45"
A new survey shows that sexual activity-marital or not-seems to be less frequent in over 45 age group.(*Personally I wonder how OVER are we talking about?) But continuing on, asked if satisfied with their sex lives, 43% said 'yes' down from 51% in 2004. This will probably not be a surprise, but respondents who had a partner but weren't married had sex more frequently and with more satisfaction than respondents who were married. People in nonmarried relations work harder at it and enjoy it more. The study also found that men are increasingly more satisfied with their sex lives, compared to women who are less satisfied. Yet, satisfied or not, frequency of sex in this age group is down 10 percentage points from 2004. Come on, Team OVER 45, we certainly have to turn these statistics around before the next survey!
