It’s Good to Be Picky -very Picky

What they meant with this rule is to ditch your grandma’s advice that if you’re single, don’t be picky. "What you want to do is be easy for one person to get and hard for everyone else, which will increase the likelihood of that one person's liking you."

It’s Not Just the Journey -it’s the Preparation

I think that this entire article is just a load of bull to promote the magazine. Check out this line:

”…he's learned that the ability to coordinate day-to-day tasks like shopping for O, The Oprah Magazine is a crucial component of a couple's happiness. "

So part of your all-important day to day tasks as a couple should be buying a magazine? Gimme a break! (Find the top ten best women's magazines here!)

You Can Change Your Spouse

I completely disagree on this one. Divorces do start from husbands complaining about their wives nagging about being a slob -and they’re telling us that we can actually get husbands to change through nagging??? I don’t think so!

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

nice question: "why would anyone want their husbands or wives to change for them?" I'm sure 99.9% of people should think about answer ...

you know - it's not so idiotic if you want to sell more of your own magazine ;)

I agree with you- especially the last one. You can't change anyone. They can only choose to change themselves. But that'll only happen in a loving environment. Furthermore why would anyone want their husbands or wives to change for them? Talk about pushover. Who wants someone like that?
