Good Idea or Bad Idea: Merging Your Bank Accounts
After you've said "I do," it's time to start your life as husband and wife. Even though being a newlywed is no doubt exciting, there are still a lot of decisions to make, and what to do with your money should be pretty high on that list. Since times have changed since our parents got married, merging your bank accounts is no longer the obvious choice when it comes to financial planning.
Good Idea or Bad Idea: Going to a Strip Club With Your Man
I was out with friends earlier this week, and one of my buddies couldn't stop talking about all the couples he saw when he went to a strip club for his friend's bachelor party — I guess he was surprised by the number of women there. Though I'm not a fan of strip clubs myself — I just feel so bad for the women that are being objectified — I know many women who enjoy going with their significant others. Perhaps they like to keep tabs on their men, or maybe they genuinely enjoy it — whatever the reason, to each her own!
Good Idea or Bad Idea: Befriending a BFF to Get the Date
The other night out with a friend, I was approached by a guy who was friendly and talkative. In fact, he was so relaxed that I could tell right off the bat that he wasn’t interested in me. All it took was one glance at the googly eyes he was making at my friend for me to know that he was befriending me as a way of getting to her.
Good Idea or Bad Idea: Sex in the Shower
It can be a total turn on to enjoy some sexy time outside of the bedroom. And there’s nothing quite as steamy as a soapy lather and two naked bods in a hot shower. But having sex in water is not without its negatives, and the confining and slippery walls of the shower can be especially hard to maneuver.
A Good Idea or a Bad Idea: Mixing Friends
Mixing friends can sometimes be a lot of fun, but other times it can turn out disastrous. When you're the only common thread amongst different groups, one would think that because they like you, they'd like each other too, but that isn't always the case. Of course we want everyone to get along, but it my experience, sometimes it's just better to keep specific friends separate.
Good Idea or Bad Idea: Coed Parties
Although I love the traditional female-only showers and bachelorette parties, I think there’s something really fun about the concept of sharing those special occasions with the man in your life. Then again, before taking the plunge, some serious girl time is definitely in order. Plus sometimes throwing guys into the mix only makes things more complicated and less fun; there's really nothing like just being with the girls!
Good Idea or Bad Idea: Waiting Until Marriage to Cohabitate
Moving in with your significant other is a big step in a relationship. It requires a lot of sacrifice and compromise. It also reveals things about yourself and your partner that you didn’t even know existed.
Good Idea or Bad Idea: Friends Dating Friends
When you spend a lot of time with your best friend and her boyfriend it's inevitable that you find yourself spending time with his friends, too. Sure it is nice for everyone to get along, but what happens when your friends start to date each other? Is that a recipe for disaster if things don't work out?
Good Idea or Bad Idea: "Mommy Makeover"
Have you heard of the "mommy makeover"? It's a triple whammy under the knife including a breast lift with or without breast implants, a tummy tuck and some liposuction for women after giving birth. Pregnancy obviously takes a toll on your body, but some women are actually feeling resentful of their kids for their post pregnancy flaws.
