You probably got married as friends, but then found yourselves running into difficulty because you each had your own way of living and doing. You came from one family, and your partner came from another family, and those families were different.

Your job as a couple is to create some boundaries and rules that will guide you in your marriage. But if you’ve never created any rules before, and you or your partner don’t like rules and boundaries, it won’t be an easy task. (read more)

You’ve had your eight hours of sleep, a very productive morning and a healthy lunch - but as the afternoon hits you start to fall into a post-lunch slump.

Feeling drowsy after lunch is completely natural, according to Dr Fiona Kerr, a neuro specialist from the University of Adelaide, who explains that humans are “built for two sleeps a day”.

So, who's the sexiest of them all? Rihanna, Kate Beckinsale, Mila Kunis and Heidi Klum battle it out on the red carpet at 2016 Billboard Music Awards

It's one of the hottest music events of the year. So the stars certainly pulled out all the stops to sexy up the red carpet at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday night. Leading the way was Britney Spears, who was barely dressed in a sheer lace bodysuit over her underwear.
