No matter how in tune you are with your partner, misunderstandings and communication gaffes are always possible. Here are five of the most common, yet avoidable communication mistakes that could harm a relationship.
Once derided as being like plastic bag with the erotic appeal of a jellyfish, the female condom's being reinvented as the next big thing in safe sex. Emily Anthes investigates.
Like any young couple in love, Brittany Pennington and Sally Beaver wanted to get married in a way that they would never forget. Some couples go big by renting a horse and buggy, skydiving out of an airplane, or getting married in Las Vegas by Elvis (hey, don't knock it till you try it). But Pennington and Beaver did…
You know what it's like. You are totally over and done with your relationship, but for some reason you just can't quite deal with the fact that it's ending. Oh yeah. We've all been there.
WAKE UP, UPPER EAST SIDE BITCHES: THERE'S A MARRIAGE AFOOT. Yes, plebs, you heard me: the human host of lovable nerd Seth Cohen ("Adam Brody") and the human host of conniving and well-dressed teen Blair Waldorf ("Leighton Meester") have been secretly joined in holy matrimony. It's just as the prophecy (a fan fiction you…
Valentine's Day is over and while everyone is done rushing to Jared at the last minute to pick up a chocolate diamond and a marshmallow rose (I got a marshmallow rose yesterday; I was not amused), for some people Valentine's day can be a reminder that one may want to try to find love, or at least a person to pay for…
So you're spending Valentine's Day alone and feeling sad about it. What do you do? Curl up on the couch and cry? Stare forlornly into the window of a restaurant packed with couples who are sharing the same long spaghetti noodle like the dogs in Lady and the Tramp? Well, knock it off, sister. You're a grown-ass woman —…
You've read all the love poems, filtered through all the advice columns online, read all the self-help books, watched all the corny romance movies and you think you know exactly what you're looking for in a soul mate. But could this short film actually have the real reason why you're still single?
Have you ever been home for the holidays and felt the crushing need to bring either a partner home or make one up so people would just stop asking when you're going to get your life together and settle down? No? Me neither. What do you mean why is my eye twitching like that?
New data shows that the most first dates don't come about as the result of an awkward introduction, an awkward set up, or an awkward pickup line at a bar. Most first dates happen because the couple involved met online. But what about the people who are still meeting potential mates under comparatively bizarre…
Sorry in advance for the nightmare fodder, but Valentine's Day is approaching or some such thing and so, you know, kissing and love.

Very sad.
Love is hard. Relationships are tricky. If you have problems in your marriage, try this: take a deep breath; count to ten; then, write an essay on the internet about why your husband is just not sexy.
Quoth Jason Dohring of shooting the TV series: "A lot of that emotion was very real for me. I think I was in love with [Kristen] for the three years we made that show… Like, I truly felt like I would die without her, and I think that's what underlined everything people loved about them as a couple."
Thirty-eight seconds into this trailer, we hear that familiar plea: "I need your help, Veronica." Yes, folks, the Veronica Mars movie is real and it's happening and it's almost here!
Not to exaggerate too terribly much, but we are all hyperbolic as fuck now. No, most things hardly qualify as truly "awesome" in spite of rampant use of the word, and checking out someone's Facebook photos, the ones they posted deliberately with the explicit understanding (or hope) that they would be looked at does not…
Do you know the couple in the above photo? Because this picture of their proposal on the Rockefeller ice skating rink two nights ago is pretty freaking magical and they should have it. JEZEBEL ACTIVATE!
Tell MC Skat Cat to keep his filthy paws to himself, because it turns out that opposites want to stay as far away from each other as possible.
The New York Times' Modern Love column is like a box of chocolates, if half of the chocolates were replaced by cringeworthy middle school journals crumpled up and dipped in hardened, bitter regret. I'm happy to report, however, that this week's Modern Love was actually pretty sweet.
