A.J. Jacobs (Author of "The Year of Living Biblically" and Esquire editor) offers some unusual marriage advice in an Esquire article, "The Counterintuitive Man's Guide to Marriage." His three tips are:
1. Go to bed angry.
2. Bottle up your feelings.
3. Sleep separately.
Read his explanations at the link above.
Agree or not, I take A.J. Jacobs' advice seriously. Why? He was one of the first long-married individuals (9 years, at the time) to undergo a brain MRI to measure his feelings of romance, sex and attachment for his wife. The MRI showed he's as attracted to his wife as he is to Angelina Jolie ... and that, I think, makes him worth listening to.
Read his coverage of the brain research here. (Seriously - read it. It's funny and fascinating, much like everything else I've ever read by A.J. Jacobs.)
Personally, this is one of the most encouraging reports of research I've read in a long time: because, ladies, don't we all want to believe our husbands when they swear they really do find us attractive? There are days when I find it highly improbable, but A.J. Jacobs has given me hope.
