Super Bowl Sunday is synonymous with snacks, tackles and fun. This year, use the national event as an excuse to get hyped with your honey. Fuel your partner'sappetite by creating your own delicious spreads and ordering in Buffalo wings, potato skins, and other finger foods for munching on during the big game. It'll belove at first bite.

Put on your team's jersey and pretend you're rooting in the stands. If you are lucky enough to live near the stadium, tailgate in the parking lot. You don't need a view of the field to have a good time and sites like Tailgating.com can give you tips on making the most out of your parking lot party. If you and your date are cheering for opposite teams, make a friendly wager on the game.

If hosting your own soiree is your idea of a perfect Super Bowl Sunday, invite over your beau and his closest friends and ask everyone to bring in a football themed snack, like "pigs in blankets," or cake pops. Challenge

A few weeks ago, on the new hit show Whitney, one of the characters was freezing her eggs in order to delay finding a partner and having children. Is this a sign of the times?

Both women and men are waiting longer and longer to get married for the first time, according to the Census Bureau, and fewer women are having babies before their 40 th birthdays, the Centers for Disease Control reports. Interestingly, more and more women are having babies well into their 40s. Could it be that it has become more difficult for couples to connect romantically?

"Women are likely to be more independent and professionally successful than they were a generation or two ago, and that's wonderful, but it can come with baggage," says Jane Atkinson, author of The Frog Whisperer: A Three-Step Approach to Finding Lasting Love. "We're less likely to think about the energy we're putting out to others, particularly the opposite sex,

When a seemingly "rock solid" celebrity couple separates - as with Heidi Klum and Seal's divorce announcement after seven years of marriage - the first public reaction is always surprise. Thanks to the sheer volume of attention paid to celebrities' lives via television, tabloids and other media, it is easy to believe you actually know these stars. You feel a connection to them that makes their relationship issues cause you to feel like a personal friend's relationship has broken up. You begin to analyze the celebrity relationship in the same manner, questioning what happened and what went wrong. Of course, the tabloids add fuel to your frenzy when they get down and dirty with many and varied rumors: He cheated. She cheated. He has anger issues. She has an alcohol problem. You begin to feel dismayed, thinking, "Again? Another one bites the dust?"

For many couples, the lead-up to Valentine's Day is an exciting time filled with promise and possibility. The cold weather offers an excuse to snuggle up, while the holidays are the perfect reason to shower each other with love and affection. Unfortunately, many relationships aren't so lucky. According to a recent study in Men's Health, the time span from Christmas to Valentine's Day is one of the most common break-up times of the year.

Regardless of the month or season, when your relationship is over, you just know. But if you're still on the fence, unsure what to do about your love interest, here are five red flags you should watch for in your relationship. Otherwise, you probably won't make it to Valentine's Day:

1. Too much fighting: The holidays are a special time to share with your significant other; they should be filled with fun, food and family, not fighting. If you find yourself unhappy more often than not, it may be time to call it quits

The World Wide Web offers us an unending sea of possibilities, and people aren't hesitating to take advantage of the dating scene that the Internet has to offer. Many of us lead busy and hectic lives, and it can seem impossible to meet someone worth dating on your own, so the convenience of dating sites can make finding "the one" easier. Of course, you can flirt with people online by sending smiley faces or winks, but all body language and human contact is lost. That said, even though you may not be able to charm your possible love interest physically, here are some ways to flirt online while simultaneously keeping your cool:

1. Wit and humor: The easiest way to break the ice is by making people laugh. If you can make someone break out into a fit of laughter or bring a smile to their face, you've already caught their interest and they're going to feel more comfortable to be themselves around you. The sooner the tension is broken, the sooner you'll be

During the hectic holiday season, it's easy for stress levels to rise, which can sometimes equal the downfall of romance and intimacy.

To ensure you and your sweetie don't turn sour on each other, here are some of my personal tips for relaxation that you and your partner can practice to help keep you breathing easy this season:

1. Devote a little time to indulging in like-no-one's-watching fun.

Newlyweds Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald are known for loving to hit the dance floor. They've been seen together at many a club cutting a rug. That said, it's time to take their lead and relax with your mate by going out dancing. You'll not only enjoy an intimate evening due to sensual physical contact, you'll also melt away stress and raise your serotonin levels with all that great exercise. And you'll burn lots of calories to boo - by shaking your booties!

2. Share spiked hot cocoa by a fireplace.

You're on the subway, and the couple next to you starts hooking up. By the third stop, she's sitting on his lap, and his hand suspiciously disappears into her gray cardigan. One of her crossed legs casually rests on yours. There you sit - an unwilling participant in a ménage à trois.

The truth is, a little PDA is part of any healthy relationship, and it's no different for our favorite celebrity couples. But, when PDA goes from "frisky" to all-out "foreplay," couples should pull the curtains on the show and head indoors. While some Hollywood duos try to keep their lip-locking to a minimum in public, these celebrity couples opted out of getting a room and gave their fans a VIP pass into their love life:

1. Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. Since Bieber and Gomez took their relationship public, the PDA has been in full force. Earlier this year, the actress/singer was photographed straddling Bieber and kissing him in Hawaii, while her 17-year-old pop

Why we can so quickly get into an argument with the one we love? What is it about intimate relationships that leave us all vulnerable to lashing out against the person we care about the most? Does it have something to do with dignity?

One of the common desires we all share as human beings is to be treated well. We all want to be seen, heard, acknowledged and understood. In short, we want our worth recognized, no matter what kind of relationship we are in. This desire becomes even stronger when our connection involves romance. We have a hair-trigger sensitivity to when we are dismissed, ignored, criticized, judged or treated badly by our partners. Add to it that the reactions we have to these insults to our dignity usually happen behind closed doors, and out of the public eye. As a result, the worst part of us can appear in a matter of seconds.

Assaults to our dignity create a fast track to our primal, self-defensive impulses, and we can turn
