    Inside Intel For Men – How Women Think About Sex

    Hello, my fabulous men friends! So, I have a confession to make. When I started writing my advice to help people with their marriages and relationships, I really didn’t think you’d be interested. Not because I think you don’t care about your relationship. I guess I didn’t think you’d be interested in ME talking about it. But here we are – and I’m genuinely happy that I was wrong. I named my site “Hey, Get A Room” because of the numerous times friends have said that to me and my husband over the last 39 years – many while sticking their finger down their throat. Ha! I’ve decided that we…

    What Story Will You Tell?

    My husband Bobby recently reconnected with his childhood friend Kevin on social media. He read me a post written by Kevin about how he’s managing quarantine. Bobby knew I would be intrigued by it because I’m endlessly interested in relationships and how we navigate our way through them. That’s a fancy way perhaps of saying that I’m nosy about people’s personal business. In my defense, I do share some pretty personal business of my own in this blog so you get equal opportunity. I’ve been thinking a lot about this extraordinary situation we’re in and how we’ll tell the stories of it to our kids and their kids. We are…
