If you’re looking for an incredibly unique and romantic date idea, head out tonight to view the Leonid meteor shower. While last night, November 17th, was considered the peak viewing time, the showers should still be viewable tonight if you’re patient.

The Leonid meteor shower results from debris left behind by the comet Tempel-Tuttle, which orbits the sun every 33 years. The Earth passes through this debris in the opposite direction every November, which produces a spectacular show of meteors in hues of white. blue, aquamarine, and green, with the occasional possible fire burst. What is truly amazing is that the Earth is passing through debris laid down by the comet in the year 1466!

For a preview of what you can see, check out this Space.com video of the Leonids meteor shower from a previous year:

Be sure to take a warm blanket or sleeping bag to cuddle up in!

Looking for Mr. Right rather than Mr. Right Now? Well, First Lady Michelle Obama offered some great advice to women in relationships:

“Cute’s good. But cute only lasts for so long, and then it’s, Who are you as a person? That’s the advice I would give to women: Don’t look at the bankbook or the title. Look at the heart. Look at the soul. Look at how the guy treats his mother and what he says about women. How he acts with children he doesn’t know. And, more important, how does he treat you? When you’re dating a man, you should always feel good. You should never feel less than. You should never doubt yourself. You shouldn’t be in a relationship with somebody who doesn’t make you completely happy and make you feel whole. And if you’re in that relationship and you’re dating, then my advice is, don’t get married.”

— Michelle Obama in Glamour Magazine

Whether you like the Duggars, their reality show, and their 18 (soon to be 19 + 1 grandchild) children, they have somehow made it all work despite a lot of cards being stacked against them in today’s world.

In a recent interview with People Magazine, Jim Bob shared his tips for a healthy, happy relationship with your spouse while raising kids.

1. Make time for each other.

“We have a weekly date, even if it is just to take a walk in the park,” says Jim Bob. “We will go out to lunch or dinner and talk together about the kids, upcoming events, what we have coming up.”

Life gets busy, especially when you have children. Despite your jobs, housework, bills, your children’s busy schedules, and so on, it’s immensely important to take time out for one each and every week to just reconnect. Like Jim Bob, a simple walk around your neighborhood or a local park can suffice. Even better, have a dinner together (just the two of you) each week. You don’t have to go out either. Feed the kids first, put them to bed, then sit down for a dinner together. I know it’s easier said than done, but start penciling it into your schedule if that’s what it takes. A happier and more loving relationship is worth it.

2. Forgive one another.

“We asked an Amish couple we met who had been married 50 years what the most important thing to know about marriage was,” says Jim Bob. “And, they told us, the most important thing to say is, ‘I was wrong and will you please forgive me.’ Each one of us tries to humble ourselves before the other and be willing to admit mistakes.”

This is probably one of the hardest things to do, at least I know it is for me. If my husband and I get into an argument, the last thing I want to do is admit that I’m wrong and ask for forgiveness. In fact, it’s a common reaction for many people to put the blame on their partner, even when they are the one to blame. The next time you find yourself in an argument, step back for a moment and ask yourself what you’re really fighting about and if it is really worth it. Fighting chips away at your marriage bit by bit over time, so admitting your were wrong, asking for forgiveness, and forgiving your partner goes a long way towards a truly loving partnership.

3. Look for the good in one another.

When speaking of arguments, Jim Bob mentions that he and Michelle avoid critical assessments of one another and instead look for the good. “It is easy to think of the things that are bothering you more often than the things that are wonderful,” Jim Bob says. “It’s important to remember those things about your spouse and think about those things. A great rule of thumb is to say 10 nice things to every one critical thing.”

This, again, may be difficult to do amidst the daily stress of life. When you find yourself about to criticize your spouse, stop and reflect for a moment. As Jim Bob said, it’s easy to find the negative in your spouse and in your relationship, but are criticisms healthy? While you’re likely going to be critical of your spouse at some point, start remind yourself to focus on the good as well. Compliment your spouse often and remember to tell them that you love them and appreciate them. This may sound trivial, but it’s easy to forget. And as Jim Bob suggests, say 10 nice things to your spouse for every one critical comment.

These three little things are so simple, yet so many of us in marriages can’t seem to get them right. If you and your spouse are having problems, try taking Jim Bob’s advice.

We’ve heard about romantic, yet outrageous proposals over the years, but this one ranks near the top for sure!

I’m not sure how he arranged the entire proposal as I’ve heard it’s difficult to get characters involved. Perhaps he works for Disney? If you’re interested in a more elaborate Disney proposal, I would suggest contacting Disney’s Fairy Tale Engagements at (407) 824-5130 or if you’re interested in a Cinderella’s Castle engagement package, you can call (407) 824-4477. Additionally, you can check out the Disney Weddings.

I guess it just goes to show that dreams really can come true at Disney!

So, what do you think? Incredibly romantic or way over the top?

Have you ever been on a date, about to get intimate, then find yourself doing a quick breath check in the palm of your hand?

A new pocket-sized breath test could be the answer!

Reasearchers at Tel Aviv University have come up with the perfect solution – a pocket-sized breath test that turns blue if you need to brush or stays clear if you’re ok to smooch. The test itself checks to see if malodorous bacteria are brewing your mouth, which are believe to be responsible for bad breath.

The new test, branded as the OkayToKiss kit, is small (about the size of a pack of gum) and easy to use. You simply pull it out of your pocket or purse, dab a little bit of saliva onto the small window, and results appear instantly.

While the new test sounds appealing, I have to wonder how popular it will be. It’s so easy to just pop a breath mint any time you’re about to move in, even though breath mints just disguise the odor most of times rather than actually eliminating it. The biggest downside I see to the OkayToKiss test? It’s a little inconveient to pause “in the moment” to test your breath. You could test before you get to that stage, but then you’d have to carry a toothbrush as well. Still, if you’re going to get hot-n-heavy, this test is a lot more reliable than popping a mint.

So, the next time you’re hoping to lean in for a smooch, pull out your trusting breath test first! Oh, and a little chapstick never either!
