Sweet Dreams

We've all experienced bizarre dreams in which people we know look like someone else or we get freaky with an unappealing co-worker. But are those subconscious thoughts that zap through our brains at night really relevant in our waking hours?

Yes, according to Gillian Holloway, an internationally recognized dream expert with over 20 years of experience interpreting dreams under her belt.

In her book "The Complete Dream Book of Love and Relationships: Discover What Your Dreams and Intuition Reveal About You and Your Love Life," Holloway uses her analysis of over 30,000 actual dreams to get to the bottom of what our dreams say about our romantic relationships.

The Science of Relationships

The secret to a good marriage might simply be to love the one you're with. And there are even loads of science to back that up.

In her new book, "For Better: the Science of a Good Marriage," author and health journalist Tara Parker-Pope applies rigorous research to the big things in a relationship -- sex, money, kids, fighting -- and more interestingly to the(seemingly) small things -- housework, snoring, eye rolling, even the way couples retell the story of how they met.

Turns out marriage isn't quite what most of us probably think it is: Wed couples are actually having more sex than anyone, conflict can be a good thing and more than 50 percent of us are staying married.

More Fun, More Sex

"Ultimately, fun is the best aphrodisiac," says Paul Joannides, author of The Guide to Getting It On! "Quit looking for sexy and look for fun instead—and you'll end up having more sex."

Who doesn't love fun? And if it leads to a little something more, all the better! Here are some ideas for activities to get the fun started...

Survey Says...

Does a relationship have a better chance of working if the woman is more attractive than the man? A recent study suggests it does.

In an attempt to determine whether good-looking spouses aremore supportive and happier, a team of psychologists studied 82 newlywed couples.

Their research findings:

- Men who were more attractive than their spouses were less supportive than men who were equally matched or less attractive.
- Men who were more attractive were less happy than others.
- Men and women tended to be more positive and happier when wives were more attractive than their husbands.

The researchers suggest that human evolution might help explain the effect of men's attractiveness on a marriage.

- Attractive men are more likely to attract women, which could make them less satisfied and less committed.
- Attractive women might not mind being better-looking because attractiveness might be less important long-term.
