CDC: 1 in 9 sexually active women have used the pill of the "day after"
More and more women were using emergency contraception pills, according to a report released yesterday by the u.s. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2006 until 2010, 11 per cent of sexually active women aged between 15 and 44 had used emergency contraception, the report says, up from only 4.2 percent in 2002 and less than 1 per cent in 1995. Young women were more likely to use the pills "next day". Almost 1/4 of sexually active women between 20 and 24 had used emergency contraception. Through all ages, about 50 percent of women said they used contraception because they have had unprotected sex. Beth Jordan Mynett, Medical Director of Washington, D.C.-based reproductive health professionals Association, USA Today said that these pills for emergency contraception should not be confused with "abortion pills". "Emergency contraception does not cause an abortion. Take emergency contraception pills to prevent largely ovulation from happening. This is the prevention of pregnancy, "he says.
How to claim (or recover) the love of your life
Fifteen years ago, counselors especially couples Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt found themselves on the brink of divorce. At the height of his career, thanks in part to appearances on Oprah, were "the most well-known couple around the couple's therapy worldwide — and it was probably one of the worst marriages," says Hendrix, the bestselling author of getting the love you want and keeping the love you find.
However, what happened next, saved their marriage and can teach the rest of us a lot about how to maintain our strong and reliable partnerships.
Somehow, Hendrix and Hunt knew too much about relationships.
"I thought my role in partner and only by Harville should help remind you of good advice and keep stressing ways that he could do things better than what he was doing," she says, laughing to his generous handouts of unsolicited advice. "I wasn't going to charge him."
Idea of trying to help was actually damaging the relationship, fueling the negativity that suffused their interactions. [Read more: how to claim (or recover) the love of your life]
Set an example when you set the table
If it is for a birthday, a party, or just for no reason at all, we shower our children with gifts for a lifetime, says U.s. News blogger Bonnie Taub-Dix. As our children grow up, their cabinets and sideboards see many articles of clothing come and go, but how many of those items will remain indelibly imprinted in their minds? When you make the memories, is usually not the tangible assets that get remembered and re-emerge on a daily basis; is life lessons that really penetrate.
The other day, my middle son was about to embark on her first business trip. Just before leaving for the airport, asked, "could you teach me how to iron?" This question hit me like a ton of bricks. All I could think was: "my father was a tailor ... like I could have never taught my children how to sew, iron — or for that matter?" I proceeded to pull out Ironing Board iron that was neatly tucked away in the closet and quickly enrolled 101 draft. And it was after his plane took off I thought about one of the most important lessons I have taught my children: I showed them how to have a wonderful and healthy relationship with food.
As parents, whether we like it or not, we are teaching lessons every day. Our children observe our moves, our decisions and our habits, even if there are no words on these actions are never spoken. [Read more: set an example when you set the table]
