How Talking To a Psychic Could Improve Your Marriage During the Pandemic

October 5, 2020 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

Every couple knows that marriage isn’t all romantic dinners and spontaneous adventures. It takes work to stay connected to one another. And once kids are added to the mix, stress levels tend to go up for both parents.

With luck, your relationship will be strong enough that you can work through any problems on your own. But if you’re feeling overwhelmed, getting some help and advice from someone else could work wonders.

For some people, that might just mean reaching out to a friend. Others might seek professional help with couples’ counselling. And for others, talking to a psychic or fortune teller may just provide the perfect unbiased advice.

If you cannot find a psychic living nearby, consulting an online fortune teller really works too. [Read more…]

February 25, 2020 by Kathryn 4 Comments

Celebrating an anniversary is always special. And in the early years of a marriage, it’s often also a romantic event that couples can enjoy together doing all kinds of things. But once kids enter the picture…well, everything changes!

Of course, some people choose to continue ensuring their anniversary is a time for a one-on-one celebration with their partner. And if that’s you, great! But other couples might want to include the kids in the celebration as well, either to save on childcare costs or to simply let their little ones enjoy some extra fun.

If you’re considering planning an anniversary celebration that the whole family can join in, consider these fun and easy anniversary ideas that will let you enjoy your partner and also include your kids! [Read more…]

5 Tips for Recovering Your Romantic Energy After Having a Baby

November 14, 2019 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

When it comes to getting frisky, there hasn’t been much that can take the wind out of my sails. I’m a high-energy person and that carries over into every area of my life…including the bedroom!

But after the birth of my youngest son, I found my natural energy flagging for the first time in my life. Baby Cormac is an exceptionally high-energy individual himself; even before he could sit, stand or walk he would spend solid minutes just waving his arms and kicking his feet as hard as he could.

I felt as if my baby was draining my energy from me, and the last thing I wanted to do at the end of an exhausting day was get frisky with my husband. But I knew I needed to get my libido back. And luckily, I found some tricks that helped me do that!

It’s not always easy for an exhausted mom to get back into that pre-pregnancy groove of enjoying regular loving. And if you’re struggling at the same point in your life, these are the five tips that helped me!

Lawyer Jeremy Diamond Talks Balance, Work and Family with His Wife, Sandra Zisckind

November 29, 2018 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

It was a mere 6 years ago when Jeremy Diamond and his wife, Sandra Zisckind, started an ambitious mission to change the world of personal injury law. Since then, Diamond and Diamond has transformed into Canada’s fastest growing personal injury firm, including partnerships with The Toronto Maple Leafs, Raptors, and Calgary Flames.

Just last year, Diamond and Diamond made the transition to a full service firm, extending offerings to wills, real estate, employment, immigration and more.

As a busy parent that believes in the importance of work life balance, I interviewed Jeremy Diamond and Sandra Zisckind, to get a better understanding of how they juggle the demands of marriage and children.

Q: What are the challenges you face as a working parent in today’s busy culture?

Sandra Zisckind: The biggest challenge we face is time management. There are only so many hours in a day. We want to be able to grow our business, while also attending to the needs of our injured clients. Work takes up a lot of my time, but if I wasn’t there for my children as much as I could be it would really start to affect me. So I decided the jobs that don’t require all my attention can be outsourced in some way. You have to relinquish some control.

Jeremy Diamond: I try to prioritize and schedule things around my kids’ schedules, whether that is hobbies like sports or other social commitments. The kids need to feel like they’re #1 and that they’re not being passed over for work. We try to have at least one parent there for all major events, and Sandra and I do our best to split that evenly.

Q: How do you instill the importance of hard work in your kids, while also stressing the importance of a work/life balance?

Jeremy Diamond: Our kids are smart. They know that the lifestyle we have created did not materialize out of nowhere. I think it is important to allow your kids to see you stressed sometimes. It shows the importance of sacrifice. From that, they learn that success comes from long hours and fortitude, while also understanding the importance of work life balance.

Sandra Zisckind: My little one often gets sad when we have to go away on business trips. Sometimes in the morning she asks me if I’m going to work on a plane or a car. We work hard to make sure our kids know we’re there for them. The other day there was a moment of validation when my little one said, “Mommy, when I grow up I want to go to work and be a lawyer just like you.”

Q: What was it like going from being a married couple to working together day to day?

Sandra Zisckind: Actually, that part was easy because we are able to separate the two. We’ve always been quite good at compartmentalizing things that way. We know we have each other’s backs no matter what. The hard part is turning it off. I’ve learned that when you find yourself in an argument with your spouse, it’s best to turn around, compose yourself with a deep breath and then come back to the topic at hand. You never want to say things you regret, especially if children are around.

Jeremy Diamond: We make rules around turning off. We used to say that when we were home we wouldn’t talk business but that’s simply not feasible. Being an entrepreneur is a 24-hour endeavour. But even with all the ups and downs, we are closer than ever. A lot of marriages can weaken with time and we haven’t experienced that, which is nice to know.

While living together, working together and raising their children can be a challenge at times, having clear boundaries and set priorities clearly helps the couple maintain their relationship and balance the joys and stresses of their busy lifestyle.

Spice Up Your Relationship with 3 Easy Tips this Valentine’s Day

February 13, 2017 by Kathryn 93 Comments

It’s a known fact that almost every relationship starts to lose some of its initial passion and romance as time goes on and years go by. While the comfort and security that takes the place of that passion is a great thing, it’s always nice to spice things up and bring some heat back to a relationship once again…especially around Valentine’s Day! That’s why Trojan has three tips for heating up things in the bedroom during your next rendezvous, along with a sizzling giveaway you won’t want to miss!

  1. Dirty talk, clean space. There’s nothing like hotel or vacation sex. Having sex in a new environment can help us feel more spontaneous or adventuresome. But time and money for a holiday aren’t always available. Recreate vacation sex by making your bedroom your sexual sanctuary. Remove clutter, invest in good sheets and set the mood. Research suggests women, in particular, have a hard time getting aroused in a dirty and messy place. If you want to make the night extra memorable, introduce a vibrator for her like the Trojan™ Power Wand Vibrations Massager. Let the talk be dirty, and the room be clean – your sex life will thank you.
