It's the leading deal-breaker in marriages, according to a recent survey of over 100 family and divorce lawyers. Not to mention Brad Pitt. Married for 23 years, journalist Iris Krasnow has a personal antidote to the long-term marital rut that creeps into relationships over time: separate summer vacations.
Once a year for about a decade, she's spent a portion of her summer away from her husband. When her four sons were young, she'd work as a counselor at their camp in the Adirondacks while her husband, an architect and furniture maker, focused on his own projects back at their Annapolis, Maryland home. "I love nature so I just thrived up there and he'd get so much work done back home," says Krasnow, an associate professor of communication at American University.

I really loved the look of these wine bottle candleholders, and I wanted to do something similar for our centerpieces, but these are very expensive to buy: Source So, I decided to find out how to cut the bottles myself.
My family, FI’s family, and our friends are all wine drinkers, so they’ve been very helpfully collecting the bottles for us.

Once they are all clean, it’s time to cut. You definitely have to get a good score on the bottle – no breaks in the score line, and as straight around as you can get it, but it does not have to be deep at all. After cutting, we sand the bottom edge to make sure it’s not too rough or sharp. *One other important note! How birth order affects your love life.
