How to Be a Better Father In 10 Steps

I have found the fundamental laws of fatherhood.

Skeptics said it couldn’t be done. Fatherhood is too complicated, they cried, to be reduced to capsule form. But the complexity only added intrigue to my search for guiding principles.

After all the emotion, all the yelling, all the laughter, I have distilled the duties and demands down to a decade of Daddy dicta.

Herewith, on behalf of all God’s children and the men who love them, the Ten Commandments of Dad.

The Meal Your Dad Really Wants This Father’s Day

Instead of joining the rest of the maddening restaurant crowds this Father’s Day, cook for Dad at home.

But don’t do the burgers and dogs he’s had at every summer cookout since before you were born. Surprise him with a massive cut of meat: prime rib.

This recipe involves a simple rub, a straightforward cooking technique, and a few lazy hours. Present the prime rib at the table, hand Dad the carving knife, and then sit back to reap his praises.

Happy Couples Are Having This Much Sex. How Do You Stack Up?

You don’t have to get busy in the bedroom every night to keep a smile on your face—or hers. Couples who have sex more than once a week aren’t any happier that those who do the deed weekly, suggests new Canadian research.

In the study, people in relationships who had sex once a week reported greater overall happiness—and greater satisfaction with their partners—than those who had sex less often.

But those who had sex more often than that didn’t receive any additional boosts of wellbeing.

6 Kama Sutra Sex Techniques That Make Missionary Even Hotter

There’s only one problem with missionary sex: The vast majority of men thrust in the same conventional, in-and-out way.

Same speed, same depth, same hip motion, same everything. In other words, yawn and repeat.

What these guys don’t know is that there are much more exciting ways to insert your penis. Ways that will create new, pleasurable sensations for both you and your partner.

Take these six ideas from the Kama Sutra, for example. It may be an ancient Hindu text—which explains the strange names like “boar’s blow”—but these techniques certainly hold up in 2016.

Why It’s Normal For Happily Married Men to Fantasize About Divorcing Their Wives

It pops up from time to time: The thought of divorcing your wife even though you’re happy with her.

So if you’re still satisfied with your wife, why do you fantasize about untying the knot?

It’s a normal reaction, and often times occurs because something other than the relationship is causing strain, like your job or financial situation, says Jared DeFife, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and relationship therapist in Atlanta.

Why Drinking a Little Booze Each Day May Be Killing You

There will be no broken coffee tables in this story. No blackouts, shots of Jager, thumping hangovers, or epic tales of tossing park benches into duck ponds. I’m not the guy who makes a scene or curls up asleep on a dog bed. This story is not about a booze blowout; it’s about a slow leak that could have left me empty and alone.

There’s a decent chance that you drink like I do. I enjoy a cold IPA when I get home from work; maybe a glass of pinot with a plate of pasta later. I drink liquor only a few times a year; I can’t think of more than 10 times, all big nights out, in the past few years when I might have thrown down five or more drinks in two hours, which is how the CDC defines binge drinking.

Marital spats can be a literal pain, according to new research from Northwestern University.

In a study that spanned two decades, researchers had married couples come into a lab every five years to rehash their common disagreements in front of a camera.
