Contrary to popular belief, men are simple creatures. It doesn’t take much to make us happy. All you have to do is find out what your man likes and then take an interest. That’s honestly all it takes. Spend quality time together doing things you both appreciate and your relationship will flourish. Here are some ways to make that happen:
Enjoy each other’s company.
Laugh, smile, and be silly and lighthearted. It may sound impossible, but it’s necessary to eliminate stress. Do this by sharing inside jokes and special moments. A good relationship will bring out the best in both of you, and you should look forward to being together. Most guys are low-maintenance, and we want our downtime to be carefree.

Mother Nature can be unpredictable in the fall so dress in layers. Whether you’re going apple picking or beer tasting, stand-out from the crowd in a pair of colored, skinny jeans or cords and boots. Pair that with a long-sleeved tee or sweater (depending on the weather) and a fabulous faux fur vest. Add a cross-body satchel and don’t forget your wayfarers for a day outdoors!
Wayfarer Sunglasses | Faux Fur Vest | Jeans | Sweater | Bag | Riding Boots
Pull Over | Boots | Cord Pant | Wayfarer Sunglasses | Button Down
Men, stay comfy and warm in casual corduroy pants, a casual button-down shirt and half-zip sweater. Keep your feet toasty in a pair of chukkas or casual boots, and protect your eyes from the fall sunshine with a pair of retro wayfarers. And gentlemen, take advantage of the cold: If your date is looking a little chilly, put your arm around her and warm her up for a bit, they’ll appreciate the gesture.

The public hasn’t heard much from Kris Humphries since Kim Kardashian filed for divorce, but his plan to annul their marriage could change that, reported Hollyscoop.com. The annulment would dismiss their pre-nup, which includes a strict confidentiality clause that forbids either party from discussing intimate details of their relationship to the media. No pre-nup would mean no rules to follow, and Humphries could finally speak out. “Kris wants to be able to talk about the relationship without fear of being sued,” a source close to Humphries told RadarOnline.com. He filed the annulment under claims that the marriage was a “fraud.” He believes Kardashian deceived him as a tactic to benefit her success as a reality TV star.

Reese Witherspoon is my favorite actress. Not only is she a beautiful woman and a classy mom, but she also starred in Legally Blonde, a girl-power movie that I watched every day (I kid you not!) for the first three months after my divorce. I cried when Warner dumped Elle and cried again when Elle emerged triumphant at Harvard. I kept thinking, “If Elle Woods can do it, so can I.” So this year, I am cheering for Reese. She has moved on from what she called a “humiliating” and “isolating” divorce (Elle Magazine, April 2009) and has found happiness with Jim Toth and a peaceable relationship with her ex, Ryan Phillippe.
While it sounds like Reese has got it all together, she may have a little bit of anxiety as she and Jim manage their special occasions together for the first time. As a divorced and remarried mother of five children, I know what it’s like to try to manage innumerable family get-togethers over the holidays. There are too many schedules, too many conflicts, and (let’s face it) too many cookies. So, for what it’s worth, here are my suggestions for surviving the holidays with a newly blended family:

By now you’ve heard that another Bachelorette and her fiancé have called it quits. That couple, of course, is Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez. Although Fedotowsky was seemingly ready to wed right after the show aired, after an 18-month engagement and three postponements, it all finally ended on November 21. The former bride-to-be had this to say to People: “I wouldn’t be being truthful if I said this came out of nowhere, we definitely had been having problems. But I had always believed that we could work it out.” The duo tried to make the relationship last, even throughout their arguments. “We both realized we were unhappy more than we were happy, and we both deserved more.”

Why are nice girls attracted to bad boys? Because opposites attract — duh! For decades, we’ve been throwing around this cliché without really investigating why it may be true. I mean, at one time or another, haven’t we all been drawn to those who are so different from us that we’d be hard pressed to actually find a similarity?
For instance, your idea of having fun is to hit the bar scene and meet new people, while he wants to sit at home and watch sports. You’re super bashful at a dinner party, and he’s the life of the party. You were always a straight “A” student with no “naughty” record, while he struggled to pass in school and spent the majority of his time in the principal’s office. Despite those glaring differences, the thing is, sometimes being in a relationship with an opposite personality works.
So, let’s find out why those who have very little in common find each other irresistible. Here are five solid reasons:

Kris Humphries is finally taking action. Ex-wife Kim Kardashian filed for divorce on October 31st, but Humphries wishes to bypass divorce proceedings by getting the marriage annulled, reports UsMagazine.com. Humphries is crediting “fraud” as the reason behind the couple’s split, but only because the other options were unfitting. “The whole ‘fraud’ thing is ridiculous. If the marriage was a sham, he was in on it,” said a source. “Did he not see the cameras or get a cut of whatever money was made? The marriage was real. It was just a terrible and unhappy one.”

Keeping up with the Kardashians just got a little more interesting as Kourtney recently announced that she and her boyfriend of five years, Scott Disick, are expecting their second child. Kardashian took a pregnancy test about five weeks ago and didn’t hesitate to wake Disick with the positive results. “Now I’m nine weeks along,” she told UsMagazine. “You’re supposed to wait 12 weeks to tell people, but I feel confident.” The couples first son, Mason, almost 2 now, came as a surprise, but this pregnancy had more planning involved. “It wasn’t like we weren’t trying,” Disick said. “We kind of just said, ‘If it’s meant to be, it’ll be.'”

It looks like the drama hasn’t ended now that a divorce is imminent. Despite a calm public statement, Demi Moore has been sending out seemingly cryptic tweets, under her handle which still reads’@mrskutcher. According to Hollyscoop, her ex Ashton Kutcher has been sending “passive agressive jabs” at Moore in retaliation perhaps. Even though they’ve split, the ex duo have still been going to counseling. They have even been seen leaving a Kabbalah house together, despite arriving separately. According to sources, Demi Moore has been on a “positive swing” despite the negative backlash that can often result from a divorce.

I finally caught Kim Kardashian’s wedding special while I was home sick one day, and now there are two hours of my life I wish I could get back. Three days later, when news of her impending divorce broke, I wasn’t surprised at all. I mean, anyone who tuned in to her wedding special could tell that the couple barely liked each other. I was originally ready for Kim to go away, but Lord knows I love a great reality show train wreck. So, I couldn’t look away.
While Ms. Kardashian and I couldn’t be more different, we also have a few things in common. We’re the same age, in love with being in love and have a particular affinity for high heels and hair extensions. I then came to the conclusion that Kim Kardashian could teach me a thing or two about marriage:
