A sexually unfulfilling relationship is a quiet, insidious poison. But it starts subtly. The tiny blips on the radar that signal our partnership is veering toward bitterness or divorce often don’t trigger the alarm until it’s too late. There’s a little voice in the back of our heads that says, “Something’s not right here.” But we often quiet that voice with the response, “But I guess it’s not too bad.” When couples come to me on the verge of divorce, one person in the pair is often blindsided—having had no idea how bad things had gotten—whereas the other partner has known and been trying to tell their partner for years....

Then, in the early 1900s, the National Association of Jewelers made the 12 birthstones official. Today, they’re most often gifted on birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, and more. And, fun fact—they’re actually the official 60th-anniversary gift, which is as high as the official list goes—indicating their lasting strength. “Aries and Taurus (the zodiac signs of April) often already have a beautifully developed sense of self and willpower, but they can also be famously stubborn,” Van Doren notes....

Think of it as your secret weapon for thickening up sauces and fillings, adding a crisp finish to meats and veggies, and lightening up gluten- or grain-free baked goods that might otherwise be too heavy or dense....
