Yasmin's getting married!
Is it just me or is everyone looking forward to Yasmin’s getting married on channel ten tonight?
I know it’s ridiculous, I know there is something desperate and horrible about shoving some poor lonely girl in front of 3000 blokes and expecting her (with the help of a live panel) to marry one of them…
But the tragic romantic in me hopes it works. I really want to like Yasmin and I want her to find a lovely bloke…
Of course if she does my Mum’s mags are going to spend the next ten years salivating over the happy couple’s every move, before you know it they’ll have them split, unfaithful, unhappy, pregnant, re-united and in counselling long before they even think about any of that.
So Yasmin has my sympathy, but she’s a willing participant… and I just can’t wait to see how she goes…
Having said that, the courier mail has listed the top six ingredients for a happy relationship according to QUT psychology and counselling lecturer Zoe Pearce:
1. Effective communication skills – being able to talk to your partner when you have a problem.
2. A shared sense of ownership of the relationship, it’s future direction and expectations.
3. A deep sense of trust.
4. An ability to experience intimacy – and not just in the sack!!!
5. A desire to experience new and novel things together – research shows it improves relationship satisfaction
6. Physical attraction is very important at the start but tends to disappear over time. It may be what draws you initially but it won’t keep you attracted …
So there you go…good luck Yasmin…see you in New Idea.

that is a rather foolish statement.
