Techie Cupid

Peter Fraenkel, Ph.D., has one piece of advice for couples: "Don't try to schedule time together. Schedules are more work. And you don't need any more work." Instead, Fraenkel, the director of the Center for Time, Work, and the Family at the Ackerman Institute for the Family, in New York City, tells couples to come up with a list of things they can enjoy together that can be done in less than a minute: telling a joke, one long kiss, etc. A techie gadget like a blackberry or a cellphone is one of the best ways to do these 60-second pleasure points. Talk about cupid getting all hi-tech.
