Don't Ignore Doubts About Marriage | Psych Central News

By Janice Wood Associate News Editor
Reviewed by John M. Grohol, Psy.D. on November 3, 2012

Couples about to tie the knot shouldn?t ignore nagging doubts about getting married, warns a University of Alberta researcher.

?If you are having doubts about the relationship, just ignoring them may make a difference years down the road,? said Matthew Johnson, Ph.D. who co-authored the study while at Kansas State University. He is now an assistant professor in the University of Alberta Department of Human Ecology.

The new research found that couples who were more confident as they exchanged vows spent more time together 18 months into the marriage, and were still happy at the three-year mark.

The study used existing research data to weigh the marital confidence of 610 newlywed couples over a period of four years.

?These couples were spending time together, dining out, taking part in activities together, sharing meaningful conversation and physical expressions of affection,? Johnson said.

?Those who are more confident in getting married are willing to invest in their relationships.?

Dealing with relationship issues up front is essential, according to the researcher.

?It is tempting to push those concerns down and just go with the flow, but couples need to remember the doubts you are having are there for a reason and dealing with them will be beneficial,? he said.

He suggests premarital counseling, which is a good opportunity for couples to talk openly and honestly about their concerns and their confidence in being able to meet future challenges.

The study was published in the journal Family Process.

Modest crowds greet iPad mini's release

Friday's release brought out smaller crowds when compared to previous Apple product roll-outs

The iPad mini is a slimmed-down version of Apple's popular tablet, so in a way, it's fitting that Friday's release brought out smaller crowds when compared to previous Apple product roll-outs.

Crowds showed up at Apple Stores around the country for the iPad mini, but not in the numbers they had for other recent iPad and iPhone launches. Blame it on product fatigue - the iPad mini and the fourth-generation iPad arrived on retail shelves a little less than eight months after the last big iPad release. Or, if you're on the east coast, blame it on Hurricane Sandy, which hit the northeast hard earlier this week. With millions still without power, particularly in New Jersey and New York, lining up to purchase a new iPad wasn't high on a lot of people's priority lists. (Indeed, two Apple Stores in Lower Manhattan remained closed Friday as a result of Sandy.)

In Philadelphia, for example, there was nowhere near the hundreds-deep line that greeted previous iPad launches at the Walnut Street Apple Store. Instead, about two dozen people huddled near the store's entrance an hour before opening, with half of those there early to buy iPhones. The overall line grew slightly as the 8 a.m. opening drew closer. In another sign of the muted launch, Apple Store employees skipped traditional festivities like running down the long line of customers and offering high fives.

Still, the customers who did show up in Philadelphia were enthusiastic about the latest iPads. Jennifer Bornstein, who works at a Philadelphia museum, was in line to upgrade from her first-generation iPad to a new mini. The original iPad "was too big for me, too heavy," she said. "I've waited for this for many years."

Drexel University student Scott Wertz was also in line, looking to buy a mini; it would be his first individual iPad purchase, though his family had owned other versions of Apple's tablet. He lauded "the convenience factor of being able to use it in one hand and being able to maybe slip it in your jacket pocket, rather than using it like a laptop. Not needing a bag, but putting it in my pocket, is a huge draw for me."

Marcello Picchi was taking advantage of a visit to Philadelphia from his native Brazil to buy "as many iPad minis as I can buy. It's just a gift for everyone in my family, an early Christmas gift." The iPad mini went on sale in 34 countries - but not Brazil - on Friday.

PC World NZ received the device on Friday.

Across the country in San Francisco, around 50 people were in line at the Stockton Street store - nothing close to the crowds that greeted the iPhone 5 a little more than a month ago. By 8:30 am, most of the line had completed its purchases; you could walk in off the street and buy an iPad mini if you wanted without a wait.

Still, those who showed up to get their hands on a mini were excited by how light and easy to handle the smaller iPad was. "It feels so light, I expect to use it all the time," said Richard Shih, a canny iPad mini shopper who arrived half-an-hour after the San Francisco store opened and picked up his new tablet without having to wait in line.

Igor Asner showed up an hour before the Stockton Street store opened its doors. "It's my first iPad and I'm already falling in love with it," Asner said. "I've heard mixed reviews about the screen but it looks crisp to me at reading distance."

Mike Keevers showed up at the San Francisco store just to check out the new iPads. Like many on Friday, he liked the look of the black one. "Since it's so much bigger [than the iPhone], you'd think it would have a better camera than the iPhone, though," he added.

Millions still without power in NY, NJ after Sandy

(Reuters) - New York power company Consolidated Edison Inc said on Friday about 570,000 homes and businesses in New York City and Westchester County were still without power four days after the major storm Sandy blasted across the U.S. East Coast.

On Thursday, Con Edison said it expected to restore power in lower and mid-Manhattan by Saturday, November 3.

The company, however, said that more than 100 buildings in Manhattan which have had their power restored were still without electricity due to basement flooding or damage to local equipment.

The hurricane is the worst natural disaster to strike Con Edison's territory, affecting about 890,000 of the company's over 3 million customers.

To date, Con Edison's crews have restored electricity to more than 320,000 customers since the storm's departure.

As of 5 a.m. EDT (0900 GMT) Friday, Con Edison said about 226,000 customers were out in Manhattan, 84,000 in Queens, 35,000 in Brooklyn, 54,000 in Staten Island, 31,000 in the Bronx and 140,000 in Westchester.

The company said its workers and contractors - some from as far away as California - still face thousands of wires down in New York City and Westchester County, where more than 500 roads are closed.

Redheads may have more fun, but are more prone to cancer

Researchers have shown that it?s genes, and not the Sun which increases the risk of melanoma in redheads.

?

Doctors previously believed that their pale skin, often covered with freckles just didn?t provide as much protection towards UV?s, but new research showed that genetic factors of the skin pigment are the real culprits here.

?We?ve known for a long time that people with red hair and fair skin have the highest melanoma risk of any skin type,? study author Dr. David Fisher, chief of dermatology at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, said in a written statement. The new findings ?may provide an opportunity to develop better sunscreens and other measures that directly address this pigmentation-associated risk while continuing to protect against UV radiation, which remains our first line of defense against melanoma and other skin cancers,? he said.

Melanoma is the most dangerous type of cancer, with more than 76,000 cases expected to be diagnosed this year. The thing is different human skin types contain different types of melanin, which give different types of skin color, each with its own susceptibility towards skin cancer. According to the researchers, skin type alone can?t explain the rise in melanoma risk among redheads, because the increased incidence also occurs in patients who haven?t been exposed to the Sun.

Now, researchers explain, we can understand that, while blocking UVs is indeed extremely important, it is by no mean the only one.

?Right now we?re excited to have a new clue to help better understand this mystery behind melanoma, which we have always hoped could be a preventable disease,? Fisher said. ?The risk for people with this skin type has not changed, but now we know that blocking UV radiation ? which continues to be essential ? may not be enough.?
