Would You Invite Your Ex To Your Wedding?
Meghan Markle & Prince Harry are getting married and sources report that some of their exes are on the Royal guest list. The Twitterverse, news outlets, and gossip columnists have expressed their disapproval and Jess sat down with Jeff to respond to the critics on The Morning Show.
1. A number of etiquette experts have admonished the Royal couple insisting that marriage represents new love, which leaves to space for old loves. Do you agree?
Nope. Love is not finite. You can love your life partner in an intimate way and love friends and family in similar or different ways. Just as you can love multiple children or parents without the deepening love for one diminishing the love for another, you can still care about an ex AND be completely committed and loving toward your partner. If the two people getting married are comfortable inviting someone, their families, friends etc., etiquette experts should respect their wishes.
2. Why might you want to invite an ex to your wedding?

Here are a few tips for successful online dating:
1. Creep your “competition”. Although fellow daters aren’t technically your competition, reading through profiles of similar daters (e.g. people of the same gender, age, and region) will inspire you to craft a more effective profile. Questions to ask yourself: What do these profiles have in common? Do I want to avoid repetitive content (e.g. cliches)? What makes a profile stand out? How can I differentiate my profile?
2. Use your Twitter or Snap feed to populate your profile. It’s an accurate picture of your recent interests and activities. Share a few of your top tweets (without revealing your handle).
3. Ask your friends ...

Can Your Personality Shift After Marriage?
A new study suggests that our personalities change after marriage. Jess dissects the study findings and makes recommendations based on the data on Global TV’s The Morning Show with Jeff McArthur.
1. How can we measure whether or not personality changes within marriage?
Generally, researchers look at the big 5 personality traits (OCEAN):
- Openness. Are you open to change, growth and new experiences?
- Conscientiousness. Are you reliable and do you take the steps necessary (e.g planning and organizing) to ensure that you follow through on your word?
- Extraversion. Are you highly social and do you derive benefits from interacting with others? (Introverts tend to derive energy and satisfaction from within.)
- Agreeableness. Do you get along well with others and are you empathetic, understanding, kind and flexible?
- Neuroticism. Are you emotionally stable and to what degree do you experience positive and negative emotions? We all experience both positive and negative emotions, but...
Has Your Partner Developed A Wandering Eye?
If you've noticed your partner is looking a certain way at people, a way that you might be uncomfortable with, how would you handle the situation? As a 'wandering eye' can vary on different levels, one might conclude it really depends on the scenario. Jess answered a handful of questions about wandering eyes. Check out her answers and insight below.
1) Why do those in relationships check out other people in front of their significant other?
We are naturally drawn to beauty and sexual attraction is part of a hard-wired natural human response.
a) How 'normal' is this behaviour?
b) When does this behaviour become a cause for concern?
It’s normal to notice other people, but you have to be cognizant of cultural norms and how your reactions impact those around you. Are you making them uncomfortable? Are you appreciating beauty or objectifying a person?
Checking out other people is a cause for concern if you’re making your partner (or the other person) uncomfortable. If either...

Jess' Advice for Long-Distance Relationships
Jess tackled more questions this morning on Global TV's The Morning Show. This time, she addressed long-distance relationships. She shared her insights about how to strengthen relationship longevity and how to deal with the problems that may arise in the long-distance realm. Check out her expanded notes and video below.
1. My boyfriend and I have been living together for the last year of university and now I’m going to grad school on the east coast. We might have to do the long-distance thing and I’m worried that it won’t work out. Is our relationship doomed if I move across the country?
Your relationship isn’t determined by distance. There is no statistically significant difference in relationship longevity between geographically close and long distance relationships. Relationship satisfaction rates are also similar and intimacy, trust, and commitment outcomes are the same regardless of whether you live in the same city or many miles away. People in...
How to Talk About Sex in 3 Steps
Talking about sex isn’t easy, but it is well worth it to improve intimacy, develop a connection and heighten pleasure. Here are 3 steps to talking about sex with success:
Step 1: Be positive and begin with the easier conversations
Start by talking about what is already working and, offer compliments on those successes. This part of the ongoing sex talk may suffice for the very first discussion. You don’t have to move from “You’re a great kisser…” to “…but you don’t go down on me enough” in one breath. Sometimes it’s best to practice talking about sex by emphasizing the positive elements first. As you both become more comfortable with the topic (which takes time), then you can move into specific critiques. Here are a few lines to get you started:
“I love when you…”
“One thing that I really like is…”
“You’re the best at…”
“Do you remember...
