She doesn't force an Ikea trip on anyone. Rather, she asks them to let her know when they're in need of a new piece of furniture and then has them talk her through the assembly experience via text messages and subsequent therapy sessions.
It's a chance for couples to think critically about how they handle high-pressure situations. If they resort to insults and command each other while struggling with a pesky dresser, it's likely those same patterns of behavior show up in other areas of their relationship, she said.

Attention, Mall Shoppers, it’s time to find out if this game is as fun as you remember.
Almost 30 years after its introduction, the game still holds a special place in many twenty and thritysomethings' hearts.

Or if, maybe, it was never all that great to begin with. Here's what we discovered.

Morgan Shanahan: "I was a child of the '80s. I knew everything about the game before today. "
Sam Stryker: "This game is basically the same thing as a dinosaur to me. It lived and died before I was even born. All I know is, everyone who is older than me in the office seems to know what it is."
Leo Epstein: "Duh. Best game of the '90s."
Brian Galindo: "All I know is that it was a competitive shopping game, like The Hunger Games but with a shopping theme, and that every girl I knew LOVED this game. Oh, also that it was a 3D board game — that I also know."
An 18-year-old Baltimore college student who was arrested during Monday’s demonstrations told BuzzFeed News that detainees were packed into cells, mocked, and held in terrible conditions.

Saucha Robinson said the worst moment of being jailed during the unrest that hit Baltimore overnight Monday was when guards unleashed pepper spray to subdue two people who were fighting somewhere outside their cell.
"It started going into all of the cells," the 18-year-old college student said. "Everybody was choking and there was nothing we could do."
Later, a woman in her cell started to have an asthma attack. As Robinson helped lay her down, the other detainees started banging on the metal door to get the guard's attention. One of the guards who came up to the window said "What do you want us to do about it?" as the woman turned red, Robinson recalled.
The guards asked the woman to come to the window, but she was unable to on her own, Robinson said. After being helped up to the window, she was put on an oxygen mask.
Finally, at a hearing with a commissioner at 4 a.m. Tuesday, she was only asked if she needed a lawyer. She said she didn't need one.
"How will I know if I need a lawyer if I don't even know what I've been charged with?" Robinson recalled saying.
She was told she'd have to see another commissioner, but that never happened.
"I understand it was a state of emergency, but they have to be prepared for things like this," Robinson said. "There has to be a smarter way to go about it and protect the city and keep things under control."

Robinson was among the 235 people arrested Monday during the city's protests over the death of Freddie Gray. Beyond the lack of information, she said she was held in a tiny cell with 10 other women under deplorable conditions.
Robinson said she got caught up in the arrests after she and two friends had walked out of Coppin State University to watch the protests. When the demonstration began to get violent about an hour later, police started rounding up everyone in sight, she said. It was at that point that Robinson said she and her friends attempted to return to the college, but she was arrested after being struck on the leg with what she suspects was a beanbag.
After being forced to sit on broken glass that cut her hands, Robinson said, she was placed in a holding cell inside Baltimore's Central Booking and Intake Facility with 10 women. And there she remained, from about 8 p.m. Monday to 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Inside the concrete cell, the women shared a sink and exposed toilet. Those who could sleep did so on the floor, or took turns on one of two concrete benches, Robinson said. The women eventually resorted to using bread slices handed out as food as pillows or seat cushions.
"It was traumatizing," Robinson told BuzzFeed News. "This was the first time I was arrested and it's unfortunate that it was under such extreme conditions."
Correction officers also declined to provide pads to women who were on their period, Robinson said. Soon, the cell soon started to smell like urine and body odor.
"We didn't have a choice but to smell each other," Robinson said. "When officers would walk by or open the door, they would make comments like 'Oh you all stink.' It was all very unprofessional."
A Baltimore public defender this week echoed similar concerns about the conditions inside the jail and said most were held without being formally charged or having a bail hearing.
Maryland Department of Corrections spokesman Gerard Shields declined to comment about the alleged conditions.

An appreciation of one of the greatest WWE finishers of all time.
He's a 12-time WWE Champion and overall badass. He's a third-generation wrestling superstar (his grandfather Bob Orton, Sr., his father "Cowboy" Bob Orton, and his uncle Barry Orton all competed in the squared circle). At 35 years of age, he's considered a seasoned veteran in the wrestling business and will one day be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
They also call him "The Viper."

The move is simple yet devastating: He jumps in the air, grabs the back of his opponent's head, and falls flat on his back, driving his opponent's face into the mat. The move is intended to damage the opponent's face, neck, jaw, and spine.

Some of the greatest superheroes of all time have heeded the call of “Avengers Assemble!” Also, a lot of randos.
Marvel
So how do you get to be the worst Avenger? Dr. Druid — Dr. Anthony Ludgate Druid — was a psychiatrist (an occupation largely centered around sitting and talking), who got trained by an ancient mystic to be the backup sorcerer if anything happened to the more popular Doctor Strange. Besides being a literal superhero understudy, he also got mind-controlled by a villain named "Terminatrix," left the team in disgrace, joined another team, got mind-controlled again, faked his own death, betrayed at least one more team, and then bravely got killed for real.
Marvel
Jack of Hearts is a half-alien whose scientist father exposed him to experimental "zero fluid," giving him the power to shoot energy blasts. He chose a playing-card-themed identity for unclear reasons and hung out in space for a while, before joining the Avengers during an emergency hiring crisis, and eventually blew himself up in space — along with a child murderer he grabbed on the way. Classic super heroics.
Marvel
This dude is a disgraced Olypmic athlete who got his powers from a weird cult that subsequently pushed the Avengers to bring him on as a diversity hire as part of a secret plot to infiltrate the team. Very questionable. He later becomes the 3-D Man, maybe because he didn't feel dorky enough.

Jibran has spent most of his life in Pakistan. He partook in the 2013 national elections and ran as an independent candidate. A local celebrity and a favourite of the Pakistani youth, he's best known for his fearless campaigning against terrorism and corruption, and for minority rights in the country
Currently, Jibran is setting up an online network called neverforgetpakistan in hopes of building a better image of the country. You can join the movement here.
The political thriller, which was initially popular in a good light among American show watchers in Pakistan, caused an outrage among Pakistanis for the inaccurate portrayal of their country in season 4.

Fail clip: Protagonist Carrie Mathison is seen attempting to blend into a crowd in Islamabad by covering her head. She is, however, sporting a jacket, and jeans.
Jibran's take: "You think you're going to mix in the crowd by covering your head? What about the suit you're wearing? Seriously? So you're going to wear pants and a shirt, and nobody's going to notice because you've got your head covered? I mean Hillary Clinton comes in and she never covers her head.
All the people who work at the USAID and the State Department who roam around and who go to cafes, and eat around and dine around and party, and have a good time in Pakistan, they don't cover their head."
Because it’s not really a Sunday if you don’t eat a huge brunch.
The sauteed mushrooms at Dizengoff are actual perfection on a plate, and will keep you coming back every single weekend.
This welcoming little cafe is all about serving up healthy, fresh, and of course, delicious brunch options.
Right near the beach, Jam is the perfect place to refuel after a morning swim.
This charming little French establishment has an AMAZING eggs benny. Seriously.
