According to the Jamaica Observer, he might be the world's fastest man but Usain Bolt eased up

We’re escaping the spring showers on the mainland for the warm sun and hot men of the Caribbean this Monday, starting with Barbadian-British soccer player Ashley Cole. What we wouldn’t do for an afternoon of basking in the sun on a private beach with him.

Arguably the sexiest man alive, Tyson Beckford, whose parents hail from Jamaica, has been mesmerizing us with his almond-shaped eyes, curvy lips and sensational body for decades now. Now 40 years old, he keeps getting sexier with age.

Puerto Rican actor Adam Rodriguez keeps us tuning into “CSI: Miami” season after season for those succulent pink lips and that confident swagger that all Caribbean men seem to have.

How did Lenny Kravitz get so fine? He got his stunning looks and major sex appeal from his Bahamian-American mother Roxie Roker of course.

Haitian model and actor Jimmy-Jean Louis is the epitome of perfection. That smooth bald head, that strong square jaw, those sultry dark eyes and lusciously full lips add up to one striking man.

What woman hasn’t fantasized about Dominican baseball player Alex Rodriguez and his mesmerizing stare and strong major league buns. Oh what a night that would be!

We’re drawn to Damian Marley’s rugged, rastaman swag, but it’s his conscious message and the way he carries his father’s legacy that really intrigues us.

When you’re the fastest man in the world women kind of flock to you. We’d like to slow things down a bit with Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt — you know set the mood before we speed things way, way up.

Don’t let the baby face fool you, Jamaican tennis player Dustin Brown is a force to be reckoned with on the court. We can’t stop swooning over his free-swinging dread locks and sun-kissed complexion when he plays.

Mr. Fox gets sexier and sexier with each passing year. Just look at those puppy eyes!

Jamaican model Oraine Barrett is the new Tyson Beckford. That smooth dark chocolate complexion goes so well with those delicious lips and mouth watering muscles.

Let's just extend the candy aisle shall we... with Jamaican sprinter Yohan Blake

And do we dare say... Mr. Asafa Powell? Is he sexy?

More women are taking their new husbands' names after marriage, research shows. But the decision continues to spark debate and confusion.

The trend toward women keeping their maiden names after marriage peaked in the 1990s, when about 23% of women did so, then eased gradually to about 18% in the 2000s, says a 35-year-study published in 2009 in the journal Social Behavior and Personality. And increasingly, studies show women's decisions on the issue are guided by factors other than political or religious ideas about women's rights or marital roles, as often believed.

Well-educated women in high-earning occupations are significantly more likely to keep their maiden names, the study shows. Brides in professional fields such as medicine, the arts or entertainment are the most likely of all to do so. Age makes a big difference too, according to a 2010 study in a scholarly journal entitled "Names: A Journal of Onomastics." Women who married when they were 35 to 39 years old were 6.4 times more likely to keep their names than women who married between the ages of 20 and 24.

Committed couples regularly say negative things to each other that they wouldn't say to anyone else. Without apparent forethought, they casually communicate critical comments they would never have uttered when their love was new.

A number of times every day in couples' counseling sessions, I watch as these intimate partners blurt out hurtful words or phrases without apparent forethought. When I point out the apparent level of tactless honesty that is happening, they are often surprised. They had not realized how much their day-to-day interactions had coarsened.
