Poll: Should New Zealand take in 1500 refugees? Is it enough?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The annual refugee quota will lift from 1000 to 1500 by July 2020, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced this week. Before 2016 the refugee quota sat static at 750 for 30 years, well behind many other western nations. The National Government then raised it to 1000. Is it enough?

The 1 to 9 Couples Sex Scale

Ann from Relationship Wellbeing Specialist

A lot of couples are uncomfortable talking about how to initiate and refuse sex.

It's also difficult to cope with being turned down.

The key to making “yes” and “no” feel less loaded is to have an agreed-upon ritual in your relationship for navigating sex.

A lot of couples are uncomfortable talking about how to initiate and refuse sex.

It's also difficult to cope with being turned down.

The key to making “yes” and “no” feel less loaded is to have an agreed-upon ritual in your relationship for navigating sex.

Noted sex therapist Lonnie Barbach suggests that couples use a scale from 1 to 9 to indicate how amorous each of them is feeling, with 1 meaning “Not at all,” 5 meaning “I’m convince-able,” and 9 meaning “Let’s do it!”

So, if your partner initiates and you’re not in the mood, you can say, “I love you, and right now I’m a 1.” If you’re not sure, you could say, “Right now I’m a 5. Let’s kiss and see where it goes.”

The more you can hear, understand, and respect your partner’s “no” about any marital issue, the more “yes” there will be in your relationship.
