A happy marriage starts in the bathroom

When it comes to "Happily Ever After," not much time is spent thinking about sharing bathroom space every day for the rest of your life together. And guess who loses out in the battle for the bathroom? No surprise, it's the guys -- who, according to a recent survey, are only using a third of their bathrooms. And ladies, nine out of ten of them are using your products, too.
Husband-and-wife home design duo Mark and Theresa Clement have been there. Theresa says, "You want your man to feel special, and you want him to be gorgeous, and you want him to be happy because having a happy marriage is so important, so [men] having a space of their own in the bathroom, and making sure you don't take over their space is so important."
And when it comes to products, Mark admits his wife's shampoo doesn't always get the job done. "Our hair care needs -- and it's okay to admit this -- are different," says Mark, speaking for the guys, "We deal with oiliness and thinning hair and dandruff." Enter Dove Men+Care and its line of products specifically designed for the dudes -- covering everything from scents to sensibility when it comes to addressing men's hair care needs.
And Dove Men+Care is taking it one step further by helping men reclaim that precious bathroom space of their own with their "Hair to the Throne" contest. The Clements are excited to be a part of the Grand Prize package: "$15,000 towards a bathroom renovation," explains Mark, "Plus a consultation from us, so you can have a happy life."
In the meantime, guys looking for a DIY project to get things going can make the most of that giant wasted space in the bathroom right above the toilet. Mark suggests, "If you hang a simple cabinet up there, you can do it in a couple of hours; it doesn't cost very much. You can break up the gridlock of stuff, open up that one third that you shoe-horned yourself into, put in toiletries or toilet paper...and reclaim a space of your own in the bathroom."
But at the end of the day, starting your day with communication is key. Theresa notes, "A happy marriage means that you're both feeling good...about your space together. ... Starting off your day right, getting ready for work in the morning and making sure you're both happy and comfortable and it's a space that you feel so good about will make sure you have a really good start of the day."
You can start by going to dovemencare.com to enter to win that Grand Prize and other prizes, too, totaling $30,000 in prizes. And while you're staking your claim to be the next "Hair to the Throne" winner, check out their great bathroom makeover tips, too.
