Relationships

Before text messages were possible, we had to –  gulp – talk on the phone. It was a horrible, awful time in the lives of so many. Some of us grew up during a time in which we did not even have cell phones. That meant we had to take this thing that was attached […] More

The misconception that couples therapy is just for those who are on the brink of divorce is just asinine. Dax Shepard, husband of Kristen Bell (you know her as Anna from Frozen), and his wife are in couples therapy and they’re not even considering a divorce – nor were they ever. Bell said it best, […] More

So many things in life require perfect timing, yet there is no such thing as perfect timing in others. There is no such thing as a perfect time to have a baby, to move to a new location, to buy a house or to get married. There is no such thing; but in love there […] More

Unless you are 16, you should not date a guy that lives with his parents. Sorry, but it’s the truth. There are some boundaries and fine lines and gray areas here, but the consensus is pretty much that unless you are both under legal adult age, you should not date a guy that lives with […] More

It’s wedding season, but you shouldn’t go forth with gift shopping or check writing just yet. It seems that a large number of couples planning their weddings will call it quits on their relationship before they make it down the aisle, and some of them might not care whether or not it’s at rehearsal dinner […] More

Whether you argue with someone you love or someone you don’t even know but who really wanted to pick a fight with you because their day isn’t going as they planned, getting into a fight is not fun. It’s part of life, because we all have attitude issues at times and we all say things […] More

One of the saddest moments in life is when you realize that it’s time to end a friendship. It’s not difficult to end a casual friendship, but when you realize that you and your best friend no longer have what it takes to be friends, it’s a difficult moment. Perhaps you’re at different stages in […] More

A love contract? What is this that we speak of? The simple truth of the matter is that we aren’t entirely positive of this ourselves, so we had to do a little digging to find out what it means, what it is and how we go about creating this alleged love contract. And we also […] More

Telling someone you love them is always wonderful, but showing them is even nicer. After all, actions do speak louder than words in almost every sense of the manner. When you take the time to show someone you love them with your actions, you change the way they feel. You make that person feel special, […] More

Husbands; they’re an absolute gem – except when they are not. They’re loving and wonderful and kind and helpful and they help make beautiful babies. They’re also loud, sometimes they smell questionable, they can’t find anything, and they never hang your clothes in the correct closet space when they do laundry. Oh, he loves you. […] More
