How To Get Your Relationship Back On Track After Infidelity
Infidelity is a complex beast. It goes by many names and has many faces and can crop up even where you least expect it. It is naive to believe that only those in a troubled relationship can be plagued by infidelity - I’ve seen it rear its ugly head even in (seemingly) blissful relationships. Infidelity also takes many forms, and is not limited to a physical relationship or encounter with someone outside of your relationship. Even sharing emotional intimacy with someone othe

One underlying tension in many marriages is the weight of a debt. It is estimated that a very high percentage of divorces are based on some sort of financial issues between the couple, debt being a high on this list. If you see that you have fallen behind on your bookkeeping, it’s time to face the situation head-on… together. First, work yourselves out a budget for your day-to-day expenses. Pretend for just a few, glorious hours, that you have no debt at all, but that you ha

Time to Have the Talk
If you’ve been seeing each other seriously for a long time, have the talk. If you’re in a committed, long-term relationship, you must have the talk – the gender roles talk. Did you grow up as a fixture in a Leave it to Beaver rerun or did you hear Free to Be You and Me over and over and over? What if you fit the first description and your partner fits the second? This scenario could lead to communication cross-talk, and no couple needs that! Each of us comes into a relatio

Real People Schedule Intimacy
For many busy couples, intimacy is unfortunately an issue that gets pushed aside. Really, nobody’s checking up on it (we hope), and you don’t normally have a deadline on it or any of the other checks and balances that are involved in many other sectors of your lives.

Is Your Relationship In A Rut?
Is your relationship in a rut? Maybe you know that something’s missing in your relationship but you can’t quite put your finger on it. Being in a relationship rut means that you are neither particularly unhappy with your partner but you also not particularly happy. It’s like being in a comfortable place of indifference and acceptance that you can’t seem to get out of…why? Simply because it’s what you’ve both become accustomed to and you don’t know how to change it. But, here

Is Your Partner Overstepping The Relationship Boundaries?
When you’ve been together long enough, you pick up each other’s habits, finish each other’s sentences, share a bed, a home, maybe a couple of kids. You become a unit.
