Wellness Tip:- You may be puzzled to read an entry about love under Wellness. But your emotional life is every bit as important to your overall well-being as your heart or blood pressure. In fact, your emotional state may be the greatest influence upon your overall physical health. Much has been written about stress being a detriment to good health; but not much has been said about how positive feelings...

We see them in movies and read about them in books. We even kid around about going through a midlife crisis when we hit the occasional tough spot in life. All jokes aside though, -the midlife crisis is a very real phenomenon- and the sudden behavioral changes that come with it can be very worrisome for those of us who have to watch our loved ones struggle. Is There an Imposter Living in Your House?...

I’ll admit, that title sounds kind of like an ad for perfume or positivity or plastic surgery. But you don’t need to go shopping for the one thing you absolutely need to find a great partner. Because—surprise!— - what you really need is to know in your heart that you’re just fine on your own. That means you’re secure in yourself, you’ve built a life you enjoy, and nobody else is going to “make you...

Over the last several years, as an author, educator, and mentor of women, I have analyzed marriage from a multiplicity of angles—that is from material written by professional governmental, educational, and faith-based sociologists, scientists, and psychologists, as well as journalists, philosophers, and novelists.

When conflict arises, are you the person who's quick to apologize, wanting to sweep everything under the rug so the tension goes away? Or are you the one who tends to hold that hurt for a while, allowing the offensive words to gain a life of their own? Most of us identify with one approach or the other when arguments happen in love. The problem is neither response leads to a true reconciliation that...

There she was; the lady who always looked at me with disdain. “What have I ever done to her?”- I wondered. “Why does she disapprovingly look at me when I’ve never really had a conversation with her?”- I was baffled by the sour look she gave me every time I saw her. I racked my brain trying to figure it out. The weird thing was that her friend liked me; we laughed and talked like we had known each other...

Has finding lasting love made you feel insane? Have you found yourself attracting the same type of mate and suffering through the same painful prolonged breakups? Have you vowed never – and I mean never – to date or fall in love again? Supposedly, one far wiser than I am, Mr. Albert Einstein himself, said, “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” I don’tknow...

In my new book "The Marriage and Relationship Junkie," I provide a picture of the opportunities and possibilities for relationship and marriage addicts in recovery. There is a path to healthy love and positive, meaningful relationships. It will take time, learning to be comfortable and accepting...

An affair is often thought of as a death blow to a marriage –the worst thing that could possibly happen to the relationship, from which there can be no recovery. The truth is that a couple can still save their marriage after one partner has committed adultery, if both parties choose to do so. This choice is naturally harder for the spouse who has been cheated on. The emotional pain of “victims" of...

If you're married then you found the "right one," right? If you have a boyfriend then you presumably found the "right one" as well, true? Not so sure? - If you're dating, well that can be a serious challenge. We go out with all these men trying to find the right “one” and the search for this person is often frustrating and disappointing. Online dating is the new way for people to meet each other, especially...
