It is very important to be able to tell whether or not your love relationship is healthy. Just like anything else in life, right? If your body is unhealthy in some way, you’d want to know how and why as soon as possible. The same goes for your mind, at least for most people. But…
The problem with losing weight for a lover is, you might not be losing weight for yourself. Let’s say there are two categories we need to talk about: losing weight for somebody else and losing weight for you. In this post I am most assuredly going to elevator you, yourself, into a status that is…
Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against mother-in-laws as a natural and inevitable byproduct of getting married. In fact, if you get married and don’t expect to have a mother-in-law, barring unusual circumstances, you’re in trouble. No, this post is about what happens when you get married and your mother-in-law rejects the fact that…
Let’s face it, if you expect a love relationship without conflict, think again. Two people means two different perspectives whether or not those perspectives are expressed and acknowledged. Keeping your true feelings and thoughts to yourself is worse for your relationship, but that’s for another post. If you aren’t afraid of a little conflict in…

The experience of love is organic and emerges into our direct experience beyond our control. Love is a…
There are two ‘big moments’ in everybody’s love life. The moment you realize it’s time to settle down and the moment you fall in love with ‘the one.’ This post is about the former. All in all, the latter appears to get a bit more attention. I can remember ‘the moment’ I realized I was…
Let’s face it, the job of raising a child takes a significant amount of psychological maturity. Sometimes, a bit more than what parents have attained by the time they have their children. Nothing worse than being brought up by immature parents, right? If you are born into a family with immature parents, what happens now?…
Contrary to what some people think, feelings have tons of meaning. Feelings exist for a purpose. Not just to add a little color to an otherwise routine predictable day. No way. Ultimately, feelings exist in order to tell you whether or not certain ‘needs’ you have are being met. We all have a bunch of…
It’s common to refer to falling in love as a ‘sickness.’ You know the craziness of falling in love. Consumed with passion, people in the throes of this love sickness are bound to do crazy stuff to possess their beloved. Sounds like a good time (or a good movie) but it’s not what I’m talking about in this article.…
