Conjugal Visits: Disconnecting to Connect
Remember back in the 1800s, before the telephone existed and before the Internets could read minds? People communicated by telegrams. They courted each other. No, I don’t remember that either. I came of age in the 90s. In fourth grade we learned about the Dewey Decimal System for looking up books at the library with...
Love Guru: Happy Anger
That sounds like the ultimate contradiction, whereas it is actually a deep and profound paradox we will be confronting if we remain open and honest to our emotional state.

Love Guru: Dare To Be More
This week, we are challenged in a rather hard way.

Hump Days: Money Can’t Buy You Love
Money can buy a lot of things. Some people think it can buy them happiness. In fact, people who don’t have money often think that having more of it will solve all of their problems. But check out the research that’s been done on former lottery winners who went from rags to riches overnight, and...
Conjugal Visits: 3 Very Weird Dates
The other day, my husband dropped the following: “So, how long do you think it will be until we have to start doing *really* weird things in the sack just to keep our love life interesting?” Me: “What kind of weird things?” (I regretted the question almost immediately.) Ben: “Off the top of my head?...
Love Guru: Fear Into Power
It is a simple fact of life that we go through cycles of fear. These can be brought on by many different factors, people or situations, but always the common denominator is that we are letting go of something we know that feels safe and secure, and moving into a new space that is unknown...

Conjugal Visits: Don’t be Alarmed
This week, it’s all about why you shouldn’t be alarmed by the alarming similarities between arranged marriage and online dating.

Love Guru: Heartfelt Visions
So many people in my life are connecting with the need to step back and review their lives.

Showmances: 7 Deadly Sins a Girl Can Commit to Kill a Relationship
