​Why Love Is Critical To Your Health

How to Recover from an Affair
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.

Save Your Relationship Before It’s Too Late
Many years ago I had a conversation with my wife that could have ended our marriage. And I have seen many couples engaged in the exact same cycle of relationship destruction. Here's what happened: - My wife said something to me and I responded back. She accused me of having a “tone." Who, me? - So now I am defending my “no tone." - She now says something back with a “tone" in her voice. So I escalate...

Why Soul Time is Important for Women in Love and Life
By their very nature women are nurturers and tend to give out more than they receive. Women can become so focused on their careers, their husbands/boyfriends, their friends, entertaining and children that they forget themselves. When women forget themselves, they lose themselves and begin to hardly resemble the person they once were.  Soul time is vitally important for women to stay connected within....

Approaching & Avoiding: Relationship Tips
Building and maintaining long-term loving relationships is one of the most challenging activities in which people engage. Relationships are exceedingly complex affairs. The bonds that sustain relationships – for better or worse – are built from what we say using our spoken words, what we communicate with the non-verbal parts of language (i.e., our voice tone and speech pace, body posture, facial expressions,...

Words Matter: 10 Steps to Healing from Word Wounds
We have all heard and probably recited the nursery rhyme "sticks and stones can break my bones..." You know the rest: "But words can never hurt me." If only it were true. The fact is that words do hurt. Unlike a bruise or broken bone, we can't see the wound on the outside.

Is Your Dating Style All About You?
Dating brings a rush of emotions to the surface and no matter what has happened in the past, there is usually a sense of anticipation before the date. Could this person be "the one" is the question from the heart. Your experiences in dating, love and commitment are directly related to your past thoughts.

Building Your EIQ (Part 2)
Would you like to have a higher EIQ? If so, you can, but it is a process over time that requires your commitment to growth. If you languish in your comfort zone, you won't grow and your EIQ will not grow. If you want to develop your EIQ, do the thing that stretches you rather than the thing that feels safe and comfortable. If you have an opportunity to meet new people, jump all over it. Make yourself...
