Ever notice how texting makes life easier? But what happens when this easier communication style backfires?

Ending a relationship is a process. This decision doesn’t happen overnight. Even if this decision is right for you it is never easy. Depending on how long the relationship was in tact and how much was invested emotionally the mourning time might be longer than others.

Many of my couples often get concerned that after being in a relationship for more than six months they will lose the spark or romance with their partner. The romantic love stage usually fades within one year. But, it’s important to replace romantic love with emotional intimacy.
Check out my interview with Justin Stenstrom on Elite Man Podcast where I discuss the 4 biggest issues in relationships and how to overcome them. You will learn what it takes to have a healthy relationship. Here's some of what we cover:
Money is often a major source of tension in relationships. Far too often couples break up over this. Recently, I have been working with a couple that is planning to get married next year. Money has been a source of stress in their relationship since they have different spending styles. They are working on learning how to prevent arguments and work through their differences in order to resolve financial conflicts. An effective way to address the problem is to discuss your money history and philosophy together.
The act of physical intimacy helps to create a shared pleasure. Physical connection reinforces and deepens intimacy, and it acts as a tension releaser for the stressors in your relationship.
One of the most important things I see in healthy relationships is the ability of both partners to take ownership of their responsibilities to themselves and each other. We all have issues, which can easily affect the dynamics of our relationship.
