This week I worked with a couple and they were struggling with issues related to communication. They have been having problems in their relationship because she has not been completely honest and isn’t sharing her true feelings with her partner. She finally admitted that she was afraid to upset her partner and didn’t want to create contention or have an argument.
So it’s the new year...and the calendar year can really make you aware of how you want things to be different in your relationship. And it can be frustrating because when you don't see any positive changes and aren't sure what it will take to shift things what do you do?
I’m so happy to have been featured on The Couples Expert Podcast Rebuilding Loving Relationships. Click below to listen to Stuart Fensterheim interview me on how to avoid conflicts in your relationship especially during the holidays.
When tension rises in your relationship do you make demands or withdraw from your partner? Relationships are complicated. Often, you and your partner enter a dance where one person pursues the conflict and the other pulls away from it.
Do you or your partner watch porn? If so, you’re among the many people in the country who do. The pornography industry is one of the biggest in the country generating $13 billion each year. Many people – both men and women – watch it. One study found that the vast majority of men watch porn at some point in their life. About 30% of porn viewers are women.
You’ve decided to part ways. Even though the decision was right for you, it wasn’t easy. It’s still not. Divorce and breaking up is a process. The healing doesn’t happen overnight.
Does this sound familiar? It’s a Saturday night. You’ve had a wonderful day with your husband running errands, going out to eat and seeing a show. When you get home, you’re exhausted! It’s time for bed, but there’s just one problem – your husband wants to be intimate before you go to sleep.
You are unique. The way you express yourself is unique. Everyone has his or her individual communication style, especially when it comes to arguing.
Take a look on the news, in the gossip magazines, and on social media. Chances are, you’ll see a story or two about a husband caught in the Ashley Madison scandal.
What does sexy look like? Is a woman sexy if she’s skinny? Curvy? Strong? What if a man is tall? Is he sexier than someone who’s average in height?
