Dating Polygamy
No matter how freaky you want to get in a relationship, there’s almost always someone else out there willing to go down that path with you, which is why it’s unnecessary (and cruel) to be in multiple serious relationships at once without the knowledge of all parties. If you can’t make the commitment, or enjoy […]

 Violence in Dating
Not only are women staying in violent relationships when they’re not married—they’re in violent relationships before they’re even women! Data suggest that 25% of 8th and 9th graders have experienced dating violence. The reasons behind this phenomenon are still debatable, ranging from media influence to a breakdown in family, but one thing’s for […]

Achieving Intimacy
How to increase the level of intimacy in your relationship? Change your expectations—it’s the only way. Men, if you don’t know it by now, connect and communicate differently than women. What may come naturally to us (talking about our feelings, etc.) can be a struggle for them… just ask them how they feel about […]

Make A Great First Impression
Whether you’re a man or woman, your first date presents an opportunity that will never come again—the chance to make a good first impression.  Ladies—wear a dress that hugs your curves in all the right places, but still leaves a little to the imagination (bare the legs or the breasts, not […]

Spotting Your Soulmate
Question: Do we have the same views on money and sex?
Money and sex. They’re the two most divisive issues in a relationship, and are sighted as the most common reasons for divorce. So when you’re making your list (and hopefully checking it twice) for the things you’re looking for in a partner, make […]

Dating Your Political Opposite
Just like few topics are more divisive than politics, so too are there few that allow people to immediately feel connected to virtual strangers like politics does. In part because a choice in politics says much more about you than whether you believe in increased taxes for the wealthy. It speaks […]

Is Cheating Ok?
I’m not sure that cheating is any more prevalent today than it has been in the past, but it has definitely become more acceptable. Why? Probably, in part, because we spend so much time, as a society, delving into the underbelly—the darker side of our lives and personalities—that we no longer feel the […]

Effects of Remarriage on Adult Children
Although feelings can be mixed when a parent wants to remarry someone other than mom or dad, the older the children are, the better. Once “kids” have been on their own–in some cases married themselves, and in all cases, having experienced the complexities of love and relationships–the better equipped they are […]

Along with sex, money is one of the most divisive issues in a relationship—contributing greatly to our ever-growing divorce rate. Interestingly, though, the issue of money does not seem any less problematic for who have it as it is for those who don’t. Whether rich or poor, the subject of finances can hang over a […]

I hear so many women say that they don’t want to “play games” with men, but the truth is that being totally honest and totally up-front is totally unwise. Things that would move us to tears—like hearing them profess their feelings for us—will move them to running right out the door, if we’re the initiators. […]
