It’s one of those weird things that society or parents condition into us to believe. Feelings. Anger Sadness Hurt Frustration Lust Love Happiness All of these emotions are considered to be a description of the different emotional states that we are in from time to time as we navigate our way through our daily lives […]
Some days I get frustrated. Part of my job at SaveMyMarriageToday.com involves answering submissions from customers with marital problems that they need extra advice with. Some people need an alternative perspective on the issues surrounding their marriage crisis, while others simply need a little push. I get a few with issues so numerous and intertwined, […]
Yesterday I spent some time counseling a couple who are working their way through some pretty heavy issues. Infidelity was the main cause, and for this couple, it seemed touch-and-go if they were going to stay together. Up until the time the affair was exposed, the marriage had been going really well, and there was […]
Today is a really cold day. I’m rugged up against the cold wearing a shirt, blazer, and a scarf, the kind of "eurotrash" look that Jude Law pioneered in the movie "Alfie". Some of my work colleagues looked at me as I walked into the office this morning and remarked that I looked nice and […]

Even those who think that they are immune to the confusion of conflict can find themselves drawn into a communication breakdown when they least expect it, […]
It’s my partner’s birthday tomorrow, and I have been driving myself mad trying to find the perfect present that is going to show them how much love I feel. It’s not easy! I am still in the stage in my relationship where we buy each other flowers from time to time, and send texts to […]
Contrary to the belief that after you have the ring on your finger, life as a married couple is not always "happily ever after". This is especially true when I read an article about couples that spend extended periods of time away from each other, often separated by more than just a few miles. What I’m […]
I recently read an article in my local newspaper about Dr Laura, a blonde conservative radio host and agony aunt who at one time had the second most popular radio show in America.
