St. Valentine’s Day is coming again!
Can you ignore it? Of course you can…if it is too painful to remember what it means, right?
Basically, it reminds us of the excitement from love feelings. Love feelings? Ha, what were those, you might ask?
When you first fall in love, there are certain chemicals in your brain that make [...]
Along the days and the years of your marriage, perhaps you were all the time completely aware of the nagging feeling haunting you…perhaps a tiny question: is this all? IS THIS RELATIONSHIP BE LIKE IT IS NOW FOR EVER?
You knew that there was not a lot of growth; more or less, both were growing old [...]
If you are going to get into a marriage with a passive aggressive person, you’d better have a very strong self-esteem. Which, of course, it is a silly piece of advice, because if you really had a healthy, sound, strong sense of who you are, then you will never put up with a passive aggressive [...]
