by T.W. Winslow No Comments
Whether you've been with your partner for many years or you're just starting a new relationship, building true intimacy is crucial in developing a strong and loving relationship. Often we work hardest to develop intimacy in the initial stages of a relationship, and become somewhat lax in our efforts in the ensuing years. For those couples just starting out, sharing your deepest thoughts, fears, hopes and desires brings you closer together and helps to form strong and lasting bonds. As relationships continue to develop - couples marry, have children and become more involved in their careers, it's important to continue ... Read More ...

Cheer Up Your Partner

by Sara Reed No Comments
We asked GetRomantic.com visitors how they cheer up their partner. Give him a big hug and tell him how great he is! I do little things for her...send a card, leave a voicemail, tell her I love her. I take her on a getaway. Just us for one or two days. No kids, no cell phones, just us. My husband is not a "hide-his-feelings" kind of a guy, so it's easy for me to sense when something is bothering him. I usually start him a hot shower as soon as he gets home from work. I wait about five minutes ... Read More ...

by Dr. Paulette Kouffman Sherman 2 Comments
Here are the top fifteen complaints that I hear from women about the men they begin to date. Women are probably hoping that men will read this list and make some changes ASAP. But women also be willing to do their part to see how they can respond to men’s dating pet peeves (and I have yet to see or write this list). When singles in my classes say to me, ‘I just hate dating. It’s so much work!’ I am famous for responding with, ‘You think that dating is work, well marriage is work too!’. Those who date to ...

by B. SixWise No Comments
All couples argue from time to time, and, in a general sense, turns out we're all arguing about the same things. According to relationship psychotherapist Paula Hall, the top five things that couples argue about are (and roughly in this order): Money Sex Work Children Housework Money A study commissioned by Smart Money magazine and Redbook found that more than 70 percent of couples talked to their partner about money at least once a week.

Climb Out of Your Relationship Rut

by Kevin Countermine No Comments
Have you ever been in a long-term relationship, or about to enter that "long term" stage and then suddenly things start to slip away? Most relationships start to go down hill upon reaching this stage of longevity. Some can work through this stage and others may not be able to get through that rough spot in the relationship. We may ask questions like: "Why does this happen?" or "It used to be fun, but now it's not the same," or "What's happened to us?" The New Stage Remember way back when in the beginning of the relationship, when there were ... Read More ...

Building a Relationship That’s Right

by Mark Webb No Comments
We have been groomed from an early age to believe that we must find the right person and then we will fall in love and get married. We've been told that somehow we'll know when the right person comes along. The challenge to this kind of thinking is that love isn?t something you find, it's something you develop. The courtship process is crucial. It gives you and your partner an opportunity to sort out if you are suitable for each other. A couple of questions you can use to decide if a potential partner is right for you are: a) ... Read More ...

Secrets to a Long, Happy Marriage

by Karon Thackston No Comments
I was ultimately flattered one day when an acquaintance of mine told me she thought I had the best marriage she?d ever heard of. Just moments earlier she had been listening to me as I rambled on like a schoolgirl about how fabulous my husband is. 'How long have you been married', she questioned, assuming we were newlyweds. 'Seven years', was my reply. I?ve had many such reactions to the happiness and stableness of my marriage since that time. Even though I am not a marriage counselor or a doctor of psychology, I seem to often be put into that ... Read More ...

How to Be a Great Husband

by Mark Webb No Comments
One of the things I love most about being The Relationship Specialist is that I get to empower relationships. I particularly love to teach men how to be their best so that their women totally adore them. Most husbands fall into the good or poor categories. They aren't very happy with themselves and their wives don't like them very much either. Great husbands are few and far between. However, great husbands are much happier and they enjoy a richer degree of life. So, what is the difference? Here are some of the essential principles for becoming a great husband: Listen ...

Recently, I met with a woman who has an interesting story. It seems that she and her husband have been separated for many years.

Are You Codependent?

by Bill Urell No Comments
Codependents are people who exhibit far too much caring for people who depend on them. While this may not seem like a component of a bad relationship at first, codependency leads to several unhealthy outcomes, including the tendency to smother a loved one with over affection or self sacrifice to the point of martyrdom. This is most commonly exhibited by the archetypical over protective parent, who cossets their children to the point that these kids never really mature, and are left unable to fend for themselves when they are alone. Spouses and girl/boy friends can also exhibit codependency in a ... Read More ...
