KARDASHIAN KRAZINESS

Guest post from: Steve DelaneyI hate to admit it, but ever since we got Cable Providers in our area, and we got cable, I have gotten into watching reality television. The reality television that I like to watch drives my husband crazy. He hates to hear anything about the “Kardashians”. I started watching “Keeping up with the Kardashians” and have caught all of the spin-off shows too. My husband says that if he has to hear anything that starts with a “K” that he just might loose it. My best friend and I like to get on the phone and chat about what happened on the show that day. Our husbands think that it is ridiculous. They say that we talk about these people and call them by their first names like we know them. I guess now that I think about it, when we do talk about the show...

To Keep The Love Alive In Your Marriage You Must MAKE TIME

By Patty ApostolidesIn the beginning of a relationship, love seems to have a life of its own. Without much effort, you feel like you are on top of the world.

Is there any way to make sure you fall in love and stay in love?

A female  age 18-21, anonymous writes:My on-again-off-again boyfriend is coming over this weekend. We've been "off" for a little less than two months now. My concern is that every time we get together after a few weeks apart, the passion we have for each other is intense. But then over the course of a few more weeks, we'll be reminded each other's faults (me) or get lazy with putting effort into the relationship (him - but to his defense, he is working on a degree).Is there anyway to make sure you fall in love and stay in love? Or do he and I both have to get used to the fact that relationships will never remain the same way they start?And...

6 Tips for a Healthy, Committed Relationship

By JOHN TSILIMPARIS Over the many years of treating couples in my private practice, I have used six behavioral directives that help committed relationships last. These directives are of course only effective when both partners are honestly dedicated to the relationship and are willing to change and grow together. Remember, all couples come to therapy with good intentions. They all desperately want to improve their relationships and make them last. But the only way that happens is when each partner agrees to change their behavior. No behavior change, no growth. No growth means the relationship will suffer over time. Here are the...
