During our celebrations of the July 4th holiday, most of us took a few moments to reflect on our freedom. Think about this slogan – “freedom isn’t free” and combine that with the holiday, putting in to terms of your relationship with the ones you love. You have the freedom to love someone completely. So many times, we hold back our love trying to protect ourselves from more hurt. You can start today to free yourself from the past.

WHAT KIDS SAY ABOUT LOVE & MARRIAGE
This is from an interview:
1. HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHOM TO MARRY?
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
– Alan, age 10
No person really decides before they grow up who they’re going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you’re stuck with.
– Kristen, age 10

Keep Love Alive
Relationships change for the better by what we change inside ourselves.
“I cannot always control what goes on outside. But I can always control what goes on inside.”
~Wayne Dyer
One of the most frustrating things to deal with in our love relationships, is trying to get the person we love to change to make our life easier. This really came to light yesterday while I was speaking to a Newlywed couple, helping them with a relationship issue they were experiencing. I love Newlyweds. They are discovering and learning so much as they make the transition from dating, being engaged, to husband and wife. Newlyweds have combined their lives, furniture, money, families and friends.So much has happened to then since becoming married that they often don’t see just how far they have come. The changes have happened on the inside.

Take Five and Connect With Your Spouse
How to revive your relationship in 5 Minutes starting today!
Life just keeps on moving and in the process, sucks you in until the day is completely gone. There will always be more to do. There will always be things that come up out of the blue – even if you try to plan for the unknown. It’s easy to put your love life on hold as you try to manage the new crisis such as getting a battery for your car because the old one gave it up today, finding a plumber to fix that leak that has gotten bigger and now ruined the carpet. Believe me when I tell you that every day life is full of unknowns.
Can Money Really Buy You Love?
Monday September 13, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Money is a hot issue for couples.
Money and Marriage…think about it as assets and liabilities not as a topic that creates problems for the two of you!
I was raised by my grandparents with their old time, common sense platitudes on just about every subject. I don’t remember us being poor, although by today’s standards we were, because we always got by with what we had and lived around other people who did likewise. Occasionally a fancy car would drive through our neighborhood with well heeled people inside which would cause my grandmother to sagely shake her finger at me and ruminate the two old adages “Money can’t buy happiness” and “Money is the root of all evil.”

What You Can DO For Your Relationship

Relationship Do’s
So many times we focus on the negative habits with the ones we love. We get into a routine of pointing out the flaws. We need to stop ourselves from this pattern. This is one thing that pushes the one you love farther away from you. The fact is what we really want is connection and acceptance. We want to bring the other person closer to us.
Try these things everyday:
Start out each day with a kind word before each of you goes out the door.
Send a text saying that you were thinking about them.
Don’t Waste Time on He Said She Said
Friday July 9, 2010 By Leave a Comment
In working with couples, I am aware that so many times there is such a disconnect with what your partner is trying to tell you and what you really hear. Just thinking about a recent client reminds me that her definition of a word is so different from her husbands. This will create real trouble in your relationship. First of all, you will never feel that your partner understands you. Over time those misunderstandings turn in to resentment. You could begin to feel as if the entire Grand canyon has come between the two of you. Here’s a simple process to help you from becoming worlds apart.
She Wants A Divorce, Now What?
Friday April 16, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Just thinking about a divorce can make even the strongest man fall to his knees in disbelief. Its not that you are not strong. It’s not as if you didn’t make any mistakes in your relationship. You know that you did. It’s just that you never thought things would end. Especially in such a final, formal way. Oh sure sometimes you didn’t listen, you forgot to keep your promises, and you were too busy at times too. You also knew that things were less than ideal for both of you. But you stuck it out.

Loosen Up And Be Irresponsible With Your Partner – Tap In To Your Fun Side
The title of this great relationship tip will throw some people off because it appears as if you are being asked to be irresponsible as in not caring about anything. This is not the meaning, the meaning of this tip is that it is good for your relationship if you have a day or an evening or another time acting silly and not being so much of a grown up. Forget all of your responsibilities and your education level and just go out and have some spontaneous fun, fun that doesn’t require intense thought and dedication.
Great Relationship Tip #5. Have a Place Together
Monday April 12, 2010 By Leave a Comment
This may seem obvious and you may be asking yourself right now if everyone is living together in their relationship or if it is just you. Having a place together is a great relationship tip not in reference to your home or apartment that you live in together, but in relationship to the one place you enjoy going together outside of home more than any other. This place could be a vacation spot or a spot in town where a major relationship development occurred or any other spot that is meaningful to the both of you.
