Why Marrying For Love Is A Mistake

We all want love. So much so, we may “look for love in all the wrong places.” But the emotion called “love” is what we use as the test of whom we should marry. Marrying for love is a mistake, and that’s why I wrote Picking Right: The Single’s Guide to Finding the Right Match. […]
How To Know If He/She Is Your Soul Mate

There is a lot of talk about “soul mates” and some of it is confusing and even untrue. That’s why I’ve chosen to tackle this subject early in this series. You may have known two people who seemed like perfect soul mates (or you may have been in such a relationship yourself) until… everything fell […]
Are You Wasting Yourself On The Wrong Person?

Moms don’t like to see their daughters (or sons) unhappy in their relationships. That was the reason one mom bought my book PICKING RIGHT: The Single’s Guide to Finding the Right Match. Her daughter had been dating a guy who treated her indifferently. And while adult children may not listen to their parents, they might […]

Are You Afraid To Be Yourself? Listen To Dr. Seuss!

What outraged me about the article was not that sorority members are raped at an astonishing rate; nor the evidence of some fraternities’ criminal conduct and sororities’ submission to it. Evidently, college women who wish to be part of sororities, are pressured to put themselves in risky situations that often lead to sexual violence, aided […]
If It Isn’t Right, Don’t Even Sample It!

“I knew he wasn’t right for me, but I wanted to get to know him anyway. Unfortunately, our relationship isn’t working out, but now I like him!” said the thirty-five-year-old single woman. I say, if it isn’t right for you, don’t even sample it! Suppose you are at a buffet. You are diabetic and have […]
