Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late
We receive many calls each week from couples who need help with their relationships. It always puzzles me when someone reaches out for help and then backs off. Clearly, they’ve been experiencing unhappiness, stress and other relationship problems. Why hesitate in doing something about them and… why wait until it’s too late? Recently I followed […]
What Is The Root Cause Of Relationship Trouble?
Relationship problems are nothing new. In the old days, families stayed together because they had to, to survive. Divorce was not an option, so couples put up with their issues and carried on unhappily to their dying day. But modern life presented new choices and freedoms, and so divorce became today’s “solution” for couples’ problems. […]
Don’t Make This Mistake
The man I was speaking with was distraught. His wife wanted to leave him (again!) and, although she had agreed to marriage counseling, she was procrastinating. Afraid to rock the boat, he wanted to give her time, even though it meant more opportunity to continue her old affair or start a new one. When we […]
A Sad Relationship Joke
I found this on Social Media: “And the princess lived happily ever afterin her OWN big castlewith all of her OWN moneyand she took care of HERSELF.The end.” This is cute and clever. At a first glance it may even put a smile on your face. But if you think it over, this is a […]
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 […]
Working Yourself Out Of A Job
“You have worked yourself out of a job,” said my client, thinking I’d be upset at the loss of business. “That was my intention,” I replied. “In fact,” I reminded him, “I have now worked myself out of a job with you twice: – first we fixed your marriage [in six months and under twenty […]
A Relationship Mistake You Must Avoid
If you want to ruin someone, deny them the right to help. Couples, friends, parents and children, make the mistake of “never needing help” or “not wanting to impose.” This can be extremely harmful to the relationship. I was talking to a young man recently, who was overwhelmed with a sense of indebtedness to his […]
Putting Past Relationships Behind You & Finding The Right Match
I received this from one of my readers, describing how he’d used PICKING RIGHT – The Single’s Guide to Finding the Right Match, to find his match, at last! I did the exercises in your book – each one in sequence. At the end I had ended all attention on past relationships. That was amazing! […]
