We’ve probably all heard it a million times: relationships are hard work.

Attracted to the wrong people? Believe it or not, this is actually a good thing.

Reading in bed together, while it might not be a major milestone — like marriage or having children — truly is a significant event in a relationship.

The elephant in the room is my mental illness. Do my anxiety and depression make me unworthy of love?

Are you drowning in negativity?

Go ahead. Give in to the misery.

This is your brain on love. And it’s scary.

How do you deal with feeling lonely; are you okay with having alone time?

The thing is, when you fight with your partner, it’s your amygdala that takes over. It's the part of the brain that processes fear, and it’s powerful.

My whole life, people have been telling me I’m “too much." It's BS.
