Parents — we’re the worst.

Sexless marriage? Couples therapists estimate that around 20 percent of marriages are sexless. Don’t give up without giving these ideas a try.

“Parenting” has become a competitive sport. But it’s kids who are losing. Let your kids screw up.

The "comfort relationship": Sometimes we get comfortable being uncomfortable.

Go ahead. Give in to the misery.

In a marriage, should you really feel lonely that much of the time? And if so, then how lonely is too lonely?

Yes, a lot of parents are assholes. But you know what? A lot of people are assholes; some of them happen to have kids, some don’t. I can’t speak for all parents, and I wouldn’t want to try. But speaking as one particular person with kids, here’s what I wish my childfree friends would understand…

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

A relationship with a narcissist may start out with butterflies and fireworks...But don’t be fooled: it’s not about you. It’s about them.

Marriage isn’t a game. But playing one can actually help strengthen it. So, game on!
