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.

Clutter is a distraction, causing you to lose focus and get sidetracked, and it also signals your brain to feel that your work is never done.

Pretending you don’t have feelings doesn’t pay off.

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?

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

No regrets about having kids? Maybe it’s time we all came clean.

The only thing worse than being in a bad mood, is dealing with someone else’s bad mood.

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.
