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

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

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.

If you have these four types of friends in your life, they could literally be making you sick. Consider yourself warned and remove these toxic friends!

Does chronic anxiety ever make you feel like a flake?

Being a parent isn’t everything.

As a person who writes about relationships for a living, I might be one of the people least in need of all this well-meaning advice, which usually amounts to clichés and can even veer into the territory of outright insults. What I need – what most of us need – is for people to hear me, and to trust me.

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

My anxiety doesn’t mean I can’t be a good parent. In fact, it makes me a better one.

Is it possible that talking about your relationship less could actually be the key to making it better? Sometimes, stop talking and just let yourselves be.
