How far should love go?

Honesty is supposed to be the cornerstone of a healthy relationship, and lying, an automatic dealbreaker. But should it be?

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.

Although research is clear we should not come to work sick, there’s still a stigma associated with admitting you’re too ill to go to work.

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

Sometimes you have to let go of your dreams. As the years go by, you come to the realization that who you are now is pretty much who you’ll be forever.

Is it better to be alone than to be in a miserable relationship?

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

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.

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.
