This is one to watch because of the monster movie undertones in a coming-of-age lesbian romance. The flick actually reminds me quite a bit of something out of the mind of Peter Jackson. Check it out.
Jack and Diane, two teenage girls, meet in New York City and spend the night kissing ferociously. Diane’s charming innocence quickly begins to open Jack’s tough skinned heart. But when Jack discovers that Diane is moving she pushes her away. Unable to grasp her new feelings, Diane's emotions begin to cause unexplainable violent changes to her body. Through these awkward and insecure feelings, the two girls must struggle to turn their first love into an enduring one.

As we celebrate Valentine's Day, let us reflect upon love. There are many types of love: love between a husband and wife, love between a parent and child, love between siblings, love between family, love between friends, and the greatest love between God and His beloved children.
Love is putting others before ourselves. Love is taking the time to truly listen. Love shows mercy and forgiveness. Love renews hope. Love makes time to really know another person. Love does activities that will bring joy to someone else. Love is investing a portion of ourselves in the lives of others. Love takes chances. Love protects at all costs. Love isn't reserved just for Valentine's Day but should be lived in every aspect of our lives in each moment that we live. Dare to love richly!
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV)
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34-35 (NIV)

From time to time, something suddenly reminds me of someone I haven’t seen for a long time, who I used to spend a lot of time with in the past. You might also have some friends you used to hang out all the time, but now you don’t see each other as you used to do, or at all. From my experiences, in many cases, those things happen without any particular reason, and even before we know.
When something reminds you of your old friend you don’t see any more for no reason, you might start thinking like this:
“We used to spend a lot of time with, but why don’t we any more?”
“I used to go out more often, especially to that place, but why did I stop?”
Someone might say, “Life happened.”
We just get busy, or we somehow start to spend a little more time with other people. Or maybe we become more responsible for something, and our priority begins to change. Some of these changes happen very slowly, and some happens drastically and instantly. Either way, it’s hard for us to realize that’s happening.
It’s not like we don’t like that person, or that place any more. We just live our own lives, and so many things – big and small – happen along the way, and that gradually changes our relationships with people around us. If you like it or not, that happens sometimes, and we just can’t help it.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing though.
Since situations and environments change, we can meet new people. That could be when we experience unexpected and nice encounters. Those changes allow ourselves to change.
Even I understand that, when I think of the old friends, wondering how they have been and if they’re doing well, that’s when I realize that I don’t know anything about them now, and start to feel disappointed or sad. Trying to deal with those feelings, I came up with this idea:
If we spend time together, that means we give something to each other.
Something like gifts. Invisible presents.
Anything – or a part of anything – you have right now, may be a gift someone gave you before in your life, somewhere along the way you came to the point where you are today. It could be, something you like, your knowledge, how you see things, the way you think. It can also be some happy feelings you’ve experienced before. It of course can be some memories from fun days you spent together.
All of the nice gifts – every good things you received from people you met in your life – stay within you, and they’re always helping you.
I went to my very old friend’s wedding recently, and met some of my very old friends back in my home town. I was surprised how long I haven’t seen them and how little I know about them now. I almost started to feel sad that we don’t hang out anymore, and to regret that I was too lazy to keep in touch with them.
But maybe that’s not the right way to see that situation.
I was lucky enough to meet them, and to spend some time together, and we gave some invisible gifts to each other. We don’t really know what we gave or received, but we did for sure…. It doesn’t matter if it was a small or big one.
That’s something I should be grateful, not sad, or confused.
When we spend time with someone, whether it’s for a long or short time, we give something to each other…. and after a while, we go our own ways. Maybe we go the same direction. Or maybe we go separate ways. We never know.
If our paths cross again somewhere someday, that’s wonderful.
So….there’s a new question. Who are we spending time with now?


Sex therapy is centered around the idea that sexuality is an inherent, essential part of being human. Sex therapists use a non-pathologizing approach and focus on sexual freedom.
What can sex therapy help with?
Sex therapy addresses a wide array of sexual concerns that impact both individuals and relationships. Topics include issues with sexual arousal, frequency, sexual pain, difficulty achieving orgasm, out-of-control sexual behavior, physiological shifts after childbirth or menopause, and changes in the sexual dynamic of a couple over time. You can search the query – “sex therapists near me” if you need expert advice on sex therapy or related topics.
Sex therapists work to uncover the psychological or physical factors that cause distress. They do this by examining and interacting with the patient, then translating their findings into a treatment plan for patients to follow.
Sex therapy is typically composed of a few standard components.
A sex therapist can help you use mindfulness practices, which have been proven to be an effective way to deal with sexual dysfunction. Being mindful means “being aware of what is happening inside you and being kind to yourself even when you struggle”.
Sensate Focus is a mindfulness technique that cultivates awareness, connection, and desire. It is used in sex therapy with partners who want to reduce anxiety when engaging in physical touch.
Learn how the dual control model works
A sex therapist will often use the Dual Control Model. It looks at the context of our sexuality and how it relates to both what turns us on and what turns us off. Using the model, sex therapists can help couples find contented equilibrium in sexual interactions.

Written by me.
When you go home,
You open the door
And the dogs come to greet you
They can’t believe their luck
That their wonderful human beings are home
All they want in return for their unconditional love is for you to love them back.
After greeting the happy animals,
You wave good bye to the babysitter
As you and your partner pop in
To check on you beautiful little boy
The sound of his breath is just the most precious thing
What a lovely family you have grown.
You smile at each other and
Make your way to the kitchen to
Chat about your evening.
A lovely evening
Catching up with friends
You dissect the ‘he saids’ and ‘she saids’
Until you have filled each other in
On the important news of the night
You make your way to the living room
Where you sit
Just to relax and
Spend quality time together
You apologise to each other
For being snappy at each other earlier in the day
And once again your heart
is filled with love.
You chat and laugh
About how silly you both were
And give each other a hug
The dogs lay across you
And you feel a sense of ‘full’
Fullness of the heart,
Nothing else need fill you.
You go to bed….just when you are tired
You walk into the bedroom and
Chat through the transition
The dogs spinning round your legs.
Your boy coughs into the baby monitor and you check one last time
All is ok.
You get into bed
Making sure to get in on YOUR side
It’s nice to be in the presence of another
You exist, you are whole. You sleep.
When I go home,
I open the door…

All the planning, all the primping, and all the pressure of the past months will finally be over as you, your family, and your closest friends enjoy the start of your new life together. The cameras are snapping as the smiles abound, the memories are being captured at each turn. Sue and Brian VanPackard thought it would be a great idea to be able to share these memories with the members of their wedding party. While a gift for your wedding party pals is customary, the one the VanPackards chose was anything but! Brian came up with the idea of giving each member of the party a thumb drive pre-loaded with wedding photos. Sue then found that she could get the drives engraved with their friend’s names as well as the wedding date on them for free! You can imagine how thrilled their friends were to have their own personalized thumb drives complete with the wedding pictures from that special day. They didn’t have to worry about taking any shots themselves and they were free to enjoy the long planned party. “It must have been a great idea, we hear the rest of the attendees at the wedding were a bit jealous!” Great idea Sue and Brian, and congratulations on the start of your new life together!

Long-term relationships: Secrets to create a relationship with duration depending on its sign. It is not so difficult to manage the person you have in the eye to be enchanted only by you. Put it in your bed and encase it forever in your s..ual nets. You can do it and this fight will be easy. Learn the characteristics of each sign in a relationship of lasting and intense passion and act accordingly:
Signs and how to create relationships with duration
Aries, a dynamic and independent sign, always looks for a relationship with the best standards and will offer him a certainty in the future. On the other hand, he is trapped in some of his own molds, and he does not let himself express himself as he really wants, since he wants everything in perfect. Within the relationship, you really want something certain, but you do not need to give that value and importance to things that are not really something special.
If you want to make a relationship with seriousness and success, future and have it there whenever you want your loyal partner, it is undoubtedly the Taurus. With him you will pass from patience to eternal devotion and every day you will learn new things through your love. On the other hand, but you Taurus, you have the flaw to judge continuously situations that happen within your relationship and affect the smooth functioning of your love.
This character of the Gemini, yes you are about a multifaceted person, who easily passes from one situation to another, is a unique event. Yes, you have a social character and your mate will be beautiful, since you are quite communicative, but you become tedious in the relationship. The reason; You want what you feel about feeling the other. Under no circumstances are we all the same, and here we are talking about future relationships, so put some water in your wine.
Your sensitivity is your great skill and it could not escape through the serious relationship that you will make. Cancer in general has as its main elements to achieve a relationship of the future and to succeed in enchanting its match forever, its resilience. On the other hand, with the same ease that you can judge yourself, you judge your partner if you notice something you do not like without looking for the true cause of this.
Success is generally accompanied by Leo and you are no exception. You really like to control situations in your life, especially when it comes to a relationship that goes towards absolute happiness. But on the other hand, these positive features that you have, make you close your eyes in reality, leave your mate a few times aside and feel that because you are generous in the relationship, all right. Great mistake. The problems may be in the depth of the relationship and you have to look together, not yours, to deal with them.
With Virgo in a relationship that you are aiming for even at marriage, you have your head quiet. Because he is a very responsible person and always assumes his responsibilities. You avoid, however, you, my dear, to say good words to your own people, even if it is your mate that together you will engrave your life. It may be your own defense to keep distance from the beautiful words and show only works. But believe me, somewhere and your other half you need to climb it up with beautiful conversations and lots of True words.
Libra is another chapter on the subject of the relationship by one’s. It has its own tactics to deal with the different situations created within the course of love and this has to do with the just faith that follows it. So, right and multi-ladder Libra, you do well that avoids quarrels and tensions that will bring e**tic storms among you and will crack hearts, but throwing them all on you, it reduces your intense personality. Everything in good measure.
Your s…ality is at its zenith. Your need for er*tic contact with intense passion grows more and more. Your relationship will go first out of bed to see if you fit in this field and then you are willing to do everything. Are you? On another level, you feel that you have to convince everyone to hear that everything you say is right and you do not accept criticism. Can the serious relationship for you amount to a good bed, but do you need to clarify exactly what you are asking for?
Why so much to everyone? Why should everyone be admired? Have you seen it written? The song “to whom we like, to others we will not be able” does not know it? You know very well who you are and what you do and how your strengths and abilities can get. Do not waste the effort of universal worship. Neither is Marylyn Monroe to be. You are a pioneer in your field and you have to let yourself live your relationship the way it should. Loose and with lots of love. Show yourself your love to get it back to the fullest.
“Ambition” is the initial term which has a Capricorn in his or her terminology . He always wants to achieve his goals, and the stubbornness in it is unprecedented. On the other hand, my Capricorn, on the subject of the relationship, should you take other measures? Think it’s a serious relationship and it’s heading to the absolute dominance of love. Your own perfectionism and diligence, leaves your partner undone and looking for you every day even a word of love and caught by your move. Time to leave your business aside, it is a pleasure for them to put in your vocabulary “my love”, “my baby”, “my worship”. “I love you”…
The overturning for you is all. From Earth you will pass in the air with so much ease. Your mind runs twenty-four hours a day and you want to live in your own world, the one you live in even when a relationship is serious. You want to put your mate in your own exclusive world and from the cold to the heat. But you also need to think about the needs he has if he really wants to follow this magical world and travel to the moon, or if he prefers to stay on safe earth.
You may have the opportunity to dream constantly and to create what you want even in a sure relationship, but this will become very tedious if you do not show from the beginning a way you will follow. The paths and turns that you seek continuously, stun and leave a state strange, unclear and not leading to something essential. Since you are a sign that constantly creates images in your mind, why do not you create the ultimate relationship, since you can do it? But be careful. Based on your partner’s needs.


If you've seen the trailer for this movie, you may assume that you already know the plot, from beginning to end credit. You would be correct. In fact, the storyline not only follows that of similar movies, but is virtually identical to the "this, that and the other" plot in Seinfeld, when Jerry and Elaine decide to resume their sexual relationship for recreation, with rules to make sure that no emotional ties develop.
In this movie, Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis' Dylan and Jamie do the very same thing, but, surprisingly the funny script makes the result much more than a predictable cliche.
We're treated to extended scenes of the two friends negotiating and directing their sexual escapades to hilarious effect. With no need to be loving and kind they can critique technique and bark orders at each other with abandon. In a way, as lovers unburdened by fake sincerity and tender artifice, they seem like more honest partners than most couples are to one another and one can easily imagine that makes their sex all the more enjoyable -- and intimate, in a non-intimate way -- because there are no white lies or barriers between them.
As pals, they enjoy sports, social gatherings and gossipy phone calls together. Sex is only part of what we see develop into a full-fleshed relationship. We like them, they like the other. When the inevitable happens and they become romantically involved, in the end it doesn't end up too mushy -- but we wouldn't mind that much if it did. They deserve it.
There are some sub-plots where we see that Dylan and Jamie's emotional distance is caused by their dysfunctional family backgrounds. Jamie never knew her father and her wacky mom, Patricia Clarkson, doesn't seem to have known him very well either -- if she even remembers which suitor he was. Dylan's father suffers from Alzheimer's, further saddling a family that has never healed from the mother's abandonment years earlier. It's nice to try to give the lead characters roots, but I'm not sure that their personalities needed to be explained or rationalized. So, neither has had an enduring romantic relationship. They're still in their twenties. I don't think that makes them emotionally damaged, as the movie posits. Perhaps, it makes them wise.
The movie is smart, funny and a fun romp, whether Jamie and Dylan are in or out of the sheets.

“Conformity begins the moment you ignore how you feel for acceptance.” ~Shannon L. Alder
What is love like these days? Ask a stranger what their take on love is, and they might give you a series of answers. They might say, that love is the feeling of a warm blanket and a hot cup of coffee on a cold morning, or love is the phone call of a loved one when they’re feeling low, or that love is having a pizza out of a box with friends while watching a trashy rom-com, or that love is the feeling of finding joy in the joy of others. It gets different when we think of romantic or intimate love though, then the answers don’t flow out so easily. Someone might say, that love is that feeling of knowing that your significant other is the one, or love is finding them attractive despite their flaws and shortcomings, as they accept your own, or that love is enjoying how they make you feel so much, that the two of you can do absolutely nothing, and still have fun. The pure, unconditional kind of love.
Amidst all the cheesy movies, the deep poetry, the songs about heartbreak, the couples outside on Valentine's Day, and the people swiping on Tinder at 9 pm on a Friday night, the idea of romantic love has changed over the past 50 years. Ironically speaking, even though our population is higher than it ever has been, and technology and the internet have given us the means to be more connected with each other, finding love has never been more difficult. Forget love, even finding company or friendship has never been more difficult. Reports show that in today's world, with us being more digitally connected than ever, an estimated 33% of the world's population is lonely, with numbers ranging from country to country. Individuals aged 18-24 were found to be the highest group that reported loneliness, with nearly 60% revealing negative effects on their well-being from feelings of loneliness. Social isolation and loneliness plague our cities across the world, flooding our social media feeds with what our lives can be, and who can accompany us.
What is settling in a relationship?
Definitions are limited, and language is limited. However, for the purpose of this article, having a general concept of the subject is helpful. The typical definition of settling as per various relationship coaches, sex and marriage therapists, and clinical psychologists can be described as a situation where someone is ready to accept less than what they want or feel like they deserve. To be more specific, settling is when someone's wants, needs, expectations and deepest desires aren't being met in their relationship, and yet they choose to stay. While there are many reasons why someone may be settling for what they have, a common one is the belief that they don't deserve anything other than what they have, or that this is all they are capable of having. In most cases, someone might settle due to an aversion towards being single again, i.e. fear of loneliness.
People settle in a relationship because it’s easy. Why wouldn’t they? When you’ve spent years of your life with one person, building a foundation of trust, loyalty, and partnership, it only makes sense to keep things going as they are, even if that means putting love on the back foot. After all, breaking up means going back into the dating world and starting from scratch all over again, going through the process of putting yourself out there, whether physically or through online dating. If you've ever had bad experiences with online dating, you know what I'm talking about. Then, it’s the process of getting to know someone and finding out if they’re the one, which is often much easier said than done. All of this requires effort, which is nothing short of a gamble for someone in their 30s, 40s, or even older. That’s the age where people typically think about having a family or growing their family. Is finding love at that age too far-fetched of an idea? Maybe. Should it be discounted? Maybe not.
When it comes to ‘settling’, it’s difficult for someone to look at another couple from a third-person lens and say that the love has just ‘faded away’. Different people and different couples have their own ways of expressing love, and so this is not a judgmental claim about who is in love and who is settling. That is a question only the people in the relationships can ask themselves. Many times a couple experiences strong attraction and infatuation with their partners during the first few days, weeks, and months of the relationship, typically known as the honeymoon phase. With time, however, the colour may start to fade away and they start looking for new ways to get excited. New distractions to keep things fresh. Some couples choose to get a pet, some choose to have kids. Some choose to invest towards a new house, car, marriage, the list goes on. While these are all important milestones to work towards, they aren't antidotes to a dry relationship. Getting a house makes sense from a financial perspective, but often it’s one of the many variables that can tie a couple together, even when the love begins to fade away.
This is why when asked about the thought of separation, the couple might say that there are too many responsibilities in the mix, too many variables tying them together. Kids, houses, assets, and families are all important factors that, when combined, can make separation all the more difficult. These variables then motivate people to just keep on going, to remain in the relationship even when they are settling. One way to deflect this is by saying that what they're doing is for their kids because separation can take a toll on the kids. While this may be true, it's a bandaid that won't fix any pre-existing problem, but rather make it worse over time in the form of arguments, disagreements, and fights. Statistically, this is reflected in the number of instances of cheating and divorces in relationships, which have proportionally grown over the past 50 years.
According to a 2021 survey that interviewed over 400 people of different ages and backgrounds, nearly 50% of respondents in monogamous relationships confessed to having affairs outside of their relationships. An affair in this case includes but is not limited to instances of one-night stands, emotional infidelity, online flirting, or a strong desire for someone else. The Institute for Family Studies (IFS) sought to find out cheating rates among men and women between 2010 and 2016, revealing that 20% of men and 16% of women confessed to cheating while married. When asked about why they cheated, common responses included:
Interest in trying specific sexual activities never achieved with their partner
Low or declining relationship satisfaction
Little to no romantic love
Solitary desire for a new individual
The same can be said for divorces. According to the United Nations handbook, the global divorce rate in 2021 amounted to 1.8 divorces per 1000 people so approximately 500 couples. While divorce may have many other variables in the mix such as regional and legislative differences, relationship problems similar to the ones mentioned earlier are significant contributors. Fighting may be common in relationships, and many claim that it can also be healthy in relationships. However, when fighting becomes a pattern to the point where one or both partners become desensitised to it, dismissing it by saying it's nothing more than a part of the relationship.....is negligence.
The Case for Ethical Non-Monogamy
We're wired to behave in a way that aligns with how we've been conditioned in our lives. Growing up, we're told by everyone around us about what's right and wrong, what's acceptable and unacceptable, what's normal and what's weird. Monogamy in relationships is one of the many forms of conditioning that we're exposed to, which then affects our relationships. Movies and media show us that everyone is destined to find one true love, one soulmate who is perfect for us. This paints an unrealistic picture of what one can expect from another human being, a high standard of expectation that can become difficult to meet. This isn't necessarily wrong, but rather limited.
A monogamous relationship is when someone is committed to one person at a time, whether dating or married. When people think of the idea of non-monogamy, the general perception is about having an open relationship, where people are having sex with multiple people at a time, also known as polyamory. However, polyamory is only one type of non-monogamy, and is more than just physical attraction and behaviour. It's possible to develop emotional intimacy with someone else as well, even if nothing physical arises out of it. Ethical non-monogamy (ENM), also known as consensual non-monogamy is an umbrella term used to describe any situation where someone has more than one romantic or sexual partner at a time, with everyone involved being aware and enthusiastically consenting to the dynamic. It's this core idea that separates ENM from cheating because ENM relies on strong transparency, open communication, and consent. It's also important to note that ENM is not a 'new' concept. Non-monogamy has been practised in ancient and indigenous societies throughout time. It's only due to various societal, political, and religious regimes that Western conquerors used to put forward a narrative where church-sanctioned marriages between one man and one woman were considered the only acceptable relationship format required for a 'functional society'. Granted, we've evolved since then and there are numerous other benefits that come with being married, but marriage is also one of the many labels we may use to describe relationships. We live in a world where factors like age, gender and race don't limit someone from finding lasting relationships, at least in most countries and societies. If we accept that these people can love and do what they want, how is this any different?
We're not going to talk about all the different kinds of ENM as that would require a whole article in itself. Instead, it's useful to explore how ENM can help relationships where the partner/s may feel like they're settling. For instance, a couple open to trying ENM may start off by communicating and agreeing on what they want and don't want. We all have certain criteria of traits that we look for in an ideal partner or friend. For some, these may be primarily physical such as height, muscle tone or other physical qualities. For others, it may be emotional such as a good sense of humour, financial stability, emotional maturity, and so on. For most people, it's a mix of both, and while we may not know what traits exactly we look for, we do have them, because it's these traits that influence who we decide to have in our lives as friends and partners.
Since no one is perfect, expecting one individual to check all these boxes is an unrealistic expectation to have, especially since we don't carry this expectation with any of our other relationships. For instance, we maintain a certain relationship with our colleagues at work, our friends from school, our close friends, and the local barista at our favourite coffee shop. Each of these relationships brings out a different part of ourselves, a persona that we reveal because we have different boxes being checked at each interaction. We don't expect one individual or interaction to encompass the whole of ourselves, except for with our romantic partners. Why?
We don't know what we don't know. We also don't necessarily know if we'll like or dislike something without giving it a try, or being open to the possibility of something coming out of an experience that may improve an already strong relationship. ENM in its nature is not tied down by the individual's inhibitions. Instead, the partners can openly engage in what they truly desire, without giving up what they have. This is where the idea of compersion comes in. Compersion can be described as sympathetic joy, the feeling of euphoria, love, enjoyment, and happiness when you see someone close to you feel happy. Compersion as a term is typically used in cases of ENM but I believe it applies everywhere, and is the antidote to envy or jealousy. Think of the feeling of seeing your best friend be ecstatic, happy, and overjoyed as they receive love from someone or something. Now imagine that for your partner. Where are the limits?
This isn't to say that all ENM relationships exist due to a pre-existing deficit in a relationship. This isn't a competition between monogamy and non-monogamy. It's not a game to see which one's better because ultimately it boils down to what works for you. People may have multiple reasons for trying ENM. The goal here is not to limit love but to expand it. For instance, a couple may fully be in love with their partner and be open to sharing that love with other people. This could be due to compersion, curiosity, or pretty much any reason.
For all the monogamous couples out there that are happy in their relationship with all their boxes checked, more power to you. However, we don't know what may work for us and what may not work for us, until we try it, or even talk about it. Labelling concepts as 'taboo' or 'unacceptable' only conditions us further to do things in one way forever, limiting ourselves to the possibilities that may make us happy.
Open that door, and see where it takes you.
I offer my sincere gratitude to my close friend Denzel Byrne for joining me on this episode.


Parents splitting up can be a mess but what’s certain is that maintaining strong bonds with both mum and dad is vital for kids.
There’s no way to sugarcoat the effects of relationship breakdown on children, a sad and all-too-frequent fact of modern life.
What happens after a partnership between parents is finished, in terms of where the child or children live and who they spend more time with, can be crucial to the development of your child’s mental and physical wellbeing.
In many situations, there are court orders in place regarding custody arrangements but what is clear from a lot of research is that a child’s “outcomes” are significantly better for those subsequently raised in shared parenting situations, versus those who experience sole physical custody arrangements with one parent following a relationship breakdown.
A US professor of Adolescent and Educational Psychology, Dr Linda Neilsen, reviewed 54 studies on the subject to assess childhood outcomes on the basis of academic achievement, emotional health (anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life satisfaction), behavioural problems (delinquency, school misbehaviour, bullying, drugs, alcohol, smoking), physical health and stress-related illnesses, and relationships with parents, stepparents, and grandparents.
The most salient results of her review included:
- The finding that even very young child – infants and toddlers – had closer bonds with both mum and dad if the parents shared overnight stays;
- That even if there remained a level of parental conflict, childhood outcomes were still better if joint parental custody was observed;
- Maintaining strong relationships with both parents could offset the negative impacts of parental conflict or poor co-parenting, reducing a child’s stress, depression and anxiety.
“Independent of parental conflict and family income, children in shared physical custody families – with the exception of situations where children need protection from an abusive or negligent parent – have better outcomes across a variety of measures of well-being than do children in sole physical custody,” wrote Neilsen.
In a best-case scenario, parents after a relationship breakdown who can no longer live together will find their way to a civil, calm and productive way to co-parent children in separate locations. But as quite a lot of research has found, even if co-parenting arrangements can’t be characterised as civil and calm, children maintaining strong bonds with both parents that involve spending quality, overnight time with both of them, is better than not seeing one parent at all.

Here are some ways to teach your kids gratitude:
1. Model gratitude: Children learn by example, so it’s important to model gratitude in your own life. Expressing gratitude for the little things in life can go a long way in teaching your kids to do the same.
2. Model generosity: Encourage your children to be generous with their time and resources. You can model this behavior by volunteering together or donating to a charity. Volunteering as a family can be a great way to teach your children about gratitude and the importance of giving back to the community. You can also empower them by encouraging them to choose a place to volunteer at or donate to.
3. Tell your kids you are thankful for them: Let your children know how much you appreciate them. This can help them understand the importance of expressing gratitude.
4. Have a positive attitude even when life is hard: Life can be tough, but it’s important to maintain a positive attitude. This can help your children learn to be resilient and appreciate the good things in life.
5. Have them write thank you cards: Encourage your children to write thank you cards when they receive gifts or kindness from others. This can help them learn to express gratitude in a meaningful way.
6. Involve them in chores: Assign age-appropriate chores to your children. This can help them learn responsibility and the importance of contributing to the family. Encouraging your children to help out around the house can help them learn to appreciate the work that goes into maintaining a home.
Remember, teaching gratitude is an ongoing process. By modeling gratitude and encouraging your children to express gratitude in their own lives, you can help them develop a lifelong appreciation for the good things in life.


I’ve written before about the innovative halachic prenup, and its effectiveness in preventing get abuse. Both husbands and wives would be financially penalized for each day they refuse to give or receive a get.
The halachic prenup has become a standard part of pre-wedding preparations in modern orthodox circles. While there has been some pushback against the contract in haredi circles, and it usually isn’t a standard part of haredi wedding proceedings unless the couple requests it, I haven’t heard of the halachic prenup being declared assur until now.
Yeshiva World News published a decree from Eida Chareidis Ravaad HaGaon HaRav Moshe Sternbuch, in which he publishes a lengthy responsa adamantly opposed to the halachic prenup.
Rav Sternbuch feels that the halachic prenup is a break from acceptable tradition and that it can compel a husband to unjustifiably give his wife a divorce. If the husband feels forced, because of the financial penalty, to give a divorce, it won’t be a valid get.
He also mentions, that the halachic prenup destroys the institution of marriage because in the past, if a man refused to give a get, the woman would be more likely to give up her demand for a divorce and go back to the marriage. Now, with the husband being forced to comply, the divorce is more likely to happen.
Ummm….yeah, that’s kind of the point of the halachic prenup.
Rav Sternbach is urging gedolim in Israel and America to sign against the halachic prenup, as in his opinion, divorces based on the document are invalid, and will lead to mamzerim.
If half of the orthodox world accepts the prenup, and the other half doesn’t, that will affect the ability of divorced women to remarry or have their second marriages accepted as valid. The resulting children from such second marriages will be considered mamzerim by the population that doesn’t hold of using a halachic prenup.
Since many of us in the modern orthodox world aren’t strangers to the phenomenon of our kids becoming more haredi, our children could be affected by the rejection of the halachic prenup. If a woman divorces with the assistance of a halachic prenup, remarries and has children with her second husband, those kids could be categorized as mamzerim and be unable to marry within the haredi system.
As more couples with halachic prenups divorce and remarry, this will become an issue that will cause a major rift between the different orthodox factions.
Why is it that rabbis are working so hard to find reasons to nullify any advancements that can benefit women and prevent men from holding divorce over their heads? If it was the woman who held the keys to divorce, they would be bending themselves into pretzels trying to find a way to free men shackled to a dead marriage. Even now, if a woman refuses to receive a divorce, a man can still remarry with the signatures of 100 rabbis. Where are the kulas and loopholes for women?
If there is a problem with the amount of the monetary fine set forth in the halachic prenup, so change the amount. Why nullify the document altogether when it might prevent even one woman from becoming an aguna? Is it really better for a woman to return to a marriage she finds loathsome than to divorce? Is that what our tradition of marriage is all about – marriage at all costs?
I was telling my husband the other day that I don’t believe a long marriage is an indication of a good marriage. There are plenty of white haired couples slicing a 50th wedding anniversary cake in front of smiling friends and family who have been miserable their entire marriage. The high point is that anniversary party where they can feel quiet satisfaction that they martyred themselves for the sake of their family. It makes everyone so much more comfortable when mom/dad/bubby/zayde remain married and act like they’ve been happy.
That’s the real marriage tradition – suck it up.
People might argue that couples divorce too quickly nowadays. We shouldn’t make the process so easy – maybe if divorce is costly and difficult couples will rethink their decision. Is that what is truly best for our children – unhappy parents either viciously fighting or living under an uneasy truce that threatens to break at any moment?
In my observations and experience, women don’t ask for a divorce on a whim. That’s part of the whole stereotype about women being flighty, hormonal, and quick to change our minds. In the orthodox world, the social and financial cost of divorce is still steep. I would venture a guess that by the time a woman finally asks for a divorce, she’s already been working up the courage to do so for a quite some time, perhaps even years.
The declaration against the halachic prenup indirectly endorses men to withhold a get, by stating that doing so has compelled many women to return to the marriage, as if that’s a good thing. By financially penalizing a recalcitrant husband, the entire system of withholding a divorce and coercing the wife to return is toppled. Obviously, this was a mainstay method to uphold the traditional marriage system, and it’s now being threatened by the halachic prenup. We need to put the fear in women that they will become agunos in order to discourage them from seeking to divorce.
If that’s the acceptable tradition the halachic prenup is ruining, more power to it.

“It’s taking over” (Akon Voice).
Lately I have began noticing how common dating online has become. Not to say it was not popular in the past, it most likely was, I just find that many of my close friends and co-workers are and have turned to the internet for love. Unfortunately I just cannot seem to bring myself to set up a profile.
Firstly paying for any online dating site in my opinion is ridiculous having a computer match my likes/dislike to someone else is to much for me. But it is a good way of ensuring that the participants are probably looking for a serious relationship? I mean if you pay a dating site then get some one night sex aint that prostitution? Hah! eHarmony pimping humans out!
I know what your saying…:Dwayne there are plenty of free dating sites”…true. But let’s be honest Those are just full of thirsty dudes. And I can’t send a message to a girl that doesn’t know me knowing she probably has over 100 messages in her inbox from other guys, sorry just can’t. A female friend of mine had 164 unread messages from men all trying to sex/date/love etc.
Geeeezz nah no thanks…I’ll stick to looking at females in close proximity and never approaching them hah!
This is just a phenomena I will have to sit out.
What do you think yay or nay?


THE PLEASURE OF TRAVELING, as a couple is unlike any other experience. You are not traveling alone, nor are you traveling with a group of friends. 온라인카지노
It goes beyond that. You’re traveling as a group, so you get to share all of your experiences (including the negative aspects of travel) with someone else.
It’s about experiencing new places and sights together for the first time.
It’s about making memories you’ll remember for years to come, knowing you shared them with each other.
The EHT employs a technique known as Very Long Baseline Interferometry, or VLBI.
This essentially means that radio observatories from around the world will be combined
Into a single virtual Earth-sized telescope.
It is the highest resolution technique available in astronomy.
Astronomers spent nights in April 2017 pointing these telescopes at Sagittarius A* and other supermassive black holes in other galaxies.
That is when they obtained the famous image of the black hole at the center of the galaxy M87
Which they published in 2019. M87 is 55 million light years away from us and has the mass of 6.5 billion suns.
Was it the right decision?
Definitely! Choosing to travel together was one of the simplest decisions we’ve ever made.
People warned us that traveling as a couple would “make or break” our relationship, and I can see why.
You’re with the other person all the time, and you really get to know them on a deeper level.
There is no hiding who you truly are. It can be difficult for some people, but our trials have only strengthened us.
Compromise is the most important factor in making couples travel work.
Despite the fact that Elise and I have similar interests, we frequently give and take with one another.
Not only does compromising allow your partner to do something they really want to do, but it also exposes you to
Another side of travel that you might not have seen otherwise. That is what couples travel is all about.
It’s about doing things with and for your partner
It’s unavoidable, however, that you’ll have to fight at some point.
When Elise and I have disagreed, it has usually been over trivial issues. The best way to resolve an argument is to talk to each other honestly and listen to what your partner has to say. 카지노사이트
You have time to make a decision, and there’s no need to exaggerate anything.
The best way to try to solve problems is to nip them in the bud before they get out of hand. Communication is essential in any healthy relationship.
We’ve discovered that the root of most of our disagreements is that one of us simply needs some “me” time.
There’s nothing wrong with wishing for some alone time. Doing your own thing for a while helps you appreciate the other person and see things from their point of view.
Even if you haven’t been fighting with your partner, spending a few hours alone can make all the difference.
Couples travel, on the other hand, provides a great deal of support.
When you’re sick or tired, your partner will help you get out of a rut, cheer you up, and get back on your feet.
When you need someone to talk to and want to share your deepest fears and sorrows, your partner will be there.
You get to see each other in a different light and learn more about each other than you would otherwise.
You’re each other’s little piece of home, which is great to have around.
Traveling together improves the quality of time spent with your loved one.
Because you’re with someone all the time, there’s always time to laugh, chat, and play.
You’re able to appreciate the little things together. Waiting for a bus for 12 hours can feel like only five minutes.
In any case, traveling as a couple is an unforgettable experience.
It binds you together and brings you closer; it’s something special you both share that will truly last a lifetime.
Anthony is one half of Positive World Travel’s dynamic duo.
He and Elise will both be writing about their experiences and thoughts on what it’s like to travel long-term as a couple. 카지노 블로그


When dealing with so many people in the real estate industry, it is, ultimately, all about relationships. Relationships with your clients, with other agents, etc. It’s about relating to people in different ways. It’s about trust, communication, courtesy and respect. I genuinely like my clients and enjoy helping them, and this helps them to relax and enjoy the process of buying and selling. With other agents, I know we can learn from each other and ultimately support each other in business.
There are even relationships with properties. I was recently showing properties to one of my clients, and she told me that she liked the home, but she didn’t love it. She didn’t have the right relationship with it. I have discovered that, most often, a buyer will instantly fall in love with a home, and that will be it. It will click with them in some way, feel right, look just right, etc. It feels real good to be in on that first meeting!


The easy response is indeed, if the pair settles on everything it would certainly be an uncontested divorce which does not need going to court in Alabama. An uncontested divorce where you live, is when a pair comes together to create some type of contract in regard to their divorce. This sort of divorce is a lot more straightforward, prompt and much more cost effective than an object to divorce. The largest difficulty in a divorce is having the pair settle on whatever, as well as in the event that the pair does concur, the divorce process can be rather simple and also quick.
An opposed divorce is when both events can not come to an agreement and also either one or both events dispute the divorce. On the other hand, an uncontested divorce is where both celebrations come to an agreement before applying for the divorce. In case that both celebrations settle on every little thing, the divorce is uncontested as well as only requires a few easy steps to have the divorce finished. Not only are uncontested divorces far more time efficient than disputed separations, they are much cheaper also.
In lots of circumstances divorce attorneys will certainly use a solitary flat price for an uncontested divorce whereas an object to divorce commonly requires a retainer and a per hour rate which can become really costly. In order to complete an uncontested divorce Alabama regulation calls for both parties to admit to three no-fault premises. Initially, the couple deals with a conflict of temperament and can no longer live together. Second, that there has actually been an irretrievable breakdown of the marital relationship to where reconciliation would be not practical or futile as well as not in the family’s best interest. Third, both celebrations have to agree on the division of all marriage residential property as well as all commitments concerning any kind of children and also monetary support.
It is extremely typical for uncontested divorces to be resolved out of court. As a matter of fact it is not uncommon for the events to be able to declare a divorce without needing to meet a lawyer one-on-one. Divorce attorneys are currently able to submit a divorce online in Morgan County, Alabama. It is as straightforward as filling out a set of questions sent over to you by your attorney and paying the online fees. As soon as the attorney obtains the survey as well as the fees after that the divorce lawyer will certainly prepare your documents as well as send it to you to be authorized by both events. Once both celebrations have actually been authorized, the attorney will file it online. Once it is filed, the court will provide the divorce mandate within a month or two. You will certainly then obtain your divorce mandate by e-mail and the divorce process will certainly be full.


At the very heart of the effectiveness of every ministry or faith based leader is their relationship with God. One must have a dynamic, growing relationship with Jesus to be an effective, Christian leader. Our relationship with God is not always easy, not always good, not always on a high point. Yet, we also find that our relationship with God always has value, meaning and gives us life. These two to the point questions are essential for leaders to ask as they evaluate, rest in and advance their relationship with God.

A day of love surrounded by your beloved.
The smallest seconds carry the deepest moments. They carry the feelings of anticipation, excitement, love, and joy that is uncontainable. I am absolutely moved by the fact that I actually get to freeze those moments for someone to remember for a lifetime. It's the best feeling, and my favorite part about being a wedding photographer! When I'm shooting, I'm not just looking for an aesthetic, but longing and waiting for the second raw emotion breaks through the eyes of an individual. My work is executed with not only excellence, but passion and a love for people and art. I'd love nothing more than to celebrate with you on your wedding day! If you'd like to partner with me, fill out the forum below and let's chat!


Anthropology studies many topics including love. Why do humans feel love? What is the evolutionary advantage to pair bonding? What happens to the brain when couples are in a relationship?
Anthropologist Helen Fisher is interviewed about her research on couples for Valentines Day. Humans require pair bonding in order to raise healthy children and there may be chemistry to support this action. I found it interesting that couples in long-term relationships have a strong sense of calm compared to couples who are in short-term relationships, who feel a sense of "addiction". I wonder if many couples struggle to move on from the short-term relationship into a long-term relationship once the feeling of addiction wears thin.
"I’ve long maintained that romantic love is an addiction — a perfectly wonderful addiction when it’s going well and a perfectly terrible addiction when it’s going poorly," said Rutgers research professor Helen Fisher, a member of Human Evolutionary Studies in the anthropology department in New Brunswick.

There is conflicting data: A Chinese study in Seventy-eight patients with COVID-19-induced pneumonia identified smoking as a risk factor for progression of pneumonia. A study published by Lipi et al in the European Journal of internal medicine did not find an association between active smoking and disease progression: The authors of a study published in the Lancet respiratory medicine
speculated that the sex predisposition might be associated with the much higher smoking rate in men than in women in China . Of note, one study (DOI:10.1101/2020.02.05.20020107) found that although ACE2 expression was not significantly different between Asian and white people, men and women, or subgroups aged older and younger than 60 years, it was significantly higher in current smokers of Asian ethnicity than Asian non-smokers; This would suggest that especially asian smokers are at increased risk.
In contrast there is no study that shows that smoking in beneficial in COVID-19 infection. So stop smoking


So, I decided to meet my girl Jenna at the diner to catch up on things. But that twinkle in her eye told me that she wanted something else. That’s when she invited me to her place for a little hang out time. Only I knew what kind of afternoon she had planned and I wanted the same thing. It’s a good thing that I always carry my strap on with me in the car because I was gonna... READ MORE>>>

I’ve loved one person unconditionally. He’s the most caring, generous, charming and flat out the funniest guy I’ll ever know. He’s the greatest gift I’ve ever had that came from God; I call him Papa!
And no matter how old I get, no matter how often I stay out with friends, no matter how far I’ll move away with my husband, no matter how many children I’ll have, no matter how many grandchildren I will have.. I will still be your little girl.
You will always be the best guy for me. Thank you for everything and I love you till forever ends!
Happy Father’s Day 👨❤❤❤

If he misses you, he’ll call. If he wants you, he’ll say it. And if he cares, he’ll show it. If not, he can’t be worth your time because you’re obviously not worth this.

Dear First Church Folk,
Loving relationships are important to us. Whether within a family, amongst friends, or in a community, our connection with significant others assures us that we belong together. As we move closer to the season of Pentecost, we are reminded not only of the power of the Holy Spirit, but also of the intra-connectedness of the Trinity. The Trinitarian persons are not isolated and independent selves but have their personal identity in relationship.
To confess that God is triune is to affirm that God exists in community. Since God is love (1 Jn. 4:8), the relationship of Father, Son, and Spirit is grounded in love. Theologian, Daniel Migliore, expresses that the triune God is essentially a communion of persons in love, whereby God is “self-expending, other-affirming, community-building love.”
We are people of the God of community and, as such, being a loving community is also God’s will for people. We are social beings and we find our sense of identity through the relationships we have with others in our family, circle of friends, work places, congregation or wider community groups. These meaningful, respectful, and close relationships affirm that we belong together in those contexts. Read the rest of this entry »

I remember feeling very exited and nervous on my first day at work, my first day of leaving the protected world of college and entering into something verydifferent. We were put into batches of 25 each, all college passouts just like me, all eager to get started. We had fun during the first 3 months of so-called freshers training. No work, only play..
Thats when i met him, we became good friends. I really got along very well with him, we had great compatibility as friends. I knew he considered me to be more than a friend, not that he ever told me. I overlooked that fact because i never felt the same about him. We used to chat frequently from an internal messenger even though we used to sit in adjacent cubicles.
One day, just out of the blue he proposed to me during the chat, i mean come on, who does it this way, The worst thing was he expected me to say yes, eventually, even though i did not encourage him in any way. He wrote,”If you are worried about your parents, dont worry, we’ll convince them”. I was like, HELLO, where do my parents come in here? Dont you want to know whetehr i want to say yes or not?
Anyway, i wrote back with the standard line,”I am sorry but you have always been just a friend, nothing more than that. I just wish we would continue to be friends”. He said, “okay”, just okay. He didn’t talk to me for 3-4 days, we were really uncomfortable with each other, i tried to behave normaly, but he made it difficult for me, avoiding and running away from me. Finally things were normal and we were friends again, i guess he came to terms with the fact that presently there is going to be nothing more than friendship between us.
Over the next 1 year, he proposed to me almost 5-6 times, sometimes thorugh chat, sometimes on the phone. I could do nothing but laugh and avoid the topic. He literally fought with me a few times over the same issue. I couldn’t help it. I always wondered why I cannot feel more than friendship for him. He said he’ll never marry, he’ll never feel the same for any girl.
I know thats not the truth. People do fall in love again, and they do love with the same intensity, the same passion, it’s just about finding the right person. I believe in this. First love is difficult to forget, because we feel this way for the first time, every feeling is new.
Now he has found a girl he seems to be interested in though he pretends not to be. I admit, I do feel a little jealous, but come on, that’s natural isnt it?
I just hope everything works out for them and he loves some one with the same passion and intensity again…

AXEL || HE - THEY || SASSY
"Would you let me lead you even when you're blind
In the darkness, in the middle of the night
In the silence, when there's no one by your side?."
Hello, my name is Axel. I really love cats, food and everything about Norway. I hate insect, pineapple and annoying people. Well, I'm always sleepy, sarcastic, happy, with smile and kinda funny (?). My life dream is to have a job connected to art and live happily with my partner in Norway. If you wanna talk to me, just write me a note, I don't bite, I'm really nice person who likes to meet new friends.
I don't usually using they/he pronoun for CZ/SK people, because in my language it's bit weird for me. So if you wanna speak with me with Czech/Slovak language, don't be afraid to call me with she pronoun! But if you would accept me with he pronoun, that would be great too. <3
- well, where should I start? Leei, Leei is very kind, friendly, trustworthy girl. I met her on internet and we accidentally met irl! It's very funny story. She's very important to me, she is my bestfriend. I wanna thank her for staying always by my side. Also, Leei is very funny, so go watch her, she draws like a boss! ♥


1. Honesty The truth always comes out. Failure to be honest with your clients will eventually show through either in a discussion or an action and will ultimately cost you the trust and client you’ve worked so hard to secure. 2. Reliability You need to be reliable. If you say you are going to do something, you better do it. 3. Consistent Be consistent in your actions. You can’t do something right one time and then fail immediately after. You need to be consistent in your approach so that the potential client will feel confortable with you and therefore trust you. 4. Confident Finally, you need to speak with confidence. Someone that speaks with a hesitancy will have the other party start to question your ability or your motives. Ideally, a face-to-face meeting is the best approach for strangers to instill trust in you. To many, this is considered an “old school” approach, but nothing beats a personal touch. Video-conferencing is the next best thing if for whatever reason you are unable to meet your client face-to-face. Without trust, your chances of closing a deal decrease and the ability to create a long-term relationship with a client is greatly diminished. You might be able to sell one time, but you will not develop the kind of relationship that will garner long-term sales plus referrals.


Q. I really want my partner to come but he/she won't?
A. We suggest that you come on your own first. Sometimes the time and space to discuss the issues with an unbiased professional and find some new strategies for change can really help. From this first appointment you can then decide if you want to continue on your own or try a new approach with your partner.
Q. my partner is so dominating i'm worried i won't get a chance to speak?
A. Our psychologists have years of experience in dealing with all sorts of relationship dynamics and have the skills to structure the session so both parties can be heard equally.
Q. i'm coming because my partner wants me to but i'm worried my partner and the psychologist will gang up on me?
A. Our psychologists are unbiased, independent and hold both parties in equal regard. One partner will not be favoured over the other, with equal time being allocated to both partners.


“He was with you. He spent his birthday with you. You comforted him when we put our beloved dog down. I love this man enough to feel glad that he was able to find love at those times, though it wasn’t from where I wish it had been…Just like the old cliché, you believed he would leave me for you. But he didn’t. He let you down. Our daughter got older, stopped nursing and started sleeping. He began to see the woman he had fallen in love with all those years ago. He wanted to make it work with his wife, with his family. I bet that hurt for you. You had a choice. You could let him move on and try to make his marriage work, or you could take it all from him. You chose option two.
We tried hard to put the pieces back together but it just didn’t work. I was different. It was the little details that did it. Those words and images etched into my mind. I think you knew that they would. We are both ok now though, me and him. In fact, in a way we are closer than ever. We have learned so much about each other through this process. Though we have each moved on, we still have love and respect for each other, which has a positive effect on our little girl. No one will ever break that.
I hope you have moved on with your life too.
I hope that you have learned from this situation and that you can find some peace within yourself, as I have.


This Song Reminds Me of You Summary
This Song Reminds Me of You contains five short stories and two bonus stories that were all inspired by songs.
A Better Man- Delpina's three year relationship with her boyfriend Kiefer has been rocky. But when she decides to walk away from him for good, can she stand to stay away? Or can Kiefer prove to her that he can be the man that she deserves?
I Can Love You Like Nobody Can- Cecilia was sitting in a restaurant with her husband of six years when a beautiful woman walked by their table. Liam smiled at the woman, but he tells Cec that she is "nobody". Is Cec being paranoid or has Liam been fooling around?

Nobody But You- Jezebel screwed up her relationship with her husband Spence, and to make matters worse, she walked away from him when he needed her the most.

The Right Kind of Man- Forever is overweight. She hasn't had a date in a year and a half, but has what feels like a hopeless crush on her coworker Shiloh. He is gorgeous and she doesn't believe that he could feel for her the way that she feels for him. When Shiloh shows up on Forever's doorstep on Valentine's Day, can he prove to her that he can be the kind of man she no longer believes exists?

A couple agreement sample is a legal document that details the rights and responsibilities of a couple in a relationship. This document is designed to outline the couple`s expectations, preferences, and obligations towards each other throughout their relationship. It can be used to prevent misunderstandings, provide clarity, and maintain transparency in a relationship.
Couples can create their own agreement or use a sample agreement as a template to customize according to their needs. A couple agreement sample typically covers various areas of the relationship, including finances, living arrangements, household chores, communication, and personal boundaries. It may also include provisions on how to handle conflict, decision-making processes, and the terms of the relationship.
One of the most significant benefits of having a couple agreement is that it promotes mutual respect. By laying out expectations and preferences in writing, both parties are aware of what is expected of them, and they can work together to achieve a common goal. For couples who may have different cultural backgrounds, beliefs, or values, a couple agreement can help bridge the gap and promote understanding.
Another advantage of having a couple agreement is that it can help prevent disagreements. It provides a clear framework for the couple to refer to when a dispute arises. This can help reduce arguments and ensure that conflicts are resolved in a fair manner.
Having a couple agreement can also be useful for legal purposes. If the couple decides to get married or enter into a civil partnership, the agreement can be used as evidence of their intentions and expectations. In the event of a breakup, having a couple agreement can also help prevent a messy legal battle over property, finances, and other assets.
In conclusion, a couple agreement sample is an excellent tool for couples who want to protect their relationship and ensure that it remains healthy and strong. It provides a clear framework for communication, promotes mutual respect, and helps prevent misunderstandings and disagreements. Whether you are in a long-term relationship or just starting out, creating a couple agreement can be a great way to establish a strong foundation for your relationship.


From Rebecca Joy: There have been several defining moments over the course of my life, but few of them compared to the day I met Chris, The Bulb Hunter. Little did I know the whirlwind of activity that would follow our blind date in April of 2009.
From the first time my sister, Amy, saw Chris speak at The Arbor Gate in Tomball, Texas she knew that Chris would be a perfect match for me and worked hard to convince him of this fact. Amy went so far as to exclaim in the break room to other employees, I just met the man that my sister is going to marry!” It took a little stalking on Facebook, but Amy is nothing if not convincing.
The first time Chris called me from the cabin, a bluebird dove into the room, circled his head, and left. Something inside told me that Chris and I might just be perfect for each other, but I discredited those feelings as being my ultra romantic female sensibilities at work. His peculiar way of life and love for flowers fascinated me, and I couldn’t wait to meet him in person. During the several weeks leading up to our meeting, my stomach was in knots. Until I saw his face, that is. Although not love at first sight, it came pretty darn close.
