Healthy relationships are essential to our physical and mental well-being, as they provide social support, reduce stress, and help us feel valued. A healthy relationship may look different for each person, but most healthy relationships share common characteristics.
A healthy relationship is one that makes both parties feel good. A healthy relationship is equal – not one-sided.
A healthy relationship is respectful – mutually respectful. A healthy relationship is honest – open communication.
A healthy relationship is loving – affection and caring for each other.
A healthy relationship is safe – healthy boundaries.
Do you have a very special someone or “friend” of the opposite sex that you share all your secrets with?

You might not realize it, but you have a romantic blueprint. We all do. It’s one of five romantic archetypes. You might be the Madonna type, who’s all about loving and giving. Or, you could be the opposite, the Cool Girl, who is more about loyalty and trust. In order to have the most fulfilling…
Are you just looking for a replacement relationship? I mean, what is that and how would you really know. Right? A replacement relationship is one that is not intended for the long haul and is merely established for the sake of convenience or timing. Things to ask yourself: *Do you find yourself searching madly for…
I don’t think there’s anything worse than being betrayed in ANY kind of relationship, whether it’s love, friendship, business or familial. Like I do mean — nothing worse. Did I mention nothing worse? Okay. Just checking. Betrayal is the selfish, evil enemy of loyalty. She’s the deceitful half-sister that wants to stab you with a…
Women always ask me, “Why do I keep dating jerks?” My answer often stuns them. “You’re probably making it happen,” I tell them. Sounds like tough love, and maybe it is. But there’s actually a deeper meaning behind it: We attract what we think we deserve. And what we think we deserve is usually rooted…
I’m issuing some serious doctor’s orders today. Ready? Here it is. Have more sex. Hug more. Kiss more. Make more time for intimacy. Can you handle that? I hope you’re up for the challenge because these actions do more than you might realize. You already know that they make you feel good (ok, amazing!) physically,…
