The Four Necessary Pieces Of Any Happy Relationship
I recently had a discussion with a very insightful woman about what she feels to be the four building blocks of any relationship – all of which must be in place for the relationship to work. I like to think of these as four quarters you would attempt to trade in for a dollar – without…
Read MoreRelationships Are Not Easy, But They Are Worth It
I feel as though a lot of people who read my articles are under the impression that I am suggesting eventually someone is going to come into their life and every puzzle piece will simply pop into place. Doves will fly out from behind you, a chorus will follow you around on every date, you…
Read More8 Signs Your Relationship Is Built To Last
I was watching an old dating show recently that was almost like ‘The Dating Game’ where someone would choose a contestant based on their credentials (for lack of a better term), and then narrow down one person of the three to go on a date with. More than once, the people decided to not even…

On the flip…
Read MoreIt Goes Both Ways: Why Everyone Can Be Romantic

June 5th, 2015 was the 2 year anniversary of this blog’s inception. During its growth and development I have had much feedback on my articles, both good and bad.
