Relationships

I've found in my 20+ years of marriage how much communication differences are at the root of most of our issues. I don't have all the answer, but I've helped couples learn how to effectively  connect, find what can work better, move forward with love, or if need be move on with peace.

Who among us has ever had an ideal relationship? You know, the one we see in romantic comedies where it's always laughter and great sex? That's not reality. But finding out what may be missing in your relationship and how you can fix it is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself and your partner. And when the issue is that you're not getting your needs met, you learn how to recognize it, say what you need, and learn how to give each other what you can.

Beyond romantic relationships, friendships require similar amounts of dedication and nurturing. For those who are struggling to develop intimate relationships but want them, there are skills to be learned and fears to be overcome. It's worth it.
