Loving is really more about relationship partners giving of themselves and making sacrifices for each other, so as to keep their relationship thriving. Article:Romance novels, movies, and…See More

Can I Safely Be Myself with Him?

Abstract While it can feel safer to avoid expressing our true selves in a relationship, this is a risky strategy for anyone who wants to connect meaningfully. Acting pleasant and agreeable when we don't feel that way might help us get along superficially. But hiding our true feelings and needs from a partner causes distance and resentment. If we're basically compatible, by showing her or him who we really are we create a more satisfying relationship. Many of us hold back from expressing our…See More

How Being Vulnerable Fosters Great Relationships

As a therapist, I see a common self-defeating pattern in clients: they hold back from expressing their authentic selves — their true feelings, wants, and needs — to their relationship partner. By not communicating our true selves, we miss the opportunity to gain the kind of relationship we long for. We feel frustrated when we aren’t understood, don’t get our needs met, and don’t know what’s on the other person's mind. Communicating openly usually fosters a more emotionally and spiritually…See More

Does Marriage Cause Loss of Separate Identity?

Abstract: Many single men and women fear that marriage will crush their separate identity. This need not happen. A good marriage supports both interdependence and independence. We all depend on others in life for many things. Marriage is simply one way this interdependence happens. Yet we all want to have enough independence to feel alive, vital, and fully human. This article suggest ways to foster a great marriage, with spouses being relationship partners while also maintaining their their…See More
