Where do you begin when you’re struggling with a relationship? Whether it’s with a friend, family member, or romantic partner there are some tried and true places to start sorting out your feelings and making a plan for reconnection.

Many questions of normalcy arise when one’s sex life feels dull or boring. One might worry that they are not sexually compatible with their partner or that they will never experience amazing sex again. Is boring sex something to accept or a sign of a problem?

In relationships you’re on this adventure with other people. To get the energy to make it through the hardships, it’s essential to know how to give and receive gold coins.

Let’s take a break from trying to change something about ourselves and instead take a month to recognize what is already good, wise, and lovable about ourselves and our lives.

When we feel betrayed or abandoned by someone close to us, it can create an attachment injury/ wound.  When these wounds get rubbed, we often have big reactions that we didn’t see coming.

Attachments are the relational and emotional bonds between people. The bonds we formed with our caregivers when we were young, set the stage for how we connect in adult relationships, especially our intimate relationships.

I have been thinking about my overarching ideals/relationship goals. These apply to all kinds of relationships, friends, coworkers, parents, children, romantic, etc.

It’s helpful to know what messages we tell ourselves over and over again. Those stories become well worn paths and it can be hard for our brain to see anything else.

This letter is not about how to squeeze more time out of the day, it’s about how to keep your relational integrity even when you’re busy.

What can you do to honor a day of love and foster thriving relationships the other 364 days of the year?
