Is A Cluttered Closet Damaging Your Love Life?

YourTango Experts tell us how to make space for love, in our closets and our lives.

It's up to you to choose what will occupy space in your life. Ask yourself one simple question: is this sweater, dress, old love letter, friend, belief, or attitude adding to your life in a positive way? If the answer is no, toss it. You may feel a pang when you throw away the pictures of an ex, or a favorite dress that no longer fits, or even a friendship that's more toxic than healthy, but you'll also feel liberated of the physical and emotional burdens those things bring.

How To Beat Anger And Make Relationship Conflict Work For You

YourTango Experts teach us how to get to the root of conflict and fight against anger.

Find us a long-term relationship that's never experienced conflict, and we'll check the sky for flying pigs. The feelings of anger and disappointment we feel when a loved one seemingly wrongs us can be consuming, even uncontrollable. But anyone who's lost his/her temper can tell you: getting angry and getting revenge never pay off; they never make us feel better, in the long run.

the word "no"

How Saying "No" Can Improve Your Love Life

YourTango Experts teach us how saying "no" can lead to a better love life.

When it comes to finding true, everlasting love it is very important to give up the good to go for the great. This often requires a person to say ‘no” when they feel compelled to say “yes”. Going against a person’s true desires and compromising one’s standards does not lead to the long-term, happy & fulfilling relationship that most desire.
