A personal experience with a young son reminds us to embrace growth and change.
A personal experience with a young son reminds us to embrace growth and change.
My husband and I took our son for his first official haircut when he was 15 months old. The trauma of the event was not significant, but the energy exchange during the event was decidedly intense. My son went from sitting on my lap and enjoying the process while my husband entertained him to the opposite end of the spectrum, screaming and struggling to be let down. As you can imagine, it was an emotional roller coaster for all three of us.
Are you yearning for someone to love? Or are you in love and want to be sure it will last and grow deeper and richer with time? These are wonderful goals—and so few people achieve them! You can be one of these lucky ones if you don’t fall into the hidden traps that make loving so difficult. For that you need to bring your understanding and practice of love to an entirely new level.
33% of people say getting a partner to change is a good way to reignite passion in a relationship.
When my husband requested a trial separation, his reasoning was that we weren't a good match anymore. He felt that we shouldn't have to compromise in order to find happiness, and that love should be easy. I briefly considered the fact that I might be married to a delusional maniac, then rejected the thought and explained to him that marriage was all about compromise. People change over time and, as a result, relationships must shift in order to accommodate that change. I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. According to the results of YourTango's Power of Attraction survey, 33 percent of people feel that "getting [their] partner to change" is a good way to reignite attraction. But should you even be together if you need your partner to change in order to be happy?

Do you find yourself repeating the same mantra about men day in and day out? It leaves your mouth in various forms, but you’ve got only one point: to release yourself from any responsibility and keep you safe and snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug without the worry of that pesky intimacy thing.
"There are no good men out there. I’m better off without a man. I don’t want any man who isn’t willing to accept me exactly as I am. All the men my age are old fuddy-duddies or want the young girls...." Blah, blah, blah.
Feeling sorry for yourself because you don't have Feb. 14 plans? Feel fantastic by focusing on YOU!
Where do you stand on Valentine's Day? Are you rolling your eyes at the Hallmark-esque commercials and feeling queasy at all the pink and red splashed everywhere?Chances are pretty good – thanks to all the advertising and silliness – that you’re keenly aware Valentine’s Day is right around the corner.
I used to call Valentine's Day “Singles Awareness Day.” Now that I'm married I couldn't care less about it.
Stop falling for the wrong person and have the relationship you really want.
Patterns are your automatic, default ways of being. They’re how you naturally react to circumstances in your life.

In June, I wrote a blog post
about my friend Kim who resolved to change her wanton ways in order to
better attract the loving, committed relationship she craves. Kim has
spent most of her thirty-plus years supplementing her life as a
brilliant, professionally successful dynamo with moments being a horny,
somewhat debauched wild child. Kim finally realized the romantic
patterns in which she has entangled herself keep her from the life she
wants. Now, she’s ready to change.
A few days after posting the blog, I got a comment from a reader who
thinks Kim’s desires to evolve are doomed. According to him, “how a

predict how they will live the rest of it.”
Ouch.
The letter got me thinking about all the people I know who’ve either
