A friend’s husband told her early in their relationship that there was no need to fight. He said, “Everyone tells you to learn to fight fair. But I say, we don’t fight at all.” Always a coward in the face of conflict, she thought that was great.

One of the most common traps I see couples fall into when they are upset with each other is the… “A, but B, but A, but B”… conversations.

Each gets fixated on getting through to the

We've all had one of those days. And when we do, our attention seems to stay fixated on whatever bad is going on—a stubbed toe, a rude comment, a fearful thought, etc. Yes, these are all inconveniences, even painful at times.

Do you make excuses for others’ uncaring and disrespectful behavior toward you to avoid losing them? I grew up with two parents who constantly lacked caring for my feelings and frequently treated me with deep disrespect.

Is it wise to accept free psychic readings? by Rosemary Price You may think it is wise to accept anything which does not come with a price tag, but how wrong that would be.
