Relationship Problems Have Warning Signs

Author: Abe Kass

Families are made up of individuals; men, women, and children. All members are interconnected. Imagine a family represented by a hanging mobile. Each member is a hanging object. When you tug on one object, it shakes the rest. The same is true in families. Each person’s moods, attitudes and behaviours influences those around him or her.

Depressed, angry or emotionally injured individuals are not islands unto themselves. They impact on everyone around them. Typically, individuals are the way they are because of what is happening (or has happened) between them and other people. For example:

Walls Of Communication!

Walls Of Communication!

Author: Dorothy Lafrinere

Matters of the heart are a true mystery to all involved. In order to

make a commitment to a relationship, it takes strength and trust in

another. When we trust our partner and we receive trust back, it is a

very nice feeling. One should never betray or play games with that

Attraction: Is It Worth It?

Attraction: Is It Worth It?

Author: Audrey King

The Common Scenario:

Your partner is hardly ever home to give you attention and when he is home, he’s preoccupied with his own routine. The two of you then start picking on the little things about each other. This makes you feel unappreciated and lonely; down on yourself.

One day, you’re running household errands after work and notice a male co-worker. He comes up to you and asks you to join him for coffee. You accept and the two of you talk and laugh. You then exchange email addresses and next thing you know, you’re looking forward to talking with him again and maybe even liking your job a little more.
