When infidelity happens in a relationship, intimacy is often a major casualty. Intimacy is built on trust, and when that foundation is shattered by cheating, it can feel impossible to connect with your partner the way you once did.

Every couple argues, misreads each other, or talks past one another at times. However, the problem often isn’t what you’re saying, it’s whether you’re really listening.

We all have different attachment styles, formed from a very early age. Ideally, everyone would live with a secure attachment. That typically means you had parents or caregivers who met your needs and provided a sense of comfort and stability.

Money and finances have long been a topic of contention for far too many couples. Maybe you like to save and your partner likes to spend. Maybe you argue about what you should spend your money on.

As the old saying goes, breaking up is hard to do. That can feel especially true when you truly want to be with someone, but you keep going through a cycle of breaking up and making up.

Life is all about connection. As human beings, we crave connection and closeness with others.

Life before marriage often feels like a never-ending rollercoaster, with constant ups and downs and loops that may make you feel uneasy on your feet.

In relationships, the lines between innocent behavior and betrayal can sometimes blur. Why? Because everyone has different views on cheating.

Conflict in relationships is inevitable—differences in opinions, needs, and expectations will eventually surface, even in the healthiest partnerships. But it's not the presence of arguments that determine the success of a relationship; it's how those arguments are handled.

Do you ever feel like no matter how much you talk to your partner, you never feel as though they're hearing you? You may be having the same argument over and over again.

When couples step into the commitment of marriage, they often bring in a rich blend of dreams, desires, and expectations for how their marriage will be.
