Why?For most women who find out that their husband was cheating on them, the first question they ask themselves is, how could this happen? You may not have had any idea that your marriage was in trouble, or maybe you had asked yourself, is he cheating on me, and dismissed the notion as foolish, ridiculous, and unthinkable.

In many cases there are good reasons for the break up. In others, the emotional reasons are superficial leaving regret and pain on both sides after the break up. Sometimes a little ‘house cleaning’ and ‘goal setting’ can help a relationship. In many cases, I’ve found that a bit of relationship advice, and some insight into the other person can turn a floundering relationship, or marriage, into a renewed and passionate one.ARTArticleIs Love a Drug?What makes people fall in love? We find someone we are in love with, but two years later we wonder what we ever saw in them. No one can say this hasn’t happened to them, whether it was a high school crush or our first romance.

Our feelings are so strong that we don’t understand why ‘He doesn’t love me back’.ARTArticleIs your dog wondering if you'll ever come backHello again ,
One of the biggest reasons that dogs act up, whine, and chew
things up when you leave them alone for an extended period of
time is separation anxiety... and there's an easy fix.

to come home every time that they leave the house...
Are you treating every morning with your dog as though you're
dropping your parents, or your spouse off at the airport?
If you're giving them a long good-bye, with a lot of hugs and
kisses every time you leave them to go to work, they're goingARTArticleKeeping the Spark Alive in MarriageKeeping the Spark Alive in Your Marriager
If you ever find yourself in an airplane and suddenly, the air-mask falls from the ceiling; do you know what to do? An announcement breaks the silent fear of everyone around and commands that everyone must secure their air-masks immediately. If you are travelling with an infant, your default response is to secure the mask on your child first. You will be interrupted by the steward and asked to secure the mask on you first and then on the child. Why? Simply, because if you are not safe and secure; you will lose the ability to help your loved one.rARTArticleLearning to Accept YourselfToo many people are unhappy with their appearance, their abilities or their intelligence.

What goes wrong in a relationship that couples feel that they can't talk to each other anymore, not the way they used to anyway. Why do they need their own space? Why people develop their own mental islands where the spouse is not allowed? Seventy percent of all divorces happen in first five years of being married.

This article will focus on some of the key takeaways from the Symposium and how we can integrate this into our parenting.
Positive psychology finds its roots in the humanistic psychology of the 20th century, which focused heavily on happiness and fulfilment. It is the scientific study of the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive.ARTArticlePositive thinking can help you to survive infidelityBanishing negative thoughts requires replacement with positive thoughts, which is possible with practice. Learning basic breathing exercises and focusing on the act of breathing, may seem basic, but with regular practice is effective. Negative thoughts needed to be identified, written down, and focused breathing techniques used to distract the mind. For some women this negativity is life threatening, and counseling or psychiatric help may be the only solution.ARTArticlePost Divorce Dating - for BeginnersIt is very difficult making the transition from married to single. Post Divorce trauma can take years to overcome without the help of a coach or counsellor. Many people handle the emotions and rejection by withdrawing. Others step out into dating, often for the wrong reason. They are trying to fill a hole, to prove their worth, or to dull the pain of rejection.
There is no right or wrong time to start dating after a divorce is finalized.
