Last updated on: August 28, 2019 at 12:48 pm By Lesli White

An affair is the violation of the marriage contract that occurs when the spouse is replaced by someone or something else. It is one of the worst things that can happen to a marriage because it violates everything you’ve built with a partner in such a personal way.

7 Warning Signs of a Manipulative Partner

Last updated on: August 28, 2019 at 12:49 pm By Stephanie Hertzenberg

Manipulation is insidious. It makes you doubt your own perceptions and can keep you from even realizing that you are being manipulated. If you do manage to figure out that something is not quite adding up, that does not mean you can automatically shake off all manipulation. Manipulators are excellent at playing on your strongest emotions, and emotional reactions tend to bypass your better sense. A master manipulator could essentially tell you to your face that he is going to... Read more

Last updated on: July 15, 2019 at 12:09 pm By Guest Contributor

A fight between two people (lovers, spouses, family members) is a kind of psychological battle often filled with personal attacks, accusations, and dredging up past mistakes. When both parties are exhausted, or one grudgingly concedes, the fight ends – for the moment. But nothing has changed; resentment has just gone underground until it’s dug up again, and hostilities soon resume. But it needn’t be this way. There’s a little known “magic” that can stop any fight in the moment, and... Read more

Most of us have heard of an area in a hospital called the “ICU.” These three letters are an “acronym” that is an abbreviation for “Intensive Care Unit.” The ICU is a designated floor in a hospital where, due to a severe injury or sudden onset of a life-threatening health issue, one is taken to receive round-the-clock attention.

Just before a moment with another person starts “going south,” there’s a part of us that realizes something is about to go terribly wrong.
