The ability to compromise when we fight is the secret ingredient for surviving fights in our relationship. For more information and discussion on this topic be sure you are a subscriber to our relationship advice e-zine. That is our topic this week and we will also discuss how the ability to compromise is seen as a strength, not a weakness in the partners who make up a relationship.
All couples fight. Even in healthy happy relationships people disagree over a myriad of issues and beliefs. Tell us a time when you had to compromise in your relationship during a fight and how doing so brought you and your partner closer together.

This blog is going to get a little steamy, so be warned. Foreplay is a very important aspect of sex (and I am not referring to foreplay meaning whether Brett Favre will choose to play football in the Fall or not – lol). The purpose of foreplay is to get you and your partner in the mood for sex. Anything that serves this purpose is fair game (between 2 mutually consenting adults, of course).
Tell us if you also agreed with definition of foreplay. Come on now, we are all adults.

It never ceases to amaze me how people sabotage their relationships. It seems to me that we act before we think and this creates all sorts of troubles in our love life.
It would be great to hear how you found yourself sabotaging your relationship, and what you did to stop this pattern of behavior before it ruined your relationship.

This week’s relationship advice e-zine talked about the value of celebrating the diverse personalities we bring to our relationships. Relationships where both partners are very similar would be quite boring after a very short time.
Share with us how you and your partner have different personalities and/or character traits and tell us how you celebrate this diversity. Include any funny stories that reflect the diversity in your relationship.

Here we go again! Rick Pitino, the renowned basketball coach at the University of Louisville and gifted motivational speaker joins a long line of “role model” coaches and husbands who have allegedly committed adultery and come forward to beg forgiveness.
This relationship advice blog is not about Rick Pitino; it is not about Karen Shypher, the woman with whom Pitino had sex with back in August 2003, consensual or not. This blog is not about the Roman Catholic faith that Pitino claims he is so devoted to. This blog is not even about the University of Louisville!
This relationship advice blog is being written in support of MRS. Joanne Pitino and the five children who now have to endure the public scrutiny of her husband and their fathers’ indiscretions. My heart goes out to the family of Joanne Pitino. This woman has already endured the tragic death of two of her brothers. One brother died on 9/11 when the North Tower of the World Trade Center fell and another brother was killed in NYC in a car accident. The Pitino’s also suffered the lost of a 6 month old son.
After all this, Joanne Pitino now has to deal with the public scrutiny and private suffering due to her husband’s inability to remain faithful to his marriage vows.
Mrs. Pitino, my relationship advice expertise is open to you free of cost. It is unfortunate that I have had to help many couples throughout the years work through this terribly painful ordeal of attempting to work through and survive infidelity. My heart goes out to you and the work you will need to undertake for your own emotional survival and the decision you need to make as to whether or not you desire to stay married and allow your husband to remain a part of your emotional world.

In this week’s relationship advice e-zine we look at how the ability to keep our sense of humor and laugh at ourselves and each other is the glue that keeps our relationship together.
All relationships hit stormy seas. And one way or another, we have to find a way to navigate our relationship through these rough seas. We can choose to laugh our way through these difficult times, or be angry at the situation, our partner and/or the world.
Tell us about a time when your relationship hit some stormy seas. Did you use laughter and maintain your sense of humor to weather these storms? Share with us a way you and your partner laughed through a difficult situation in your relationship, even though the situation itself wasn’t really funny.

This week’s relationship advice e-zine topic is a loaded one. We discussed how to tell if you have crossed the threshold of having a friendship or being engaged in an emotional affair.
We all know when someone is openly flirting with us. They might hold our hand during a handshake for just a little to long or be just a little to complimentary to us. All you folks know what I mean. There is a feeling you get during these moments when little warning bells go off in our head.
Emotional affairs however, seem to catch us off guard, probably because they sneak up on us. What starts out as an innocent friendship transforms into an emotional affair.
Do you know anyone to whom a friendship, seemingly out of nowhere, turned into an emotional affair? And what did this person do about it?
