Abuse can affect the lives of people regardless of age, gender or social status. Although people most often associate abuse with physical violence, it can come in many different forms including verbal abuse. Because of the nature of verbal abuse, its damaging effects are often underestimated and misunderstood. This can be a problem for people who are the victims of it. In addition, it can make it difficult for people who suspect that a friend or loved one is being verbally abused. To help combat … [Read more...]
CelebrateLove ~ An Affirmation for Letting Go
July 11, 2014 by
I know that to the degree I am willing to give up my search for a healthy love relationship, I can have it. I know I can have whatever I am ready and willing to receive. Individual receptivity is everything. Without it, nothing changes. With it, all things are possible. I no longer insist upon my choice. I am willing to trust. I know that the only thing I lose when I let go of something I am afraid to live without is the fear itself. I am stronger than anything that frightens me! I let … [Read more...]
Do You and Your Partner Go to Bed at the Same Time?
June 21, 2014 by
Remember the beginning of your relationship, when you couldn’t wait to go to bed with each other to make love? The one thing distinguishing a good marriage is that couples go to sleep with each other and wake up with each other. When partners don't go to bed at the same time, they miss a critical time for connecting. This pattern is the equivalent of a huge lost opportunity for sustaining and nurturing your partnership. The bedroom should be used for sleeping, sexual intimacy, or even pillow … [Read more...]
‘Say Something ….’
May 8, 2014 by
As a relationship coach I often have clients who are having what most people consider the number one problem in relationships: Communication Issues. Or maybe I should say, poor communication skills. "Communication troubles can stem from childhood experiences, in which we may learn to “stuff” our feelings, blame others, blow-up in anger, “beat around the bush” instead of saying what we need, want, or feel, or otherwise experience--and imitate - counterproductive communication habits. Sometimes, … [Read more...]

‘Baseball Players = Team’, CelebrateLove.com
September 22, 2013 by
Baseball Players = Team Do baseball players play for the money? No. I don't think so. They Love the sport and the money comes from doing what they love to do. Not only do they love the sport, as a team they love each other. That was obvious to me when I listened to a player talk about his teammate, Paul Goldschmidt of the Arizona Diamondbacks after he hit a recent walk-off home run to win the game. They have great relationships with everyone on the team as well as coaches, managers, … [Read more...]
Married of Not, You Should Read This…a Must!
August 5, 2013 by
When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. 'I want a divorce'. I raised the topic calmly. She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, 'Why'? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at … [Read more...]

Date-Your-Mate
July 8, 2013 by
This is especially important if you are married! Once each week plan to spend some time together. I know. You have kids. It's easy to use your children as an excuse. Give it up. Hire a trusted friend to do an overnight and head for the "No-Tell Motel" to light the fire. Dinner dates are great too, but be creative and discover other options. Take a "hand-in-hand" walk. Visit an arcade and play some games. Think different! Put together a picture puzzle. Schedule a "Play Date" … [Read more...]
