March 9, 2018 by
Being in a relationship is being in a partnership. That partnership exists on the basis that you both improve each other’s lives.

February 24, 2015 by
On the hit TV show, "Elementary," Sherlock, after lots of banter back and forth with his shrink, his psychiatrist abruptly said, "Hour's up!" and handed him a prescription.

A friend is someone you know well and care about, who also knows and cares about you. We need more people like this in our lives. Great friendships improve all aspects of our lives. When you … [Read more...]
