    Why You Need House Insurance
    House insurance is among the most important insurances you can get – and in the case of buildings insurance, most mortgage lenders make it compulsory. This is because your home is your biggest asset and if you lose it because of fire, flood or another disaster and you have a mortgage outstanding on it, there may be nothing tangible to repay back your mortgage with.There are two types of

    In my work with couples, certain themes have emerged that can help us understand how a couple that was once close can drift so far apart.

    How couples drift apart

    1) Life got in the way. Somehow, in the midst of the hustle and bustle of everyday life, couples seem to forget about each other. The initial closeness they once felt has been damaged by focus on work, the bills, the kids, you name it.

    2) Each takes the other for granted. This can slowly eat away at any connection a couple might feel. What makes it worse is that it is so very easy to do. Keeping priorities straight in our stressful lives can be very difficult. We get so caught up in simply living that we forget about making a life with our partner.

    3) Each stops treating the other well. Somehow we succumb to the notion that all the things we used to do that brought us together are no longer necessary. It's like the old joke about the couple that had been married for several years and one day the wife said to the husband, ``You never say you love me anymore!'' The husband responds with, ``Well, dear, I told you I loved you on our wedding day. If anything changes, I'll let you know.''

    4) Resentments are held. Old grudges, hurts and resentments are a cancer that can eat away at the closeness of a couple.

    5) Communication stops. This is the most frequent reason given by couples as a factor in their drifting apart. Once a couple stops communicating, it's just a matter of time before the roommate syndrome sets in.

    If you recognize your relationship in the above examples, hang in there; you are not alone and there is a way out. Couples don't plan on growing apart, they simply drift apart over time.

    Is Internet Dating For You - Some Things I Have Learned Along The Way
    Internet dating is a two-edged sword. I have met some very, very good friends on there, but I have also met psychos, inconsiderate men, men who don't have a clue, men who only want sex....you name it, I have gone out with "it."At first it was very exciting to have all these dates, get to know people and talk about your past experiences. Now, when I see a man on the internet I just wonder

    Minding Your Own Brand - Why Did The Relationship End?
    Recently a number of couples I know are getting a divorce. One relationship ended because one of them found someone who met their needs more than their spouse did and another marriage is ending due to lack of passion. A third couple is calling it quits not because of one particular issue, but instead because of a building up of many little things that went unresolved and turned into one big prob

    If you recognize your relationship in the above examples, hang in there; you are not alone and there is a way out. Couples don't plan on growing apart, they simply drift apart over time. Just the opposite is true about growing closer again. You don't just drift into it, you intentionally take action designed to grow closer together. Here are some tips from the couples I've worked with that have helped them grow closer again.

    How couples can get close again

    1) Have a conversation about how you first met and what first attracted you to each other.

    2) Talk about the times you have felt the most connected. Then list the things you did that helped create that closeness. Then do those things again.

    3) Mention something your partner did that you enjoyed. For example, "I loved it today when you gave me a break from the kids/ held my hand/ hugged me/helped me at the office, etc."

    4) Discover what your partner's "love language" is. Do they most need to see it, hear it, or feel it in order to feel most loved?

    If you don't know, ask.

    5) Ask your partner what their "perfect day'' would be like and then create as much of it as you can.

    6) Renew and/or rewrite your vows. Who says we can say these important words only once? Renewing vows, commitments and words of love can rapidly and powerfully bring a couple closer together.

    These are just a few suggestions for the road back to closeness and connection. I would love to hear from couples about how they have made the journey back to closeness after d
