Love. We throw the word around so often that it’s easy to forget just how many forms it can take. We love our partners, our best friends, our families… even our pets and late-night snacks (because, let’s be honest, pizza is a love language). But did you know the Ancient Greeks had different words to…
You never expect to hear the words, ‘I think we should open our marriage.’ Maybe it comes out of nowhere, or maybe you’ve sensed something shifting for a while. Either way, it’s a moment that can send you into a spiral of questions, emotions, and—let’s be honest—panic. But before you let worst-case scenarios take over…
Alright, let’s get one thing straight—narcissists aren’t just arrogant people who love their own reflection. Oh no, they’re way more complicated than that. Beneath the charm, the confidence, and the grandiose “I’m always right” energy, there’s a whole world of hidden truths most people never see. Some are shocking, some are downright frustrating, and some—well,…
Narcissists have a way of rewriting reality—especially their own. They don’t see themselves as manipulative, cruel, or selfish. Instead, they spin elaborate justifications for their toxic behavior, convincing themselves (and sometimes others) that they are the real victims, the misunderstood geniuses, or the ones who ‘had no choice’ but to act the way they did….
Marriage isn’t a magic cure for mental health struggles, but research consistently shows that married people tend to report fewer depressive symptoms than those who are single, divorced, or widowed. And while that might sound like an argument straight out of a rom-com, the reasons behind it have less to do with ‘finding the one’…
We’ve all heard the dreamy takes on marriage: ‘When it’s right, it’s effortless.’ ‘True love means never going to bed angry.’ ‘Your partner should complete you.’ These ideas sound beautiful, but in reality, they often lead to frustration, disappointment, and unnecessary heartache. The problem isn’t marriage itself—it’s the expectations we attach to it. When people…
When you tell people you don’t have kids, you know what’s coming next: “But who will take care of you when you’re old?” Or the classic “You’ll regret it one day!” But for millions of childfree people in their 40s and 50s, life isn’t some tragic, empty waiting room—it’s full of adventure, deep relationships, and,…
Modern dating is a mess. One minute, you’re texting non-stop; the next, you’re left on read for days. People want “effortless love” but won’t even double-text. And don’t get me started on ghosting, breadcrumbing, or the dreaded situationships. But here’s the thing: dating wasn’t always this complicated. Back in the day, relationships were built on…
We’ve all been there—overanalyzing every little thing in a relationship, convinced that a certain behavior is a massive red flag. But what if I told you some of those so-called warning signs are actually proof you’re in a solid, healthy relationship? Yep, not every “red flag” is a signal to run. In fact, some of…
So, you had kids… and suddenly, your once-sizzling romance turned into a well-oiled (but exhausted) parenting machine. Between diaper duty, school runs, and attempting to function on five hours of sleep, who has time for date nights or deep convos that aren’t about snack preferences? Here’s the truth: kids change your marriage, but they don’t…
