Is your anger obstructing your relationship?
Whether we’ve been wronged, denied or offended, we have all been angered. However, the way we deal with our anger can vary. We may get defensive if we feel attacked or offended. Some may keep it inside until one little thing blows the top off and they finally let it all out at once. People often don’t realize the consequences of their anger outbursts until after the outburst has occurred. The hardest part is after the episode when trying to eradicate the damage you may have done to your partner and relationship. Like anything else, there is a right and wrong way to control and manage your anger. How is your anger affecting your relationship and what can you do to manage it?

Do you know how to keep your relationship exciting?
Are New Year’s Resolutions for couples a good idea? With the New Year comes new resolutions and new promises to ourselves to do better in the upcoming year. After the holiday meals and goodies we resolve to better our physical health by eating better, exercising more, and cutting out the sweets and sodas. We promise to kick our bad habits of smoking, drinking, or biting our nails. Some decide to become more organized, reduce stress levels, and be more independent. We seem to be more focused on making ourselves better with these resolutions, but what about our relationships? Is there something we can do in the New Year to keep our relationships health and exciting?
