Did you know that a long-term relationship is beneficial to your health? Apparently people in committed lasting relationship have better health and fewer doctor visits! Research says all kinds of positive things happen to our bodies when we cultivate a happy and long relationship! Everything from depression a better immune system and even pain control! We are biological organic social animals hardwired for connection. Loving and being loved is a basic human need. In fact with

Ok, there are a lot of different ways to interpret this particular set of words being proposed to someone, many of which could certainly refer to things like “50 Shades of Grey” or any number of delicate matters of that nature, but in this context, let us please assure you that this post will not include any embarrassing content. J The subject title this week is referring to that amazing feeling we get when we look into the eyes of the thing that loves us most on earth beside

Do you have a symbol of your love? Do you have “a thing like radar love” like the Dutch band: Golden Earring does in their seventies hit song? You know? Something you can look at , touch , feel… A power object that reminds you in a second of the amazing relationship potential you have together? Traditionally we could say that for most people it has been a wedding ring, this symbol of eternity dating back to Ancient Egypt almost 5000 years ago. But in the 21st century modern s

Have you ever lost someone you loved and was sure that if you could ever go back in time you would do anything to keep that love? Or even told someone in the beginning of a relationship that you would do anything for them? C’mon admit it! Most of us have! And more often then we’d like to admit we find ourselves in situations that are out of our comfort zone because of our willingness to keep love. Some of those instances could even prove quite embarrassing right! But we won’t

You might say love works like a magnet. That awesome pull feels so irresistible, chemical, magical even! Love transcends race, borders and genders. It is stronger then rules or obligations and most certainly: logic. At it’s most extreme it is something to live for and die for. Love is that unseen “Superglue” that keeps us together! In our couple, it is what motivates us to create jointly and re-build the world together! We would like to let you in on a little secret now: This

Do you feel love only when shit’s going right? Do you withdraw your love when your relationship is tasting a bit like a dirt sandwich? This is called emotional blackmail and it gives love a bad name! But don’t worry , It’s not exactly your fault! And it’s almost certain that we all do it on some level at some point in our journey. This is simply because as a species we’ re built with such a strong sense of self-preservation that when the proverbial shit hits the fan our figh

Oh oh catch that buzz/Love is the drug I’m thinking of… Well, yeah… That is one way to go thru life, eternally hunting for the next high that the first whiff of love invariably generates. Indeed, the early phases of love often feel like a euphoric drug induced state! And there’s actually a good reason for that! According to some super modern research, feelings of love affect the brain in similar ways as powerful pain relievers do! So guess what happens when you get used to th

Everybody loves somebody as the famous song says. Yet everyone we meet when they find out how long we’ve been together wants to know the secret to our love. Well, maybe the secret to love is: (drumroll please!) to love. Wouldn’t it be great if we could establish some kind of even playing ground and all agree on what the meaning of love is? At the very least can we perhaps find a definition of it for ourselves? Like, Is it a feeling? An emotion? A decision? Does love make you

Ever wake up in a funk? I mean the kind of funk where it’s like you don’t even wanna participate in the human race. YOU.JUST.DON’T. Period. When you are in that mood, you just don’t want to speak to anyone, be seen by anybody, or do anything at all, whatsoever… But, you have no choice because you share your life with someone, and they’re in the same house as you, eating at the same table, using the same organic soap, and basically breathing the same air… OY! Now on more typic

So you wanna know what real love really is? Of course you do! But still, we’ll bet that you think 30 years with the same person is a really long time… Well how about forever then? Pretty dang long now isn’t it, right? We feel you! Yet don't you think it's funny (funny weird, not funny Haha!) that the word “forever” is practically built into most marriage vows and most declarations of love? It certainly is in every fairy tale we were raised on! We're lookin' at you Cinderell
