Conflict is inevitable, but doesn't have to be destructive. Put any two people together — even the two most perfect people — and there will be conflict. We wrote this article a while back to help couples successfully negotiate conflict in their relationship.

Just because you fight doesn't mean your marriage is over.

Among the thing I have learned in life is the truth that we hurt one another in human relationships. There are times we had no idea that a word or action inflicted pain on our partner. There are also times when we deliberately do or say something to purposely hurt them. There are some lines that should never be crossed in marriage and this article I wrote is about six of them.

The simplest ways to avoid breaking up.

Keeping the "life" and "spark" in a marriage relationship requires attention and effort from both partners. A little bit of consistent effort can go a long way toward maintaining a fulfilling marriage. We wrote this article for YourTango Magazine to give some pointers on how to go about it.

Wanting to communicate well and doing so are two different things.

As parents, you are your child's first teachers! It is a daunting task with many competing forces working to instill values in your kids. This is an article I wrote for Your Tango online magazine about lessons I believe our children need to learn from us.

I just had a great conversation with my younger brother this afternoon regarding his efforts to instill some of these ideas into the lives of his grandchildren.

We are our kid's first teachers.

I talked to someone recently who told me about a marriage that was breaking up. Evidently the husband was not making any investment in the life of his wife and children. It is difficult for a marriage to survive without time, energy and effort spent to take care of each other. If it remains one sided for too long, the other side is likely to give up and eventually look elsewhere for legitimate needs to be met.

Debbie and I wrote this article on concepts that when put into practice will help a marriage to grow and become even better through the years.

Maintaining a healthy relationship involves attention and intention. That is . . . we give attention to the right things and we are intentional about taking care of each other. I wrote this article about things we should be intentional about avoiding and also that need attention to carrying out.

As a marriage counselor, one of the main complaints or issues that couples presented had to do with the inability to communicate on any sort of meaningful level. Life can get us SO busy that we have little time together as a couple. What little time there is to talk can get used in simply dealing with the details of planning daily schedules and taking care of immediate demands, needs and issues.

It takes time, effort and conscious decisions to cut through the daily demands and current urgent concerns and to communicate on a meaningful level. I wrote this article about some of the questions to bring up to your spouse that will deepen the level of communication in your marriage.

Wanting to communicate well and doing so are two different things.

To experience ups and downs in marriage might be the norm form most couples. Live has a way of throwing things at us that upset the "plan" or how we thought it would be. Here is an article I wrote a while ago about how to begin turning things around before problems get too hard to handle.

Learning how to fix a broken marriage is a process.

Frustration with a spouse or family member can build if not address. This unaddressed frustration can lead to anger and contempt which can split a marriage apart if left to fester. Here is an article I wrote about what to do when this cycle shows up in your marriage.

Extreme frustration can feel like hate.

Most couples believe that they will stay close throughout their relationship because they feel so close to begin with. When couples feel they are drifting apart it can create confusion, hurt, disappointment and disillusionment. They often feel and voice the frustration that they never thought it would happen to them. I wrote this article for the Your Tango online magazine to lay out the steps needed to get back couple closeness.

The thing you thought would never happen has.

Insecurity for either partner in a marriage can have a negative impact on the relationship. I wrote this about ways an insecure husband may be acting or acting out in a marriage. Healing takes time but is worth all the effort that is put into it - not only for the sake of the insecure partner but also to have a much more fulfilling relationship.

Healing insecurity takes time.
