“Why are you ignoring me? Hello?”
“I saw you were online and laughing with friends.”
“I guess you don't care about me, since you are ignoring me."

Recurring messages like these can indicate controlling behavior, a red flag in an unhealthy relationship.

In a healthy, safe relationship, it is important to show respect for boundaries, trust, and independence.

In recognition of National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, we encourage continued conversations about identifying early warning signs and promoting healthy relationship behaviors.

Today is National Spouses Day!

This is a day to take a moment to recognize spouses everywhere and celebrate the importance of a strong, supportive partnership.

Here are a few meaningful, but simple ways to celebrate National Spouses Day today!

1. Say thank you for the little things they do every day (a little thank you can go a long way)
2. Write a short note or message expressing your appreciation (tip: leave it in their lunch box or by the coffee pot for the morning!)
3. Spend intentional, quality time together (tip: listen to your favorite album or go on a walk together!)
4. Revisit and talk about your favorite memory (tip: pull up old photos!)
5. Do something kind just to make their day easier!
