Every day, I see men in my office weeping—not in self-pity, but in genuine pain. They feel bankrupt and don’t know what to do. They have no template for how to connect with women or build healthy relationships. It’s like telling someone to build a house without giving them blueprints. We need to give men the tools and language to understand what they’re trying to create. Follow to learn more.

Most people rush: meet, like each other, move in after six months, get married—or think marriage will fix problems. But marriage should feel natural, not like slamming shots in terror. Taking your time means gradual commitment where marriage becomes the obvious next step. Don’t front-load it with dynamite by choosing “trouble.” Look for emotional and economic stability, people working to overcome challenges—not settling with them. Marriage should serve humans, not consume them. Follow to learn more.

As a humanist, I believe institutions should serve humanity—not the other way around. Marriage is one of those institutions. But some flip this idea, insisting humans must serve the institution regardless of whether it fits them. No loving parent would tell their daughter to stay with someone who harms her just to preserve marriage. Follow to learn more.

Some say you nail down relationships with a straitjacket called “no leaving.” I say you achieve intimacy by safely sharing your life incrementally—as friends, dates, partners, then engaged. It’s not locking things down and hoping you don’t harm each other along the way. That’s not how people become friends—why would it work for marriage? Follow to learn more.

Most people become controlling because they love the other person and want something good to happen. But control crosses a line—without equality, there’s no hope for real connection. You have to answer: Am I an abusive person? Some relationships have too much pressure, and we lose it. That means stepping away—not blaming them, but admitting certain situations are beyond your ability to stay humane. Follow to learn more.

Shame usually leads to rage, and rage leads to destructive behavior. As a child, I couldn’t separate myself from my mother’s drinking—her actions felt like my embarrassment. That shame turned into yelling and controlling behavior that followed me into adulthood, even affecting how I parented my own children. It wasn’t until I got help that I could finally let go.

What we all crave is someone who challenges us to deeper levels of intimacy and love. Sometimes that means they don’t share your beliefs—even something as important as your spiritual views. That’s actually great, because two people with different spiritual perspectives can have tremendous spiritual intimacy. What matters isn’t whether you’re atheist, Buddhist, Hindu, or Christian—it’s whether it’s safe for each of you to be who you are with one another. Follow to learn more.

Many people are married and deeply unhappy. They say their spouse is wonderful and loving, but when I ask “How long has it been since you felt loved?” tears start rolling. They admit it’s been years. When they say leaving isn’t an option, I ask: “Would you give your child that same advice?” Everyone says no. That difference is denial. Follow to learn more.

We humbly accept making mistakes in life—that’s why we put erasers on pencils. But some say we should stay stuck in the 13th century with marriage, never introducing leaving as an option. Even without mistreatment, what if someone realizes they just don’t like you? That’s not dysfunction—it’s normal. Sometimes what seemed right becomes a clear mistake. Follow to learn more.

Some voices are beloved by certain men because they reinforce the belief that women who want out of relationships are wrong, that they should stay and work through it no matter what. The message is that anything perpetuating the relationship is good—even if it means forcing people to stay. That’s not about love or partnership. Follow to learn more.

Love is important, but so is courage to stand up for yourself.
