#BradPitt #JenniferAniston #Brennifer #Brangelina #SAGAwards #Relationships #Blogger Hearts stopped all over the world at that hand grab and hold. Even if you are not a fan of Brennifer, you have to admit that moment was touching (pun intended). Some people seem extremely skeptical at the thought of Brad and Jennifer getting back together, largely because most still remember the embarrassment he caused her, the years of scrutiny she had as a result of his high profile relationship with Angelina and worse still how she became the object of pity in many tabloid magazines. All that being said, J ..read more

Heartbreak was heard all around the world last September 13 when Justin Bieber married Hailey Baldwin in a private court ceremony. Up until that moment, many Jelena fans still held onto hope that Justin and Selena would eventually reconcile. But not me. I was still fascinated by the fact that Selena had already called it quits on almost 10 years of a toxic relationship that many people (including her) mistook for love. (Read my blog post on How To Know if You're in a Health Relationship to find out more about healthy vs. toxic relationships). See if we are to believe the reports we were hearin ..read more

1. You Have to be Honest While it can be tempting to present yourself as greater than you are –i.e. $100, 000 richer, 5 inches taller, 30 pounds slimmer- eventually your matchmaker and your future date are going to realize who you really are. Eventually the dishonesty will destroy the relationship and you’ll be back to where you started, single. Instead, focus on accentuating the positive qualities that you do have, and actively working on things about yourself you wish to improve. 2. You Have to do the Work Hiring a matchmaker does not mean that you skip all the steps that lead up to a long t ..read more

Red flags are actions or words that you hear from people that you are involved with that give you insight into major problems that will come down the road. They are important to pay attention to because if ignored, they lead to major issues that can cause stress and anxiety, or end the relationship down the road. Without significant insight, most people tend to ignore the same red flags over and over (If this has been your pattern, please read my article 7 Things You Can Do To Stop Choosing the Wrong Partner). For those people it is important to not only to think about the issues that continu ..read more

Let's face it, some people are naturally better at picking partners and negotiating relationship boundaries than others. Those people are generally those who grew up being fed healthy messages about relationships, dating, marriage and the opposite sex. As a result, for them, being in a healthy relationship is as natural as waking up, and breathing. For those not in this category, understanding if a relationship is healthy is not as innate. So how do you know how to evaluate whether a relationship is worth pursuing? It's important to recognize that it is a process, and one that takes time. And ..read more

Despite efforts over the last few years to try and neutralize gender stereotypes, we still live in a culture in which gender roles significantly influence how men and women interact in relationships. Women all over the world for years have directly and indirectly been given the message that adult life begins and ends with being married and having children. Men on the other hand are often encouraged to enjoy their adult years, and settle down only after they’ve finished sowing their wild oats. These messages have led to males and females approaching dating with vastly different styles with men ..read more

No matter what the religious, cultural or geographical background, single people always seem to ask the same question. Where can I find other single people who are looking for a relationship. Add when you add all those other factors in, like looking for someone of a particular culture or religion, the struggle becomes that much more difficult. For those of you seriously struggling to find a like-minded Christ-like match, here is my list of 10 place you can go to meet Christian singles. 1. Volunteer at Christian Agencies There are always a few in major cities that cater to a variety of needs, a ..read more

In a previous post, we explore whether people have relationship types (If you haven't read that post, find it here). In this article I'll be exploring how people can break the cycle of picking the wrong type over and over. 1. Identify the Pattern Remember that before you can do anything to change your future, you have to identify that there is an issue in the past/present. Recognize that no one person has every area of their lives figured out, and if relationships are an area you struggle with, you might need a little help. Therapy, family, friends, relationship coaches are all things you can ..read more

HRH The Duchess of Sussex turns 38 today! And in honour I thought I’d do a blog on lessons we’ve learned from her love story. Here’s hoping it inspires you to find yours. 1. Don’t Wait for Someone Else to be Happy Remember The Tig? Meghan Markle’s blog that urged us to “be the change we wish to see in the world”. It was my only go to celebrity blog because it had a lot of important messages. The most beautiful was a message to all singles, but especially to women. In a world that seems to promote the idea of frantically and desperately finding someone (anyone) to attach yourself to, to avoid b ..read more

For a long time, I’ve been fascinated by the fact that there are some people who seem to pick the same “type” of person over and over, despite the fact that their relationships continue to end in disaster.  But when people say “type”, what do they actually mean?  Does type refer to a person’s preference in appearance, character, or personality -and which characteristic actually impacts the success of relationships? Well, after some research, it seems the evidence points to all three. For example, there are a number of studies that suggest when it comes to physical preference, beauty ..read more
