How did you learn to be in a relationship?

If you had clear guidance from parental role models or significant others in your youth, you are very fortunate. 

What do you do when your soulmate becomes a stranger?

You know that feeling.

The passion fades. The excitement wanes. The affection and courtship behavior settle out and soon you're both pursuing interests in other rooms.

How strong is the bond you share with your partner? Are you and your partner struggling to stay connected? Does “drifting apart” seem like an adequate description of what’s happening between you?

If you’re deeply in love and eager to start your new life as a married couple, you may wonder why you should consider premarital counseling. After all, you’ve found your soul mate and best friend. You’re committed.

Any relationship will go through its fair share of struggles. One of the biggest things that can taint a relationship, however, is infidelity. When you commit to being faithful to someone, you expect the same commitment in return.

When you have a trail of past heartbreaks, it’s tough to look back. Those moments remind you of the hurt and pain that you experienced.

It is often easier for some people to be more vulnerable than others. Maybe you are a bit more closed off than your partner. It could be due to a traumatic experience in the past, a string of bad relationships, or perhaps it is just your personality.
