No matter how long you’ve been together, there are some simple, fundamental rules of the road. Putting them into practice isn’t always easy, but it is critical. Make your relationship stronger, and the good stuff—fun, sex, trust, affection—will be better than ever.

“I found it wasn’t so hard to live only one day at a time. I learned to forget the yesterdays and to not think of the tomorrows. Each morning I said to myself, ‘Today is a new life.”

Dale Carnegie

We have all the tools we need to love ourselves and be our own best advocate, inside us already.

Many times, we think success stems from having an abundance of wealth, expensive items, and high social stature. In reality, none of that means anything if we are not in alignment with our own soul and ideas and if we aren’t truly happy.

To “let go” does not mean to stop caring, it means that I can’t do it for someone else. To “let go” is not to cut myself off, it is the realization that I can’t control another. To “let go” is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences. To “let go” is to admit powerlessness, which means that the outcome is not in my hands. To “let go” is not to try to change or blame another, it is to make the most of myself.

When I say ‘I love you’, it means that I treasure your heart. It means that I value you. And it means that I see a future with you.

When I say ‘I love you’, it means that I trust you with my whole soul. It means that you being happy, makes me happy. And it means that I would never ever want to do anything to hurt you.

"If you want something out of life you gotta act like it."

It has been said that people enter our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime.

Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits. Thomas Jefferson
