Can you guess the main reason couples who’d benefit from therapy never go?

The answer is, fear.

Fear of being vulnerable, fear of opening up, fear of the unknown, the list goes on and on.

Now, fear is a worthy excuse. However, the cost of skipping therapy due to being afraid usually doesn’t yield the best outcome.

Couples therapy is powerful, and can revive your relationship. If you’re still a little unsure, here’s what you can expect when you and your partner sign up for relationship advice.

Opposites really do attract, and when introverts and extroverts form a relationship, these differences can become glaringly apparent.

But, not to worry. With a little communication and compromise, this union can be as harmonious as yin and yang, balancing each end of the spectrum beautifully.

Communication begins by first identifying your feelings, then expressing them in a way that ensures they’re heard and understood without insulting or diminishing the person you’re speaking with.

Communication issues are one of the biggest reasons why relationships fail. The longer a couple goes without learning how to communicate in a healthy manner, the more damaged the relationship becomes.

Here are some of the top communication pitfalls couples typically experience. If any of them sound familiar, don’t worry—there’s a solution.

Learning how to communicate effectively is a superpower. It’s also attainable—the problem is it’s not something most people are taught.

Are you looking for the perfect romance?

When it comes to romance, we’re all familiar with the Hollywood version which, truth be told, doesn’t appeal to everyone.

The reality is we all have our own definitions of romance. Often though, we never share this with our partner. Which naturally results in feeling disappointed—or even slightly embarrassed on Valentine’s Day, as not everyone cares for flowers.

Here, we invite both you and your other half to clearly lay out your version of romance as defined by none other than YOU.

Sharing your definition (and inviting your other half to do the same) is the best way to get what you want this Valentine’s Day.

New Year, New Bonds – 2025 Connection Goals

That New Year’s energy is mighty alluring, and it’s impossible to not get drawn into a state of reflection: How did the previous year go, and what dreams and aspirations do you have for the next?

Typically, new year’s resolutions tend to err on the personal—a valiant solo effort to improve health, finances, or some other worthy challenge. Rarely do these resolutions involve someone else.

Which—if you’re in a relationship—seems like a missed opportunity. Coming up with relationship goals strengthens your bond, deepens intimacy (both physical and emotional), lessens the likelihood of you drifting apart, improves communication, and much, much more.

With all those benefits, why not reflect on the state of your union, and jump at this chance to better your relationship?

Start the Year with Relationship Goals

Remember that first year together? It was all so effortless. You could literally be doing nothing, yet simply because the two of you were together, you were having the best time in the world.

As anyone who’s been in a long term relationship knows, that passion and ease felt during the early stages doesn’t last forever. Real life sets in, and when that occurs you either have to put effort into the relationship—work to stoke that flame and keep it burning bright—or allow it to slowly and painfully fizzle out.

When you think about your relationship, where are you on that spectrum? Is your relationship continuously growing, or are you two slowly drifting apart?

Since New Year’s is all about reflection and resolutions, let’s take stock of your relationship—and if you realize you may be headed for trouble, don’t worry. We can help.

Most people in relationships would probably never think to consider themselves part of a power couple.

Some believe the term is solely reserved for unions of the rich and famous—and therefore achieving such a lofty classification is beyond reach—and others aren’t quite sure what a power couple actually is.

The truth is, being part of a power couple is more common than you may realize. So common in fact, that you could be part of one without even knowing. Let’s take a look at what the term actually means, and define the qualities that turn a ‘regular’ couple into a power couple.
