Jealousy inside a relationship normally falls into one of two categories: abusive jealousy and ordinary, insecurity-driven jealousy. You can identify an abusively jealous relationship by observing your partner’s behavior: does he or she demand to check your cell phone records? Does he or she scream at you, threaten you, or even hit you when you come home from hanging out with your friends?

When you’re in love with more than one person, it is important to make a few mental distinctions. First, are you in a relationship with more than one person, or do you simply love two people from afar? If the latter, are you just fantasizing about the possibility of being with one of them? If that is the case, you probably don’t need to worry that you have a problem: if a relationship develops, you’ll simply forget the second crush.

A healthy and happy sexual lifestyle improves an individual’s whole outlook on life. It also imparts physical benefits of which many are unaware. However, just having “sex” regularly is not the total answer.

We all want intimacy in our relationships, but it takes courage and creativity to love someone in the way they want to be loved. However, it is worth the effort to try to love someone in ways to which they respond, because they will receive your love willingly and reciprocate it.

The beautiful thing about marriage is that you have your whole life to work out the flaws in it. A little bit of energy and creativity invested into the relationship can light a spark of affection in your spouse’s heart, and when he or she starts to reciprocate the affection, it may light a fire of newfound passion between you.

If you are in a relationship in which you’re the “other woman”—that is to say, your partner is cheating on his wife or serious girlfriend in order to be with you—you have some serious thinking to do about what you want from the relationship and how you intend to proceed.

You had a fight, whether for good or not-so-good reasons, and now it’s time to pick up the pieces and move on. The trouble is, however, that you’re not sure where to start. Here are a few tips that might help.

Love is a force that acts a lot like the ocean: at times it seems stronger or weaker, but at all times it is shaping the world around it, renewing things and keeping things alive. You can best experience this phenomenon by observing your own significant relationships.

Guys, you’ve probably noticed that you seem to put your foot in your mouth a lot when you’re talking to your girlfriend, but you’re not sure why—after all, everyone else seems to think you’re a nice guy.

It is normal and natural for relationships to go through periods of distance, in which the two partners are not functioning on their desired level of intimacy. When you are in one of those times, it can be difficult to remember what keeps you in the relationship. However, if you are patient, you can find signs that your partner is still deeply in love with you.
