Are you sacrificing too much in the name of love?
Hey Lauren,
I really love your blogs, they make a lot of sense, and I need your help with something. I’m 39 years old and I’m engaged to a woman I adore. Here’s my problem, she nags me all the time. I want to be there for her but it feels like she’s always demanding so much time and energy. I know you’re supposed to “compromise” in a relationship but it seems like I’m making all the sacrifices and I’m starting to feel like this relations...

From A Role Mate Relationship To A Soul Mate Relationship
I wrote Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus 25 years ago and it continues to touch the lives of people in over 150 countries.
When I travel the world, the most frequent question I hear is "Does that book still apply to relationships today?"
The short answer: yes, essentially.
The long answer is more complex.
Men Are from Mars still holds timeless teachings that can be applied to every relationship in your life. But I realize the world has changed dramatically si...

A simple exercise to open your heart to each other no matter what.
Gratitude practice has become a popular path to experiencing more happiness and fulfillment in life. But you may be surprised to know how “gratitude” can help your relationship as well.
Most of our dissatisfaction in life comes from looking at what we don’t have, at the absence of something we want.

How To Have A Complaint-free Relationship
For many men and women, the thought of never having to hear another complaint sounds like heaven. In a complaint-free relationship, love is sure to grow. But complaints are a part of life. To not complain is to hide a part of our authentic self. Sharing complaints is actually not the real problem; it is how you are sharing your complaints about your partner to your partner! A complaint-free relationship does not mean you can never complain; it means you don’t complain about your partner to......

Why men cock block your feelings instead of listening.
Hi Lauren,
I need your help. It seems like every time I try to bring something up about our relationship and express my honest feelings, it turns into a fight. Specifically, I open up, he gets irritated and says “drop it.” I’m not one to be bulldozed over so I keep talking. I should be allowed to express to myself to my own boyfriend. He just keeps saying, “drop it” and eventually leaves the room and slams the door.

How To Talk To A Man So He Will Listen
When I am speaking to an audience, I like to ask them, "How many of you have been divorced?" Most times, more than half of the crowd raises their hands.
Then I say, "Put your hands down if your parents were also divorced." Usually only a few people drop their hands, leaving a large group of people who have been divorced but their parents are still married.
I finally say, "Keep your hands up if you think you have better communication skills than your parents.&qu...

Want a successful relationship? When your partner let's you down, do this...
It’s easy to find fault. It’s always going to be easy to find fault in our partners. We’re human. We make mistakes. And because we open our hearts to and find ourselves leaning on our partner’s for support, it can be VERY obvious when they screw something up, make a mistake, or let us down.
But what separates a dissatisfying relationship from a fulfilling one is looking past the fault and finding the loving intention. Squinting through your partner’s mistake...

'When I'm upset, he just makes it worse!' How couples can communicate better and without all the drama.
Dear Lauren,
I don't feel comfortable talking to my boyfriend when I feel sad, because what's the point? He doesn't give me his full attention. And he gets really disturbed that I get angrier the longer he “listens.” It just seems like he doesn't know what to do or what to say. He's stuck in fix it mode.
I don't want our relationship to end, but it bothers him when I'm upset and can't talk about it. I’ve given up and don’t talk an...

The surprising truth about dating a selfish man (or a series of selfish men)
Hi Lauren! Thank you so much for all that you do. I’ve learned so much. My question is, what do you do if you’re dating a narcissist? Or in my case, a series of narcissists? It seems like every relationship I start, it’s all about what HE wants to do, or what HE wants to talk about, which is usually himself. I know I deserve more than that. What’s your advice when you’re dating a selfish man?
