DNA of Online Dating

In the modern dating environment, it is nearly impossible to avoid the allure of online dating. The idea of having a resource that exponentially increases your chances at finding true love (or whatever other romantic pursuits you desire), almost seems too good to be true. Unfortunately, the advent of online dating has not been a 'cure-all' for loneliness and heartbreak. In fact, some would argue that it may have even directly contributed to more instances of failed romantic endeavors over the...

DNA of Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day can be one of the more stressful holiday experiences for many in relationships, as you toil over finding the perfect gift or experience for you and your partner. No one wants to select the wrong gift, or convey the wrong message with some poorly choreographed grand gesture of pronounced love for your significant other. Yet no matter how pure your intentions may be, the pressure may still feel rather intense as the fourteenth of February falls upon us. But the question still re...

As we are find ourselves well into the holidays, many of us will be exchanging gifts over this winter season. Giving gifts to the people we love can often be a stressful experience, however, receiving gifts can be difficult as well depending on the person and context.

DNA of Purpose Within Your Relationship

Many of us date just to date. Solely because it feels better than being alone. Sometimes the relationships we are in aren't even good relationships. But a relationship sometimes feels better than no relationship. Unfortunately, this is not sustainable, and these shallow relationships often fail because they are without true purpose. Healthy and long lasting relationships exist with purpose, both for the individuals, and for the couple as a whole. If we are with someone, we need to have ...

DNA of The Romantic Spark

Love can feel like it's forged in fire...built on a flame that burns with passion when you've fallen for someone. But what happens when we begin to feel like that flame is going out? How do we stoke the embers to ensure our fire stays lit? Well first, we assess whether that fire should be burning in the first place. Sometimes we are just not meant to be, and a dwindling flame can be a clear indicator that warmth is gone in the relationship...and maybe, it's time to burn your torch elsewhere. ...

DNA of Fidelity

Humans have been searching for the key to finding and maintaining successful monogamous relationships for centuries. This makes sense, given the tremendous amount of effort we put into finding the loves of our lives. It is only natural that we would want such relationships to "make it" in the end. However, "making it" often entails remaining faithful, which is something that is easier said than done for most. Many of us have or will be unfaithful, in some capacity, within our lifetimes. It is...

DNA of Getting Back in the Game

Finding "the one" is hard, and it is made even more difficult when you realize that the person you're with, isn't that special person. Break-ups are incredibly tough, but what's even more exhausting, is the immediate life after the break-up. The life that involves the arduous task of once again, initiating the search for the love of your life. This journey was hard enough the first time, and no one really wants to run it back in life, especially after a hefty romantic swing and a miss. But do...

DNA of Partner Selection

Finding the right person can feel as hard as looking for a needle in a haystack. We dig and dig and dig, and just when we think we've found love, that needle pokes us, leaving a lasting wound where hope used to be. This can leave us feeling exhausted and jaded with dating altogether, often leading to settling, sometimes out of pure loneliness. It doesn't have to be this way though. Finding and selecting the right partner is a skill, and it can be developed over time if your mind and motivatio...
