Feb12 HAPPY RELATIONSHIPS 101
It’s no secret that happy people, happy families and happy relationships don’t make headlines. They don’t sell magazines and people don’t flock to twitter to learn that Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are still happily married. Perhaps for these reasons happy relationships are commonly overlooked in today’s society. We focus on what doesn’t work, on failed relationships, and we often hold idealized views of how people in relationships “should” act.

Jan25 HOW TO ATTRACT A PARTNER WORTH KEEPING
A new year means a fresh start with new goals and opportunities. If anything, it’s a great time to reflect on what you want for the year to come. A common theme I hear is “how do I find and keep a secure relationship.” Even though we can’t control when we meet our partner there are many steps we can take to create a space that is stable, secure, and ready for growth.

Dr. Frankie's Love Seat

Betrayed

Dear Dr. Frankie,



I had a sneaking suspicion for the past year that my partner of 11 years was having an affair. I finally convinced her to go to couples therapy because I felt the distance between us growing. My partner eventually admitted having a two-year affair with a close friend of ours. Can I ever trust her again? Does this mean her character is so flawed that she is incapable of having a monogamous relationship?
