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.

Dec03 NAVIGATING THE HOLIDAYS
As the holidays are upon us, the pressure of seeing family, participating in festivities, or just surviving the hoopla, can feel overwhelming. I don’t know about you, maybe it’s my Jewish upbringing, but I associate this time of year with several questions including, “are you seeing anyone?” “when are we going to meet your special someone?”, or “how’s the family?”.

Dr. Frankie's Love Seat

Hoping to Avoid a Schism

Dear Dr. Frankie,


My partner and I have been together for two years now. She is wonderful and we are compatible in every way but one and unfortunately it’s a big one. I was raised as an Orthodox Jew and she was raised as a devout Baptist. Although I don’t go to synagogue as often as I should, I’m deeply attached to my culture and feel strongly that my (future) children be raised Jewish. My partner goes to church on Sunday and is very close to her religion. We both want kids and she wants to raise her child as a Baptist. Aside from this very important but difficult issue of religion we are great together. Can we overcome this? I’m feeling more and more anxiety about it as time goes on.

Dear Hoping to Avoid a Schism,


It sounds as if your relationship would sustain if children were not involved. Unfortunately, since you both feel strongly about having children and raising them in your own faiths, I predict very troubled waters ahead.
