In your marriage, was there ever a time when you forgot to be your spouse’s husband or wife? I want you to think about this for a minute. Whether you are currently married or are recently divorced, I want you to think about whether there was ever a time that you really forget that you [...]

I was having a great conversation with my coach Shogo today and we were talking about men who treat women as their possession. A lot of very wealthy men, especially men in the financial industry and the entertainment industry, have a frequent tendency to treat the women in their lives as their possessions

So, you find yourself growing up and all your friends are married. You go to wedding after wedding and, of course, your friends’ wives come up to you and say, “When are YOU going to get married?”

One thing you notice when you get to the breakup point is that you actually fight less with your partner. You fight less because in your mind and in your heart you start detaching yourself from the other person, and you don’t care as much anymore.

Do you know what’s funny about relationships? Let’s talk about something no one seems to want to talk about when it comes to relationships.

Do you ever suffer from breathing issues, where you feel like each breath is laboring through your body? Every breath you take hurts. Every step you take hurts. I am not talking about a case of the swine flu. I am talking about heartache. We don’t ever really talk about heartache. Do you ever get into a huge fight with your significant other, and you just feel like it’s the end of the world? How about if your significant other breaks up with you, or you break up with them?
