GUYS: How to Get Out of the Dreaded “Friend” Status Without Playing Yourself
When I was in junior high school, I mustered up the courage to ask a girl I had a huge crush on “Will you go with me?” “No. Heath, you’re like a brother to me.” she replied. “Say What Now!” A brother does not feel toward you what I’m feeling…I thought to myself. How...
RUSSELL WILSON: If God Really Told You to Lead Her, Then Here’s 2 Critical Things You Must Do to be Her Leader
I am really intrigued with this one. When I first heard the story that Seattle Seahawks’ quarterback, Russell Wilson, has a new girlfriend, singer Ciara, it didn’t register a blip on my radar of care or concern. Then when I heard they were trying not to have sex, I...
5 Steps to Reinventing Your Marriage…Before the Thrill is Really Gone
Every marriage needs to hit the reset button every 3-5 years. Why? Because people grow. And you encounter…what I call…the "new needs". Remember when you where 20 years old? Did you have the same social, physical, financial, or emotional needs as you did when you were...
4 Ways to Deal with Your Mate’s Insecurities Without Breaking Up
“And who’s that?!?!” “That’s my co-worker.” “Why they have your cell number and texting you this late?” “Chris, stop trippin’! You always do that! I don’t question you…or ask who’s texting you!” Insecure people argue about everything…and nothing. They’re constantly...
5 Ways You Could Be Being Unfaithful to Your Mate Without Even Knowing It
Forget the words adultery, affair, or infidelity for now. Just because you haven’t cheated on your mate or haven’t had an emotional affair doesn’t mean you haven’t been unfaithful to him/her. The myth about faithfulness, from the eyes of the recipient, is my mate will...

I need some desperate help in order to save my relationship with my girlfriend. We have been together for a little over 3yrs and our relationship seems to built around our ability to take care of each other on business. We both have come out of bad marriages and when we met we both fell hard for each other. I have one 20 yr old son and an older stepdaughter, while Kalima has a 17yr handicap daughter a 14yr old daughter who lives with her father and a 5yr and 11yr old. I thought I was ready to jump back into family life after my wife passed in 2014, but I have let my so called life experience cause me to become complacent. On top of that I have been drinking more than usual, and it has caused a great strain on our relationship as well as my children. She thinks that I don’t love her enough to care, but I felt that my 24yrs of marriage should speak for itself….WRONG. I need to learn how to be a better partner and live a long life with her, somehow I just can’t seem to figure it out. We have had two sessions of relationship counseling but I allowed my drinking to be an excuse not to go back. And even if she may not want to participate right now I feel if she sees me trying it will help to resolve some of our differences. Also after 18yrs with one company I was let go in 2015. I work as an independent contractor for a courier service so I spend alot of time driving.
