Great resources and tips on relationships

Their research findings emphasize the idea that couples must learn to manage conflict rather than avoid or attempt to eliminate it.

Heart ache of being dumped

“Parting is all we need to know of hell.” Emily Dickinson got it right. Almost no one in the world escapes the feelings of emptiness, hopelessness, fear and fury that rejection can create. Among college students at Case Western Reserve, 93% of both men and women reported that they had been dumped by someone they passionately loved; 93% also said they had rejected someone who was deeply in love them. And these men and women were still young—with decades of love, and possible disasters, ahead of them. Ain’t love grand? You bet…when your passion is returned and things are going well. But when love is unrequited, it’s a whole other story. The following page The Anatomy of Love is jammed pack with up to date research on love, rejection,why we are chemically hijacked in love , plus informative videos and quizzes
