How To Take Back Control Of Your Love Life
I know what you are thinking...what love life? No, no, jokes aside; there's this forever impending doom and gloom of pursuing a potential relationship with anybody (that is unless you are a super smooth individual in which I should let you depart us now and use your wisdom rather than spend your time on this article). However, for those of you still here, I intend to pass my wisdom on.

John and Jane...and Communication
In order for a relationship to work, be it a friendship or a romantic situation, communication is key. Without it, a stand still will be reached, interest will be lost, and the creation will come to a crumbling end. This end can be peaceful or warlike depending on the parties involved. Without communication, there is no learning, there is no growth as a couple or as an individual. A true relationship forces both members to bend, but not break, to listen as well as respond. Today, many people listen only to react, not truly respond in an intelligent and healthy manner. It is selfish communication that only serves individuals in prolonging an argument or the status quo.

Things You Shouldn't Say to an Interracial Couple
I am white, and my fiance is black. This shouldn't be a problem, however, it does seem to cause an issue with a lot of people. Or, rather, it seems to cause a lot of problems for the two of us — simply because people seem to be blissfully unaware that there are things you shouldn't say to an interracial couple.

Questions to Ask in a New Relationship
When you first start going out with someone, everything seems magical. They are the best thing since sliced pie, and you often get the warm, fuzzy feeling that they are going to be The One. Beginnings are all about being lovebirds and romantic. That's why they call it the "Honeymoon Phase."

The Millennial's Guide to Relationships: What NOT To Do
“I don’t even know who that is!,” “She’s just a friend from high school…” “You can trust me…” these are just a few of the lines I, as well as my friends, have heard over the past few years from our own former significant others. Millennials seem to be having the hardest time grabbing onto a relationship that they’re willing to keep. It has become a paradox; everyone talks about how they want a faithful lover yet they aren’t committed when getting into a serious relationship. Here’s a news flash kiddos, you have to want to be faithful to be in a committed relationship! Contrary to popular belief, “talking” in today’s society is considered “dating” and it’s one of the biggest problems with the way young adults believe they should begin their journey of love. My main goal for you all is to possibly show you what the problems are and what NOT to do the next time you want to get into a serious relationship.

Stop Looking for the Good in People; Start Seeing Their Truth.
Before we get into this, a little disclaimer: please don't think that I am trying to give advice. I don't mean to come across as "holier than thou" and if I do, then that is not my intention. I'm simply letting you in to my innermost thoughts at this moment in time, and you are very welcome to take or leave what I'm saying. After all, what do I know? I'm just trying to figure it out like everyone else.

Why We Should Set Boundaries
I've never been very good at setting boundaries. It seems like a lot of work to me. But lately, I've started to reflect on how I manage relationships with those around me and it occurred to me that setting boundaries is in fact pretty necessary in life. It can make a real difference about how we're treated by others.
