    it only works if both can committ,...in other for me i think it's time i let go, for some relationships the other is to greedy and selfish to even try....

    Um, I don't know about this article.Yeah, it's true-you SHOULD MAKE time for your marriage if you have one. However, this almost sounds like, "FORGET YOUR KIDS-they'll govern themselves!"

    I think this was a great reminder. We all tend to forget the little things.

    Raising kids after so many years(23yrs). Relationship was so focus on bills, growth-educational advantage,materials,promotions,etc...Now, the kids are grown, got every things needed. Then, I wake-up-I've realized I have been sleeping in a separae bedroom with my partner.This week, it's his vacation, he's been flirting every seconds-the problem is I don't know how to relate anymore intemately. I felt the distance even we're close.So , I'd asked-what happen to US? We talked openly all the passing years--good and bad.We became silent knowing we understood our actions...The question now...IS it possible to reconnect like it was...emotionally?we just grow apart emotionally. Mentally still connected politically, business, and others....The important part is somewhat buried,cold, and empty. How can a person measure success when at the end the one became the ZERO. Thanks for the article....Maybe time to date him all over again.

    Balancing all aspects of home and relationships today is no easy task however definitely is easier provided the communication is present in the relationship to facilitate ongoing growth within the relationship.Have safe and happy holidays to all.

    Hello there; I thought the article was very well written, with practical ideas to try in the realm of relationships. We all want to give and receive unconditional love, knowing that may just be a dream, or finding it within you/God. I am just getting into a romance at age 53 with a guy about the same age, and we each have been out of intimate relationships for 2 years. Instead of worrying about failure, I choose positive action and a friendly attitude. To me, being sincere means so much. I have long held the belief of not watching TV or reading in bed -- just use it for "bed stuff." Love to you all. from Clearwater Beach, FL.
