We're back with your Monthly Therapy Moment! This month, Jazmine breaks down how you can be more intentional with your partner, and improve your relationship! Spoiler alert: It's more simple than you think and these three small tips can make a BIG difference in your relationship!

Boundaries are often thought of as imaginary lines or bubbles surrounding us that we prefer for others not to cross.  While that’s true to an extent, boundaries within your relationship are much more comprehensive.  We have been trained to believe that if we have to set boundaries in our relationships, then we are creating a wall between us and our partners. That’s simply not true! When done well, boundaries are essentially just healthy "rules" that can actually help bring you and your partner closer together.  In this article, we’ll look at 4 ways you can set healthy boundaries in your relationship that will benefit both you and your partner!

Your family likely has their own traditions when it comes to celebrating the holiday season, just as your partner's family probably has their own.   It can be tough to decide who's family you'll celebrate with and which traditions you'll participate in - or maybe you and your partner want to start creating your own!  The holidays are fast approaching and despite this typically being a joyous time of year, you may find yourself having some difficult conversations with family regarding which holiday traditions you'll be participating in.   In this video, Robyn breaks down 3 tips that will help you prepare for these conversations with your partner and your families, minimizing your stress around the hustle and bustle of the holidays!

Oftentimes, when one thinks of what a relationship will be, they picture a partnership; a union between equals. It is no secret that achieving that ideal partnership requires a lot of work from both partners and that it can be a challenge to maintain, even for those in excellent physical health  But when one partner has chronic pain or a chronic illness, it brings forward a whole new reality that - while not impossible - makes the feeling of equality within that partnership more difficult to achieve. It is usually near-impossible for the partner without the condition to fully understand how it affects their partner without being able to experience it themselves, and in addition to the physical stresses on his/her body, the person with the chronic condition may also have feelings of guilt or inadequacy because they’re not be able to keep up with the kids or contribute to the household as much as they would like.

We've all heard of the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you'd like done to you.  But what if we told you that can actually land you in trouble when it comes to your relationship?   In this video, Irene Schreiner breaks down the Platinum Rule, including actionable tips that will help you adjust your perspective and strengthen your relationship with your partner!

When it comes to parenting styles, you may say no two are the same. What works for one family may not for the other, and situations are handled differently - not only from household to household, but sometimes even from parent to parent under the same roof!

Check out the video for tips on how you can set expectations for your children while reducing parenting stress in your relationship!

Social media is literally everywhere. It is the way we share pieces of ourselves, receive news, connect with friends and family, and most of all, occupy our time. It is truly difficult to look around and not find at least one person in the room looking at their phone. It is entirely possible that they could be texting someone, checking up on emails, or even shopping. Just about everything that we do today has been condensed into an electronic rectangle that sits in our pocket. While this is the norm, we often neglect to observe the impact it may have on our relationships, especially romantic ones.
