		<description><![CDATA[In his last post, Mike wrote about people &#8220;staying together for the kids&#8221;, and how it often doesn&#8217;t turn out to be good for the kids or anyone else involved.  I agree, but I think his reasoning (though very common) is way off base.  This is an issue I&#8217;ve had cause to consider in great [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When asked what the most important thing is in a relationship, the number one answer is surprising.   From what I have seen, “love” seems to be number one.  Trust appears to be coming in at a close second.   Honesty is another heavy hitter in the “Things we want” list but it still won&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been quite a bit of discussion on our Facebook fan page this week about monogamy and whether or not humans are really built to make it work.  The discussion is getting a little heated, so we thought we&#8217;d put it to a vote:

		<description><![CDATA[Tiffany once told me that physical intimacy is like a placebo, an illusion of real intimacy.   I&#8217;ll be the first to admit that I immediately thought she was wrong and just being&#8230;girlie.   How much more intimate can you be than being “intimate”?   However, my obsessive brain and habitual recreational thinking lead me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to playing games, numbers don&#8217;t lie.   I&#8217;d like to say that I am all for the honest and direct approach but I&#8217;ve seen the statistics and games have a higher success rate.  I&#8217;ve talked about this before when I wrote a response to the book “he&#8217;s just not that into you”.

		<description><![CDATA[The truth is, everything is a relationship.  It&#8217;s always troubled me a bit that &#8220;relationship&#8221; has been co-opted to apply to long-term romantic relationships when in fact every human interaction is a relationship of some sort.  We have relationships with the people we work with, family, friends, even the UPS guy who stops in every [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Probably in response to my &#8220;Know What You Want&#8221; post, Mike aptly pointed out that many people&#8230;just don&#8217;t.  I definitely can&#8217;t disagree with that.  I think that very few of us are clear on exactly what we want all of the time, and it&#8217;s certainly subject to change.  For example, when I was in my twenties I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s true.  I tell Mike to cut his losses all the time.  It might seem a bit contradictory, because I&#8217;m not a fan of the modern mentality that says as soon as the roller coaster passion dies down for five minutes, you should start shopping around for someone more exciting.  In theory, I don&#8217;t even [...]]]></description>
